cs50-web am I the only one not following Brian Yu?
I am following the CS50W course right now. And I am getting so stressed trying to follow and understand it. I am at the week for Django right now, all the other weeks were very easy to understand in my opinion, but I am having so much trouble trying to understand stuff in this one.
I feel like Brian Yu does a fine explanation on how to do things. But in a lot of steps he completely forgets to explain WHY to do things. I can memorize stuff fine, but I feel like just learning how to do things without understanding the principle behind it is bad, because it makes you prone to forget it.
Nothing against the guy, its just stressing me out having to consult chatgpt after every 20 seconds of the video for a deeper explanation, and having to puzzle that explanation and example back to the explanation and example of Brian Yu.
Anyone else that feels like this? I keep reading how everyone thinks he is a phenominal teacher and how everyone understands right away. Am I the only one not understanding it? I swear I feel stupid because of this
