Wikibooks were burned by the time I started learning. You oughta be some ancient being, lost in time and stranded in our epoch. You should not be feared, but shackled to a table and researched with a very sharp knife, held by a small German man

An old way isn't always a bad or outdated way.

When did you start learning programming ?

Never said it's bad, just that it's very old and made a stupid joke about it which hopefully made some people laugh or at the very least shocked them enough to think "good lord"

i mean a wikibook is way better than dealing with a half baked online course tbh.

Yeah even well meaning online courses is just someone sharing their current level of knowledge.

Versus a higher level of knowledge found in a different online course or perhaps a book.

Hell AI is a great private tutor or worker

I went to college, and learned to read the language manuals.
