So only good tutorials/ guides are allowed?
How does one get from shitty to good if they can't try to begin with?
Does this apply to other things, like coding, as well?
Back in my day, there were no guides; except for books that had to be bought or borrowed, one learned by hacking code until it worked or, better yet, had a helpful person in the same room give tips.
After the internet came into being, there started to be guides, at first many were ok. Then people realized they could write slop and make money or get internet points or credit. So now here we are, today, with many horrible tutorials, some middling, some good ones, about to be buried by AI
Yes.
We absolutely should.
