I rarely comment partly because revanced doesn't send me notifications about reply. But as someone who has 15+ year of experience in industry you are spot on. This had to be said. Kudos.
In the end, not only in IT. Every niche we come across all the social media platforms, from content creator's perspective, They are doing their Job, the trend of Hooks and CTA has gone soo worst that even if you genuinely wanted help people at the phase of marketing your skills or knowledge it feels miss leading.
Lol just because you are seeing a video about a person telling the basic thing which you would have also understood if you have used a little bit of brain you had. You think you are on a right path. Logo ko course beechna hai isliye yeh sab trend karta hai aur log khudka research karte nhi hai isliye agar koi banda aake unhe bolde ki yeh sab galat hai toh uska hi baat maan lenge. Ab kya guarantee hai ki yeh banda badme 2-3 saal ke baad course nhi beechega nhi bol sakte kuch bhi. Just focus on yourself and research on your own ki kya hai aslihahat aur kya nhi hai.
@@sigmamard777 Bro, if you think a fresher should get 50lpa then it is really really tough. There are exceptions I know but how many? Gather experience in the industry and you will be at the 50lpa mark.
@@giansuniyo3542 you can only call him out if there is any falsehood in his comments , you can utilise any popular method to get reach as long as you are truthful and not harming anybody,those youtubers deserve to be called out for selling these utopian dreams
@@legityash I wish I was one of the people in the thumbnail picture (financially & in technical knowledge) I don't have any channel so don't have any real id.
Many RUclipsrs 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. DSA is indeed important, but it's just one aspect among many in computer science that freshers should study.
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 . Other fields like iot , cloud , devops , system design are left behind and freshers soley focus on these full stack which leds to repeated projects
@manavkhandurie359 its not their problem its the problem of middle class in india , you need to understand that in any other field you cannot go cause its highly maintainable , Android you need a 16gb ram and a high end laptop in cloud and networking you need certifications worth 10000 , web dev is easiest
DSA is the most important metric in all high paying IT jobs. If you have done DSA and an internship on web/Android development etc, the rst of the small topics like DBMS, OS, CN can be covered in 1 month at max.
Finally someone called them out, I was so tired of constantly seeing this LPA job this Crore Remote job, glad to know I'm not the only one who felt this.
@@SidTheITGuyhey actually I am from non-tech background 😅 i am really tired nervous idk what to say, i want to just find a dev job can you guide mate.
@@Codemakesense I got into a tech job with little to no experience in coding mate. Just learn on demand basically. Your mind tells you to do something, just do it. Don't listen to XYZABC as to what they did. This video deserves a view from me. I never watch whores and fear-mongers on youtube. Just ruin your mood literally with the thumbnails.
How is it a reaction if you already watched it?! Just make a response video. Cut out the parts where you don't add anything of value and put some effort into your videos
@@emty5526 I'm sorry but your argument doesn't make any sense. A reaction is still a reaction even if you watch it already. Reaction just means your thoughts about something that you can say. Watch it before, or don't, doesn't have anything to do with anything.
Very good video! I wanted to add, part of my bachelors requirement had me reviewing the software engineering skills gap. The bulk of the literature showed that the actual technical skills AREN'T that important to employers, they're concerned more about soft skills, how well you work with others, communication, teamwork, etc. It was a shock to me because everything you see/hear is about how to "upskill," but you really want to focus on developing good social skills. Spending all your time trying to improve your technical skills could actually be making it harder for you to find work if you neglect those social skills employers want. Cheers from the USA 🇺🇸
13:32 "There is nothing that I would change if I had to start over I would do it exactly the way that it happened for me in my journey because it makes me the person I am today"
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. Hats off to you @SidTheITGuy for speaking so boldly.😍😍😍
no nisahnt and fraz harmed .....plus they make these cringe emotional videos of how tough it was to leave their job and how they always were passionate to teach and how they will bring this revolution in the market ....its indian serials level melodrama
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 RUclips coders.
Bro I need help , I'm starting new as a college student and I'm currently learning web development (basic) what should I focus on more so that I will be able to do a fine job when I join a company, i don't know what to do and I don't wanna waste these years doing something that wouldn't help me in any form
These malpractices are now-a-days everywhere (They first overmotivate you them start selling you their courses ) it completely dominant Coaching/Tutorial industries
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.
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.
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
@@agenticmarkthats damn true actually here in India students just come to cs with mindset of google and microsoft and just goes into dsa dsa and in the end they gets so much confused and under skilled in it field that they don't get other options to explore
EzSnippet is the worst, bashes people who are trying to have fun in their lives, always talking about money, talking how you are a loser if you have an 8 LPA job, absolutely disgraceful.
I don't think he will bash you for your salary, but the mindset and satisfaction for example i saw someone with 18k monthly asking for advice and he was giving general advice
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.) RUclips 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.
I don't like software engineering anymore..koi v video banata hai and course bechta hai...I left my job also..now I really regret aerospace engineering kyu nhi kia ya core domain me kyu nhi gayi...IT itna crowded ho chuka hai,sabko IT me aana hai aur high paying job chahiye...abhi sabko data science data analytics me ghusna hai...
