When I studied in Ulaan Bataar I met a professor of linguistics from eastern Europe. Before he came to Mongolia he studied a grammar book of mongolian and tried to teach himself. He was rather proud of how far he had come.

At the first lesson he realised that the characters he thought he knew how to pronounce didn't sound much like he was used to. Mongolian is generally written with cyrillic plus a few more characters, so he expected it to be like russian or bulgarian with a few more sounds.

This is not the case. Mongolian is much closer related to korean and tibetan, and commonly sounds something like drunk cats haggling over something deceased.

I find it to be roughly the same with introductory or otherwise shallow learning material about programming. You can read as many tutorials as you want, you'll still suck at it.

When the LLM:s invent books like SICP, The Art of Computer Programming, Purely Functional Data Structures, Gang of Four, then they might become tutors in this area. To me it seems they struggle hard with anything longer than a screenful.
