Video killed the documentation star
Category: Lifestyle
Ever notice how tech videos make your mind wander? I added Aria Salvatrice to my blogroll and its post Video Tutorials Considered Harmful really resonated. I argue why video vs written documentation matters, how neurodiversity and learning styles make videos worse for technical topics, when edited tutorials help, and why searchable written documentation wins.
Rolly's Take
For those who find comfort in the stability of written words, this blog resonates deeply, speaking to the quiet struggles of neurodiverse minds navigating an ocean of distracting video content. It captures the frustration of trying to learn in a world increasingly dominated by fleeting visuals, and it invites reflection on how we consume information in technical realms. The kind of person drawn here is someone who values clarity over chaos and understands that the art of documentation is not merely a craft but a lifeline for focused learning. Here, you'll find an exploration that challenges conventional norms, embracing the subtleties of communication with a thoughtful, discerning eye.