I'd agree that the competition is fierce, and that's exactly where RUclipsrs swoop in and try to sell you courses/things. Exactly what I covered in the video.
@@begthere3839 yes because now company can hire one senior and few low level developer that can create or fix something using AI. You should focus and have at least more then one hobby in your carrier otherwise after 3 years it will be very hard to survive.
Saw the video. Some points were valid. I have been working on improving this and since last few months you won’t see a lot of these thumbnails or videos. However, I will work on the feedback! 💯
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
Not even for a second I had thought of going back from this video! Truly Amazing. I mean whatever you said I was having exactly same thoughts about these youtubers but I was always doubtful of my thoughts since no one else was pointing out. One more thing that refrained me from thinking anything bad was, "The gratitude" that you spoke about. I was like: "My college wasn't teaching me a thing even after charging so much money but then their are these people who atleast gave me some path". But yes I would like to applaud you for you fierce take on these people, It takes balls to put your hand your hand directly on people with such fan-following. But man may me you could have experimented around the names. Since videos like these are really a treasure and these should persist for future coders. I hope nothing goes wrong with this video, no stupid strikes etc.
man this is so true. I am actively interviewing fresher for my company, and so many of them just come after copying some project by these youtubers and then belive that they know everything and some of them even expected i would ask more of DSA questions than basic concepts of HTTP and web. Fear mongering is real
lol this is so relatable. knowing atleast one industry standard language is a must. if you don't know anything then what will the company pay you for from day 1 while you catch up. in any case we don't expect or trust trainees to solve the leetcoce level coding problems.
Spring's entire documentation is a mess. Who wants to target the niche (ppl who like java are probably already working with java and is a growing minority) when targeting javascript or go is guaranteed to produce more viewers.
Yes... I have seen a discussion about job opportunity for fresgers in MERN or java full stack... Many of developer voted 60% for java full Stacy which offers more opportunity to fathers compaare to MERN... But in RUclips it is showing only MERN
Why are you butthurt with mern stack? Mern stack do have good job market anywhere you work. Java is mostly used now in companies like barclays ,deutsche bank etc. many companies have started working on mern stack. Now talking about these 60lpa youtubers yeah i dont agree with them
@@vikk1249 sorry me.Vikki.. I didn't offended MERN Stack.. MERN has a tremendous application in startups.. I know it.. But what I am trying to say is both java and MERN Stack is giant... Java good for enterprise level app and MERN used in startups... But whenever I wabt to learn java spring boot.. My friends don t encourage me... So that i am commented like that...
You are so so spot on! Tbh, it is highly discouraging too, for newbies as well as experienced people working in IT. The fear mongering especially is so intense that one feels defeated even before trying. They sell their content as if it is motivating, but it is exactly the opposite. When we are supposed to nurture someone's interest that can help in their career, it sucks to see a bunch of people just selling their misinformed opinions portraying themselves as the "best exceptional awesome 1% sde crowd" lol. Also, the php hate! Php can actually scale, FB, slack, wordpress etc. uses php lol. Thank you for making this video, really! This should really go viral!
This is so fucking good. As a senior dev who has lead several teams, both startups and corpo, there is no such thing as the 10x dev. Seriously, they don't exist, and wanting to be one is the best possible way to hamstring yourself with hyperspecialization and fucking up your career path.
Same is with finance influencers. Sala kafi creators k pass certificate ya advisory license hi nahi h or audience ka kaat rhe h or audience be like: arey wah sir ji, or katiye mera😂😂😂
This is one of the most honest and real videos in the RUclips swamp. Love this channel, thanks Sid. It's hard out there, really hard, not just for the intended audience. All the best ❤from Australia.
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 RUclips 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 RUclipsrs 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.
I completely agree with your point! It's important to be critical of what you see online, especially when it comes to claims about making money fast. There are many resources available to learn coding for free, so do your research before investing in a paid course.
Great insight! I can imagine how this video can be eye-opening for many NPC students falling in the trap. Good to see someone finally make a video on it. Bashing PHP part was also very accurate...doesn't get enough spotlight.
@@afreenbanu13667 Its a term commonly used for people who do not have their own thought process and act according to others/society's beliefs and rules...
Trying not to backbite but some tech influencers like ezsnippet who say it is a must to be in top 1% in order to survive in the tech field can be really demotivating for people like those who are just starting their career
But it's little bit true also it field is so much overcrowded many people comes into also some of them from commerce and arts background so it's necessary to be in top 1% also na bro
@@Ayush23rt4 u may be right it's somewhat overcrowded however people who are unable to get job would likely be in top 50% so u can get job even by being top 30%, but as said in the video top x% is not a proper metric to measure software developers rank so we are being hypothetical right now and making assumptions. Keep in mind entire software field is not overcrowded, there is shortage of C# developers in US and in India it's balanced, what is overcrowded is whatever that is hyped like MERN Stack is extremely overcrowded, data science is heavily overcrowded but mobile app development is not that overcrowded. Keep in mind Engineering is still a field which gives much more and way high paying jobs in India compared to Commerce and Humanities, most ppl from normal university graduated from commerce degree in India get sales position which is not enjoyable and often low paying and really hard working but an engineer graduated from normal university has much more opportunities for high paying jobs. Also our country India has a really really bad problem of unemployment
@@Ayush23rt4first of all, software engineering skill is not a one dimensional scale. There is no such thing as rating points like in sports (chess, etc.). Thus, claiming there is a top 1% does not make sense. Second of all, why would only 1% of software engineers survive? There are for sure way more jobs than 0.01 times number of software engineers.
