YT helped me learn a lot about software engineering before I had a professional SWE job, but it was nowhere near a replacement for a bit of experience. My first 6mo at a good company was very formative.

It's a supplementary, I'd say.

From my experience, I learn more from a structured material (aka courses, books) and structured process (aka working in a company).

But I often get the motivation and knowledge from unstructured material like YouTube.
