i was just thinking about building a flash card app that does exactly what you just described. Most flashcard apps out there do not send you questions to remember via push notifications until you launch the app. brilliant content as always. I just subscribed

This video is well packed up, I need this at this stage of my career. Giving out information doesn't just come with knowledge learnt in some video or something but experiences gathered over the years. Thank you Travis

[@cody_codes_youtube]

Heeey man this is some solid advice. I’ve given some of this advice to friends as well. I like how you talked through your thoughts. Different than how I word it but I like it!

[@RelatableArtist1]

Nice video, you just earned a sub, I am currently learning python but I don't know what tech path I want to follow, rather I don't know what I want to do in tech, I really confused, any advice or tip?

[@charank7852]

Hi Travis, Can you please do a video on " Best Udemy courses for SRE" ?

[@nivekdelapena]

hi Travis, would like to get your suggestion on how can i find coding exercises related to a certain technology for practice, im studying Vue 3 now and videos on KZbin doesn't provide exercises or activities. TIA

Always wisdom thanks travis media

Hi Travis, I've thoroughly enjoyed watching your channel. Thank you! I am slowly leaning in to development. You mentioned about studying Python first, and then possibly the first 2 AWS CLOUD certifications. ( I bought several on UDEMY.) I am having great difficulty trying to figure out what particular skills one needs to get a python developer, CLOUD dev, or something else? What additional tech skills would one need that would put you in GOOD shape? Any particular courses be prudent? It's very difficult to read between the lines of what TECH SKILLS are necessary to begin small projects, open source, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

HELP? PLEASE

[@samys288]

Excellent video, regarding the reading of new books; do you have any average on how many books should be read per month or year?

Hi there, I am looking into a career change. I am 36 and interested in pursing this. In all honesty, I don't want to regret if I was to be in my death bed so I am taking a chance for myself. My question is, where is a good place to start? And with being pro-active for 2024, what can I do to be prepared?

[@lillyinthefield2787]

QUES ?????? CAN ANYONE HELP ME. IS THERE A VIDEO ON HOW TO USE THE CODE EDTIORS SUBLIME OR VS CODE FOR A NEWNIE ????

[@atetraxx]

Based advice. Do you have a fastapi book recommendation?

[@johnnycincocero]

What's a good podcast?

[@PetyrC90]

You don't know any of these you advocate for.
