 I do the more beginner oriented videos because I want to do them, I like to do them, I get satisfaction from the feedback I get from hobbyists and students and knowing that I'm helping people get into the hobby or field in an understandable manner that hopefully doesn't turn them off.

That's because you're old enough to remember the days of magazines etc that did in fact encourage beginner no matter what their age and professional experience elsewhere. The way most trained ppl treat newbies these days is dogshit.

In my experience in a large engineering organization the dominant difference between a good engineer and one you would be better off without is that the good ones not only realized they could learn something new, but were eager to learn new things.  The other class of engineers thought they already knew everything.

I'll bet something said on Dave's twitter caused some triggering.

That's just the (unfortunate?) fact of every forum, they are discussion forums. The only way to get around that is to currate info Wikipedia style. But they are two entirely different thing with different goals.

Yes, I also thought about the Wiki format, but actually, there are other options, something like Stackoverflow, still a discussion forum, but the most relevant posts appear first, and rated.

Stackexchange is useful for "which button do I use to floggle the widgeon in ObscureApp v1.3.2?" type questions. Or where a technician wants to copy and paste code into their application, without understanding it.

Stackexchange fails dismally where subtle points can and should be debated to and fro.

As a drive-by programmer, I've noticed you use stackex to get it working. You hang out in the prog sub forum here if you want to understand it.
