Maybe if they were willing to even touch the user manual or ask a question instead of just going "it's broke" we wouldn't blame them.

Common misconception. That's actually from the follow up book "read the fucking manual because if the answer is in there im gonna smack you" which didn't sell as well due to the long title.

There are morons on both sides. Some refuse to read, others refuse to provide information in a way that’s accessible without C.S. degree.

The average person is a moron. If a dev fails to provide information comprehensible to a moron, they are a moron, too.

Or at least say what's broke...

The worse people are the ones that generate most of the interactions, so every side is biased.
