I always like to joke to people that if they want to learn something, anything at all, all they have to do is take a free class at YouTube university. I’ll have to add HN comments to my joke!

(And yes, as a former tech worker with no professional coding experience can vouch I’ve learned a TON here.)

In particular, the syllabus links to this HN discussion: Algorithms Are Great and All, but They Can Also Ruin Lives (wired.com) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8630311

...that is thankfully three years ago, modest enough (compared to what HN has become in recent years sigh) and no longer open for further comments.

Just make sure you don't mix them up, I don't wish learning from YouTube comments even on my worst enemies.
