- rogy 7y agoEverytime I see one of this guys videos pop up I can't help but this he's a bit of a parasite. Leaching off anything for views. He doesn't seem to provide any valuable advice in any video I've watched, yet people lap it up (although his following have a very distinct demographic)
- spag1024 7y agoWhat's the demographic?
- wyclif 7y agoDevelopers who want to work for FAANG companies.
- tjpnz 7y agoI've tried watching him a few times and got the same feeling. He also goes to great lengths to remind everyone (all the time) of how much money he makes. Is that normal for people in Silicon Valley?
- crispyambulance 7y agoYeah, that guy has some kind of personality defect. But, more sadly, it just goes to show how desperate his audience is for someone they can look up to and who will, authoritatively, give them some kind of guidance. He's part of the self-help-vlogger-industrial-complex. There's A LOT WORSE than him out there too.
- pantalaimon 7y agoI always assumed his videos were satire.
- Insanity 7y agoYeah me too. I mean, he is building his channel around this character of being 'the tech lead'. It's a youtube personality. Don't take it too seriously :)
- kostarelo 7y agoWell, not satire, by his sarcasm can be easily confused and misinterepreted. I don't think he's intentionally showing off how much money he's making. I like him and I like how he's projecting the life of a regular developer from SV in his videos.
- imesh 7y agoThat's how I take it. I find his videos hilarious. No more a parasite than any other YouTuber.
