The most interesting thing about Brad, is that he always cares for newbies. ❤️

[@vrildox-to7ir]

Yah i like that about him

[@TraversyMedia]

I think it's because I understand that overwhelming feeling when learning. I learn A LOT of different things so I am always a newbie at something. I have always wanted to be the teacher that that makes a person go from feeling "dumb" to making it "click" in their head and feel that joy of learning something 🙂

that is good, fewer and fewer do, at least in the circles i frequent. They either don't care or they thing the newbies should suffer because they did and that is how they got to be this "superb miracle of a dev"...

Great advice, and thank you for what you do.

I dropped out of high school in 1999. Two years later I got my GED and went to a Tech school and got an associates in computer science. I've since spent about 11 years doing nothing with it other than a few things here and there but then around 2014 I started watching KZbin tutorial videos and teaching myself different languages. A year later I got a job as an engineer in a chip fab, to then a data analyst at one of the biggest soda companies in the country, to now a web app developer for a billion dollar a year company after learning PHP and JavaScript really well Keep pushing guys... It will happen if you just. Keep. Pushing. If I can do it, anyone can.

Hey Im glad you are still going at it. I've been a professional developer for 5 years now and when I was learning I went through a lot if your tutorials, and your story in general kept me motivated.

That's awesome! Congrats. It isn't an easy thing to stick with. Glad I could have helped in any way 💙

[@brad3201]

I was able to learn enough HTML and PHP from your KZbin and Udemy courses to get my first internship. I had only taken one C++ coding class at that point. That was 3 years ago. Now I’m working full time as a software dev!

[@TraversyMedia]

Nice! so cool to hear.

[@RajatSaraswat9]

Coding is not easy but continuous practice makes it easier. Some people understand it better than others while others take a little longer to get there which leads to imposter syndrome. I believe if you don’t compare yourself with others and keep practising, you’ll get there eventually!

[@araskoca8172]

yeah true i guess. as a person who did HTML and CSS and other small python projects, i feel like a total dumb right know in my first weeks of university as a data science student, and i have an exam this monday.

[@goku_bbkha]

[@chris94kennedy]

you're a genuine and authentic kind of guy. its not by accident that your style resonates with literally millions of us. Though I don't really watch your channel much any more because my domain has moved slightly away from your content type, I learnt some core fundamentals from you, so I can safely say you positively impacted my career. Thanks Brad.

[@rainbowtouch797]

As someone who has been struggling, being stuck in a dead end help desk role, with anxiety and depression slowly crippling in, even the bare minimum of 30 minutes of learning per day leads me towards downspiral, why even try, the competition and market place are so crowded and there are so many talented people, competing against AI and shit, I truly find a lot of comfort and encouragement hearing you speak. You're like a big brother I've never had but always wish I did.. Thank you for being there for us underdogs Brad, you the real one!!!

[@vectoralphaAI]

Honestly the main #1 contributor to imposter syndrome and those types of feelings is the job hunt/ the interview process. Companies make applying for developer jobs and doing interviews for these types of jobs a literal living hell that its mentally destroying.

[@reynold2]

My brother, if I can call you that, I am struggling just to explain how much you touched me. This is the second video of it's kind which you've made, that kept me riveted to the computer screen.

It's a really good break from starting at codes trying to learn programming that somehow pushes me more to learn. Thank you for your awesome work

[@repairstudio4940]

Such a positive and very honest video. The field can be overwhelming sometimes with new dev tools and the flood of new languages all with their own rules. Thanks, very inspiring! 😇

[@webdevluc]

Thanks for the inspiring talk Brad. Motivation is the spark and discipline is the oxygen that keeps the learning fire going. What I observed in my case is that I learn the easiest when I am humble and down to earth. Whenever pride gets in the way it usually gets harder and takes longer.

[@tonyzweb]

I remember stumbling upon Brad's channel waaay back in 2017 when I was first starting studying Computer Science in uni. I had no clue how to code, what to do in order to better myself, etc. Brad's videos were essential in helping me and I presume many others to find themselves jobs. Fast forward to this current day I'm a technical lead, so to anyone reading this that have second thougths and doubts...do it, take your time, grind and don't give up on your dreams. To Brad, I thank you sincerily for helping me!