@@drakey6617 but in this competition its necessary to be one of skilled software engineer and there are n number of skilled and talented software engineer so it's important to be in that top percentage so we can get into big companies
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
This feels like it was made for me... Over the last year I've gone through each of these channels one by one in phases and literally been binging theprimetime since like last 1-2 weeks and the amount of knowledge I gained and genuine fun I had even in hour long videos is something I've not experienced before
Also I'm not just mindlessly binging everyone, I'm exploring all fields coz I had no idea just how many things are there in comp sci, most Indian code feed is in an infinite loop of which language to choose, this student got this salary qna, and as u said beginner Java, web dev courses..
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 Sid. That's all I needed, someone to break the code and help me break out of my vicious cycle I got myself into since 2019. 2023 I think I became sick emotionally, feeling like something is wrong with the tech world. Why I couldn't get a job after 2 years of studying frontend development. Now I know why I feel like that guy in the sixth sense movie, the one who shouted at Bruce Willis " I want what you promised me"
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.
One thing to add The PHP thing is a joke/meme, everyone serious in tech knows that PHP just gets the job done,like javascript,both of them have their shortcomings,some pretty serious ones,but they just get the job done.
1:10 there are genuine ones too in the list like Aryan Singh and Parikh Jain specially. But anyways, just my POV after consuming their content as it's better than other office tour and roadmap videos. Aryan's most videos are brutally honest like THIS ONE ALSO IS (current video)
thabks sid for calling these people out. I once had a guy working for microsoft in seattle tell me that i shouldn't waste my time learning C. he was an IIT graduate and told me i should learn prevalent tech that will make me more money! what a douche he failed to recognize my passion for computers because he himself lacked it!
Bhai before all this hoopla and rage hype about ai , about 8 years ago in my final year college project I used genetic algo and neural networks with unsupervised and supervised modified algo with mama to extract tumour from grayscale images which led me to get awards for my final year project and so you know which language I used ? It's plain C , the thing is logic matters not the language and funnily I didn't even know at the time that all those were part of AI
depends what role you are looking for. c is not used in web app development which happens to be where the money is. in embedded systems its the language of choice. i think its used in game engines like unreal aswell. the point is the closer your task is to the hardware the more important it becomes. the best strategy in today's world is to not be biased towards one language or framework. learn, become proficient, pivot, grab opportunity, repeat.
@@priyojitchatterjee6164 yeah exactly not one language is enough and one needs to adapt and most importantly perspectively matters like what exactly and where exactly will you apply . Regardless at early stage like college days logic is king it's the most important thing
@@ServerGhost-d8p well finding the logic for the nested iteration of mama ( modal analysis and mutational agglomeration or something like that since it's 8 years ago ) was quite tough to me at that time , thoraa faat gaya tha and my mentor sir was a bit kharus but he was right I guess about lesser hand holding but ultimately I was able to find it , toh the actual code was like 1000 plus lines long but main logic ka around 200 odd lines Maine likha tha baki dusre ne likha tha as I like writing the logic of anything iye syntax wala cheezein zyada pasand nehi hai mujhe. Regardless other than me who contributed mama my friend added genetic algorithm and clubbed it to get better enhanced results and Franky uska code was longer and more nuanced and he kinda did a lot of the heavy lifting ( hamara projects separate tha but we were working on same grayscale images or x ray images mostly medical images though non medical wala stuff pe bhi we tried our code out and clubbing it was our idea just to get enhanced results.i will tell u a funny thing I used to be a better coder at college logic wise than now , since my current work is actually in support project so i have kinda lost a lot of the edge , but then again I might forget syntaxes but the core logic part still is there I guess
@Sid The IT Guy I agree with you. As new students enter the IT field, they often watch RUclipsrs' 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.
10:27 i agree 100% people get their first job with PHP and yet tell junior developers to stay away from it and promote their current stack after they have 5+ years in the industry... horrible advice... because then the new developers miss out the opportunity to get in the industry with php where they can probably find more results.
There are a few popular dev channels that I've seen, that sell courses starting at $600 USD to learn nextjs. I learned Next from the docs for free, because that's what the docs and community are for.
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. We learn by doing which is most necessary when doing software. If you don't make mistakes, you will never learn. 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.
RUclips contents were never about money if you go back 10 to 15 years of the youtube space. It was always about portraying the skills in the form of video content. It is recently everything has become about money and showing off. And because of them many beginner students are in deep frustration not about understanding of a topic of a particular skill but on the fact that they are not earning that much. Its really scary
I have been searching for intermediate level videos. It's like searching sand in the south pole. If I dig deep enough I will likely find some, but by then my motivation has gone to the afterlife by sheer exhaustion.
@@SidTheITGuy Just checked your videos they are mostly Laravel. I am learning Python and Rust. For real though you could make business by just reviewing RUclips dev senseis and informing us noobs if it's worth our time or not.
