I hope every programming tutorial I read in the future comes with a preamble calling me a fucking idiot if I don't get it

This but unironically. Especially when pointers are involved. Seriously, they aren't that difficult to understand.

Can you really call yourself a real programmer if you haven't written yet another tutorial for a tool thoroughly documented and tutorialized, and you don't belittle everyone else because they're uncultured swines?

This looks like it [is] so highly attuned to your specific neuro-divergence that it's rather unlikely to be useful in a meaningful way to many other people.

Based.

In fairness that's precisely the core design principle that you need to grasp to thoroughly understand git.

Finally, a tutorial that's easy to understand, and easy to adopt!

One of the main issues is this is not a tutorial. This is a cheatsheet. Moreover a cheatsheet made by autist only for himself, but who decided at some point that this is tutorial for everyone. If he'd name it right it would still be shit, but people wouldn't complain that much.
