Good points man... **Slowly moves my Top 2020 Languages script into trashbin...** Haha, no, in all seriousness, definitely good points. It is a lot of responsibility and people who create content should keep that in mind before creating a clickbait title for views. Hell, I’ve had people write me about career advice and literally write “I’ll do whatever you think is the right move”. I always try to emphasize to take any advice I give with a grain of salt because everyone is different. I mostly enjoy writing backend Python, but that’s me. Someone else might love front-end JavaScript, or creating desktop GUIs, or updating legacy FORTRAN code... maybe programming isn’t even what they’d enjoy most and should approach something different altogether. Anyways, good points and great advice. Keep up the great work!

[@TheNerdyDev]

Yeah it does take a lot of effort to come up with quality content and then managing time with freelancing or job. I started my channel 3 months back and yeah that really demotivates junior devs who are taking those bootcamps, when they see a video highlighting a particular technology that they are putting their soul into is a garbage, really will piss them off and even those who start professional coding at later stages of their life maybe at 36-37 when they write their first line of code and then they see such a video stating that what you are learning is a garbage, it really makes the learner highly depressed and even demotivated to really continue and make an impact. Hats off to you, @TraversyMedia, @TheNetNinja and many others, you all are changing countless lives and bringing a rising sun in the lives of those people who are at tough spot. I too have joined the league and do my best to make some impact on this front as well. Thanks a lot for this video

[@TraversyMedia]

Exactly. That is my first thought when I see a video title like that.

[@TheNerdyDev]

​@@TraversyMedia Indeed, one of my acquaintances lives in USA, he feels a bit depressed because he has a family to feed and he is not earning at the moment, because he had an Arts background then he went into professional development (full stack). At the age of 35, he started learning HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and he feels a bit depressed at times because of the imposter syndrome, just because he started late ofcourse there is no right age to start coding. Any one can do it just need immense dedication and courage to continue and persist. And if such kind of videos comes in front of their eyes, that is really not motivating. When you or for that matter any content creator put some content, learners acknowledge that, it makes them feel that there is someone that is serving as a source of motivation that they can achieve what they want. Our goal as a content creator should be to motivate people rather than discouraging them that this or that piece of stuff that you are doing is shit and all.

[@DesignCourse]

My 2 cents: I follow guitar youtubers, bodybuilding/fitness youtubers and even a bit of the arm wrestling youtube community. In each of these niches, you have creators who you can categorize as being serious, boring, comedic, negative, etc.. What's great about KZbin is that we have a feedback system in place, through commenting, subscribing and liking/disliking. Not only that, feedback is generated by other creators addressing each other (like this video). In guitar, the current drama is based on "Rob Chapman" (do a search on youtube). In fitness, the current drama is "KENNY KO Calum Von Moger" In each of these situations, there's someone who did or said some stupid things, and the community overwhelmingly spotted it, addressed it, and I guarantee you -- made that person reexamine their approach. So, go ahead and produce stupid content, there's a good chance people are going to think you're stupid for doing so. Edit: In our niche, we have TechLead as an example -- But also an even more extreme example is Siraj Raval. My god, I can't still believe he uploads. Every video he uploads he's being decimated in the comments. 😂

It's so important to think for yourself and compare ideas to make sure they are valid, especially on this platform where everybody has a voice.

[@markosfekadu7314]

What ever they said Brad you are the reason behind every success of mine. You are brightening light for those of us like me. Thank u brother.

[@noinfo9941]

Techlead, chris hawkes to mention a few, 🤦

[@ivanbarta2821]

I believe that in the case of Chris Hawkes this is no strategy, but his nature. I like him although he sometimes laments :-)

Joshua Fluke next week: Why working is cringe.

[@laurenc180]

lol

[@codeshah9570]

Can't just appreciate enough you bringing this topic up which really matters for beginners some creators are just content hungry and I think they should take people as people then numbers. Thanks A slot and I'm gonna stick to this channel now. Thanks again

[@kevinduck3714]

Brad has the best perspective about this stuff from anyone I've seen in a decade working in software. I wish everyone could have this mindset of staying positive and just avoiding trashing people/ projects/ tech/ whatever. You get a lot more work done that way.

[@Pyraptor]

TechLead is just making troll videos and everyone is catching the bait lol

[@danielli3288]

chris hawkes has a video of why we should ditch react

[@TraversyMedia]

Daniel Li i know. I told him I didn’t agree but I still like Chris and know he wants to help people and is not just about ad revenue and sales

[@lardosian]

He was just having a grumpy day and took it out on React!!

[@Shad1991]

@@TraversyMedia Yh agreed Chris is a very real guy....does alot of good content

[@realchrishawkes]

Thank you, I didn't say React was a piece of shit lol. I have been a proponent for react for years, including after that video. I was just grumpy. That video was just heart felt, want to do something different after 5 years of react day to day. I did end up making a project in lit-html/lit-element and went right back to react. My latest web project uses neither. I didn't think that video would get so many views, I was just trying to keep my schedule.

