100% agree. If you read this entire thing, you don't end up with anything close to the skills needed to cook a meal. You could watch a five minute cooking tutorial or just make a simple recipe instead, and then you'd have something to show for it, plus you'd have learned something about cooking.
YouTube channels were helpful for me... That's it

Always appreciate these thoughtful critiques on HN :)
The blog post is a 3,500 word advertisement to Amazon affiliation links. A selection of "helpful" advice given in the post:
- How to chop food? "Just search them on YouTube"
- "When you are first learning to cook I recommend avoiding complex recipes"
- "Get cooking"
Finally: "The goal of this post is [..] to provide fairly comprehensive [..] roadmap for going from a cooking noob to solid home chef." Sorry. This is not it.
[^] Alternatively, the title might be interpreted to mean "Cooking for founders [who are visiting you]". This is also not the case.
