VLSI is a very, very specialized field, I wouldn't expect something like EDA to be popular outside, say, the FPGA hobbyist community. Not much incentive to make videos. You'd be better off doing some sort of training course from some professional agency.
People who know VLSI design well either learn it at university or at work. -
@bkwilliams yes

@QuanticoCEO I don’t think we do that in the US anymore.

I have a hunch: there's this test called GATE that you need to pass to get graduate admission into a lot of Indian colleges. Some guy figured out he'd condense semester long courses on microelectronics into a shitty 30min video that'd be just enough to get you through the exam without shitting your pants. Others seeing this as an opportunity, added more shitty videos until it all became a shit storm. I mean, all you need to make a youtube video these days is a smartphone and internet both of which are cheap in India, and us Indians love the idea of getting something for nothing, even if that something is too little to make any sense to pursue.
-
@hitko Nope, most of the videos are so bad that I can't imagine them getting employed at a proper vlsi job, let alone a good one.
-
@rithvikp Well obviously, if they were any good (by EU / US standards), they could get jobs outside India, or get international companies to outsource those jobs to India.

@git-gud VLSI ..
Very large scale integration ... how silicon chips are made
Seriously? WHY THE FUCK, are there no English speaking, no god damn accent tutorial videos on YouTube regarding VLSI design, or hell even any of the fucken layout tools ... allllllll of them in very strong Indian accent .. OR not even spoken in English... the fuck folks? Some of them are “ok” to understand but I can’t get past the accent of speeding up and slowing down, and repeating the words and phrases, and then emphasizing shit like a question, but turning it into a unneeded statement, emphasizing the wrong shit... uggh I just wanna pull my fucken hair out.
Americans either are keeping VLSI knowledge a secret.. or nobody who fucken speaks English knows wtf they doing.. and that’s scary.
