How I, a non-developer, read the tutorial you, a developer, wrote for me, a beginner - annie's blog (anniemueller.com)

I don’t want to make this a “gotcha”, but you say no xaml knowledge needed but then talk about it and have the reader touch them (mostly delete).

I only have them delete the XAML files. You don't need to know anything about what's inside a file to delete it 😂 Also, I only talk about the benefits of getting rid of them, which also doesn't require any knowledge of XAML.

You say you usually delete this xaml file but I don’t need to do that. Why?

No I don't! I say disabling implicit usings is optional, and do explain why I do it, then delete the XAML files. You seem to have conflated 2 successive paragraphs.

I thought I didn’t need to know xaml?

You don't. They're never used anywhere in the whole thing. We only delete the XAML files, then replace them with C#.

I read your entire tutorial.

Not very carefully apparently.
