Is a "90 Days, 90 Coding Videos" challenge worth it, or am I wasting my time?

Title: Is a "90 Days, 90 Coding Videos" challenge worth it, or am I wasting my time?

I'm thinking about starting a personal challenge: 90 days, 90 Instagram videos.

The idea is to upload one short video every day explaining topics like:

  • JavaScript concepts
  • React
  • Node.js & Express
  • MongoDB
  • System Design
  • Interview questions
  • Common coding mistakes
  • DSA concepts

My main goal isn't becoming an influencer. I'm a MERN developer, and I want to improve my communication skills, build a personal brand, and hopefully make my profile more attractive to recruiters.

That said, I also wonder if this kind of consistency actually helps with reach. I know nobody can guarantee a viral video, but does posting every day significantly increase the chances over time?

For those who've tried something similar:

  • Did you see meaningful growth after posting consistently?
  • How long did it take before your videos started getting traction?
  • What mistakes should I avoid?
  • Would you focus only on one topic (like JavaScript), or mix React, system design, and backend concepts?

I'm looking for honest opinions and real experiences, whether the outcome was positive or negative.

30 Students, 3 Placements: My Honest Experience with Sheriyans Kodr 3

Title: My Honest Experience with Sheriyans Kodr 3

I joined Sheriyans Kodr 3 after watching YouTube videos and Instagram reels. After paying ₹60,000, I honestly regret joining.

Our batch had around 30 students, but only 3 got placed. Out of those, one already had prior experience and was one of the strongest students, and another got placed through a personal reference. So in my opinion, only 1–2 placements can reasonably be credited to the program.

The course felt rushed and incomplete:

  • Animation topics were skipped.
  • TypeScript was finished in about 2 days.
  • Only one frontend project was built—a basic Instagram clone.
  • No advanced projects, no hackathons, and no leadership/mentorship sessions.

I also found Ankur Bhaiya's behavior disappointing. He often said things like "Bhai, main aapko engineer bana ke chhodunga." These dialogues created huge expectations, but the delivery didn't match them. I personally found his communication during the batch unnecessarily rude rather than supportive.

I never saw the CEO join our batch to ask how students were doing, what problems we were facing, or whether the preparation was actually helping.

After every placement post, only the successful students are shown. Where are the other 27 students? Their stories matter too.

The course price later dropped from ₹60,000 to ₹40,000, which made many of us question the original pricing. I've also spoken to Kodr 2 students, and many shared similar concerns.

Maybe after this post they'll gain sympathy from the online community or ask students to post positive reviews. If that happens, I hope people also hear from the students who weren't placed, because their experiences deserve to be heard too.

This isn't a hate post. It's my genuine experience. Personally, I feel like I was scammed in a legal way.

Today I'm stuck. I don't know what my next step should be. If you're planning to join, don't rely only on reels, YouTube videos, or placement posts. Talk to students who didn't get placed as well, then decide.
