This same week, Egghead (https://egghead.io) started offering $500 lifetime access to everything they ever made or will make. There's definitely some excellent material in their catalog. But the signals sure seem to point toward the decline of centralized human-created coursework.

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 But that experience (5+ years ago) is quite possibly out of date.

Whose lifetime?

(meta: genuinely curious why my observation was downvoted. I may take a further karma hit for mentioning it but worth it if it elicits a meaningful response. what gives?)

At a guess, because it sounds like a product pitch and these 'lifetime payment things' are ALWAYS curtailed if the product actually survives.

I didn’t downvote you, but lifetime offerings tend to be a red flag.

		Agreed! (That's why I mentioned it in the context of TFA.) Thanks for replying tho
