Those short form programming videos perpetuate the parts of this industry I really dislike, particularly the "look you install the latest dependency and things go :rocketship: :rocketship:". They never convey much nuance and are just frankly uninteresting, unless you want to just have passing knowledge of things existing.

The tech is made to be addictive. You shouldn't let children use such a thing IMO.

Tutorial videos are demonstrably worse at education, but they are just much, much easier to produce than a well written step by step blog post.

Its because they have no net neutrality.
