subjective: I thought even Java had better docs than C#

I've found Microsoft documentation (Azure services specifically) to be a weird mix of marketing and semi-technical walkthroughs that seem targeted to point-and-click users following their happy path. As soon as you get to the technical reference (if you can find it) it seems to all be auto-generated and fairly poor quality, or handwritten and either out of date or just not very clear.

The more "core" Azure services are a bit better, but it seems to always be a struggle and searching for answers is always difficult because you have to scroll through a full page or more of Microsoft marketing pages before you reach either Reddit or stack exchange results with the answers you're looking for.

Weird example: recently I discovered Azure redis instances will drop idle connections after 10 minutes, but the network connection still stays open and your commands/queries will fail.

I think worst is an injury inducing stretch, but I'm not a fan of them personally.

This seems to be a problem with modern docs but I find they're overly verbose and the focus is hello world tutorials to show off shiny things & advertise Azure, the quality tends to drop off from there.

I think good documentation is something I want to have open on the side to answer questions like:

* What module did I need again?

* How do I do X?

* Does this tool let me do X?

I'm going to go straight to tailwind, MDN, GitHub etc. MS documentation I'm going to google first because I ain't got time to read through a half dozen long form articles that might give me an answer. ASP.net? probably, Azure anything? I'll leave more confused and thinking about AWS...
