I always like to joke to people that if they want to learn something, anything at all, all they have to do is take a free class at YouTube university. I’ll have to add HN comments to my joke!

(And yes, as a former tech worker with no professional coding experience can vouch I’ve learned a TON here.)

Just make sure you don't mix them up, I don't wish learning from YouTube comments even on my worst enemies.

Although today, well, yeah you can pretty much learn anything online and with ebooks if you have the focus and drive.
