This is so cool, but the youtube link really sucks as it just points to a search. It would be so much stronger if it pointed to a single video vetted by the author of the page so I know what I'm watching demonstrates the principle in question properly.

Yeah, it's very inconsiderate. Let's say I'm a total beginner (which is why I'm reading this guide, right). How could I know which tutorial is good?

Thanks. I added the search because that's what ppl do anyway. But this way the search is with some keywords that hopefully is helping.

Thanks for the feedback. This is on the list. Im looking into that. I can't and won't myself. I'd like to find someone that shows this consistently.

I should prop inform better that this is a search.

No, the search is completely an utterly meaningless and annoying. It doesn't matter how well-informed the user is when they click that button, it will become clear that it's useless once they click it. The solution - remove the button.

Better solution: don't be the kind of person that builds AI slop and has people waste their time on it - especially if you don't have the UX skills to know what is good in a product yourself.
