this is right way

StackOverflow is good for:

  • general questions (when you don't know where to look for) eg. how do I go about ...?

  • specific questions (when you know what you want, in simple english) eg. suggest ways I can ...?

  • quick fixes with more than one suggestion eg. I get this error, how to fix and please explain.

  • understanding concepts as different people explain concepts differently eg. what is ...?

Documentation is good for:

  • details (when you need to know more and when you really know what you need)

  • features (find a list when you want to know what else you can do with it)

I have too much confidence in myself

I count the number of items to get, and tell myself to remember the number, then I sometimes summon devil's help to recall the very last item at the store. Half probability of successfully remembering to get the items justifies not writing in the first place.
