coding is different from other fields in that you really have to be all-in, learn everything, practice all the time to keep your skill up. its not like going to college to be a teacher. you just gotta know the stuff. most colleges dont prepare you well for an overall career. - ya gotta do that in your offtime, outside of class. Or even before you go to college.

[@klemenkovacic9109]

@@scorch4299 and that is the most stressful thing if you consider it properly. For your career, HIGH salary, you need to be doing what 99% are not. Missing out on people, parties, good social life... That's more of a life of a loner actually. I was i guess wtih a group one time, i've enojoyed is way more than being alone and it's harding pushing onward, but sometimes you level up with a company and sometimes alone. like at one point it becomes just so sad because you are literally sacrificing days months and years of your life to be able to make a living and be happy financially, that you dont realize there is more to life than just working. Travelling is a huge stress reliever imo, calms mind and soul, making friends and going all out on travels -with hard earned money makes it worth it tho. Better than spending out miserable days working for low income salaries live pay check to paycheck. anyway, the hardest part is optimizing your every day and routine. make it fun, make it enjoyable, anything you learn or advance on it, market it, promote yourself with it, get even higher earning jobs, open side business with someone who is willing to put in the hours and needs capital, be partners, after awhile quit the jobs, work on employing people to make money for you, travel, enjoy, get laid, order a cocktail, put your legs on the table and relax boss

This doesn't just apply to coding. If you get a job in accounting and you have dismal skills you'll learn on (and off) the job.

I'll be *that pedantic comment people hate* and point out that: Not everyone is born with the same inclinations, tendencies, intelligence etc. BUT do not mistake "self" with "what I like and don't like" or "how I behave for the last year". You might be depressed, but depression is not "you". There are also periods in life where you may be more open to new things than normally. Explore more, what you put in your brain shapes your personality and character. People make the mistake of thinking that their mood, taste, likes and dislikes are immutable throughout their life, and think that what they want to do now will stay the same. What we're fundamentally are is our biological makeup. The fact that this gets shaped through our experience is proof that it's more malleable than you think. And it keeps changing even past your 50's. But you're still yourself.

11:04 I've been thinking about this for the past week. The problem is that I am too self-aware. I can't stop beating myself up over the mistakes that I make resulting from my flaws, defects, shortcomings. It's a good thing, however, that I realize my mistakes and I analyze them, I try to learn from them. I ask myself what went wrong and why. I think everybody can do this, but some choose to sweep it under the rug. Being able to acknowledge your weaknesses and then combatting them is, while definitely scary, a necessity in order to progress. Last night, for the first time, I created a new text file and just brainstormed all of my thoughts in an attempt to organize/structure them because they became too many to handle. This is just the beginning of my journey, I guess. As they say, knowing the problem is half of the solution. I am slowly learning to better understand myself and what I want. I hope this will make me do things that I won't regret later on. Even if it was just a mere coincidence, this video popped up at the right time for me. Right now my mind is a bit of a mess but I have to power through and sort it out. I'm certain that I'm going to be in a much better spot after all this is done.

I’m a senior math and data science major, and I’m looking at a CS grad program. This video both adds to and decreases some of my fears! So much jargon that I don’t know, but also I agree with what you say “nothing is unlearnable”. Thanks for the video!

[@sarahli6425]

So proud of you Joma, this is so inspiring!

[@Solruc_]

I'm one semester away from graduating from CS, in an internship on a nice company and I got the offer to continue here. I was thinking I was set up for success, but I had the lingering thought in my mind if this is really what I want to do. Thanks for your words, now I know I'm not alone, and I just have to continue doing what I'm doing: doing stuff, building good stuff.

[@Capitan_Chaos]

How is it going? Did you graduate?

This is the most hilarious, most inspirational video ever lmao. Thoroughly enjoyed this. As someone on this same path, i needed this. You're awesome

[@RadoslavPetkov-tl2dv]

Hey Joma Tech, I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you. This year has been incredibly tough for me-I didn’t make it into one of the top CS bachelor’s programs in Europe, and I’ve been struggling to find a job. But your content has been a huge inspiration during these challenging times. Your videos remind me that setbacks are just part of the journey and that perseverance is key. I may have hit some bumps along the road, but I’m not giving up. I’m going to keep pushing forward, learning, and growing, and one day, I know I’ll reach my dream job as a software engineer at Google. Thanks for being such a motivating force in my life. Keep up the great work!

[@MatttKelly]

As I'm applying for internships this seems to be so relevant. The experience you need for software jobs is almost entirely gained through actual working. School has taught me what i need to be successful when learning new engineering concepts but in no way did it train me for what its gonna be like the day i sit down at my own desk and start writing code.

[@flashv4941]

True. Plus computer science is theory base rather than actual practical experience. Practical experiences comes from personal projects and work

[@MatttKelly]

@@flashv4941 i agree i always feel like its such an open ended field, no one can possibly learn everything yet the more you understand it at a fundamental level the better you are at it i guess. I still have a long way to go 😅

Yet, your message emphasizes the importance of being proactive in pursuing my goals. Thank you for being so inspiring Joma.