Another thing I've noticed is that it's usually Python and JavaScript being marketed. And those are general purpose dynamically typed languages that require you to have some other skill or framework. (Next, React, Node etc). How many learn Rust, C or C++ in 30 days have you seen? lol They know they will get called out. I decided to restart my learning by learning things properly vs cert chasing and hype. There is no magic pill
yep. Lately I find myself annoyed by every coding video I see in my feed, because they are so... "youtubersih". I am fed up with all those trends. And yeah, Healthy software dev is a very useful one. Packs his videos with something that is actually helpful.
Thank you so much, bruh! As a fresher about to start my journey in IT, listening to you has made me realise the exploitation that many RUclipsrs subject students to. I appreciate your courage in exposing these tactics and teaching us to embrace our own paths. I hope this video reaches many others
Code with Harry Is the best youTube Coder bcoz he never sell a false dream or money trap...I personally used his course it is really amazing...by the way sir can you tell me the current conditions of bca graduates in IT industry
I have 15+ years of experience and this guy is spitting facts. And not only that, there is a lineup of these sellers like finfluencers, real estate gurus and many more kinds of snake oil salesmen waiting for you 5 years/ 10 years down the line to pick your future insecurities. I never joined sw development because of the money, the ones who are speedrunning salary packages wont ever survive. Most of those people go do MBA or go chase UPSC after getting into software. You have to be a certain kind of crazy to be in software to stick around it. Good luck
Thank you bhaiya... It was really relieving to hear truth about the industry. It never crossed my mind that these big RUclipsrs like fireship is only selling his perspective like facts 😢. I'm gonna complete my ug this year. And working on myself. Let's hope for the best ❤. Thanks again. I'm relieved
11:07 php is a technology which was introduced to provide contectivity with the server while holding the code of frontend design . Every technology which was introduced in the industry because it solves a certain problem . So saying that php is not a good thing to learn is just a nonsense . If i remember even the Facebook was 1st devloped in php
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".

@@tlsthelostsoul ahh bro look their is nothing to do with a specific youtuber sid said that thing in the video for many RUclipsrs who are selling courses and fake hopes to the students and if you look carefully he is right if one RUclipsr is launching a Dsa course then all other RUclipsrs are also bringing the same course with literally same content with a different name he is just pointing out that Dsa is not every thing indeed it’s important but you just can’t get that 40-50lpa package just by doing a Dsa course their are so many other things that you need and it’s just my opinion no one is stopping you from purchasing their courses you can follow them and just stop acting like a blind follower of someone
This is the first video I'm watching in your channel, Your sensibility, way of putting hard truth's everything blown my mind off. I'm glad you came out with this topic and presented in a calm way. Hope you'll have more successes! Subscribed immediately 👏
It's true Fireship bashes PHP and other technologies time to time but he's always sarcastic about them. I like Fireship's content because it's short & fun and we get to know what's happening in the world.
I am not a software developer but the fact that you said you don't want to change anything if you're going to start over, will always stays with me.. cause I believe in those words and I have first handedly experienced.
So true man! I started my web development and dsa journey back in my second year basically following everything these tech youtubers said in their various 'roadmap' videos and here I am today, about to graduate, sitting with a 4 lpa job in hand. What is the difference between me and the guy next to me who only studied for placements for maybe a month or two? In the end, your college is the only major factor in your placements. I feel really lost today wondering what should be my next step forward.
I don't think 4 LPA job should make you feel lost. It's a very good salary for someone entering the industry. Keep working hard, you will earn more money in the coming years.
Not for long. College doesn't matter once you gain a few years of experience. Switch to some not so well known product firms instead of targeting FAANG directly. It's much easier and you might even like it there. Then you can target the big tech companies as you'll get enough calls from them.
That's the issue: people do not realize they are talking about their current salary, not the salary they got when they joined the industry. And the people who got 10 or 20 LPA from the start are very few in the market. You either have to do too much hard work on practical and communication skills, or you are lucky.
Great video my friend! I do coding as a hobby (or at least, I don't care to work for someone else) but still, calling out lies and people who try to take advantage of others is a big W!
8:03 i always found fireship's content to be a humorous way of giving information Everytime he says chagpt is going to take your job, it is punchline to the fact that no one know whats going to happen, and yet everyone is so sure that ai will take your jobs.
Great video !! U gave me a view from above ki why is something happening in main stream media and what's the reason/personal gains of an individual youtuber behind promoting something without having any accountability
This basically applies to 90% of all self-help, career advice, and personal finance channels. Is someone is creating daily videos about how they got rich from the real estate market, chances are they did not get rich FROM the real estate market. Same applies to software engineering, financial analyst, etc.
I know that they are just want views just making content by which students have a lot of confusion like to do this or do that and students believe like he/she's the savior . But brother/ sister do it on your own way They all are just making their own profit by making those kind of videos . Thank you brother sid for highlighting this thing❤

Many RUclipsrs 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. DSA is indeed important, but it's just one aspect among many in computer science that freshers should study.
Exactly, Thank you for pointing this out. I missed it, damn.
