Just want to thank everyone that engaged with my post today everyone was so chill and inspiring. I want to encourage us all in this community and all over Lemmy to continue to be kind and helpful. I had so many bad experiences on Reddit with hate keepers and know it alls and I’m glad we got this opportunity to be something better.

Ps: what cad software did you start on and what do you use now? Any tips and tricks will be greatly appreciated!

some of the other guys who go at a lightening fast pace

This drives me nuts on a lot of "tutorials". Not just for CAD but for anything on YouTube. The presenter will launch into a massive word vomit, jumping from step to step, with barely a breath in between. They'll have half the thing done and I'm still trying to figure out which side of my mouse I'm supposed to grab. And FSM help me if the idiot behind the camera opens a copy of notepad and starts typing instructions instead of speaking....

There’s a ton of content out there for everything but a huge difference between being a teacher vs being an expert. People think it’s easy, just make a video of me doing something, but instruction is much more than that.
