Today I had the pleasure of trying to search for how to shift a chartjs array and finally had to try and watch a “tutorial video” where they allegedly discussed it.
Cut to me clicking around just trying to find the screenshot where they are actually doing the thing that I want to do, and then they proceed to fuck up its usage three times with much scrolling back and forth through their example code that they didn’t show in full anywhere and rapidly clicking between windows while they got their shit together.
I loaded the video, paused, jump jump jump jump jumped through the timeline looking at the thumbnail images, about 5 seconds of actual playback while I watched them mess it up, more minor adjustments in the timeline, paused for 15 seconds at the thing I actually wanted, closed the video.
Good luck getting any kind of decent metrics out of that.
I can skim documents at 800 words a minute, they are mostly nicely arranged and indexed/sectioned. Compare that to videos where half the words are “um, so”, and it’s no wonder I prefer text.
And if you want to look at some lines before you can use your eyes to literally just look there. Instead of fiddling with the stupid -10 seconds button.

I just wanted to see like, three lines of code.
Maybe I should have just asked chatgpt.
The most infuriating is it’s probably intentional. You did spend more time on their video now didn’t you?
