Ever searched for a fix to a technical problem, only to get a 1,000 word essay on what the thing is? Yeah, me too.

You know the drill. You Google “how to fix a Git conflict”, and every result spends five paragraphs explaining what Git is.

Mate, I’m here because I already use Git. I don’t need a Wikipedia entry, I need the command that fixes my bloody merge.

It’s the same with every technical topic. SEO-stuffed filler drowning the one thing that actually matters — the answer.

Just give me the fix. That’s it. Please, stop explaining what things are.
