How I, a non-developer, read the tutorial you, a developer, wrote for me, a beginner - annie's blog in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev

Imagine a chemistry lab tutorial aimed at 9th grade students getting "as a non-chemist, this reads as gibberish" comments from first graders. Nobody would blame the tutorial authors.

People need to start putting in the effort. There is no such thing as learning for free.

Fair enough. I hate YAML too, but I'm stuck with Python for now and Comby doesn't handle indentation too well (it's in their FAQ).
