I would say that the real help lies in between. You don&#x27;t go out of your way to explain something that is explained somewhere else already. But, you can go out of your way to show the person where it is explained or even what to search for. Researching a problem on the internet is a skill that needs to be learned; a meta-skill, if you will. Whenever a developer has told me in the past to RTFM, aside from the rudeness of this abbreviation, it really is no help. If they gently said, &quot;the API docs for the UIViewController class, which are located &lt;here&gt;, shows the function in question, and how it is used.&quot; etc.
