Dev community should come together to counter didi Bhaiya of twitter/LinkedIn

I work with a tech influencer , he is literally below 20% of our companies talent. But has strong social profile. Now he is charging 2999 for tech and career guidance. All the freshmen out of college are paying to get guidance from the guy who is pretty average in his own skills. 😂 like WTF

People don’t realise that the ones making the most noise on Linkedin aren’t the best. There are exceptional ones out there who make no noise. Finding out those gems is a task

True. Some of the most talented guys like Primeagen and guy from Fireship aren't praised because they actually tell people what to do i.e. to keep upskilling, which most people don't want to. Ye "today my dog stepped on a bee and that made me think..." wale log life ko easy sound karate hai

I agree with this. But if you think about it, the same happens throughout your life.

  1. You pay the coaching with AIR 1.
  2. You pay the college looking at Top Placement/100% placement.
  3. You pay the guy from FAANG/social profile because trust.
  4. You pay the Amans and Babbars of the world because social following means "trust".

The strong stay independent and the weak get trapped because they don't know any better. So, we need to come together to counter these bhaiya/didi culture.

I'm not offended. Why apologize? I am just making a statement.

Even I used to wonder how someone pretty good at their job has time to do 5 LinkedIn posts deriving observations from random scenarios.

Is it me or is it everybody facing this problem?

I don't feel like using Linkedin anymore. It's not because of its weird recommendation algorithm but the people on it. I don't understand why people connect if they don't want to help! I literally asked 10 people on Linkedin, the very sa...

Tech influencers selling mentorships on topmate

I see so many LinkedIn Tech influencers selling mentorships on topmate. While this is certainly not wrong. But some are charging 6k for 30 min or so, which is insane. Usually people under 2 years of exp are falling for this. Funny thing ...
