just wait and see

I have done a lot of programming tutorials and they all have one thing in common. They are all out of date the second they are released, not so much the content they are teaching, but the stuff the tutorials depend on for the actual code to work.

Today I was trying to do this tutorial and it turns out one of the files that were needed for it to compile got completely removed from Linux a few years back. So there  was no remedy to make this code work ever. That made me a bit sad. So I moved onto another tutorial but faced errors every step of the way.

I am giving up for the night and going to try again tomorrow with a fresh head.
