I watch a YouTuber called Theo Browne sometimes. He is primarily a front end dev. When I watch him talk about his solutions to things I feel like i've been hit on the head with a baseball bat. The sheer number of things that go into his demos is eye watering. The number of arcane terms about React he will mention in a single video astounds me.
I don't mean to specifically call him out, but I worry that the complexity is what keeps him popular. And then you have someone like Pieter Levels just slinging raw php into production and not talking about anything like Suspense or Server Side Rendering or Hydration.
They both get to the same ends (well Pieter Levels makes magnitudes of order more money I think) but there is a gulf in complexity. I'd actually argue something like Nomad List is much more feature rich than anything I see from Theo.