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 . Other fields like iot , cloud , devops , system design are left behind and freshers soley focus on these full stack which leds to repeated projects
@manavkhandurie359 its not their problem its the problem of middle class in india , you need to understand that in any other field you cannot go cause its highly maintainable , Android you need a 16gb ram and a high end laptop in cloud and networking you need certifications worth 10000 , web dev is easiest
DSA is the most important metric in all high paying IT jobs. If you have done DSA and an internship on web/Android development etc, the rst of the small topics like DBMS, OS, CN can be covered in 1 month at max.

Reaction just means your thoughts about something that you can say. Watch it before, or don't, doesn't have anything to do with anything.
Very good video!
I wanted to add, part of my bachelors requirement had me reviewing the software engineering skills gap. The bulk of the literature showed that the actual technical skills AREN'T that important to employers, they're concerned more about soft skills, how well you work with others, communication, teamwork, etc.
It was a shock to me because everything you see/hear is about how to "upskill," but you really want to focus on developing good social skills. Spending all your time trying to improve your technical skills could actually be making it harder for you to find work if you neglect those social skills employers want.

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.

You forgot to mention that only due to college placement 😊
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 RUclips coders.
Bro I need help , I'm starting new as a college student and I'm currently learning web development (basic) what should I focus on more so that I will be able to do a fine job when I join a company, i don't know what to do and I don't wanna waste these years doing something that wouldn't help me in any form
@@CodeC-tw2glwhat degree you're applying for?
These malpractices are now-a-days everywhere (They first overmotivate you them start selling you their courses ) it completely dominant Coaching/Tutorial industries
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.
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.
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
@@agenticmarkthats damn true actually here in India students just come to cs with mindset of google and microsoft and just goes into dsa dsa and in the end they gets so much confused and under skilled in it field that they don't get other options to explore

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.) RUclips 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.
You've got the right attitude. Best of luck my guy.

I have been working on improving this and since last few months you won’t see a lot of these thumbnails or videos.
However, I will work on the feedback! 💯
Wow Nishant, a reasonable influencer that didn't freak out and accepted the feedback?? That's rare these days.
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
that was before I saw how Nishant truly behaves like. Now i know at least he is one of the good ones.
Ok ok I am deleting that comment @@SidTheITGuy
@NishantChahar At least you won as a sensible guy.
Not even for a second I had thought of going back from this video! Truly Amazing. I mean whatever you said I was having exactly same thoughts about these youtubers but I was always doubtful of my thoughts since no one else was pointing out. One more thing that refrained me from thinking anything bad was, "The gratitude" that you spoke about. I was like: "My college wasn't teaching me a thing even after charging so much money but then their are these people who atleast gave me some path".
But yes I would like to applaud you for you fierce take on these people, It takes balls to put your hand your hand directly on people with such fan-following. But man may me you could have experimented around the names. Since videos like these are really a treasure and these should persist for future coders. I hope nothing goes wrong with this video, no stupid strikes etc.
don't jinx it, my guy lmao 🤣🤣🤣
man this is so true. I am actively interviewing fresher for my company, and so many of them just come after copying some project by these youtubers and then belive that they know everything and some of them even expected i would ask more of DSA questions than basic concepts of HTTP and web.
Fear mongering is real
lol this is so relatable. knowing atleast one industry standard language is a must. if you don't know anything then what will the company pay you for from day 1 while you catch up. in any case we don't expect or trust trainees to solve the leetcoce level coding problems.
They quit from FANG and they sell courses to crack FANG , hyprocracy at peaks !!
Bro you are very right, I am so depressed because of these tech influencers.
Not just in coding niche, but in a lot of stuff you flushed off the scare out of me.
Even RUclips is fully fludded with MERN stack courses. No one wants to make a course on Java Full Stack
Spring's entire documentation is a mess. Who wants to target the niche (ppl who like java are probably already working with java and is a growing minority) when targeting javascript or go is guaranteed to produce more viewers.
Yes... I have seen a discussion about job opportunity for fresgers in MERN or java full stack... Many of developer voted 60% for java full Stacy which offers more opportunity to fathers compaare to MERN... But in RUclips it is showing only MERN
Bro from where I can learn Java full stack development? I have been fooled into learning mern stack
Why are you butthurt with mern stack? Mern stack do have good job market anywhere you work. Java is mostly used now in companies like barclays ,deutsche bank etc. many companies have started working on mern stack. Now talking about these 60lpa youtubers yeah i dont agree with them
@@vikk1249 sorry me.Vikki.. I didn't offended MERN Stack.. MERN has a tremendous application in startups.. I know it.. But what I am trying to say is both java and MERN Stack is giant...

You are so so spot on! Tbh, it is highly discouraging too, for newbies as well as experienced people working in IT. The fear mongering especially is so intense that one feels defeated even before trying. They sell their content as if it is motivating, but it is exactly the opposite. When we are supposed to nurture someone's interest that can help in their career, it sucks to see a bunch of people just selling their misinformed opinions portraying themselves as the "best exceptional awesome 1% sde crowd" lol. Also, the php hate! Php can actually scale, FB, slack, wordpress etc. uses php lol.
Thank you for making this video, really! This should really go viral!
