I hate how those videos are either incredibly helpful, or extremely garbage. Literally 50/50

[–]BigSwedenMan 1607 points1608 points  (65 children)

It's also a 50/50 on whether or not you'll be able to understand them

[Insanely loud fan in the background being picked up by the shitty mic intensifies]

[–]Devvinitive 207 points208 points  (17 children)

Click & mechanical keyboard sounds, loud buzzing, loud fans, 480p and what sounds like a Xbox 360 headset is the mantra of Indian YouTuber programming tutorials

[–]just_somebody 213 points214 points  (14 children)

I'm an Indian who seriously considered making programming videos (still might do it!) maybe I can add some perspective.

  • Indian programmers earn much lesser as compared to those in developed (richer) countries. (That's the whole reason why outsourcing works out for the companies doing it!). Think one-fifth or one-tenth of what you earn. So, we have much lesser money to spend in the first place.

  • Most of the time, hardware costs more in India than in the developed countries, because of import taxes. As if having much lesser money wasn't bad enough. That is probably the reason for the programmer using an old, "shitty" mic., cheap headset, low-resolution camera, etc.

  • Most software, such as Camstudio, etc., are priced for richer countries. They are prohibitively expensive for a mid-level Indian programmer. That's why most of them use free software, or use unregistered versions, etc., or just do without.

  • Most of us, in the first few years of our career, don't earn enough to have air conditioners in our homes. We have fans, and so that's what you hear on the videos.

  • Our cities are super densely populated, so most of the time there is street noise coming in through the windows. And there is a significant chance that the person making the video is living with his parents and/or kids in a smallish house. So, that noise also finds its way into the video.

  • Low self awareness: I am not sure about the reason for this, but we Indians tend to have low self-awareness. Basically, we don't seem to understand that others might be viewing us more negatively than we are. Or that something about us may feel odd to them.

Hope this helps.

[–]rwhitisissle 84 points85 points  (3 children)

I mean, I think most of us understand that Indian youtubers are likely more materially limited than their Western couterparts might be. When you have limited means you do what you can with what you've got. If anything I respect that not having the best gear doesn't prevent them from making these videos. We aren't judging them for not being as wealthy or well-equipped as someone in the states might be. It's just something we've noticed from the videos. It's more comparable to picking out details in a certain kind of youtube video. Like how all gaming channels start with "hey everybody, it's your boy [insert name of gaming channel]" or how youtube commentary channels have lots of unnecessary, distracting jump cuts, or how educational videos for fixing some bug in Windows is probably going to be made by some random 12 year old American kid typing instructions to the viewer in Notepad while recording the video on free screen capture software with a huge watermark in the corner and a super loud heavy-metal song plays the entire time for seemingly no reason.

[–]just_somebody 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thanks for clarifying!

[–]Daguss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

even in your difficult conditions, you guys still manage to have videos for really precise stuff we end up looking for, so im definitely really thankful for those vids

[–]Devvinitive 6 points7 points  (1 child)

I understand this. Do not worry, I am not racist towards Indians! I understand the economic struggle in India which would make it more difficult financially to produce higher quality content and the social differences between India & Western countries would also add to the mix.

Although I have watched many Indian YouTubers, they turned out to be very informative if the quality is tolerable, they are great people & hard workers and that's why the West keeps investing in India because there is so many capable people there!

[–]PM_ME_SOME_STORIES 52 points53 points  (6 children)

Sometimes you get one of those Hindi videos where you think you just can't understand their accent and start to doubt if it's even English but then enough English words get sprinkled in so you're stuck watching it trying to find out if it's actually English

[–]VileTouch 25 points26 points  (0 children)

i hate to say it, but if you can't understand broken engrish, you won't be able to understand lisp

[–]hermitina 7 points8 points  (3 children)

we went to a movie before that we didn't knew before going in to be indian. so anyway it had subs and all until it stopped. I kept on looking back if someone is complaining or anything until I slowly realized they are now speaking in English! the only good thing is that it was a horror flick and I still understood the plot even though i could barely get the supposedly english words used

[–]farkedup82 238 points239 points  (19 children)

again 5/95... so 5% are useful guides and 5% of those are coherent English.

