[@avikde9631]

chalo nice to see atleast someone has the guts to handle criticism gracefully , just remember while each and every product is sold on promise of outcome , but lemme provide u a simple example , the chain marketing aka mlm ppl also sells dreams but then why are those dreams selling found harmful? Bcoz the main point here is exaggeration , sid never mentioned here that dont take courses or all courses is bad (infact he said that if find real value of your influencer's course without some promise of unreal returns then go for it ) but any course thats sold on the pretext of unreal marketing of selling highly utopian dreams is straight on immoral and wrong and you can love or hate or simply ignore ppl but being such an intelligent and talented guy i guess ppl like you , kirat and neeraj sud know in their heart thats wrong. Come on everyone knows how the indian middle class mentality is and how the youtube algo works , thats why you see all these financial influencial scammers who are not even registered under SEBI advocating for harmful stuff left and right and promoting them, both the financial influencers selling these crazy dreams of becoming rich and the ed tech influencers are doing wrong , atleast those idiots are mostly untalented fks but you guys are much better than that. I have high respect for kirat as he is someone who doesnt advocate for dsa too much or maang though the person who makes his titles and thumbnails are pure cringe and highly believe it doesnt suit his personality , i guess same goes to you , its high time you look at the thumbnails and titles before releasing the video as its said with great power comes great responsibility

Many KZbinrs emphasize focusing solely on DSA, claiming it's the backbone of software engineering, while neglecting other crucial subjects like computer networks, system design, operating systems, and DBMS.

Also the devspace is bad in indian youtubers , everybody is goin after full stack dev without even considering that for many freshers full stack might not even be a interesting which is why they might not get good at it .

He even has a video "5 reasons AI kinda suck". As for Tech with Tim, he has a video titled "I Was Wrong About ChatGPT Replacing Programmers," and there, he does admit that he got on the "AI will take our job" hype train in the beginning, but after multiple months of using AI tools, his perspectives have now changed. And this video I am talking about is not a YT Short, it is a full-length video of 8:51. But the points you make in this video are important.

Man, this video is such a breath of fresh air. I totally agree with you that you are what you are because of experiences that you went through.

If you make mistakes and you spend 1 day or 1 week trying to rectify that problem, you will learn not to repeat such a thing again. Mistakes make you better. This is what Primeagen says as well. Everyone you can do a task if you tell them how to do it and what steps to take, but if you only tell them to do this task, figure out how to do it on your own. The latter will teach you things that the former wouldn't be able to teach you in over a year. Love you for saying this man.

[@PowerMechGuyTechMasterEarl]

Thank you. I think we need the reminder that "No one knows what they are doing." It also seems as though the youtubers come from a society where it has become the norm to speak on your opinions as though they are fact. I know when I was growing up and learning tech, the people in my life who had authority regularly dismissed many of my preliminary approaches to things and spoke on what they knew as though it was not only more sound, but somehow timeless. I think one of the reasons these youtubers are so successful at the tactics you mentioned is because normal people are bombarded by these same tactics in so many other places. Until you get in the field, everything on the inside is a mystery. And that extends from the work itself to the technologies. Documentation seems to be a known issue for many parts of tech. This unnecessarily big void of unknowns can really make it seem as though we need someone to help guide us through. But I think that's what we keep forgetting. The is big void is big. It's so big in fact that no one person can map everything out. You must journey through it to get anywhere in the field and to, like you said, make your own path. The youtubers have to face the big void at as well. But we forget that what they say is based on what they saw. And what they saw is based on the snapshots they are able to get when they have access to their portion of the void. Sorry for rambling. This video says everything I want to say but that the people I know won't listen to.

[@iamsuryasonar]

I was just roaming around and found this video. loved it! I guess why most people fall for this trap is that they don't know the road map. That is what happened to me too. (mind you that I never brought any course and you don't need to either.) KZbin already has soo many courses. So what is the road map to become a react developer? As I'm also in this journey to become a react developer. I finally found it. So what is it? Just go through mock interviews(in youtube or medium etc) and collect all the topics mentioned for react or for javascript or typescript) then start grilling youself theoretically. and builds projects on top of it(initially mini projects). One thing to keep in mind is that if you memorise you will forget, so keep on building things. Stack overflow is you friend. And DSA, well for that just take any DSA sheet(this days so many are available) and practice array and string problems. You obviously need to know linkedlist queue, stack and tree basics. It is not that complicated I realised that after actually trying. Write notes and keep on adding topics as you discover them. I recently started applying. So hope this helps. Amd wish me luck.

[@hiteshhatwarbs1911]

I am also in IT space and I openly accept that I don't want lakhs or crores of rupees as my salary not because I don't like the IT field. But because I know to be a good skilled software developer you need to have some level of DSA understanding and no matter what you say, I don't want to learn it, period. IT field is not just limited to writing codes, but it's also spanning outwards and making the navigation in the tech space easy for even kids. Anyways, I loved the way you spoke the truth and for this reason I know you deserve to be subscribed and followed.

[@agenticmark]

im a high school dropout who was raised in the USA illegally. I did SE for 15 years before I bothered to learn DSA. India's obsession with DSA is due to your culture, not the reality of programming.

