In the homeassistant ecosystem most tutorials are youtube videos. I don't like it to much, but it works mostly. I guess thats the new way of doing it.



Ugh video tutorials are the worst. Nothing like wasting 5 minutes watching a video that turns out to not even have the info you’re looking for.


The only thing worse than video tutorials are what they do to your YouTube recommendations.

I absolutely hate both with a passion, but having mentored a fair number of junior developers I respect that some people benefit from them.

It's the same thing with podcasts and audiobooks- I'm the type of person who is fully tuned in, or I am tuned out. Listening to either while driving is completely pointless for me.

Long live text!

Agreed. But not only that, it is far easier to refer to an earlier point if it's in print, whether dead tree or electronic.
