I wanna preface this making something clear, I have probably never managed to follow a tutorial. I usually have an idea and try to run it. What I’m getting stuck at is precisely at the “what are my options”

I did say that I understand why docs expect you to be familiar with knowledge, I’m even complaining that I don’t need to read what something is a million times and sometimes I just need to get a solution to my problem.

My biggest issue here is lack of experience, but after two years in an IT education, I know some basics. I am familiar with countless topics and have a general idea of how things work in theory, but getting these ideas into a setup is what’s hard. Uni doesn’t help at all with this.

I think my problem is quite honestly the opposite of what you present, I need to know deeper knowledge than what’s enough and have trouble actually conceptualizing things that are presented as magic. For example, Docker presents itself as magic in most of the docs. Volumes, layers, and so much more are explained with how to make one and what to use them for rather than what they are. It might just be the way I memorize things is weird, or that I’m stuck with too little knowledge and way too deep.

I do mostly agree with your comment though, I just feel like I’m shit at explaining myself cause I’m clearly not getting my point across