[@exFeeds336]

Wow its like u read my mind. I m also not interested in 50-60 LPA just enough to not suffer thats it. I like this field but dont like its monetization so much Programming is meant to make like easier for all of us not to turn this to massive business like most of youtuber do. I have seen so many people who make AI projects or whatever to impress recruiters but they rarely they tried to make something useful for even themselves. IKEA effect is really satisfying and big motivation to explore many things. About the DSA thing, i dont hate DSA even though i m bad at it. But one thing i truly hate is competitive coding as it destroys the essence of DSA.. CC is all about optimization or tricks to run certain function. That code may be optimized but may not be scalable or good enough to maintain. Companies ask questions and give coding problems related to it bcz its most convenient for them

[@user-ud3sk6db5t]

[@iitiankibaat]

I completely agree with your video, and a lot of points on it man, but one thing that you are missing out is the fact that by saying that the IT industry is meritocracy based and that there exists a top 1% of coders. a lot of young people are being motivated to become the best version of themselves. Yes, it is completely true that there is no such metric to measure who are the top 1% and on what basis. But by considering a hypothetical top segment, a lot of people are able to exploit their full potential by the motivation that they can reach that tier. Which I think is one positive side of it. Also, the scenario in which a less skilled guy might get hired due to asking a lower wage is completely valid. But again, it’s a niched situation, so you cannot generalize that a guy with less merit will always be hired over a more deserving candidate. Even if such situation exists, in majority of cases, a better candidate is usually selected if they reach the final rounds, again exceptions are there as you already said. Initial rounds are kind of an if for either type depending on the firm. I am from IIT kharagpur, coding since sixth grade, developing websites since High school. Have significant experience in open source community. Highlighting these just to say that I didn’t take the course out of desperation for getting a job, or that I have problems in placement. But to show that I found the cohort 1 by Harkirat to be pretty good given the level of depth to which he went into individual topics, something that you rarely find in the low quality content available on KZbin by bhaiya didi YTers. Obviously, you can learn everything for free on the internet, but again the information is discrete. And not, everybody has the same level of adeptness at researching. Also, there are a lot of firms that visit our colleges like QuadEye, graviton, Tower Research capital, Jane street etc, which actually are great companies whose hiring process is completely based on meritocracy, with emphasis on computer science fundamentals, something that most bhaiya didi KZbinrs who keep their scam going in the name of GSOC and development completely ignore (maybe because they themselves are incompetent at that level of depth). You are doing a good job, but what i feel is you should always place both sides of the coin. On one side, there is no such crazy metric as 1% club and not everything is merit based, but on the other side, being a highly skilled and knowledgeable coder actually pays in the long run. As India is any way slowly becoming famous to the world for polluting opensource due large pool of low quality engineers.

@Sid The IT Guy I agree with you. As new students enter the IT field, they often watch KZbinrs' videos where they only discuss the pros. They don't mention what you actually need apart from this and that. It's shameful that today education has been reduced to just a business.

Ppl nowadays... 1.) Get a High Paying LPA job in MAANG 2.) Then making 10 - 15 videos how they landed the job. 3.) Then emphasis that how talented they are and they can help you in your career 4.) Then start creating courses, selling them, even creating a website to teach other ppl. 5.) Showcase their hidden talent that they always loved teaching when they are still naive and in their mid 20s.. 6.) And then finally when the hype is created and enough audience is attracted to their courses they resign from their jobs, gloryfying & justifying their idea of quitting the job.. In the END the ppl who suffer the most is the middle class hard working coders or job aspirants who get preyed by them. REALLY SICK OF HYPE VIDEOS SINCE A LONG TIME.

[@paulmaxwell-walters8861]

I love the video. Some great ideas - there are so many grifters in YT scaring people to sell a product. However I would argue two things. 1) The myth of a 1% elite of developers and testers who get all the worthwhile jobs is a scourge in this industry that has been around for many years. I remember in the late 2000s a big fuss over the idea of the "10x developer" who could magically do the work of ten people. The narrative was that if you just hired a few of these, no matter how difficult they were to deal with or if they could work in a team or not, their sheer productivity and genius would boost the delivery and growth of a company. Now it is largely seem as a joke but many people still believe it. 2) Don't be so hard on people coming into the field just for the money. If you asked most people in any industry why they work in the jobs they do, they would probably say "the money" first or not far from first. I knew many people who studied CS postgrad with me who, if you asked them why they are on the course, would say "for the money". Considering how much university tuition and the cost of buying a house, providing for a family and going from working class to middle class costs, I wouldn’t criticise anyone with a strong money motivation in their career.

[@pushkarwaykole7043]

The level of clarity in the thought process and the courage to talk about such an important topic is just very appreciative.Glad to see such people also exists. Finally KZbin recommending quality content.

[@namangadia9056]

Really refreshing to see this take. Kinda felt called out as consumer of some of these but ig I needed it. I am very confused now to what to even pursue as a dev... everything seems saturated. I know a lot of roadmaps already exist but would like something that actual give me irl pointers instead of common same advice.

