I do agree that reading the docs is a good practice. However, IMHO, the best thing you can do is to learn and practice what you are doing! You don't want to be the copy and paste doc reader, totally opposite, you must be a read and learn kind. Also, keep in mind that manuals are guides, not solutions.

Yes, I agree and I think this goes without saying. It's always best to get hands on and create/break/fix. I do not encourage copy and pasting but that isn't really a docs thing, that is more of a overstack thing. This is aimed more for those who have a habit of assuming them know how it works, and it's just a solution to avoid wasting countless hours.
