Am I the only person who learned nextjs without their docs?

I learned nextjs without the docs, by watching one youtube video and looking at others code. I also learned react on freecodecamp which made it relatively easy to learn nextjs. What do you think I should've done?

I didn't really look at the docs either, but to be fair, Next.js is mainly a combination of React.js for the client and Node.js for the server, so as long as you know both of those you should be able to figure out Next.js pretty quickly and easily.

I mean as long as you get the framework and you’re going to remember it long-term it should be fine.
It would be a good idea to check out the docs once tho.
