How annoying are video tutorials!!! You lose a lot of time trying to find the interesting point. If you jump over the video you will end losing the point and playing backwards...

    I always speed up video tutorials to twice the speed.

    Instead of watching video tutorials I would suggest you reading the documentation it's fast and better. you won't find any points until you actually practice that code. A good programmer is not the one who is always writing programmes without error, a good programmer is the one who debug the error the more error you'll solve the better you get.

    I used to start with video tutorials, it was useful because I could literally copy the person which is what helped me learn the basics.

    Then I moved on to written tutorials, which were useful because I knew the basics, I just didn't know how to program yet so I still needed a step to step guide.

    Now that I have some experience I only use official documentation as a reference... And a lot of DuckDuckGo.

    @Olverine I also speed up the video, usually between 1.5x and 2.5x depending on how fast the person talks.

    This is still bothersome to me though, with written documentation you can follow your own speed. Video tutorials honestly make me feel stressed.

    I also hate video tutorials. Why don't they use the great text format to make tutorials? Why do they abandon him 😩

    This is why I prefer text-based tutorials.

    That's why I gave up on video tutorials months ago. There are some cool presentations on some youtube channels but videos as a learning method are inefficient as fuck. It's just better to learn in an iterative process of reading and doing.

    Also, I'm taking programming courses on university and fuck these classes are slow.
