Honest response:
Wonderful documentation is hard to beat from my learning perspective, but I find that level of quality is more rare.
Therefore, I learn better by watching something materialize on video at ~3x speed and often without any speaking.
I think it simply boils down to my level of trust that this person didn’t accidentally omit anything from their article or blog post or whatever and what I see on the screen is what I get. Now, that doesn’t fix when tools change etc, but videos instill a higher level of trust that, if I follow these steps, I will produce this output.
