Sometimes my brain doesn't work. So I desperately need an example. Possibly more than one.
On those days a man page is guaranteed to make me frustrated, rageful and possibly in tears.
So Imagine how that feels for others who don't have our training folks.
No one wants to be made to feel lesser because your documentation is poor.
Sometimes folks can't RTFM. You need to give them more than that.

@onepict@chaos.social I hear that. I learn best when I reverse-engineer something so examples and working demos are so much better for me.

@onepict@chaos.social a manual is useless in most scenarios if its so overly verbose it does not readily cover basic usage
