> the author is building as most people do when they first pick up the tool > But just like any repetitive process with computers, learning how to properly use your tool, patterns, finishing touches make a world of a difference. I agree that's what the author is doing, but as a reader, the reason I want to read about their process is so that I can learn how to properly learn the tool at hand. I want to learn from their mistakes, and take advantage of what they have learned. So when the author learned something useful—texture your windows, before copying them, so you don't need to texture each individual one—that's great! But the workflow the describe didn't do that. Why learn something, and then teach people the wrong way? I'll admit, I have an issue on the whole with "I did this thing once, and now I'll use that to teach other people", but even ignoring that: if you're going to teach people, teach them the right way, don't teach them the wrong way, and then at the end slip in an "oh yeah this isn't a good way to go about this, you should have done something differently a few steps ago instead."
