I mean sure. This usually works okay. But some manuals are terrible. Specially those written by Google and Microsoft. Well mostly Microsoft. Google was probably good, I was just major verions behind.
Google docs are written like they assume you already know the docs. ๐
The only google docs I've used are for Google Analytics and they are TERRIBLE
Because their programmers are too busy to RTFM themselves to properly write a decent FM.
IME I'll rather find some openapi docs for Google than their actual product docs. As in, I'll start out trying to read their kubernetes docs, then shortly after it's "fuck it, I'm going to docs.rs/k8s-openapi".
My actual worst case are Elastic's docs, though. Somehow they have plenty of stuff in there, just never the stuff I'm trying to figure out.
Many man pages are also terrible
