Stop doing Coding Tutorials ... and why I stopped Making Them.

Learning fundamentals is more valuable than following framework-specific tutorials. With AI tools now available, mastering core programming concepts (estimated 200-350 hours) enables developers to quickly pick up any framework or library. Real learning comes from building complete projects from concept to deployment, not from tutorial consumption. Framework-specific knowledge becomes less critical when you understand underlying principles, and AI can fill knowledge gaps effectively when you have solid fundamentals.
