pknerdon Ask HN: What programming tutorial/course/article/blog would you like to see?

It does not matter what one likes to read or watch. What really matters is what you can teach or share. There will always be a market of any niche, especially related to dev.

I myself maintain a blog and run a Youtube channel in local Urdu language. When I started, I did not think what others want. I shared what I loved and could do on my own.

As long as you are original, authentic and honest, people would enjoy even a Hello World video by you.

pknerdon YouTube is banning anti-vaccine activists and blocking all anti-vaccine content

First of all I am fully vaccinated.

It is believed that Vaccine supporters are dumb and ignorant, could be, but how can you prove that the other party is small and well educated.

Such carpet will fuel further the conspiracy theorists and they would say to their followers, "See, we were right! they do not want you to learn the truth about vaccine"

Ah remind me days when I made an MSN messenger Quran bot in 2005 and then Twitter bot in 2009. Both used Quran data in XML format which I later converted into Sql.

Good attempt!

Uncertain why my comment triggered others. Google and you'd find stories. Do not take every other ban an attack against democracy.

pknerdon Ask HN: Do you have a process or a framework to learn specific skills quickly?

As a developer I do the following(mostly):

- Pick a technology/tool/language of my interest.

- Check Youtube videos about it.

- If I find I am able to grasp the gist of it quickly in 15-30 mins then I further explore it.

- Visit official docs

- Check examples.

- Come up with a use case and write a blog post that makes me to dig deeper because I am now serving as a teacher.
