Awesome video I just came across it. I am going to school for Web & Mobile Development and my laptop is too old (11 years old ASUS) so I am looking to upgrade but on a budget. Noticed that Walmart & Best Buy offer the M1 Macbook Air 8GB RAM for $699. Do you think this would work fine for what I need to do or will 8GB RAM not be enough? Considering the price difference to get more RAM on another model. Thank you.

As a CS Degree holder who's struggling to land any job six that uses my education years after graduation, I'm not sure how applicable lots of this advice is.

Universities provide proof, proof that you can finish a program, and proof that you know the basics. As many new grads found out, you still need to push forward to get the experience needed to land an entry level job (Not that you are seeking an entry level job). No one can tell you how to live your life, but that's what a degree is, a proof of competency. You still need to go forth and update yourself to the current state of technology. My only disappointment with Universities is how tied they are with capitalism.

Why did you choose thomas over wgu cs program?
@jamescross
@jamescross 2 күн бұрын
Main reason was Thomas Edison had more flexibility with scheduling. WGU is less flexible with its 6 full time blocks. Also, WGU courses are fixed. You don't get the electives options. However, per my comments in the video, TESU doesn't have as many options as I would have hoped. My prior history degree covered more credit hours at TESU. If I didn't already have a degree and was determined to go an online route, it would probably be WGU. Disclaimer: I worked at WGU before coming to Adobe.

While it's unfortunate you decided to quit, I completely agree with your conclusions. Probably around 90% of the CS courses I've taken were useless. It's exactly as you said - teaching the history of AI instead of building one; learning about paradigms in software engineering when we had never made a project longer than 200 lines of code, etc. The good courses were Databases, Data Structures and Algorithms, the web development ones, and Networking (although barely useful as it didn't really go in depth). Maybe there were a couple more that I'm forgetting. It's the sad reality for many degrees though. Most consist mostly of theory and very little practice, only to later be told, "Oh, you expected more? Sign up for one of our master's programs." (btw they're no better) In my opinion, degrees make sense when you're young and have no work experience since a degree can somewhat offset the lack of experience. While you're young, you still have no idea what you want to do in life, so the 4-6 years (if you go for a master's) you get can be used for making those decisions. It's a good thing you gave it a try, though! It takes some bravery to quit. Most people just get stuck in the sunk cost fallacy mindset.

Great vid, ive been curious about those places too, ultimately i went back to brick and mortar school last summer/fall. I was on the same boat when it came to atleast math. Retook college algebra as a refresher (i was ultimately bored enough to get a c), took trig and killed it, then failed calc 1 first attempt and looking at finishing up in a couple of weeks. If you're finding yourself nerverous about math and retaining it across multiple classes, one thing that has really been carrying me this semester after failing last semester has been mycalcworkshop. Its a subscription but she has so many classes covered and even goes more in depth than my classes but the real kicker is just great she is at explaining and not taking prerequisite material for granted. I never hit a wall like before of being like wtf how does that work? And go spend forever trying to find some youtube video that just happens to explain the one particular situation tripping me up. Anyways best of luck, look forward to future updates

I bought the MX Keys Mini and used it for just a month and it suddenly goes haywire! The backlights keeps on blinking like crazy even when I'm not touching it! So annoying that I gave it away to my friend and bought the Apple Magic Keyboard. For my own point of view, I personally felt that the Apple Magic Keyboard is much comfortable to use though......

Went to college once, failed out. Went back 3 years later for CS degree and graduated with a 3.8. Don’t love the job I landed but love the courage it gave to start my journey of game development. I now know my passion is developing games. Which I thought I was “too dumb” to do four years ago. After I took my first semester and had HTML/CSS and Python I was hooked on coding, but that quickly became boring until I transferred those skills to game development. (My assignments were things like cleaning data, managing API, setting up servers, deploying VM, python and HTML basics. That just got stale for me - as for work it’s just numbers and excel sheets with some python/pandas for data cleaning.

i got a dell latitude workstation for $170 on Amazon refurb. It's a $700 laptop. No GPU but everything else. Its a good coding notebook. I also have a late 2015 retina macbook pro it's macos 12 monterey and i'm having issues getting xcode installed. i had to download an old version and the download is sluggish for some reason over my 1 gig/ sec network it is turning the download into a 3 hr download. i have a desktop where i create youtube videos, essentially editing in 4k and 1080p and rendering in 4k. The PC is a work station and gaming PC and works well for Photoshop and Video Rendering / Editing like Da Vinci Resolve. I got the macbook pro for $250 refurbed on ebay. I took a gamble on the battery but its good. It did not come with an A/C adapter and I had to drop $30 on that at my local PC store instead of Amazon.

Hey, I to have had some trouble with the same. I'm Joseph from Kenya and on writing this I'm 18. I've been coding for fun for a while and I realized that I've gone into an unhealthy loop where I'm stuck in tutorial hell and it got to a point where I haven't made any progress in a while. However I've found a way out I know that I may still be young but to anyone out there, decide on a language and just learn it and other general CS rules then do projects to re-enforce the knowledge. I agree with the video and you should just start. Knowing that it may not be easy but neither does the true understanding of something come over night. Keep on keeping on !

I'm 49 and I used to teach ICT for 8 years, I thought about learning advanced web development as I was teaching the basics of graphic design and other related topics like basic Python, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, WordPress, and Graphic Design. I got off track as some friends wanted to open a digital marketing agency, but after a few years I realized that my work was really depressing me (so many liars and BS in digital marketing it's unreal). I'm American and living in Malaysia so I need to find remote work, recently it's gotten impossible to get a job in MY (no degree and no money right now as I lost my family when I was young and taught myself everything I know about tech growing up on the streets in San Francisco). I also grew up doing construction, always been a jack of all trades master of none, but my passion has always been learning to program and I love art and design. So, 49, American living overseas, feeling like a burden as I can't help support my wife and so. So, I'm giving this all I got, raised enough cash to do the Meta Coursera frontend course and backend course (I like the idea of being full stack as I want to have the ability to create whatever I want for web apps and later maybe even learn flutter. I'm just about to pass the section with Angela Yu from App Brewery, but I look at KZbin for people like you to inspire me to keep going. My timeline feels like I'm falling behind, going a bit slower than I had hoped, but taking the time to understand a minimum of 50% or more before moving on (I realize as long as I have a good grasp and understand most of tough concepts like Flexbox and CSS Grid I can always improve later. I'm going after the MERN stack so it's HTML, CSS, JS, React, Node.js, Redux, PostgreSQL, and be a bit familiar with MySQL and MongoDB as well when I have the time or need. So, that's my story, damn, that was a lot, guess feeling a bit stressed but stay pushing through studying around 8 hours or more per day. When I'm down 6-8, when I'm feeling good 10-15 (I mean I used to do 12-15 hour days working construction so right now I'm treating learning as my job, that I don't get paid for, yet:😁) I totally get you about the support from wife and kid, and just having to push through on those rough days, everything you said I can totally relate to, but luckily I taught kids and did corporate training so I know how to make hard concepts sound better, and I may not have a degree but I have a wide knowledge of tech and even completed the Google IT Support Professional Certificate (just realized that full-stack is my goal, I love solving problems and sometimes I'd rather just read code than talk to people all day, lol😆) frontendmentor.io has a ton of small projects that you can work on for free as well
