In a similar vein, some days I feel like a human link generator into e.g. postgres or kafka documentation. When docs are that clear, refined, and just damn good but it seems like nobody is willing to actually read them closely enough to "get it" it's just a very depressing and demotivating experience. If I could never again have to explain what a transaction isolation level is or why calling kafka a "queue" makes no sense at all I'd probably live an extra decade.

At the root of it, there's a profound arrogance in putting someone else in a position where they are compelled to tell you you're wrong[1]. Curious, careful people don't do this very often because they are aware of the limits of their knowledge and when they don't know something they go find it out. Unfortunately this is surprisingly rare.

[1] to be clear, I'm speaking here as someone who has been guilty of this before, now regrets it, and hopes to never do it again.
