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.
