It works great if you're starting from 0 - you see every keystroke, you get hours of background information you may or may not need. It's dumping the entire process from start to finish on you. You can follow along, understanding what you can and copying what you don't
And then slowly, more and more of the excess information is just things you already know. Now you're looking at a 40 minute video that may or may not have one sentence of information you're searching for, the entire thing explaining it to you like you're a total newbie
It makes me want to pull out my hair
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.
Some YouTube videos have auto-generated transcripts, maybe you can search those if it's a YouTube video?
Good idea. That's true now, but personally most of my experience needing programming info was several years ago.