[@vinchinzowilson1794]

This video is amazing ! it gave me a different perspective on goals in life and how it changes over time base on the different jobs you work at. More so, once the pandemic happen a shift happened for everyone and things they had went away. School, Work, Car, College ect. In addition, working at odd jobs just to keep the bills paid and humbling your self to find individuals to help you while you’re struggling helps you understand different people and how they can help you find what you really want in life. Lastly, like you mentioned in the video jobs that you’re not really interested in somehow tied to the job or jobs that interest you by working really hard at learning it and asking God for guidance and understanding for the next chapter in life. Thank you my dude, continue to stay blessed in the faith !

[@eunicemapong9514]

Thanks a million Joma for this amazing and inspiring piece. This is very much what I needed. I appreciated every bit of what you said, especially when you talked about being recruited as a software engineer meanwhile you've not being coding for some time back then. I can totally relate to that, being in that exact same situation right now. The imposter syndrome just kills me every time I think about my new job because I just feel like there's so much stuff I have to catch up with and it's so hard bearing these feelings. Anyways, thanks for that relieving statement you said : "Anything is learnable, as long as you sit back, read and practice."👌🏻👌🏻 Just guess I have to be patient with myself and actually take a step at a time on this dreadful journey😅

[@itmm92]

I am also a SE and I feel proximity with your learning path, "work is just work", "be self-aware to make better decisions", "be proactive to achieve what you want", "show results" this is ultimately good lessons for life: understand that we need balance, know ourselves better and chase what we want for living with quality regarding our dreams. And it's true what they usually say, soft skills are more required than anything else, because everything else you can easily learn (with time) and it will probably be enough to do you work. You can be an expert, but if you are an asshole who doesn't know how to work in a team, you will probably be excluded from the project or even the company. Show passion and being proactive will also push you forward in you career, if you have the right people checking on you, they will notice and you will be rewarded somehow, recognized by your own value.

A few days ago I saw a video of your. I suppose YT recommended me this channel as I've been getting into programming in the past few months. I have changed my path and ways from arts, to coding, still uncertain if I am headed to a right path. @11:04 you truly struck a beautiful thought. I never expected this in a humours Tech channel. For the better it made me think some things through. I wanted to let you know that your words really have power.

[@deependarjangid8370]

Joma: many people make such similar vidoes on this topic........ we: But your one was literally GREAT! Straight to point

[@YXNGSHARK]

I felt the last part especially hard “..because successful outcomes, in the end, are pretty much luck. If you want to succeed it's a numbers game like rolling the dice. So keep rolling the dice. You can't control the outcome of your dice rolls but you can control what dice you use and the more you work on yourself the more the dice become weighted to your advantage, so eventually you'll hit JackPot! 🎰 ..as long as u keep rolling the dice you'll archive success, whatever that means for you, specifically” 🎲 That resonated very well with me and it reminded me of an Albert Einstein quote which reads “God does not play dice” I guess you can see why and the analogy is pretty obvious but in case you don't get it let's put it like this: See, in the way that people ultimately improve themselves by constantly evoluting themselves and becoming a better version of themselves, learning and thriving on the knowledge and enjoyment of creation due to constant effort and actual realness I feel like man / woman / humanity in itself and one themselves can find a spark of divinity and therefore becoming a part of God or the conscious/ness of God, becoming ultimately not only able to change their individual fate but (possibly), by chance rolling the dice so much and so often and reiterating themselves that they can change the fate of an / their entire species and (possibly) create new meaning and life entirely..Out of nowhere, just like that

[@abracadaddy3915]

Very inspiring. In my 3rd year of college, want to go into a career in finance (economics major but I was very into CS in high school), and the internship process is seriously stressing me out. I’ve been applying and doing virtual interviews since March and I have yet to receive an offer. I’ll have spurts of disappointment and almost depression because of the success that I see around me and I’ve been close to quitting before because it’s discouraging to receive rejection after rejection. I thought I wanted to go down this path but I really don’t know what I want or even what I like (I seem to be indecisive that way). This video definitely gave me some much needed confidence and hopefully things start looking up soon career-wise.

[@abelgreen5046]

I’m on the other spectrum. Graduated with an applied math degree working in finance and want out desperately. I’ve been studying Python and C++ for a few months now and I’m feeling like I’m not getting anywhere. Looking for jobs, prepping for interviews, competing against others and watching people around you succeeding in their roles while your struggling to find your path and all the feelings of inadequacies that follow can be so overwhelming. I hope you’ve found some success since you posted this, or are at least moving in that direction, but know that you are not alone

Sounds like you've had quite myriad of Interesting experiences, never would've have thought from watching your videos. I've come across the channel via some of satirical clips that were trending, and never seen those early coding videos. Love the fact that you acknowledge luck as factor in your success (multiple times), not to diminish the importance of hard work of course. So few people even mention luck as if it would somehow belittle their intellectural capabilities. Even though everyone knows, for every opportunity we got in life, there were probably 10 other people who worked just as hard (if not harder) and just as qualified and perhaps more deserving as we would be, but somehow the wind was blowing in the right direction for us. Love the new pivot with the channel, keep up the good work!
