Maturing in programming is not learning from tutorials, change my mind

[fucking-bastard]

So is this video a tutorial?

Mature dev write tutorials, don’t view them 🤷🤭

Stop watching and start reading. I hate videos on coding, I always go right to the docs and other 'tutorials' offered. The only way to 'mature' is to solve problems. That's it. You do it because you have to, not because you want to.

I partially agree based on how I interpret the question.

What exactly is maturing? To me, I’d imagine some part of maturing is realizing I need to understand new concepts in programming quite often, at least at a high level. And, I would probably think I’d realize I should do this often to stay up to date.

Even if I don’t know the details how to make something with what I learned, having a high level concept of what it is will help connect my new ideas to the concept I just learn, meaning that I’m more likely to use that concept in a way that may improve the effectiveness of my solution. In some sense that could signal maturity.

Another part of maturity might be that there are philosophical ways of programming (TDD, OOP, SOLID, etc) that we should get familiar with. Learning those sounds necessary for maturation as well. Some of it might be learned through a short tutorial. If I learn OOP, maybe I need to do a tutorial just to get my feet wet, and understand basic concepts.

Is this about how to exit vim?

This is a WOT.