Pretty true. Most businesses targetting the entry-level and not the intermediate or advanced was spot on.
This is so fucking good. As a senior dev who has lead several teams, both startups and corpo, there is no such thing as the 10x dev. Seriously, they don't exist, and wanting to be one is the best possible way to hamstring yourself with hyperspecialization and fucking up your career path.

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 RUclips 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 RUclipsrs 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.
I completely agree with your point! It's important to be critical of what you see online, especially when it comes to claims about making money fast. There are many resources available to learn coding for free, so do your research before investing in a paid course.
Great insight! I can imagine how this video can be eye-opening for many NPC students falling in the trap. Good to see someone finally make a video on it. Bashing PHP part was also very accurate...doesn't get enough spotlight.

exactly, ikr
But it's little bit true also it field is so much overcrowded many people comes into also some of them from commerce and arts background so it's necessary to be in top 1% also na bro
@@Ayush23rt4 u may be right it's somewhat overcrowded however people who are unable to get job would likely be in top 50% so u can get job even by being top 30%, but as said in the video top x% is not a proper metric to measure software developers rank so we are being hypothetical right now and making assumptions. Keep in mind entire software field is not overcrowded, there is shortage of C# developers in US and in India it's balanced, what is overcrowded is whatever that is hyped like MERN Stack is extremely overcrowded, data science is heavily overcrowded but mobile app development is not that overcrowded. Keep in mind Engineering is still a field which gives much more and way high paying jobs in India compared to Commerce and Humanities, most ppl from normal university graduated from commerce degree in India get sales position which is not enjoyable and often low paying and really hard working but an engineer graduated from normal university has much more opportunities for high paying jobs. Also our country India has a really really bad problem of unemployment
@@Ayush23rt4first of all, software engineering skill is not a one dimensional scale. There is no such thing as rating points like in sports (chess, etc.). Thus, claiming there is a top 1% does not make sense.
Second of all, why would only 1% of software engineers survive? There are for sure way more jobs than 0.01 times number of software engineers.
@@drakey6617 but in this competition its necessary to be one of skilled software engineer and there are n number of skilled and talented software engineer so it's important to be in that top percentage so we can get into big companies
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
Thank you so much for the kind words

Over the last year I've gone through each of these channels one by one in phases and literally been binging theprimetime since like last 1-2 weeks and the amount of knowledge I gained and genuine fun I had even in hour long videos is something I've not experienced before
Also I'm not just mindlessly binging everyone, I'm exploring all fields coz I had no idea just how many things are there in comp sci, most Indian code feed is in an infinite loop of which language to choose, this student got this salary qna, and as u said beginner Java, web dev courses..

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.
Seriously, Fireship? He's clearly memeing on AI.
His favourite phrase is "unfortunately I still have my job".
Agree with everything else though.
Came here from Theo and subbed. Thanks for calling out fakefluencers.
I'm happy to have you here :)
Your comforting words have soothed countless souls, spreading warmth and reassurance.
That was the intent. Im thankful you got the message.
Thank you Sid. That's all I needed, someone to break the code and help me break out of my vicious cycle I got myself into since 2019. 2023 I think I became sick emotionally, feeling like something is wrong with the tech world. Why I couldn't get a job after 2 years of studying frontend development. Now I know why I feel like that guy in the sixth sense movie, the one who shouted at Bruce Willis " I want what you promised me"
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.
One thing to add
The PHP thing is a joke/meme, everyone serious in tech knows that PHP just gets the job done,like javascript,both of them have their shortcomings,some pretty serious ones,but they just get the job done.
1:10 there are genuine ones too in the list like Aryan Singh and Parikh Jain specially. But anyways, just my POV after consuming their content as it's better than other office tour and roadmap videos.
Aryan's most videos are brutally honest like THIS ONE ALSO IS (current video)
thabks sid for calling these people out. I once had a guy working for microsoft in seattle tell me that i shouldn't waste my time learning C. he was an IIT graduate and told me i should learn prevalent tech that will make me more money! what a douche he failed to recognize my passion for computers because he himself lacked it!
Bhai before all this hoopla and rage hype about ai , about 8 years ago in my final year college project I used genetic algo and neural networks with unsupervised and supervised modified algo with mama to extract tumour from grayscale images which led me to get awards for my final year project and so you know which language I used ? It's plain C , the thing is logic matters not the language and funnily I didn't even know at the time that all those were part of AI
depends what role you are looking for. c is not used in web app development which happens to be where the money is. in embedded systems its the language of choice. i think its used in game engines like unreal aswell. the point is the closer your task is to the hardware the more important it becomes. the best strategy in today's world is to not be biased towards one language or framework. learn, become proficient, pivot, grab opportunity, repeat.
@@avikde9631 wow ! Must be awesome working on that project!
