I'm not sure any of us can. It's evolving so quickly. And I'd say this is where contributing to docs is also helpful (at least for me) since you see most of the improvements coming in and can learn from testing them.

This is a pity. We need you to report us what looks frightening complicated in the process otherwise it'll be hard for us to remove that barrier. And we are looking for feedback to allow newcomers. Are you aware of https://docs.qgis.org/3.4/en/docs/documentation_guidelines/first_contribution.html?
