I'm not sure I necessarily want to be a programmer, but I do want to be able to program and understand these technologies better for my own curiosity. If there ends up being money in that somehow, that's cool too.

we can do this dont give up

happily/sadly I've already been a programmer for 20 years. If you don't love coding, don't do it it will be hard

Hello! Where did that really nice visual representation of the bubble algorithm come from? It was around minute 4.

Left when he made the DEI comment. Buh bye. Why does every techie think he’s smarter than Bill Gates?

I was probably 12-13 years old when I got a Commadore 64 to play games on. But then I got interested in programming it (basic and asm). It was my hobby. And as a software engineer today it is still more like a hobby to me than work because I love it. So get paid great money for my hobby 😀

i don;t enjoy anyting i just hate coding less

Problem solving. That's the crux. Programming is just a small subdomain of problem solving. And as a trainer, it's mostly where things go bad. Most people DON'T think the "right way". Fastest way to get some insight on people is to give them a small problem that doesn't require any special knowledge but requires them to think about it. "Potential developers" will show a certain type of thought process as they go from A to B. People with little to no potential will be either all over the place or plain stuck.

gonna make the clip of chopped and screwed TUTORIAL HELL my ringtone (I use a land-line)

are you sure the name wsn't LigmyNutz?

Like!

Bro looks like a hipster Primeagen

Man I love your videos so much. Holy crap. Great work as always Forrest.

I am a programmer and I want not to be a programmer, how do I do know ?

Chat bots and youtube tutorials are best for piecing the puzzle together. it's like learning to read before you learn to write. It's a terrible idea to learn how to program by typing aimlessly in the terminal expecting results. Tutorial hell is following a video, screen switching, and copying while you have no idea of the fundementals. I'd compare it people repeating a forign language as they hear it and expecting to know the meaning if they repeat it more without the words ever being translated.

learn C, javascript , then rust, in that order. It covers embedded systems, cyber security, game development, and Web Development.

I think if I was completely new to programming I wouldn't know what CI or anything is and "just building" something would be kind of impossible. How could I tell my grandma to "just build a website" from scratch there are definitely some steps missing. But I get the gist. I just don't know if beginners would.

As a lazy clever developer, I just wanna say "You good Sir, is a Genius."

To those who are seeking to create a new project and don't know what to do, pick anything! A majority of stuff you learn on one project will carry over to the next. Making gui applications do carry from desktop to mobile, embedded does carry over to games and other low level apis. Don't worry and just start!

I personally never use version control, seems like a tons of waste of time. If I made a mistake, I try to first find it and if its to deep in the solution, I start over. There is no point in switching between versions. If I want it fixed then I need to figure out a solution, not pretend that I am working.

5:00 only 5 min to grow back his beard.

Love the timestamps lol

Thank goodness you mentioned the whole reddit skew towards doom and gloom. Thought I was going crazy after checking a job site and then checking reddit. Complete different reality.

What is the status of your side project?

The way windows handles path was sufficient for me to switch over to Linux. And I'm lovin' it.

what was the keyboard in the thumbnail? it looked super slick

alternative thumbnail title: don't watch if you're an old programmer

A great video! And a great motivation!

For MERN stack dive into Odinproject. You learn a lot of stuff over there!

I think you looked waaay better without the mustache..idk about the long hair tho

amazing video bro, thanks! I'm Designer that wants know the basics of programming to communicate better with my team of devs and of course, building some cool things

Can you make a video on how to crack coding interviews?

Why i have to go trough hard staff again my mode is straithforward i don't give shit argument about enviction

It's so fucking long operAble system system need input output ? Why would some one want it

I don't know what the fuck is operating system what is shell what is kernel

The SE/SD job market is TRASH

Noooooo. Why shave the beard?????

Thanks a lot ForestKnight, your videos always helped me unravel the coding world. Keep it up!

For the Job Fair thing, that actually wouldn't work for the college I went to. You had to sign in with your student ID in order to get into the Job Fair.

WE NEED MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS🗣️🗣️🔥🔥

My first app I wrote was a VT terminal emulator working over serial ports. This was 1991. This is before networks and the internet. I did this in Turbo C. Been a C programmer ever since. In terms of IDE I've used C++ Builder since 1998. Nothing else really.

Love Heartbound music

This is a good video to have out there. Also, really enjoy your take on it all! Especially the part on the importance of enjoying it.

first view

First comment!

First

First one to comment and like the video for real

Dont watch thia first 7 minutes complaining about other youtubers dont showing how it actually is the day of a software developer and saying that they just want you to watch tbe video, he is doing the same, video could have been answered in 3 minutes

Man that was a very well-structured, comprehensive explanation. Thank you!

Is it hard or i'm stupid
