Programmer Junk Food (krishna.github.io)

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

Consuming this article feels like empty calories. Satisfying, but there's nothing there. It doesn't even define beyond a single example of "watching someone do a tutorial", what the author thinks constitutes "programmer junk food".

Is this about all youtube / stream content? Or about tutorials and tech's fascination with chasing new languages / paradigms over honing skills? Or specifically about a single niche of watching programmers do tutorials?
