Most of the content taught by tech youtubers is simply wrong/incomplete

"a little knowledge is a dangerous thing" or "neem hakeem khatra jaan"

I realised this recently when I went through my old bookmarked videos and realised I learnt it wrong.

Now i know better from my experience, but it's quite shocking, that a beginner might be still watching these videos and learning it wrong.

Most content about system design and distributed systems is far from the truth, it includes all your famous YouTubers including Gaurav Sen etc

e.g wait till you realise that ACID guarantee doesn't mean anything and C-consistency is a made up concept.

we want an easy way out by just going through videos, and even the YouTuber can't make it complex, otherwise no one will watch their videos.

The real knowledge is still in those famous books, read those, otherwise you sound like a phony who just knows buzzwords, which is very easy to catch in an interview.
