> It's like trying to learn painting by watching a series of videos in which you're taught which parts of canvas to paint what exact hue to recreate famous works of art I have some bad news for how artists traditionally learned how to paint. I agree with the overall thrust that only learning by copying with no theory behind it is bad, but the problem isn’t the copying it’s the lack of theory. A python flask how-to that also explains how flask works while doing the step by step process seems just fine to me.
