are yu sniffing coke lol

It depends. It took me 1 year to get the hang of it.

Miss you on this platform, Chris! Hope you come back someday but when/if you're ready

I am 47 and starting over in life and I am all in on it. I am starting out with python to learn that first then I will work on JS and html later on. Learning it is hard for me but I am willing to put in the work to do it though.

I will come back here and tell you that I got my first job as frontend dev see u soon guys

Not gonna lie, ot was hard listening to this. I aspire and dream to be a software engineer, because of the art of it. This video is a wake up call. Thank you for your guidance, this is humbling.

Okay I have a question if money isn't the problem then what should you recommend?

You talk that talk. These ads make it seem like getting a career in software is some get rich quick scheme. Nice to see someone shed light on how difficult the journey is.

I learned by myself for almost 2 years, and I didn’t know how to use a debugger, and I used the print statement to debug my programs. However, after enrollment in an online degree program, I learned how to use debugger and my programming now is more efficient. I feel I learned a lot in the program

Thanks Chris for this, I'm really glad I listened to this and I hope not to quite.

I got my 1st job as a feontend react dev a year ago after 10 months of hustle, self taught no CS degree no bootcamp. Its doable but i was learning my ass pff for 10 hours a day. Now year later i am backend developer, completely new field, i am still learning....

Inspiring

I've learned the hard way, people who have no skin in the game will not appreciate what you do for them. The fact that the guy was complaining about his situation was a clear indicator he was more interested in finding an excuse than finding a way. I have mentored developers and have found they're able to do it on their own with a little guidance. So chalk this up as a learning experience. The same goes for volunteering. I've donated my time to help non-profits and it's usually a colossal waste of time. My stance now is I am very careful as to what I volunteer for and I usually wait for someone to ask me for help instead of offering it. Your heart is in the right place. You need to focus on where your talents are best utilized and appreciated.

7:58 Facts!!!! Finally a real down to earth answer not catered to getting more views. When I first started to learn how to code I was discouraged after 4 months because according to all of the "get a 300k a year coding job in 6 months!" videos I was way behind. I'm past that point now thinking more realistically and am practicing and going to continue to put in work so I can have an at least comfortable life in the future

i did an exercise 4 months ago and yesterday i redid it, and i was shocked by the improvement... both work, but 4 months later i better know how things work. what over 2 years.. or 5 years. im going for it :)

Definitely more authentic, raw unedited content. 🤙

its nice to hear someone be pretty straight ( at least in comparison to the other influencers) about doing it for the money.

I drive truck otr. I have time lol. This is Awesome 🎉

Yea ok .FANG is mainly asians and Hindu with degree's.Stop the cap.If Degrees didnt matter their families wouldnt push for them to get one and they wouldnt be the majority at the FANG companies.Im so tired of these big head guys coming up here purposely steering people in the wrong direction.

Hi can I have your email or social media platform for contact? For a business Purpose.

Chris I’ve seen your 2021 interview at Bethel Tech just recently. Now I can’t get enough of your podcast. I listen to you and your interviews everyday now. I’m a 50 year old filipino just finished the Bethel Tech Full-Stack Program. Your podcast has stirred up a lot of passion in me in terms of aiming to be the best coder I can be. Keep up the great conversations. You are being a blessing to a lot of people more than you think. I hope I can meet you someday and have just a chill conversation about life. Thank you for being available to us as a witness that proves there is more meaning to life if one will work hard not just for the money but for an ultimate purpose. Thank you!

*You work for 40yrs to have $1m in your retirement, Meanwhile some people are putting just $10k in a meme coin for just few months sometimes lesser and now they are multi millionaires.* *I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life* ✊🏻❤️

its fcking hard but its worth it! Thanks for the motivation!!

bootcamp will not teach you C and operating system.

I invite you to islam my bro

Watched the whole way through. Thanks for the motivation to put in the work!

I usually don't watch your channel but this was a good video.

Why not both

I’m gonna be honest with you. It’s possible he felt like he simply didn’t have what it takes. I’m learning code and on some days I feel like I am doing well. But there’s always this part in me that keeps reminding myself, that there’s so much more harder material then what I’m doing at the moment and other people who can do it a 100 times better than I can. Sometimes that just eats away at you, I have a friend who has a career in this stuff, and I never talk to him about it because I just feel like a fool compared to what he knows.

Thank you 🙏🏽

I feel so discouraged by how over saturated tech is now cause of tik tok and people being money hungry.

I remember Chris first interview 😂

Great content, have a safe trip ✈️

Love ya Chris. You’ve been mine and thousands of other’s inspiration for years. Always appreciate these gems you drop 🙌🏽

devving is hard af lol i been at it for 18 months, got a job in tech and made redundant and still feel like im a baby lol and now im like fully getting into linux, i have learnt so much tho. never quitting!

Alot of people are in there situation because they are just weak flops. This fella displayed weak flop behaviour. Fuck'em

No good deed goes unpunished.

You say you're making $200k with only 7 years experience? I call BS. Prove it dude. Show us all your paystubs. Anyone can come on here and spew BS. You (and many other "creators") are misleading people with videos like this and making them think they are going to learn to code and all of a sudden be making all of this $$$,$$$. Just look at the disappointment in the comments. Yes, there are some that will make top (market) dollar but those would be the top performers. If you were a top performer I seriously doubt you'd have time to be making videos. Maintaining a salary like that requires constant learning and there are only so many hours in a day. Hypothetical: Let's say you are making $200k with only 7 years experience. How much would 10 years experience be making? 15 years? 20 years? 30 years??? Do you really think that salaries like this for one person are sustainable for even a big company? Well, no they are not apparently. You just witnessed not too long ago the big tech companies let thousands of people go. That should open your eyes man. Someone making $200k in only 7 years has pretty much "hit the ceiling" early in their career. Next step would be management but that is a whole other animal. You said it yourself that you can't find $200k jobs anymore and chances are that you won't. Competition is one of the biggest reasons why especially with all of the people recently laid off from big tech. If this post bothers anyone than you are most likely inexperienced and/or immature. Think logically and be real.

Hey there! Cheers from Argentina (yeah, I feel you when you said Inflation). I'm 44 and started learning to code (again) at mids 42 with The Odin Project! I almost finish the NodeJS section and has been quite a journey and still !! I hope in the next month or so I will start the job hunting! So anyway, GREAT content here and I been watching your videos from time to time on my free time =) Keep with the good work and good luck!!!

You did your part. He needs to show up. Don’t feel bad, you were being a good person!!
