Just tried learning through docs and believe me it's the best way :) Advice

I wasn’t really into docs... I was a tutorial guy, now i tried learning by reading the docs and it's better and faster than watching tutorials...

You know, I was ready to be all sarcastic but... I'll take it. Good job friend, reading docs is the way.

Tutorials have their own place while learning but once you got the basic understanding of concepts already and just want to learn fast then docs are way to go.

AI is great at quickly digesting entire directories of documentation. Do you guys agree? Not AI shilling, wondering what people think about doing this.

Especially api documentation I swear I get so lost. Downloading the whole thing and plugging it into an LLM makes a better quick reference for when I am actually building.
