I get people that make tutorials for “content” even if they suck at their job, but I CANNOT get over video tutorials where someone gets completely lost and doesn’t cut it out of the video.
Anyways we’ll go here-oh there’s an error. Uhm. Maybe we can do this? That didn’t work. Maybe that? Hang on, maybe it’s in preferences? Oh, it’s in tools, no, wait, oh I just wrote the name wrong
Would it kill you to edit that out and stop wasting my time?!
To me in most cases it’s the opposite. I don’t watch video tutorials to solve a specific problem (sorry, Roal Van de Paar!), but to get into something. And therefore I prefer to see the problem solving in between and the workflow for that activity. If it really tends to waste my time, I just skip forward.

At the same time, that is part of the developer experience, so the tutorial is still accurate
