  • I agree. If you’re starting something new and just want to get the gist of it, a video could definitely be helpful. Where I get frustrated is if I only want a reference for one or two specific things, and I have to skip through this 40 minute video to find the 2 sentences and code example I’m looking for.


  • I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels this way. Back 10-15 years ago I was learning JavaScript, Python, CSS etc and I saw people say “I learned programming from videos!” and was wtf, how? Maybe a video explanation could be okay, but trying to extract certain kinds of technical information from a video is maddening and takes 10x as long as getting it from text.
