> Tutorials often forget to mention some key detail, preventing readers from replicating the author’s process.

I also find this sometimes.

A high quality tutorial on the other hand, is often one where the author bothered to set up a fresh VM and follow their own guide step by step to confirm that everything works as described. This way the author avoids unintentionally forgetting to mention additional dependencies that have to be installed and additional config files that need to be tweaked in order for the steps to work.
