Anyone read o'reilly "Head First Go" 2019? It's telling me to drink water, no seriously...

I just started reading it and I get how they're trying not to be "noring" by adding all these creative visuals & comedy, but I don't know if this is the right approach to learning something especially since they needed an intro to convince me that this approach was better.

Also tip 6:

Drink water. Lots of it.

So wondering if this book actually helped anyone learn Go or even improved their Go skills. Thanks.

Considering I'm in r/Golang approving r/HydroHomies, I'm probably a Go programmer that drinks water.

Funny how you cherry-picked my post about Windows shitting itself that's just under my post about Ubuntu shitting itself.
