When trying to learn how to implement something, or fix an issue you have, and you end up in the documentation: Read the documentation page for the thing you found. All of it.

I know there is a lot of stuff you do not know, and it can be truly overwhelming to try to stop, and read for 20 minutes when your parsing might get you the answer you want in 1. But you will learn a lot more, and you will start running into issues less and less frequently.

In the long run, it will genuinely save you time, and you will understand the tools you are working with much more deeply.