[@culturedgator]

Your humility and kindness are an inspiration! Thank you for sharing, not only your hard work and knowledge with the internet, but also you personal experiences, with empathy, Brad. As an old career changer, I am seriously struggling right now. But always a joy watching your videos. I don't think that anyone is "dumb". Everybody has some powers and form of intelligence. It takes intelligence even to stay alive. Even self-"driving" cars can't do it with all the billions behind to replace humans! It's just sometimes a matter of self-awareness, inspiration, external motivation (money or life pressure), luck, and overall health: nutrition and a healthy mind, including staying curious and loving to learn and a challenge (in any field). Wishing you and yours more Peace, Health, Prosperity, and more Traversy Media productions :D

[@Ben-wn6by]

I just really want to give a huge thank you to you Brad! I am just starting my journey into being a developer, I am going through a bootcamp but also take your Udemy courses and watch your crash courses. I really like how you teach because I had never done anything with tech before now. I come from the world of construction and a family that has always said, "if you aren't doing physical work then you're not working". But, I have had Imposter syndrome every step of the way so far. I'm scared to do a completely different path for my career, but honestly, seeing videos like this one and the video you made about your past really inspire me to keep going and keep pushing! So yeah, thank you for your very down to earth and easy to understand teachings. Also, I may be able to understand how you teach better because I'm from Mass too! haha

Wow Brad, so glad to see you're still around, and still so down to earth! Your longevity in this space is admirable, way to go with the weight loss, I see you.😉👊🏽

[@nevengerencir6796]

I believe that people like us without official diploma can perform better because we are aware that we are in a weaker position from the start. Like my friends says "There are always gonna be people who just do their job and the ones that keep on biting". We should all turn our weakness to our strength and never forget where we come from. I am my first year into my IT job and I have a photo of me on my table next to my monitor - a photo of me making bread at 3 am at night with a big smile on my face. Coding is easy - manual job and hanging on the streets and not having not enough money to provide for your family is harder. Thanks Brad again for everything.

I really struggled understanding the MVC pattern of PHP and your first course of Laravel helped me understand it, I am now proficient with PHP and specially laravel. I do sometimes think I'm not smart enough and then take a break and look at my previous accomplishments and then think "a dumb guy could not have made all that" and go back full swing. I really appreciate your videos and you are a part of why I love programming soo much. Never stop teaching!

[@coenkuijpers1800]

The whole video I’ve been nodding. It’s so true what you’re saying. I’m not a newbie by any stretch, but still often I think people are so much smarter solving all these problems with seemingly no effort. Also about teaching your spot on. When I’m trying to explain something, I tend to leave out so much information because I think it’s so obvious, only to learn that it wasn’t.

[@chrishoward6360]

In a different video of yours you mentioned "imposter syndrome" and I'd never heard of it so I looked it up. I immediately realized that I'd dealt with that for my entire life - in programming but also before that, particularly with my schooling. I think there's a degree to which it actually contributed to my lower grades in grade school and high school as I was constantly preoccupied with the feeling that I could never aspire to the levels my high-achieving peers were reaching, and that was both distracting and deflating of any ambitiousness I could have had. So, thank you for bringing this issue into the light. As with all your videos this has been very helpful.

[@thomaswesleyscott4555]

Great timing on this video - I just had this happen to me yesterday! I was doing an online assessment for an internship (never had a job in the industry). It was a two question test, and halfway through the test, and struggling through the first question, I realized I read the question wrong. I not only couldn't find the answer to my problem, I was trying to solve the wrong problem! Anyway, I felt incredibly stupid - but rather than just give up on coding, I went back to my computer after and tried to solve the problem on my time (which I did) - so that felt great! Thanks for the video :)

Hey! Currently a little over a year in a full stack development course beside my other career. I'm now halfway there. Finished 4 out of 8 modules (HTML/CSS, Javascript, PHP/MySQL and Agile). It sometimes was/is so frustrating, that i indeed think/thought i was too dumb. Seeing this video really gives me a good feeling, knowing i don't need to know it all! Also, your crash course video's helped me a lot! And also your video on building strength from struggle, that was relatable. And now, step by step i'm learning to code and growing confidence. Hopefully i will finish my course in about 4 months and start a career in coding! Thank you for all the lessons i have learned from you and i'm still going to learn!

