2) I've watched some Godot tutorials and some video essays on game design. I've messed around with the engine on my own a little. I don't want to fall into tutorial hell like when I tried to learn Blender.

I also recently made a simple little version of Keepy Uppy using Tic80 which was a great experience. I had to luck up a few functions, but it felt good to finish something. Now I'm going to try and make it again in Godot, but up the complexity.

What's a new skill you picked up recently to combat #brainrot ?

"brain rot
(n.) the supposed deterioration of a person’s mental or intellectual state, especially viewed as the result of overconsumption of material (now particularly online content) considered to be trivial or unchallenging. Also: something characterized as likely to lead to such deterioration."
(Oxford Dictionary).

This was word of the year in 2024.[1] Now in 2025 with more and more #GenAI assisted tasks, this becomes even worse, as a study suggests.[2]

It is not surprising; in tech we know something called #TutorialHell which discribes the state where you just follow along tutorials believing that you are learning somehting, but as soon as you need to solve a problem yourself, you realize that even after hours of tutorials you can't, because you actually never learned anything, even though you did everything by the letter.

I realized in ~2016, that I've been working in tech for over 10 years, and being so into it, that even for non-tech tasks I would think like I would when programming something and be even surprised if others did not. That was the moment, where I feared becoming what in Germany we call #Fachidiot (i.e. a one-track genious, that's an idiot in everything else).

To combat this, I picked up #日本語 (#Japanese). Just because I found it a real hard challenge. I think, doing something like this is essential: Learn something new, you've never done: a language, an instrument, a motor skill, or - if that is not your field - programming. Important is, that it get's you into doing something completely new, to animate your brain. Because, as it is well known: The brain works like a muscle: The more you use it, the better your mental and intellectual state gets - the less you use it, the more it deteriorates. And with the temptations of our modern world ( #socialmedia #GenAI #workoverload #populism #shorts #doomscrolling etc.) this has become more important than ever.

Anyone here successfully learned #programming outside of a college setting and landed a job from it.

I'm struggling trying to figure where to go next and thinking of programming but lost in #tutorialhell tbh

Escribí una entrada en mi blog sobre el "Tutorial hell" y el aprendizaje de música. ¿Te ha pasado o conoces alguien a quien le haya pasado algo como esto?

El Tutorial Hell existe también para aprender música

si estás aprendiendo a tocar guitarra o ukulele con videos y no puedes avanzar quizá hayas caído en el tutorial hell.
