      Well sometimes. Learning what deprecated means would probably have very broad usefulness. Learning the ins and outs of the library codebase that generated that error when you’re only going to make minor use of it once might not. There’s a practically infinite amount of things to learn and we all have finite time, attention, and space in our heads.
