A non-developer tries to follow a developer’s tutorial full of jargon and confusing instructions, illustrating how difficult such guides can be for beginners.

Why it matters: Tutorials written for experienced developers often alienate beginners, making learning frustrating and slow.

The big picture: Most developer docs target peers, not novices, so structured learning materials are needed to bridge the gap.

The other side: Detailed tutorials benefit advanced users, but beginners require simpler, clearer explanations and more context.

Commenters say: Readers share stories of struggle with complex tutorials, emphasizing the need for clearer communication and beginner-friendly teaching.
