What’s up with FAANG bhaiyya didi culture?
My nephew tells me about all these FAANG bhaiyya and didi thing and it makes me really wonder whether it is a good thing for the tech culture in India.
Like providing content is fine but with every second kid launching a DSA boot camp or Product Topmate link is probably shilling to gullible students.
Any idea?

I was not into DSA or anything, nor I wanted to get FAANG, but there are better alternative to learn these and free. Harvard’s online courses as CS50, MIT courses, all these cool courses are way better than any bhaiya didi can ever produce.

Exactly and there is always MIT OCW

Mit open courseware has always been a gold standard for free learning along with Khan academy

There will be numerous ***** in your life but if you are someone who gets easily influenced by any random bhaiya/didi without analysing yourself it's your fault not their🤡

True but it also gives a bad name to the Indian tech scene. Have you heard of this AI influencer called Siraj Raval? He plagiarised an entire research paper and published it to claim his name to victory. He was then caught.

Everyone likes easy money and I hardly think they give a shit about what the Indian tech community goes unless they are making money.

Warikoo contributed to this pandemic by peddling secondary income ideas 😂
These naive bhaiya/didis paida warikoo uncle for his course and started making money from their juniors. Worst is - These folks don’t realise that mental space, energies are finite and they started spending more time on fooling people rather on regular day jobs. Suddenly, these 23 yoe started giving gyaan on everything under the sun and lost the capabilities to learn.

@ElonMast Agreed completely. This is the worst.

Rob the ambitious and gullible.
Sadly.
I just want passionate people to work with.
For instance, I had this senior back in school who was so damn good at debating that it actually made me fall in love with it. Call him a nerd but you couldn't stand against this man. That's the kind of crowd I wanna work with, one that makes me fall in love with the craft. Not mindless people who clock in clock out, which is what I think this Bhaiya didi culture is doing. Pumping more and more not-so-passionate.jpg people into the trade. And what that really does is indirectly impede innovation.

Its all fluff, people trying to make a living out of scamming youngsters. What young graduates need is a definitive roadmap to their goals, not content dished out every week which just keeps them in tutorial hell for months

I was victim of these but luckily they hadn’t launched any course that time😂 I can only feel sorry for the young innocent freshers in college

It's so sad seeing people fall for these bayya didis . And how come they call themselves bayyas . Until people worship goes out of their minds there will always be someone who takes advantage by selling unnecessary dreams

All because someone forgot about their running EC2 instance. 😂
Instead of releasing features, They are releasing people every sprint
They do layoffs on very Friday it seems, so that employees' weekend can be spend in depression
