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.
If you need to go back and review it videos suck. But for getting introduced to it the first time they’re good. Udemy and other companies are just that. They also let you have text to review afterwards and even little quizzes.

hard agree. I never have learned anything from a video in terms of software development… now working on my car on the other hand… many times over
