Consuming this article feels like empty calories. Satisfying, but there&#x27;s nothing there. It doesn&#x27;t even define beyond a single example of &quot;watching someone do a tutorial&quot;, what the author thinks constitutes &quot;programmer junk food&quot;.<p>Is this about all youtube &#x2F; stream content? Or about tutorials and tech&#x27;s fascination with chasing new languages &#x2F; paradigms over honing skills? Or specifically about a single niche of watching programmers do tutorials?

Reading blogs about functional programming when you should be learning assembly language and FORTRAN instead?
