Okay, this has to be said.

I am sick and tired of YouTube web devs who went to bootcamp, developed software for around 1 year, quit… then tell everybody what it’s like to be a “programmer.”

To top it off they become “developer advocates.”

Stop misleading people with your clickbait!

    "Advocate", read as: they couldnt hack it so they became a histrionic busy body.

    @Wisecrack Yep, I see these “advocates” and their TikTok-like videos on the latest tool. It’s kinda weird.

    Just downvote the crap and enjoy the good videos about actual computer science.

    @Oktokolo Good call! But I’m sure the folks looking to get into this industry to earn $300k after a two-week bootcamp will cancel my efforts.

    It’s why these content clowns do it.

    @BinaryRage Yeah, maybe. But you won't get that crap recommended anymore. And that should matter most.

    I am a YouTube web dev and I totally agree.

    I spent 5+ years with Laravel and Shopify and only then decided that I have enough experience to put out videos for everyone to see.

    The only devs channel I watch:

    Dave's Garage (includes anecdotes about his work at MS working on MSDOS, NT, etc)

    Fireship

    The Net Ninja

    Channels to avoid:

    Joma

    The Tech Lead

    @fruitfcker I find Joma amusing I have to admit, and as for Tech Lead - this guy clear is spewing a ton of bs that he makes sound totally legit to the uninitiated. He does leave me in tears of laughter.

    Will check out your other suggestions.

    @bigmonsterlover “will ChatGPT take your job?”, “this is my dev setup”, “top languages to learn in <insert year>”…

    It truly is nauseating as you say.

    @Sid2006 good, glad you did the time before posting on YouTube as opposed to some of these idiot “I built a todo app in React, that makes me a senior!”
