Dave Johns never entered in to any university.
He got degree of general electronics from technical college name unknown.
He worked as trainee in to a company which did electronics design, for a short period and he got fired.
As soon he got fired he started the Blog.
7-years ago the Australian company closed down.
And Dave is making 7-figures/year now.

Stackexchange fails dismally where subtle points can and should be debated to and fro.

Stack Exchange and Stack Overflow are incredibly toxic places in my opinion, I wouldn't participate there if you paid me. I hate those sites where popular topics bubble to the top and you end up with a handful of obsessive people who become powerful on the forum by spending SO much time posting. They are also incredibly dry and boring, there is no discussion, just answers to questions.

Care to cite specific examples? Because this hasn't been my experience at all.

Oh Trader, you made me laugh. Nothing you said there was correct, you couldn't even get Dave's name right.  :palm:

Let's make a comprehensive list, this is fun!

I don't like your haircut.

Probably the hardest I've laughed when reading this forum. 

Also I don't like watching Dave's videos on a cheap 30" TV.  Dave needs to supply good TVs for his viewers.

He's actually right on that some times. I often deliberately fudge the complicated details.
And I can almost guarantee there is an error in every one of my videos. Welcome to off the cuff video making.