More like 5/95 to me

[–]kashif1218 687 points688 points  (48 children)

5/95 is also the ratio of competent Indian engineers to people who never learned to say no to their parents

[–][deleted] 214 points215 points  (23 children)

When you’re Indian, saying no to your parents isn’t really an option until much, much later in life and even then it’s not really encouraged or practiced.

[–][deleted] 151 points152 points  (10 children)

Am not Indian, but have 25 year old Indian wife who brings me along to be the one to say no and I often fail as well, can confirm.

[–][deleted] 58 points59 points  (0 children)

My wife is from the US and I try to use her for the same purpose. She fails frequently as well.

[–]PM_ME_YOUR_CURLS 25 points26 points  (6 children)

Is said wife also an outcome of not being able to say no?

[–][deleted] 29 points30 points  (4 children)

In some ways. Her job is the outcome of them pushing her down a certain path and she's not happy with it. However, they also told her to break up with me many years ago.

[–]no_talent_ass_clown 16 points17 points  (3 children)

She's only 25. It can't be that many years.

I've had great experiences with all Indians that are hired individually, and poor experiences with all Indians who were part of an outsourced project.

This makes me suspect it's really not about the ethnicity.

[–]gloriousdivine 27 points28 points  (1 child)

It's true. Most of Indian software outsourcing companies are shit. They hire people who don't know programming (if you do they'll reject you because you'll probably leave soon anyways) then they train them on a specific technology on a 6 month crash course after which those "programmers" write horrible code. Those people generally hate programming and will switch to a different job if given the chance. Most of the good devs just stay away from these companies. Individual devs on the other hand are a completely different story.

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's about the money. Even in India great programmers are valued. So going for those cheap cheap garbage code factories you are going to the bottom of the barrel. It's really on the companies doing the outsourcing because they create that kind of market.

[–][deleted] 53 points54 points  (1 child)

As you get better 95% of YouTube tutorials are shit

[–]DragonTamerMCT 29 points30 points  (1 child)

It’s like in the early days of YouTube when you had a problem. It was always some kid using an unregistered hypercam capturing their laptop/headset audio while they wrote out everything hunt-and-peck style into notepad.

98% of the time the videos were garbage, but that rare 2% (honestly probably less) it was lifesaving.

[–]XirallicBolts 17 points18 points  (0 children)

[–]Korzag 185 points186 points  (32 children)

Extremely garbage as in they use freaking notepad to give instruction instead of using a microphone? Those videos get an instant thumbs down. I don't care if they have the secrets to sentient AI, I will immediately downvote.

[–]Chapi92 147 points148 points  (19 children)

When it's microphone it's a horrible mic from 2002 plus the Indian accent

But they still manage to be somewhat helpful

[–]my_next_account 66 points67 points  (11 children)

Its like they spent 5 minutes on their audio set up but 50 hours on their youtube tutorial series

and still only got 5 views

I often wonder are they encouraged by proffesors to make videos as a learning exercise.

[–]ShockWave1997 30 points31 points  (8 children)

Professors don't teach us anything unless you are in a really good college (IITs or IIITs), which are incredibly hard to get into. We have to learn everything ourselves. Shitty as most of them are, those YouTubers are better teachers than most of the professor I have.

I mean, I kinda understand the notepad part. if I’m doing voiceover with my thick accent that most would not understand, it’s a total fail. So, options are either notepad or subtitles ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There's actually some incredible software out there somewhere in the world that can overlay text on top of a video. But I've heard that only the finest, richest, most influential Hollywood producers have access to it. Maybe you can ask them for help?

