When i was trying to get my first Java/Spring programming job, i enjoyed watching experienced devs show you walking around their local environment while debugging local issues which helped a lot,

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).
