As long as you know enough to get started on <project>, then you can just look things up as you get stuck.
There is an element of "you don't know what you don't know" when you're new to some stuff, but as you gain experience, the effect is less.
But yea after you get familiar with your major tools, terminal, IDE, etc, i don't think viewing is a better experience. I still think a lot of tools that are extremely complex with tons of features, Intellij, AWS, it helps to see an experienced power user show you all the shortcuts/how they navigate.
Nowadays, when experimenting with a new tool, usually documentation and get-started-guides are most beneficial for me (text based not videos).
But that only applies if one is the sort of person that would get said enjoyment out of it.
In the general case, where one doesn’t get that, idk.
