Tutorials are for getting quick bootstrap on the platform. If you want to learn how do something in production, there's usually a manual or official user guide in place.

But why would you want to bootstrap your knowledge on something detached from your actual use case?

Lots of people on HN bemoan the lack of formalised education and crappy code stitched together, but that's what half arsed tutorials and impenetrable documentation breed.
