Ask HN: Do people read tech how-tos blog in 2020
With YouTube becoming the next big thing and there's ton of content to learn about. I just want to know if people still read tech blogs?
- sdwolfz 6y agoReading is faster than video watching, at least for me, so yes! Some things are better explained visually though, for example when I started learning flash in highschool I watched video tutorials because I needed to learn the UI, and learn how to do visual stuff. Also when I started learning java in uni I watched one of those java in 1 hour on YouTube because I needed to see with my eyes how a "real" programmer codes, what tools they use, how things should be layer out, where the buttons are, and things like this. But after that I stopped and used written text exclusively, first giant books, then blogs and stack overflow of precise problems. I don't necessarily intend to go to how-to blogs, it's just that they are the ones that pop up when I search things. Even started my own with things that I don't want to forget.
