Amaing podcast - so much I learnt about cricket
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.
Any suggestions to overcome this
I have become bitter about this corporate work culture. Had some terrible work culture in my last 2 jobs This has affected me a lot. Joined a new one, though it's good in terms of culture to an extent. I have gotten into the phase of not taking phony talks or fake conversations . It's getting hard to socialize, all I see is power play, insecurity and selfish motives. I can't talk to everyone and mostly can't take the fake things. This has increased more as I changed jobs and got older All they say is communicate more , increase visibility. Not sure how I will get used to things. It's getting very tough as I gain experience. I somehow feel this is affecting my growth.
