I have never learned anything useful at my office-desk-job work from training videos, but almost all my handy homeowner knowledge is from videos. It's a very useful format for physical tasks that are hard to communicate.
- asdfman123 3y agoI used to be all about text and reading, but YouTube has gotten so niche and good that I learn a lot from YT videos. Recently there was a conversation on HN about concrete and I could actually see people get some details about the process wrong, meaning I somehow have a slight level of concrete knowledge by accident.
- analognoise 3y agoLike "I know Kung Fu" from the Matrix, but about absorbing concrete knowledge? I've never thought about house projects where I consult YouTube (which is constantly) in that way, and now I'm going to tell my (bewildered) wife I know Kung Fu every time I have to pull a toilet or caulk a sink. Thanks for this connection, stranger.
