How do you learn new stuff: read blogs or watch videos?

I actually prefer to read articles and blog posts. I might just skim through or break it all down and digest the bits painstakingly. I feel like reading is more effective for me. The problem with video is that don't have the patience except it's a video less than 3 minutes.

Both ways are great! I personally always learn better by doing something, I find setting myself a challenging small project that requires a new skill can really help me figure out where my skills need to be improved and work on them as the project goes on. Usually find that it's easier the learn saying "how do I do this specific thing" instead of just general googling/reading/viewing for a skill.

Seeing it helps learn it, rather than reading it.

Usually through Podcasts or Audiobooks

it feels like a combo is best, videos are great for efficient big picture learning (e.g package overviews and broad explanations for implementation context) while documentation + blogs is more helpful for granular, this all in the context of DOING. Put to use for your own endgoal and the learning almost magically bears far more fruit

Depends what I'm doing, if it's a course I'm taking I like to have the books and the video material. However, if it's for some quick self learning on a topic, I prefer videos. Videos with examples of what's being explained help me understand the concept better, whereas from a book I may not be able to visualise how the concept is applied to the real world. Overall I find short videos easier to take in.

Depends on what you need to learn, if you need a tutorial then videos are easy ones rather than reading.

I mostly watch videos and listen to podcasts. Since I started my own podcast (wannabe-entrepreneur.com) I have been learning a lot by interviewing entrepreneurs :)

Both, but I prefer reading.

Both. But I have read blogs more than I have watched videos.
