Hey C

I'm just curious here, what would you have expected to get?

I am subscribed to the month-to-month plan, and honestly I rarely use it for job-related stuff.

In my own personal opinion, I've found value in their community (community.egghead.io), and I watch videos on random subjects I've never heard of while I'm walking on the threadmill.

But, what would be something that just make you go...
"Oh Mr. Egg, this is good, let me pay another 10 years in advance please."

PS. There is an Instructor on Egghead that it's actually animated, it's like a stop motion squirrel, and you can tell the voice is from a kid. While the course might not be the best, I really appreciated watching a funny video about coding.

Hey, I expected to get good short videos for beginners. I have chosen 1-y. sub. only because of the cybermonday sale. That's my fault not to choose 1-m fisrt. Before purchase, I watched 2 free courses and they were amazing.

For example, I want to learn Gatsby. If you search for Gatsby courses there are only 4 of them. Which are super non-informative.

Yeah, I feel you
I want to learn React Native, and their videos are outdated (even thou they are about 1 year old).

Thanks for such quick reply btw
