    Ahh, or just reading the changelog…

    It wasn’t 8 hours for me, but the last Nimbus skin of Kodi broke some ratings due their recent API upgrade or something like that… I was doing all kinds of troubleshooting, but the solution was stated in the changelog… Just clean up ratings cache 😃

    I was just trying to figure out what attributes I could pass to a component to modify the ui without having to custom jobby it.

    The docs simply showed an example of its most basic use case and a link to the original library they got the component off that they modified… The docs on that link also just show an example of it’s most basic use case…

    They didn’t list all the possible things you could pass it anywhere.

      Honestly as someone who partakes in some cyber security challenges for fun, there are plenty of weird things that programmers or doc writers never ever consider but other times the docs are so barebones that it is worthless to read. And a high word count does not always mean the doc is useful when all the text is either ai generated slop, or a lot of high level ideations that don’t get into how to work it.

    I can’t browse lemmy or play phone games while I read docs, but I can while I wait for the program to compile, load itself into a docker container, deploy to the test server, load my browser, and then fail to have fixed that bug I was looking at. Oh well, let me change one character and try again, it only takes about 15 minutes per attempt.

    My work doesn’t really have any documentation so the way I find out how to do something is by Cmd+Shift+Fing the code for relevant things
