What if you're having trouble with an API, you don't look at code to see what kind of arguments a function needs? You just go to the docs? What if the docs are sparse?
> 2) I have to because i'm having integration problem
i'll prob go to the docs first and source code last. that said, my point isn't "avoid looking at source code". It's "I don't seek out source code of libraries for the purposes of learning".
if i'm trying to get stuff done, i don't give two shits how a third party tool wrote its fancy functions. that's the point of abstraction.
and most of the time, when i'm using third party tools i'm just trying to get shit done.
