Switched from watching tutorials to reading documentation last week
I used to spend hours on YouTube watching coding tutorials for beginners, but after a 30 minute video left me more confused than when I started, I tried reading the official Python docs instead. That first afternoon I figured out a loop structure in 10 minutes flat that a tutorial had spent 45 minutes overcomplicating. Has anyone else had better luck with docs over videos for learning the basics?

@ninal91 I mean it's just reading words. Not exactly a life changing breakthrough.

Oh man, I was totally the opposite for a long time... I thought videos were the only way to learn because they walk you through everything step by step. But then I tried reading the docs for a simple file handling task and it clicked way faster. The docs just tell you what you need without all the extra talking and clicks.
