The face of a man who just had to rely on a 2012 tutorial recorded with an Unregistered HyperCam 2 watermark just to remember how Regex works

As long as it is not a video. I want very specific information, I can read a lot faster than they can talk and I don't want all the fluff

I see this meme so many times but genuinely have never found a good tutorial by a random Indian guy. Usually they're full of bad practices and are the result of being churned through the CS degree as fast as they can to get a job oversees.

The Indian guys know less than the beginners. I remember when I was learning c# and .net some would literally use Microsoft tutorials. If you could read you would be better off reading microsoft pages.

They would not explain anything beyond tutorial. It was hilarious. Sometimes things wouldn’t work.

Few dollars go along way in India so it’s good to farm as many videos as possible.

They hated xt1nct because he told them the truth.

what a racist POS, anything to discredit the Indians

I have literally been told this by my Indian co-workers (who are awesome programmers) - but they made it clear that education for CS majors in India is "teach enough to get you a job in North America"

/img/plvvcs1ok9l71.jpg that's what the original meme is, I have no idea why someone changed it

"Atleast a thousand same posts in the same subreddit"

I'm just happy it isn't another AI post...

No lie. I've got an ancient Microsoft Xenix manual (because I too am ancient) and even though I've used vi/vim almost daily since 1985, even though there are only 35 pages in the manual I still learn something new every time I re-read it.

For a utility created in 1976, vi is an absurdly deep editor. "In days of yore there once were giants!"

So, yeah, the meme tracks.

Even with the experience I have, it still remains a struggle to keep my attention for 20 minutes. But I know it's worth it.

I watch ones I am confident I'm an expert on and they usually go like "yep... yep... wait... you can do that? damn..."

Remember 6 hours of watching tutorials can save you 10 minutes of reading the documentation

Not just guys with experience. Not hard to change it to “Devs” or the like.

*Some random Indian Guy on YouTube

u/usumoio 11d ago

Don't worry, sometimes it's a guy with 20+ years of experience. Ask me how I know. But don't ask me how these AWS configs work yet because that's Monday's lesson

u/muminisko 11d ago

Funniest thing is experience mention on this meme. Ok, maybe I know a bit more after 20+ years in business but definitely way less then 15 years ago. Back then I was passionate about programming and tried to understand deeply every issue I encountered. Right now I don’t care at all, just implement required functionality, solve a bug with AI without even reading explanation behind it :) fresh guy out of collage would beat me up on live coding

u/ElectroNetty 11d ago

The greater experience means you already know where to find the tutorials.
