Good old Udemy Elixr/Pheonix courses being irrelevant within 6 months but still trying to con people by saying they're updated to current year.

Well. Yeah, if you want to learn the shiniest new features, you'll need the shiniest new references.

But for a new user, for whom Python is probably one of the first languages they learn, a 3.8 reference won't give them much trouble for a while.

I say this as a novice Python user tho.
