Blog tutorials, guides, programming books and youtube tutorials. They are completely irrelevant in a time where you have a personal tutor willing to explain every single detail of a subject.

Relevance is overrated. I've been writing for myself. Writing articles about the implementation of my programming language helps crystallize my knowledge. It's been remarkably effective at ensuring I won't simply forget the subject matter in the future. The fact other humans might enjoy reading my articles is just a nice bonus.
That's like saying your grandfather is irrelevant now that he's spawned children and grandchildren. Good luck to those personal tutors without this source material.
