If you've been following tech twitter over the years you would be already familiar with tweets like this (A thread 🧵):
We can see a pattern ...
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
"And Trust me, these content creator themselves haven't tried half of the resources they have mentioned." So true! Well said! 💖
In my opinion it makes ppl feel constantly behind and burn out, because we assume "they already know it I should keep up". 😵
It's like using photoshop at instagram, giving ppl unrealistic goal they compare to (leading to depression).
🙌
Yeah exactly. This was one of the main reasons I left Tech Twitter 2 years ago.
Saying that someone can "learn to code" with a bunch of disjointed online resources is naive at best and dangerous at worst.
Great decision 🙌
Exactly. 👌
Yes, this same pattern I've noticed a lot 😂😂 even LinkedIn is also there with posts like this.
Sadly, next gen LLMs will give rise to more stuff like this. Anyone has suggestions for better sources for tech stuff?
Well, we got Dev.to 😄😄
Bro you forgot about people who switched careers into tech and suddenly became thought leaders who conveniently are available for paid mentoring sessions despite having hardly any practical experience themselves.
Don't forget that the most tweets are JS concentrated. Twitter devs have unrealistic landscape, People forget that other languages exists.
I've included commonly used words in the muted word list to filter out these course sellers. I just wish muted words could be applied beyond the home timeline.
The amount of times I have to block these tweets is unhealthy ☠️
i left twitter and it was the best thing that i ever did. Linkedin is upcoming next
Linkedin ☠️☠️
Twitter is the new Linkedin
The fact that now they are going to get paid for this 🥲
How to learn to code?
A Thread (🧵🧵🧵)
Just write some code
End of thread 🧵.
Psychologically, lists are really easy way to take in a lot of info. They're super useful framework. That being said, those threads on Twitter are super annoying haha
Soo true about twitter techies
