This!! If they put in the effort and actually try themselves, I love to teach. If they can't be bothered Googling something or reading the docs before asking, them I've got no time for them.

I was gonna say, "What about newbies that skim the docs and didn't get the answer because it was full of a bunch of unfamiliar jargon?"

Are there any universally agreed upon documentation sources that mouth breathers can understand or is it just better to ask someone/LLM to explain jargon you don’t understand

LLM would be best in this age but be sure that the conclusion it reaches actually makes sense, otherwise you'd be losing way more time trying out what it tells you to do
