#AskIH would you pay $50/month to learn how to implement actual systems and features in NodeJs / Js
Everyone wants to learn how to come, but that's not enough. Coding is simple. Thinking through and implementing actual (complex) systems is the hard and rewarding work.
You may want to learn to improve your skills and understanding for your 9-5 career or to speed up your ability to bootstrap a side project.
The material would be practical, deep dives you'll actually be asked to or want to implement as a software engineer or architect.
Thoughts?
Probably not. I don't even pay $40 for my Frontend masters account

Thanks for sharing that. It appears, from their testimonials section, others are paying at least that much.
I'm curious why you don't choose to pay the fee. Is it not good enough content, delivery, etc.?
I pay yearly. Which is cheaper than the 40. sorry if that was worded poorly. they have sales whcih drive the yearly price down even more i think
Oh nice. So you pay ~$32/month. My approach would be more premium and more focused. I've seen it work in other domains to justify a premium price tag.
I really love this YouTube channel for practical Nodejs stuff:

Thanks for sharing that with me.
I think there's value in pointing new engineers to the correct/efficient things to learn.. most apps are 90% CRUD.
I completely agree. I get annoyed when I try to learn something new, but the example app is completely useless or unpractical.
I think you'll have a hard time competing against all of the other platforms for learning how to code.
Carving out a niche is especially hard without being popular in the development community to start off with - that's how most people seem to launch books/courses.
I guess you're assuming I don't fit the bill of your latter point?
I'm not sure, I haven't checked. Just most of the product launches i've seen were promoted with twitter personalities with thousands or tens of thousands of followers & a engaged follower base.
That's fair. Everyone starts somewhere.
