Great point. I remember years back when I tried to learn Webpack and I found it to be unnecessarily complex for me at the time and I did not get which problem it was trying to solve. It was only when I decided to do things on my own way that I hit limits that I had my Eureka moment.

It is sad that newcomers are told to learn this tool and that tool while they never get to know the problem those tools are solving.

Another experience that triggered an A-ha moment for me, was reading the OAuth2 RFC (6749). I had previously read multiple docs of libraries implementing the protocol and had integrated with such libraries in the past, but it was only when I read RFC and the problems the different flows try solve that it finally clicked.
