imo, these videos are not of much help. books, docs and articles. that's what teaches me. spikes, experiments i do to apply what i learnt. navigating between sites, docs, stackoverflow. videos like these are not that help, but which are and are free to watch have less than 1k views. i might be biased and wrong, but these waste time.

i am learning rust by reading docs. and it's teaching me so much. i was very fascinated when it gave me a hint about monomorphization. i went a bit deep and it was such a fascinating subject. would a video like these give me a slight hint of something like this and even if they do, they won't cover it.

the issue with these is lets say theres new framework now you have to wait for this guy to upload. the ability to navigate the docs by yourself. that skill is quite important and these take that away. now you are dependent on this guy, these videos. somebody should have already done it.

idk that what i felt. navigating docs is such a vital skill. esp for me. i struggled, it felt daunting 2 years back. but now docs are my way to go. docs of any framework, technology. i do not feel uncomfortable. and still i try to write each letter by my hand. and only copy which i have already written, that too rarely, if so i already knew it needs to dry and i do it asap.

learning the techniques is essential, how to use a tool you can always visit it's manual, but sadly these teaches tools and not techniques...

If these videos were truly not helpful, their YouTube channel wouldn’t have 1.7mil subscribers.
