YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.



Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

Highlights

Alright, here is purely my takeaway from what I gleaned. It's not comprehensive by any means, so better watch the video first!

  • 🀏 Meritocracy
    • Misconceptions to make you marketable: "10x dev", "1% top software developers", etc.
    • These YouTubers don't want you to know that the world is unfair.
    • Students and AI fear as a market.
  • πŸ’Έ Money
    • Mere numbers to bait clicks: "75+ LPA", "HIGHEST SALARIES", etc.
    • Skill gap is the silent part.
  • πŸ“ˆ Trend chasing
    • Fearmongering is popular as ever.
    • Videobloggers plant the seed in unsuspecting minds and then retract when it bites them.
  • πŸ’© Bashing specific technologies
    • Saying "PHP bad" just because they use framework for unintended designs.
    • Switching involves burning previous technology, somehow.
  • πŸ˜“ Regret videos
    • Bad message: software engineering is a race with finish line.
    • Trying to be relatable to the viewer by demonstratively showing resignation.
      • Regret about not knowing something.
      • Regret about using technology.
  • πŸ‘» Scare marketing
    • Fake pretence of machine replacing certain or all kinds of developers.
