Dev YouTubers Are Lying To Us | Theo Reacts

Hey Theo, Awesome video !! Btw, I belly laughed when you said - I love India too 😂. Of course India loves you as well my dude. Cheers!

don't do my boy Fireship like that, like 80% of his videos are straight up jokes

bro is literally kicking ass of big youtbers while sitting in a balcony.:face-purple-crying:. chad stuff

I find it curious, Sid gets Prime’s sarcasm but not Fireship’s.

Fireship is very clearly sarcastic. Sid better leave my boy alone!

26:40 Theo if you believe they were good people who got blurred thats not the case, they filed a case on him for defamation.

I think that the 13-17 range is bigger. Just people under 18 lie a lot about there age.

43:28 Throwing shade at Fireship, nah. Don’t do that

Hey Theo, just gotta leave this here. I am a junior dev with 3 years of experience. Basically went through a 3 year apprenticeship in Germany and am now considered a "full" software dev by having succeeded my final exam. Your content helped me through this journey a ton. Even though I hate how modern webdev is all about pushing responsibilities to 3rd party providers (auth as an example) or libraries (ui as an example), I still learn a ton from your videos. I extremely appreciate your transparency. I can relate to the junior dev being overwhelmed and feared by tech Youtubers and you and Prime are a safety anchor for us just starting out. You should get way more respect in the dev community, even if I don't agree with some takes. It's a blessing to have you guys on here and I am very grateful.

We need more people spreading the truth like Sid, as an Indian it brings me pain to see my colleagues fall victim to Indian YouTubers who spread nothing but lies in the name of selling DSA courses.

43:50 This is bullshit, even if Fireship stamped "SARCASM" in the beginning of each video he make, people would still be scared of the things he says, one should not blame him for someone ignorance and sensibility, when you have the option of "just not watching" him.

I'm 18 and I have the exact experience as described in 21:58. I'm so sad that I can't talk to people that are as much into programming as myself. I started my whole journey when I was 11 making Minecraft plugins for Spigot and Bukkit. Of course I met people on the internet that could relate to me (which is why I'm on VRChat so much these days..), but my real life friends are all interested in other things. I hope that this will change when I go into university in a few months. But my hopes aren't high..

The clue is in their job title. They're INFLUENCERS.

If you've got a lot of international viewers, that might skew the metric for your viewers' average income. If you have a $100k gig in the US, the exact same position in France would be about €50k - and it isn't like France is a third world country, it's just taxes/services are structured differently. Someone making €50k a year in France is living just as comfortably as someone making $100k in the US, even if the numbers look wildly different.

I find my best way of learning is jumping in over my head and watching and reading a bunch of stuff that doesn't yet fully make sense. Then, over time, as I progress, I know what to look for and what to learn, and often, concepts I saw months ago will suddenly gel in my head and make sense.

The FAANG salaries are unrealistic in so many ways. Huge tech companies throw money around when they can, but you're never safe. You're always at risk of being part of a huge culling when that quarterly profit number doesn't meet expectations, or corporate management decides that the project you've been working on is outside the range of what they want to spend right now. I'm okay with my $90k, knowing that my job is fairly safe. I can plan around that and still live quite comfortably. Don't ever let a huge, unrealistic tech salary fool you. It comes with a ton of paranoia.

after this Fireship will put "Im Just Being Sarcastic" in his videos, instead of "Hi Mom!"

Sid has the biggest balls i have ever seen in my fucking life

I don’t code often with js or do frontend much, but i still love your videos. Seeing someone who is knowledgable talk about higher level coding and seeing how they approach things and how they think is still very interesting regardless. Love your videos.

Just a brief thank you to you, Theo. Watching your videos is like talking to a more senior dev sharing experiences I can learn from. I really appreciate it and defo came back for more since I started watching your videos. Keep it up and thanks a lot for the effort you put into your videos :)
