07 Beware of the scammy programming courses

In this episode, we will talk about why you should save yourself money and not fall for scammy programming courses telling you that they will get you a six figure job once you take their courses. IMO most of these guys are disrespect to the community. They want to ride on the buzz word and make money by putting together contents which are freely available in open source docs. Most of them also pay others to prepare the script they can follow on. This is wrong. Heck, I also thought about creating a course and ride on this wave but I just couldn't find the joy in doing this and so I stopped.

One of key component of being a software engineer is to learn the ability to find solutions to problems. Believe me, a good engineer knows how to google search an issue or concept he is trying to figure out. Most of the resources are there for free and enough to solve any programming problem. My mentors say the same. I have never seen them spend their money on these courses and neither have I.

When you short circuit knowledge gain by buying these course, you are removing that step which might help you become a better knowledge seeker You might solve one problem but further on, you will get dependent on someone to do the heavy lifting.

Tldr; If you see a course for less than $15 or may be even $20, go for it. But do not fall for these scammy course creators who fabricate open source free knowledge and sell it for a grand or half. Be wise, accept the grind, look for free open source information