@@priyojitchatterjee6164 yeah exactly not one language is enough and one needs to adapt and most importantly perspectively matters like what exactly and where exactly will you apply . Regardless at early stage like college days logic is king it's the most important thing
@@ServerGhost-d8p well finding the logic for the nested iteration of mama ( modal analysis and mutational agglomeration or something like that since it's 8 years ago ) was quite tough to me at that time , thoraa faat gaya tha and my mentor sir was a bit kharus but he was right I guess about lesser hand holding but ultimately I was able to find it , toh the actual code was like 1000 plus lines long but main logic ka around 200 odd lines Maine likha tha baki dusre ne likha tha as I like writing the logic of anything iye syntax wala cheezein zyada pasand nehi hai mujhe. Regardless other than me who contributed mama my friend added genetic algorithm and clubbed it to get better enhanced results and Franky uska code was longer and more nuanced and he kinda did a lot of the heavy lifting ( hamara projects separate tha but we were working on same grayscale images or x ray images mostly medical images though non medical wala stuff pe bhi we tried our code out and clubbing it was our idea just to get enhanced results.i will tell u a funny thing I used to be a better coder at college logic wise than now , since my current work is actually in support project so i have kinda lost a lot of the edge , but then again I might forget syntaxes but the core logic part still is there I guess
@Sid The IT Guy
I agree with you. As new students enter the IT field, they often watch RUclipsrs' 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.
Damn I didn’t expect this much wisdom from a random video that popped on my feed.
Openly exposing almost every youtubers from tech field. Hats off brother!
10:27 i agree 100% people get their first job with PHP and yet tell junior developers to stay away from it and promote their current stack after they have 5+ years in the industry... horrible advice... because then the new developers miss out the opportunity to get in the industry with php where they can probably find more results.
There are a few popular dev channels that I've seen, that sell courses starting at $600 USD to learn nextjs. I learned Next from the docs for free, because that's what the docs and community are for.
Exactly. Well done my guy
most legit video i've seen so far on current IT space....glad to hear u
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. We learn by doing which is most necessary when doing software. If you don't make mistakes, you will never learn. 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.
RUclips contents were never about money if you go back 10 to 15 years of the youtube space. It was always about portraying the skills in the form of video content. It is recently everything has become about money and showing off. And because of them many beginner students are in deep frustration not about understanding of a topic of a particular skill but on the fact that they are not earning that much. Its really scary
Bro called out Fireship for firemongering about AI.
Maybe he didn't watch Fireship videos or he doesn't understand sarcasm.
What a great perspective . Applaud ur work boss 👏
I have been searching for intermediate level videos. It's like searching sand in the south pole.
If I dig deep enough I will likely find some, but by then my motivation has gone to the afterlife
by sheer exhaustion.
I have covered intermediate level videos on my channel. Not sure it will align with your reqs
@@SidTheITGuy Just checked your videos they are mostly Laravel. I am learning Python and Rust.
For real though you could make business by just reviewing RUclips dev senseis and informing us noobs if it's worth our time or not.
that'll result in more lawsuits bruh... I don't want it anymore 🥲
@@SidTheITGuy That's true. We live in a world where we are not allowed to say if something is bad or wrong, but we get blamed if we get tricked.
Thank u. You deserve atleast a million subs
Wow, you just made my day. Thank you so much for the nice words.
Yes trueee
People peddling fake hopes will get a million subscribers, people telling the truth. will never will.
Another thing I've noticed is that it's usually Python and JavaScript being marketed. And those are general purpose dynamically typed languages that require you to have some other skill or framework. (Next, React, Node etc). How many learn Rust, C or C++ in 30 days have you seen? lol They know they will get called out.
I decided to restart my learning by learning things properly vs cert chasing and hype. There is no magic pill
you can't learn anything in 30 days lol
He mentioned 30 ,replace it what ever you want
yep. Lately I find myself annoyed by every coding video I see in my feed, because they are so... "youtubersih". I am fed up with all those trends.
And yeah, Healthy software dev is a very useful one. Packs his videos with something that is actually helpful.
Thank you so much, bruh! As a fresher about to start my journey in IT, listening to you has made me realise the exploitation that many RUclipsrs subject students to. I appreciate your courage in exposing these tactics and teaching us to embrace our own paths. I hope this video reaches many others
I am going to follow you. I hope you never change the kind of contents you make
Man, I never thought about 1% being part of manipulation tactics. Thanks for new(at least for me) perspective on that kind things.
Really eye opening. Great work man!!
Code with Harry Is the best youTube Coder bcoz he never sell a false dream or money trap...I personally used his course it is really amazing...by the way sir can you tell me the current conditions of bca graduates in IT industry
the example you used at 09:30 that is ironically the most PHP proponent channel
main bhi bhaiya aisa sochta tha kuch mahino se lekin apne jaise dhoti khola in logo ka hats off
I have 15+ years of experience and this guy is spitting facts. And not only that, there is a lineup of these sellers like finfluencers, real estate gurus and many more kinds of snake oil salesmen waiting for you 5 years/ 10 years down the line to pick your future insecurities.
I never joined sw development because of the money, the ones who are speedrunning salary packages wont ever survive. Most of those people go do MBA or go chase UPSC after getting into software. You have to be a certain kind of crazy to be in software to stick around it. Good luck
Thank you bhaiya...
It was really relieving to hear truth about the industry.
It never crossed my mind that these big RUclipsrs like fireship is only selling his perspective like facts 😢.
I'm gonna complete my ug this year. And working on myself.
Let's hope for the best ❤.
