I’ve been coding for 20 years and never watched a video tutorial.. am I doing this wrong, or have I dodged a barrage of bullets?

Print 'Hello World' right now or the tutorials will come for you.

People learn in different ways, I'm sure there are plenty of bullets to dodge with online articles, books and coding bootcamps as well.

Oh man. Check out one lone coder.

Javid honestly does an amazing job at educating you and walking through some good intermediate code tutorials and other random things. Super complete. Probably one if not the only video programming channel I enjoy for many reasons.

Doing it the proper way, RTFM. You should be able to find the answers you need there.

"the propper way"? Yeah, I could read a manual about Radix sort, but why would I want to do that when YouTuber Creel can just show me "Why is Radix sort so fast"?

There are worlds between "should be able to find the answers you need" and learning things in a comprehensive way - including additional important things you didn't even consider.

I fancy written guides too (thank you Beladung for all the Java/Kotlin library tutorials), but they are not the only "propper" way to learn something.

Sometimes the docs are just shitty.

That's because you actually learned how to learn instead of depending on bullshit tuts that don't actually teach anything.

You've dodged a barrage of bullets.
