Good old Udemy Elixr/Pheonix courses being irrelevant within 6 months but still trying to con people by saying they're updated to current year.

Man don't get me started. I went to college in the 10's

I remember when I was trying to learn android development kid and android 5 was just released and all the tutorials that existed were basically immediately deprecated. God what a frustrating time.

We learned node in class and I learned angularjs in my free time because it was the new shiny thing lol. Went to pick it up 2 years later, come to find out EVERYTHING I learned was deprecated.

this is exactly what turned me away from learning android properly.

even simple tutorials for calculator apps would be broken and i had no idea where to even start

Thankfully we have Flutter to fill the gaps in usable developer experience these days.
