For me, practical knowledge comes from trying to figure things out. The more polished and "ELI5" the material is, the less I retain. I've played with quite a few LLM tools that promised to help me "understand anything", but I don't think they help with intuition all that much. For what it's worth, it's not an LLM-specific problem. I like YouTube content like 3Blue1Brown, but I don't think that I retained anything useful from any of it.
I don't question that LLMs are useful for answering questions about codebases, but this is closer to "turn a codebase into a curriculum", and... does that actually work?
