   I think the desire to get immediate answers to your current problem, as opposed to developing a broader understanding of the tools you're working with, is part of what led to the LLM chatbot brainrot we're seeing these days.

   And I think practicing the skill of actually reading the manual start-to-finish removes some of that temptation, makes you less prone to being misled by some LLM, and is a tiny step towards making those AI companies have less power over people.

     I just read through https://learntla.com (all of Core and some of the Topics) in two days and...

     It was quite enjoyable.

     It's been a long time since I've read a tutorial or a manual start-to-finish and I forgot how much nicer it is, compared to learning only the pieces you immediately need, and never knowing what else is possible.

     You should try that too.
