“Hello! I am a developer. Here is my relevant experience: I code in Hoobijag and sometimes jabbernocks and of course ABCDE++++ (but never ABCDE+/^+ are you kidding? ha!) and I like working with Shoobababoo and occasionally kleptomitrons. I’ve gotten to work for Company1 doing Shoobaboo-ing code things and that’s what led me to the Snarfus. So, let’s dive in!
Ok, I fixed the typo.
If they haven’t done X then they are a beginner at doing X - no difference - this is in fact the target audience for many tutorials. The other things which aren’t covered in the tutorial you put in the pre-requisites.
and yet, a lot of tutorials written for developers who have used 90% of it are written just as badly, hence the huge upvotes.
That’s the point! Many tutorials need to be written completely differently! 😂 For starters all of the ones at Microsoft.
That’s because the course has pre-requisites that you must have passed before you can enrol in that course - if you don’t, then you have to go study those things before you’ll be allowed to enrol - and they are explicitly spelt out in the guide to enrolling, hence the professor can write the lecture safe in the knowledge that all students in his class have completed all of the necessary pre-requisites.
I know it’s absolutely true. Even my threads on Maths are written with the assumption that the reader doesn’t know all of the background knowledge (in fact are written quite intentionally for those who are being bullied by gaslighters, and they lack the proof to debunk them).
