I'm with you 100% on technical instructional videos in general. It is absolutely the worst medium for the simple fact that you usually need to go back over the steps multiple times the first time you do something.
- mradamh 9y agoyes! my company gives all developers a pluralsight license but i find it basically useless. I spend half my time pausing and replaying video to follow along. so much more efficient to have it laied out in text.
- jandrese 9y agoAnother place where it came up, but probably on purpose was our annual security refresher course. In the old days this was basically a slide deck with a multiple choice quiz at the end. You could breeze through it in 10 minutes because the content was always the same and the questions were obvious. That was replaced by an unskippable video system where you have to sit through a full hour of people not emailing their passwords to phishers and remembering to lock their screen when they walk away from their desk. It's miserable.
