You mean like we all did if you’re like me and started writing code in late 80s to mid 2000s?
Fucking amateurs…
Yeah, but to fair, we had comprehensive manuals.

At office in 1991 I started programming for IBM PCs in DOS, that was a big step into the void.
In the late 80s there were no man pages, we had a 50 page paper manual - and it was mostly useless.
This is the way
Poes law is hard at work here