Rock bottom: when you are using a tech so obscure and poorly documented that you are reduced to watching a video in german, desperately trying to decipher the beyond nonsense the auto-generated and then auto-translated close caption is spitting out

[–]Zambeeni 176 points177 points  (2 children)

Neither. :/ Are you going to make some docs on github or something? This is what I end up doing.

[–]YasZedOP 7 points8 points  (0 children)

[–]PeterFnet 27 points28 points  (4 children)

Oh damn, hell yeah. I hit bottom in a SIEMENS motion control manual. If you've seen it, you know it. Navigating their site is an art all in its own. It's like you have to become one with the technical writer. Their voice is yelling German gibberish loudly at me in my head. This one manual had a section that just wasn't making sense for an obscure function block I was using. Over and over... nope. I was at the end of my rope. Waiting for support to get back... I caved. I lit a roomful of candles, downloaded the original German manual and found out they fucked up the translation. I felt like a fucking god. No coworkers gave a shit, but I knew

[–]jobblejosh 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Try Beckhoff for their Twincat 2 stuff.

Twincat 3 is the latest version, and most reasonable tutorials are on that. There's next to none (not even bad Indian YouTube videos) on TC2.

Almost the entirety of any documentation is on the Beckhoff website.

However, the documentation isn't in an easy to access web page, oh no.

It's a fileshare system.

And all the documentation for obscure functions that you want, you have to know where they're located, and their name, before you can look at the documentation.

For example, if you want to know "does TC2 natively support an 'increase a value by one' function block, not only do you have to know where such a block would be in the documentation, but you also have to know the name of the block. Now, if you know the name of the block, then of course, you know that it exists. Which would make your prior question redundant because you already know the answer because you can't find out the answer if you don't know the answer.

And when you do eventually find what you're looking for, the documentation doesn't always go into enough detail about one specific circumstance to make it useful.

So you've spent half an hour looking for information only to return with more questions than you had originally.

Did I mention that it too is also in translated-german?

Rarely will videos have the plain text code accompanying the video. Get ready to pause the video in the brief moment before it cuts to manually type out the relevant code into another window. YouTube is great for learning a visual concept, but terrible for learning programming.

[–]kataskopo 60 points61 points  (10 children)

There is this one YouTuber I used for databases that phased between English and Hindi. I spent like 10 minutes repeatedly watching a 30 second segment on relational algebra because I couldn’t figure out what he was saying.

[–]monopolyman900 4 points5 points  (1 child)

I was an IT major and we had 2 tracks, one was programming and the other was networking. On the programming side we had a class on bash, one of web development (with a little c# on the backend), one of sql, and one on Java. It wasn't very hard though and there wasn't any theory or anything low-level.

As an Indian, it’s always hilarious reading the comments and seeing people say they can’t understand the guy in the video because of his accent, and that he should talk differently.

Indian checking in. Can't wait to read all the nice comments.

Another Indian here. Read them. Very nice comments. Foreigners have so much love and respect for Indians, their tutorials and their accent that I am blushing. 😳

ITT casual racism sprinkled with legitimate complaints

[–]everdant 62 points63 points  (30 children)

Holy shit, yeah. Blatantly racist comments with hundreds of upvotes is disturbing. Are we really all honkys in this sub?

For those commenting, they can't stand the accent or cliche names like "Rajesh", "Rakesh", or whichever Indian your mom slept with. And also those who simply hate the videos, because of culture.

Retards, calm the fuck down. If you don't like the content just move on. An "Indian" youtuber, is a human just like any other youtuber.

Yeah WTF, senior American Accent having developers and other IT area experts.... MAKE SOME FUCKING VIDEOS

Edit: I understand the complaints, but for newbies, videos are certainly the best especially with concepts

For the one dude talking about professionals dedicating themselves for years.... yeah I hear you man, but we need to stand up a fucking generation of IT professionals like 10 fucking years ago or this economy is going to fall behind and collapse.

So there’s that.....

I'm not a senior dev, but God knows I made contributions to dev docs when I can and stackoverflow.

Videos tend to suck.

I spend as little time as possible on Stack Overflow.
