Egghead.io is not worth it, the courses there have a shelf life even shorter than frontendmasters. Authors mostly use it to dump their wares then never update the course afterwards while breaking API changes litter their backlog making most content, unless it was released in the last 3 months, worthless.

Absolutely not worth it since the courses are on par with random youtube tutorials IMO.

Also really dislike the pattern of some popular frontend frameworks selling basic documentation in the form of "courses."

Thanks for replying. Agreed on shelf life, but IME at least some of the egghead materials, at the time of publication, have been worthwhile to me. But that experience (5+ years ago) is quite possibly out of date.
