There lies the issue. Installing the latest version of everything for a newly published tutorial, or one that is a few months old, you'll typically get the experience you'd expect.

But trying to follow along to a tutorial that is old and asks you to install latest version of anything likely means that you won't get far.

As someone that's written many tutorials, I've been guilty of using "latest" but have been much more proactive here to call out specific versions used at the top of my articles. Nothing worse than getting through half a tutorial to find out something has completely changed.