[@exFeeds336]

@imsurya... wrote this in previous comments. hope this will help you. "I guess why most people fall for this trap is that they don't know the road map. That is what happened to me too. (mind you that I never brought any course and you don't need to either.) KZbin already has soo many courses. So what is the road map to become a react developer? As I'm also in this journey to become a react developer. I finally found it. So what is it? Just go through mock interviews(in youtube or medium etc) and collect all the topics mentioned for react or for javascript or typescript) then start grilling youself theoretically. and builds projects on top of it(initially mini projects). One thing to keep in mind is that if you memorise you will forget, so keep on building things. Stack overflow is you friend. And DSA, well for that just take any DSA sheet(this days so many are available) and practice array and string problems. You obviously need to know linkedlist queue, stack and tree basics. It is not that complicated I realised that after actually trying. Write notes and keep on adding topics as you discover them. I recently started applying. So hope this helps. "

[@manoj46_17]

Loved every bit of it, very mature prespective and every fresher needs to watch this video its a motivation to slow down, look back and be a better engineer. I have been in this rabbit hole of getting sucked into this YT coding culture and I did realize that it was not right the hard way, I just moved towards books, learning some new technology takes time and couple of YT videos cannot be a substitute for it. Learn old tech like C and gain deep understanding of things actually work this will make you appreciate the abstractions which new tech offers and understand it better, it takes time and effort, don't hurry, you don't have to build the next unicorn. I strongly feel in the long run money should not be the motivation upskilling should be, money will follow, just my opinion.

[@SidTheITGuy]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@ashwinkumarnair4104]

Indeed, you're correct. I recall discussing this matter with a friend employed at a prestigious IT company. He recounted an incident where they hired two individuals who successfully navigated interviews at major companies like Uber and Amazon, only to resign within four months due to underperformance. Despite receiving high ratings from interviewers, these candidates struggled in actual roles. It highlights a common trend where candidates focus solely on interview preparation, neglecting actual job performance. The most proficient software engineers aren't always those glorified as top 1 percent by KZbin coders.

[@jsonankit2071]

Thank you so much brother, it really helped me very much to calm myself.

Salute to you sir and keep doing what you are doing you are absolutely right in that there is too much scare tactics going on in the industry right now. For no reason software development has become this big thing that everyone thinks is absolutely cool and people and companies are selling that image also instead of correcting them. If there is one thing I have understood is that many people see a "market" in grief and regret of other people. It is shameful really.

What a great perspective . Applaud ur work boss 👏

[@oppaedits9819]

So i recently watched a video where a youtuber is explaining his perspective to get started in the field (not CS) but i followed and liked it in a reverse order of what he said, I mean i respect his experience but what i think is everyone is viewing the world in their perspective and as a viewer we must be conscious enough to notice that and don't take everything personally but instead try and test the task ourselves first and i advice everyone to do the same in the CS field too, your perspective and your reality counts at the end of the day! Instead of blindly following the narrative we instead should research something on our end. Thank you for making this video and giving a reality check

Never had a Sofware Developer job, have been self-teaching for the last 3 years and built many applications for my portfolio and felt ready, when I got to my first interview I forgot how to program and had to improvise on very simple coding challenges, I didn't get the job and it was a shame because the interviewer liked me and seemed like we got along. I stopped applying for jobs after that interview and focused on learning what I should have learned first, the fundamentals networks, operating systems, algorithms , data structures and design patterns. I haven't surrender because last year I remember that I felt in love with coding despite the fact I dropped out of college to pursue this career mainly for the money and I know it's too late to regret that decision. All that said, I see how the world and the industry is going and i'm really just thinking to also learn a blue collar skill, garnering or electrician, or something more niche.

Sir one more thing i want to add here is that my primary lang was Java and React.js, I got an interview call from a company where I needed to work on C#, now I got selected and for last 6 months I am working on C#, still keeps learning Java and react.js whenever I get some time, but the thing I want to say is that even though I was a beginner in the C#, once I started working under a team, and under someone's guidance, I started to make progress, worked on various projects now. Everyone reaches there potential one way or another. so in my opinion there is no 1% developer category, all one need is a good push, also these coding influencer flex hard on college graduate like dude, do that same thing to working professional who work on this thing on daily basis.

As a software developer from a non-IT background who grinded for years to get into this field, there are couple of things which no one talk about: LUCK and JOB availability. Luck plays a very critical role in the job hiring process including getting the right vaccany info at right time with right timing for incoming new projects to get hired easily and vice versa when projects are canceled or delayed. One need to really grind hard in initial stages and only after certain period of life the career looks very promising and till that date, its a hectic hexausting dead loop of what i am doing, i dont belong here, etc.

Thank you for this video. Currently, I am on a journey to make web-based software applications, and my mentor uses PHP for the development. I got discouraged by many videos on KZbin saying that PHP is outdated and many other things that were discouraging. You have cleared my self-doubt because now I understand, as you have mentioned, that every language is designed to fulfill specific requirements. Currently, my requirement is to create software for clients whose user-base or databases are very small, so I see why PHP is being used here. And in my journey, if I ever need to deal with large amounts of data or users, I will be warned to use something more appropriate.
