> you’ll get tunnel-visioned instead of understanding the concept behind it

You might have gotten tunnel-visioned but it's not a problem I've suffered from when learning this way. And why do you think I cannot understand the concept behind the code after reading the code? If anything, I take the understanding I've grokked from that reference implementation and then compare it against other implementations. Compare usages. And then compare that back to the original docs. But usually I require reading the code before I understand what the docs are describing (maybe this is due my dyslexia?)

Remember when I said everyone's brain is wired differently? Well there's a lot of people today trying to tell me they understand how my brain works better than I understand it. Which is a little patronising tbh.
