Can you give an example?

I mean: if you're learning a new language/library/framework it's really useful to have a broad idea of what the tooling for it looks like.. what features does it offer? You can look up the details when you need to

It's really useful to have a broad knowledge of algorithms and what problems they're applicable to. Look up the details later

If you're going into a new domain.. know the broad, high level pieces of it. You don't need to pre-learn the specifics of websockets but if you don't even know they exist or what they're useful for in web development.. that's kind of a problem

Even more abstract concepts like how to design code there's a lot of good info out there

If every generation had to re-invent the wheel from scratch we'd never get anywhere. The problem people have is they think ONLY reading is enough