[@Cubrooski]

As a complete newb to programming. I'm currently going through your HTML & CSS class on Udemy. I've been an Aircraft Mechanic for almost 30 years. I can't imagine myself sitting down to a computer being able to program somethung operational and someone wanting to pay me for that. Brad has done a great job of explaining it and i get it for the most part and i know where to go to find the answers I need. I would my issue is more of self doubt than lack of intelligence.

[@motoboy6666]

The constant dealing with imposter syndrome and the constant change of the tools and technology is almost ruining the will to continue for me. Its like you cant be sure of anything and with that its hard to see your progress. Cant seem to find a mindset to deal with it and motivation is gone. Anyway, thanks for adressing this Brad!

[@HyperionStudiosDE]

I think you might be focusing on the wrong thing. Don't get attached to any single technology. Instead focus on your ability to learn and use technologies in a reasonable amount of time which isn't as hard as it sounds because the process is the same for most technologies. Also is there actually a requirement for your tools to change or do you just feel like it? Because personally I don't feel like there has been much change in webdev in the last 5 years.

[@Aldedandra]

I feel like I can relate to you, Brad. I was a B and C student in High School. I'm not the smartest person, but I finally got into IT around age 30 because i loved it as a hobby. I've never though im smarter than anyone and always been able to explain things as a noob, because that was once me. I've done some development over the years, but never felt smart enough. I'm wanting to make that career change, but have had awful imposter syndrome over the last month and seriously been questions and doubting myself. I needed to see this video. Thank you!

[@Code-Patis]

Thank you so much for this video, Brad. I'm a beginner in programming (one year an half learning and practicing) and boy, the Imposter Syndrome hits me big time most of the time, but I keep pushing through. 😊

[@yatin1370]

I remember the days when I used to think quite a while about understanding for loops / dreaded looping on arrays / getting riled up on things like constructor behaviours in inheritance.. I definitely don't pick up things quick and I take my time, searching all nooks and crannies...resolving all doubts...but I didn't give up. I have come quite a long way learning 3 languages since then and all I can say is its okay to take your time understanding things...coding is a lifestyle...you have to embrace it...not just read someone's code, but also write it yourself and see its results and break the code to understanding why it fails or works under certain conditions...get your hands dirty in your editors...practice wheneer you can.

[@paulkeene4]

Great video, Brad! I haven't tuned into your channel in a little while, but I just wanted to say you're looking great! Not sure if you've been working out, but whatever you're doing, it's working!

[@rpf23543]

Very well said. Especially for KZbin tutorials. Many thing the guy showing it is so great, but usually also that guy did research a ton and had his issues

[@oohkumar]

Thanks Brad. You nailed it. Tech is too big a subject to know everything. What all newbies have to remember is that your love of programming has already earned you a seat at the table. From that point on it’s just a matter of learning and practice. Every now and then I get a little awed by my Java friends but then I go out for a social and find out they are all in awe of my JavaScript and SQL skills. We shouldn’t be in awe of each other at all. The only difference between us is that they know their field and I know mine. In time I can learn theirs and visa versa and that just takes time and practice.

[@DonovanChilders]

This is great stuff. I became a web developer about 18 years ago and struggled with it. Working through that made me better at my job. 8 years ago, I moved into software engineering and let me tell you, I still struggle with imposter syndrome. At least now, I recognize when this happens and have learned ways that I can cope with it and get through it.

this is really hard for me bc i had a massive brain tumor that i had removed last year which resulted in a stroke, and now i have a few serious neuro issues. and it's affected my ability to work effectively. i can still learn, but i have absolutely no tolerance for stress now. so micromanaging, rushing, deadlines, meetings, and trying to learn very difficult things, and obscure directions/instructions, is very very hard. so this is encouraging to hear. i've been low key living in fear that i will lose my job. thank you