Thanks again.
I'm relieved
11:07 php is a technology which was introduced to provide contectivity with the server while holding the code of frontend design . Every technology which was introduced in the industry because it solves a certain problem . So saying that php is not a good thing to learn is just a nonsense . If i remember even the Facebook was 1st devloped in php
at least somebody said the pale truth hats off sir for exposing most of the fact
Call me bro, dude, bhaiya etc please. Im not Sir
Brother huge respect for you ❤@@SidTheITGuy
I like how you called them out by name 😂. They definitely know they're view farming
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.
Dont worry developers, the RUclipsrs will say, "I never said, personality is not a thing. The HR will always see his/her personality".
9:47 throws nail cutter and rhino catches it. Rhino says : "may the force be with you , truth shall set us FREEeeeee "
Sid had previously declared that he would never remove the RUclips thumbnail, yet he did so anyway. And also he removed the Live video as well. 👏
Delhi High Court Judge orders bro. Also the new thumbnail is in the works. Don't worry about it, I'll update it once again when I have a new non-problematic thumbnail.
@@SidTheITGuy its okay bro the notice thing just showed us that you really exposed them and how triggered they got by hearing the truth😂
@@yashkryadav7844 if he was right...then why did high court order him to remove the thumbnail?? he didn't talk about aman dhattarwal in the entire video and yet used his morphed photo JUST FOR VIEWS...it is against the law if you care to read it brother
lol bro I went to the hearing and heard what the judge said ... and here you are acting like you know more than them. lmao what a clown.
@@tlsthelostsoul ahh bro look their is nothing to do with a specific youtuber sid said that thing in the video for many RUclipsrs who are selling courses and fake hopes to the students and if you look carefully he is right if one RUclipsr is launching a Dsa course then all other RUclipsrs are also bringing the same course with literally same content with a different name he is just pointing out that Dsa is not every thing indeed it’s important but you just can’t get that 40-50lpa package just by doing a Dsa course their are so many other things that you need and it’s just my opinion no one is stopping you from purchasing their courses you can follow them and just stop acting like a blind follower of someone
This is an eye opener, I am glad I found this video today. Thanks RUclips ❤
I'm glad that I could help you.
Job laga neog se?
@@vishusharma2522 what do you mean?
This is the first video I'm watching in your channel, Your sensibility, way of putting hard truth's everything blown my mind off. I'm glad you came out with this topic and presented in a calm way. Hope you'll have more successes! Subscribed immediately 👏
It's true Fireship bashes PHP and other technologies time to time but he's always sarcastic about them.
I like Fireship's content because it's short & fun and we get to know what's happening in the world.
I am not a software developer but the fact that you said you don't want to change anything if you're going to start over, will always stays with me.. cause I believe in those words and I have first handedly experienced.
So true man! I started my web development and dsa journey back in my second year basically following everything these tech youtubers said in their various 'roadmap' videos and here I am today, about to graduate, sitting with a 4 lpa job in hand. What is the difference between me and the guy next to me who only studied for placements for maybe a month or two?
In the end, your college is the only major factor in your placements. I feel really lost today wondering what should be my next step forward.
I don't think 4 LPA job should make you feel lost. It's a very good salary for someone entering the industry. Keep working hard, you will earn more money in the coming years.
Not for long. College doesn't matter once you gain a few years of experience. Switch to some not so well known product firms instead of targeting FAANG directly. It's much easier and you might even like it there. Then you can target the big tech companies as you'll get enough calls from them.
That's the issue: people do not realize they are talking about their current salary, not the salary they got when they joined the industry. And the people who got 10 or 20 LPA from the start are very few in the market. You either have to do too much hard work on practical and communication skills, or you are lucky.
Great video my friend! I do coding as a hobby (or at least, I don't care to work for someone else) but still, calling out lies and people who try to take advantage of others is a big W!
8:03 i always found fireship's content to be a humorous way of giving information
Everytime he says chagpt is going to take your job, it is punchline to the fact that no one know whats going to happen, and yet everyone is so sure that ai will take your jobs.
It still had the effect of people believing it, even though it was a joke. I dislike Fireship because he went a little too far with this joke.
Great video !! U gave me a view from above ki why is something happening in main stream media and what's the reason/personal gains of an individual youtuber behind promoting something without having any accountability
Continue making such videos 💪
Thank you so much. I'm glad you got my message and the way I intended it.
Damn this is GOLD content. Keep making these brother ❤
9:52 bro casually throws out PHP into the trash bin 😂😂
No I didn't
Thank you for this video. I am clear now!
I'm glad I am able to help you
a must watch video, learned a lot of things especially the "regrets" section 😀
Thank you so much! ❤
This basically applies to 90% of all self-help, career advice, and personal finance channels. Is someone is creating daily videos about how they got rich from the real estate market, chances are they did not get rich FROM the real estate market. Same applies to software engineering, financial analyst, etc.
I know that they are just want views just making content by which students have a lot of confusion like to do this or do that and students believe like he/she's the savior . But brother/ sister do it on your own way
They all are just making their own profit by making those kind of videos .
Thank you brother sid for highlighting this thing❤
Thank you so much. I'm glad that you got my message.
