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

[@CanOWhoopAz]

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. Get a construction job and you'll learn how they do things unique to them. JUST APPLY FOR THE JOB!!! Even if you don't know everything about it, sometimes they just need a warm body to train to fit.

Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way. Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet - will seem to rise from the dead - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one. One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist. Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.

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.

"One of the best skills to work on in your life is the ability to be self-aware and understand yourself just like coding sports or video games it all comes down to practice the more you work on trying to understand yourself the more you'll be literate in your own emotions and having that understanding of yourself will allow you to make way better decisions" - Joma 2021

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.

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 !

That was an awesome video! Had it saved for a couple of weeks & finally watched it during my lunch break at work. I have worked in property development for about 5 years now & in the process of applying to university to potentially study Computer Science.

Subscribed. Thank you. Really this was awesome to watch as I try to transition into tech. Keep it up!

[@proyectocultural4679]

That's actually great advice! "The ability to be self-aware and understand yourself" is so important. Very well said!

[@jaribrivas4040]

Thanks for sharing this with us, Joma. The other day I was talking to a mentor of mine who helped train me as a project engineer at my current job. One day I told him I was not fulfilled with my current job even though at this point I’ve moved up quickly in the company. His response was discouraging and surprising, as I was hoping to hear something inspirational like in your video. Great job with great money, but it just wasn’t for me. Now I’m changing careers, to chase my dreams and continue rolling the dice.

[@Celine-dd8nx]

What was your mentor's response?

your “favorite interview question” video reinvigorated my interest in software engineering, thank you for that boost. also the hair rocks

I started coding and it was a love hate. Thought I didn't have to do it anymore as I switch interests but they all had a bit of coding involved. Until I enrolled into IT I just realized how coding just keeps finding a way back in my life.

[@rafikshaheen9437]

Hey I was thinking of going into IT what do you think of the program?

[@ProGamer-he5kf]

@@rafikshaheen9437 same I just want to code.

[@uziboozy4540]

Well I'm on the edge to "quit" coding and instead focus fully on cloud engineering. There's so many various ways of writing code that it simply becomes too much of an obstacle to work with people that does things differently, in my case people that are old-school and don't wanna learn new technology or tools.

[@animus4487]

personally I was pessimistic about online class due to covid and I was right assuming it would be more compliance than actual learning any curriculum will have general subs (like math in comsci)take up most of your work so you can't "just want to code" but if like me you enjoy some gen subs it will be bearable and it gets credited which is helpful when moving to a better university if you don't have the money for college you could always do Joma Class or free courses on youtube honestly learned a lot more on my own and picked up 3D graphics, virtualization, and azure because I wanted to learn so depending on your situation and your will to learn you can go the distance

I really appreciate Joma's honesty, and I do believe this video reveal sth deeper. I'm in my senior year as a CS student in China, and I'm gonna start applying for the graduate programs in the US.

Really enjoyed the video, I’ve been in tech since 2012 now too and agree with all your points. Big thing I’ve learnt is don’t chase money as it leads you into roles or positions that will effect your work/life balance and effect your mental health. Decided what your end goal is today and draw a plan to get there, if it changes rewrite your plan and don’t fret.

Joma no joke I love all your videos even the coding ones and honestly I could give a shit about tech on that level. Its your humor paired with how genuine and ridiculous you can be at the same time. Without sounding weird I feel like you are the type of person I naturally gravitate toward to just act silly and talk about dumb shit for a laugh. I am never surprised to hear the growth and insight that you share from your personal experiences and I am touched to hear you drop the knowledge you have manifested along the way. I think you’re great man. Keep following your passion because its really inspiring especially to this 40 yr old Silicon Valley man child 😂😂

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.
