    This is how I, a developer with 25 years’ experience, still read many software tutorials. And I have a relatively high tolerance for technical detail. Often it seems the person writing the tutorial is in too deep, and they should have got a friend to write it with their help.

    I feel like there is no inbetween for tutorials. They ethier think you have only discovered computers and the internet today or that you know every programing language and have a CS PhD.

      Sometimes both in the same article!

      They’ll start by explaining what the internet is before descending into a dense conversation about how to use eBPF to do packet filtering and observability - just who is the audience that needs both halves of this?

      Here‘s the kicker: some folks don’t even question how cars work, how the lights work, how their microwave works, yet all ot them have tutorials.

      Now ask Annie what she thinks I should wear, and watch how those neurons fire up.

      I’m aware

      it’s satire.
      But this a matter of selective bias. Like, who actually reads the tutorials on how to wash your clothes, and sunglasses ftm.

      Jeez, RTFM loser. And don’t post again without including a full log, dump and stack trace that I’m not going to tell you how to create, or you’ll be banned. You’ll also be banned if you ask how to make those.
