I noticed that whenever I have documentation at the reach of my fingertips (Intellisense, awesome API docs), I'm not going through the effort of really reading the documentation and many times I start cargo-culting.
For instance ... if you need to read the Amazon AWS's docs, maybe you're better off searching for and using something like Boto. If the Boto API is too complex to memorize, maybe you're better off constructing a Facade around it that you can remember without going for the documentation every time you want to open an S3 bucket.
Just saying ... lack of easily accessible documentation leads people to do strange things :-)
