in my experience among personality types of programmers both laborers and artists are opposed to the reading of guides, I think the laborers due to laziness and the artists due to a high susceptibility to boredom and most guides are not written to the intellectually engaging level of SICP.
Craftsmen are naturally the type to read the guide through.
Of course if you spend enough time in the field you end up just reading the docs, more or less, because everybody ends up adapting craftsmen habits over time.
I don't disagree, but the fact that it's not required to border on expert, or be willing to put in the work to get there, of a framework or library you are going to be working heavily in a pretty broken thing about our industry. But you know, as people have been posting lately: not AI therefore irrelevant.
