[@valeg8664]

Thank god I found you! You are an amazing MAN and MENTOR. Thank you for sharing your knowledge to us. I’m going to start college in January 2022 and I’m already looking at what career path to take. I would like if you could make a video of how to learn programming principles or the basics of programming. Maybe a video of the best courses to take for beginners or the best books. Or how you learned programming. Thank you!

[@vea21stc.e61]

Just getting started in the tech career starting Codingdojo Aug 2 cant wait!! Your videos are very helpful and i will be definitely learning alot from you as a new software engineer

[@umanga312]

Thanks Utsav for an amazing video, You should have shed some light on Support Engineering roles too, as not all of the tech world is comprised of just people developing applications, a lot of it goes towards support and operations as well.

[@nashs.4206]

Hi Utsav, would you consider making a video on embedded software engineering? Things like skills required, how different it is compared to application software engineering, etc.

[@akib_khan]

Yayy, another cool video. Thanks for clearing up this stuff. Really helpful.

It will be great to hear your take on Program Management and other tech roles. You articulate yourself so well. Great video as always.

I have been a C/C++ developer. Mainly in server side development(not embedded). Often find it hard for me to explain which "end" of engineering I'm into. Thanks for term "Infra engineering".

[@maxmustermann8250]

Your videos really motivate me to step my game up. Studying a mix of computer science and electrical engineering, programming for an institute at university. Really came to love programming, really annoyed by electrical engineering. I always want to be great at what I do, but Uni felt like it was going nowhere so I compensated by competing in sports. I'm currently writing my last exams in electrical engineering and I'm looking forward to hearing courses I actually enjoy. Ready to give it my all. Thank you! (:

[@MrBoka1]

Hi Utsav ! Another great video this week and its awesome. Will it be possible for you to provide roadmaps for the different paths you have explained to us. You are experienced and have worked with Microsoft, so a roadmap would be a great help to new comers or beginners who are starting out. What say ? 😀

[@dambar011]

Great advice and content -- Thank you

[@maclarel]

What advice would you have for support engineers? For many this can feel like a dead-end short of moving into management, sales engineering, or going full-time engineering (all of which can be a dramatic career shift). DevOps/SRE seems to be the most logical move in many cases, but as you noted it's not a super easy position to find... Thoughts?

[@carole-anned.1423]

Super helpful!! Thank you :)

[@austin7591]

Thanks for another great video Utsav! I'm currently working on and learning python, and thanks to your advice I now have tunnel vision- I plan on learning as much as possible with python, then moving on to a language/field that interests me. This video was extremely helpful in clearing up these different paths!

[@EngineeringwithUtsav]

You got this man!

[@arichey1486]

Question. What happens if you are a senior engineer on either back-end or front-end and there isn't a ton of advancement in your organization? I have researched and thought about what it would be like to be a Software Architect or Staff Developer, but how would I go about being that sort of specialist in my career field?

[@dennissackmann5619]

Still don't get why your channel is so underrated. Love your videos!!!

[@EngineeringwithUtsav]

Thanks, Dennis! :)

[@VISWAPRASATHKS]

Hi Utsav, Thanks for this detailed video. Loved it to core. One request, is it possible to share your views as DevRel or Developer Experience (DX) Engineers. Recently too much of emphasis of API driven development and cross product integrations are happening. Almost all the mid size to enterprise org are having DevRel or DX roles gradually. I see some trends people with 5+ years of Backend engineering slowly moving on this direction also. Note: I understand it may fall on Less Common options, but if you get time will love to see your opinion.

[@Juzzyjuzzy]

The data engineering definition was clear and concise.

[@yoavklein123]

Hi Utsav, thanks for this video, it's great! My question is: Isn't there an area of "Embedded development" like developing for low-resource embedded systems, such as in defense systems, etc? Isn't this a field in software development?

[@KyleAndersonMusic]

Utsav, I love your videos, they're always enlightening and really make me excited about the degree I've chosen to get. I wanted to make a video request. If possible, can you make a video on how to find mentors and how to know what a good or bad mentor is? I've searched a lot for this answer and what I've seemed to find, outside of partnerships when you join a company, the answer seems to be Get Lucky in your relationships, but I feel like there's got to be more than simple luck. With all the networking at our finger tips, there has to be a better way to find people who are successful in the industry and willing to mentor than a chance encounter.

[@EngineeringwithUtsav]

Thanks ... sound good, I will make one on that topic :)

[@nick_jacob]

Cannot stress enough about learning one programming language and sticking to it all the way through to the advanced topics.

[@sassy_s349]

so only one language is enough? what do u suggest to a beginner from non tech industry who wants to join in? what's the best way?

[@whatisthis1262]

​@sassy_s349 web development.. learn html, css, javascript and then learn a back end language like Java. As part of that you should gain an understanding of databases, particularly relational databases. This will involve learning SQL. Codecadamy and freecodecamp are both great for all of this.

[@SavageScientist]

Great Video solid information I agree the generalist has the best future

[@MasterRoshi44]

This is a great overview, thank you! How would one find a "generalist" role? Do they often get described as a "full stack" role? Do you know how common the general engineer role is in today's market?

[@EngineeringwithUtsav]

Larger companies have adopted it. You may not find a role that spells it out (I think Facebook and few others do) ... but think of it as a mindset to have. Lots of companies just have the "Software Engineer" role these days where they expect you to wear different (or all) hats. That's the generalist role, or the mindset. In smaller startups or your company as well, you have no choice but to do a bit of everything.

[@jinny5025]

[@JamalIssa]

@@_cipriano2282 considering you’ve graduated as MIS (that’s what I studied as well) that’s a great start. I’d say the next step is really finding a good graduate program either in a consultancy or a software development organisation to really start learning by doing, if you like software and IT then maybe business consultancy is not for you but rather technical and business analysis in a software or technically oriented organisation. All the best.

@@arghadeepmisra7865 Fair. Online learning platforms have to be designed for a broad set of audience with different learning patterns. So unfortunately, it is difficult to make it work for everyone.