[@h4X0r99221]

I subscribed when I watched one of your videos immediately, since I could tell right away that you're a serious person with educational content and neutral perspective on all of this confusing industry. This videos just further prooves it. After watching your videos on topics, I always have a solid base to further investigate on the them and decide wich option is the best for me. About the top 10 videos I agree partly, but I kinda like to have current state of the industry and see what's trending and gaining traction.

[@radwancharfi7829]

I've never seen someone as honest as this teacher ! , I wish I Knew this priceless advise earlier in my life , you deserve all the best .

[@Shad1991]

TechLead is a very selfish guy...he cares zero about people viewing his content..no sense of morality at all...

[@Corythehausbaus]

Yea he is, a classic example of a selfish guy in tech

[@jsiszero]

Just your typical tech lead in a team.... lol

[@fortnitebasecamp6343]

Especially when he’s sarcastic and noobs wouldn’t be able to tell with how he talks

[@akito_yuki309]

since when techlead in the world not selfish ? they will give short deadline with big project

[@dhirajgawande007]

Never cared about the instagram and youtube influencers😂😂

[@TraversyMedia]

I don't think most do, but some people watch others religiously and take everything the say to heart

[@thesemicolon1971]

The worst thing is some are influenced by tiktokers 😂

[@iambrandon7280]

And .. this is why I subscribed to this channel. Humility and self reflection are hard to find in the software dev world. Thank you!

[@carolpack4103]

Your a hoot BRAD! Thank you for the in-sight. just because the '"name" of a tech firm sounds LEGIT...does not make it so. LOST 2 COMP. THINKING AND BELIEVING THEY KNEW their shat! I JUST WISH YOU WERE UP AND RUNNING YOUR OWN WELL OILED MACH. MINE WOULD HAVE been spared. ty again,YOU HAVE ALWAYS A FAN IN ME!

[@AindriuMacGiollaEoin]

He got fired twice

[@BlobBlobkins]

who?

[@angelmarie2281]

Techlead?

[@ninjatribble7961]

I get what you're saying but I watch the tech lead as more of a comedy channel than anything else. I don't think he's supposed to be taken seriously? He sells t-shirts that say 'All code is garbage'!

[@StevenErickson7]

Thank you for putting out this video. What you have done is shown your value over theirs. Your video have substance and you are true to your mission, helping people learn a new skill. Those who put out videos for clicks are doing it for ad revenue.

[@arkhamxdarkseid1249]

I really love your videos and how straight up and honest you are. Thank you and keep up the great work.

[@sherribooher7930]

Preach it, Brad! I always say "You get out what you put in!" Thank you for putting this out there.

[@aangGAD]

I watched your vuejs crash course, and that help a lot to introduce me to this technology, now I'm using it on my work projects. Thank you. I appreciate the people who shares content like you. Researching for the best, teaching the best as they can to help other people in the right way. God bless you.

[@webdevessentials]

Everytime anyone tells me that they want to start web development, I always recommend your channel and courses.

[@oluwalonirichardsodeinde1842]

At this point i can tell my kids that brad was like 'clark kent' in technology. Youre amazing brad , youve transitioned a lot of lives and your legacy is already here, i totally respect your vie w and i love you man! Don't for once ever think of quitting this. Thanks for always only GOD can pay you enough and i pray that HE shall bless you beyond your own imagination IN JESUS NAME.

[@jaroslavhuss7813]

Father Brad... Wise, courageous and always warm-hearted... Thank you for making us, programmers, better people...

[@dokwme1211]

Brad you have changed from life from a novice programmer to an pro ui Dev, you’re correct I was also influenced by tech-lead later realising how much negativity he Carries. I have immense respect for what you do and how grounded you’re as a human.

[@tyfoodsforthought]

You're awesome for making this video. Especially since, like you said, you don't like to talk about others in a negative context. People need to hear this, it's important. Thank you! Ben Awad made a video called "Why React Native is NOT garbage" that realistically takes on all the points in the TechLeads video. Highly recommend watching it!

[@CoderFoundry]

We're 100% with you on this! We should be keeping this space positive and not feeding the negative trolls. There has never been a better time to learn to code. Yes, we prefer and advocate a certain stack, but we're all about helping people to break in wherever they can.

[@beverlymontgomery9105]

It's not all positive out there. It's all good to make a "negative" content. The purpose is to share these experiences to as many as possible to prevent/avoid bad things to happen and to raise awareness. Why can't we just appreciate the content regardless if it's positive or negative? There is always something you can learn even from the "negative" content, if you just keep an open mind.

[@CoderFoundry]

@@beverlymontgomery9105 It's different to have a negative opinion of something in order to assist someone in making an informed decision and just being a negative troll. I may say a scammy MLM scheme is trash as it takes advantage of someone, but I wouldn't say Node is trash because I prefer .net. At the end of the day, it's all opinions and we prefer to showcase the positive in the world of development.
