    The selective illiteracy gets me: clearly, they can read each other’s messages. The text in an error message? Brain shuts off.

      tbf the text in error messages very often leads down a rabbit hole of barely relevant context, rather than to the shortest path to getting things to work as you expect them to. Or maybe they just don’t understand what the word “deprecated” means or implies.

        OTOH you learn a lot while in that rabbit hole, making the next time you research something a little bit easier.
