How Much Should You Know?

[@gcho91]

Eye-opening. It's really easy to get discouraged but the community of web developers (and aspiring ones) has been incredibly humble and helpful so far. Thank you!

[@DigitalChaoS]

Thanks man, I appreciate the video. Couldn't have come at a better time. University has been a continuous overwhelming struggle where my study habits have changed sharply. As stubborn as I am I've finally accepted I will never know everything there is in Computer Science. My goal is no longer to study and memorize, but to understand the basic concepts. This video really helps confirm my new found motion. Thank you, Barely Surviving Depressed Student

[@jeremiahfernandez9161]

same here man

[@technoself81]

I absolutely love how you explain things in a fun way. The moment when you said talked about how at the lowest level of HW is electricity. Thanks for doing what you do Dave!

[@imsalmansaif]

you are right, the more I learn the more i realize that there's a lot to know.

[@markanthony9432]

Excellent video and tutorial...especially the conclusion. The hardest thing to grasp is no matter how much you learn or where you've learned it, you will never know it all. But that also builds a great community of humble people...and a group of humble individuals can accomplish anything. Thx

[@huynh4128]

Omg thank you so much for clarifying "full stack". It never made sense to me how they're called full-stack developers when they're just a "jack-of-all-trades" web developer.

[@TheDarcang3l]

Thank you for the video !!

[@andreasbaggesgaard887]

As an aspiring "full stack" developer, I really enjoy your videos ;)

[@anirudhkannan9]

I'm starting on that path now - can we be in touch? My email is [e-mail]

[@AlexMescalinich]

I'm with you! Thnx for saying this things!

[@computersciencebasics2176]

Thank you so much. I thought I knew a lot,boy was I wrong. Well will just keep on learning!

[@albertgeller]

Thank you, please continue doing this kind of vídeo, it helps me a lot! Nice work (Sorry for Bad english)

[@jayce9412]

Thank you so much. This video is really useful to me.

[@1SuperFlyS]

Thank you for the information in your videos. It's been very helpful to hear ✌️️

[@Abdulmajeed-sy1us]

Better than previous method of without using monitor. I think it keeps you organised

[@JamesTsividis]

These videos are cool to give perspective as I'm studying :)

[@saiyenblade]

Thanks really organized the computing topics in my head lol

[@chickensammich7623]

Honestly, the concepts of object oriented programming have been really useful to me in general life. Any body have thoughts or agree?

[@polyhydrolide]

Hi. I really like your videos! It is very informative and enjoyable. Can i make a request for you to do a video on Unix filesystem? That should be fun. Keep it up!

[@wizzdude2006]

Nice video, there are more embedded software startups now or rather a hybrid of embedded / web technology due to IoT.

[@ssuriyaprakash1]

Yeah Finally this is am searching for 4 years in my engineering

[@emziemz]

One of my old college friends was bragging about being fullstack, ahahaha -- glad I watched this.

[@ahmedr.]

from nand to tetris .. a lot in between .. seriously a lot :)

[@conoroflanagan2908]

I think in another video you had mentioned naming peculiarities, such as "engineer". Is the tech industry moving at such a rate that maybe not everyone has a synced up idea of what these titles are, and where they exist in the hw/sw title taxonomy? How does this effect employers/developers perceptions, and are they helping/hindering themselves?

[@DaveXiang]

These titles are subjective and work to a certain point. If you look at a Google chart, there are probably 20 levels of "engineer" just to accomodate for sheer numbers. At a certain point, you are judged on the value you bring to the table and you will think less about these titles.

[@amirsaad9761]

Great video man

[@supr_]

amazing man, thank you.

[@zerocube7382]

NO BULLSHIT, ALL REAL STUFFS. YOU ARE COOL BRO.

[@CaptainSuperX]

Don't be angery about full stack. It's just in different context. I used to be a backend engineer in Nvidia but I knew nothing about web programming. It was referring to physical layout design engineer. And the front-end engineer is who compiles RTL code to gate level netlist which is used by the back end engineer. Now l have switched to back end web development. I think that's a bit funny but nothing need to be angry with.

[@ericchen5974]

Hey man, great video that is easy and simple to understand. I think nowadays most comp sci majors jump into the field knowing/expecting too much about application and not enough about the big picture.

[@webjumo]

Nice one!

[@zeinabosman303]

Thanks for the video, very informative

[@simonla8782]

Hi Dave. Sometimes when I learn new concept of a technology, I may often sometimes forget it..Do you have some tips on how to remember key concepts for future use? Thanks.

[@DaveXiang]

I re-read the same things often. It definitely takes awhile. Try to apply your knowledge as much as you can(projects) as well keep re-visiting the reference manuals and reading resources. Good luck

[@simonla8782]

Thanks!

[@young9534]

Can you make a video on open source software?

[@daniellucas5171]

hi bro i have a question there is not cyber security courses in my country so i will have to self taught my self so i have a question . i'm taking a tutorial of kali linux from beginner to expert and i really like it also i'm learning c and will after that learn c++ and also i'm taking the ccna networking and swaetching and after that i plane to get the security ccna but what can you add to my journey and how keep moral up knowing that i'm the only guy around wanting this so i have no one to help me or advice me ?

[@DaveXiang]

hey man. that sounds really good. Not many people study that stuff and I think it is really valuable knowledge. Just remember, you don't really need a personal mentor or coach all the time. That is why the internet is so good. A book can be your mentor. Or listening to someone you like on youtube can be a mentor. Not many people have the luxury of really having a person to give advice all the time.

[@daniellucas5171]

sure bro thanks for the advice and it' not just about the mentor it's also about not having even a person to work with that makes it harder for me but anyway you didn't tell me what i should do next after learning c and c++ and finishing my ccna exams and hacking course cause it would take me like max 2 mouths to finish with c and c++ and the hacking course from now

[@DrDarko-oi4jp]

great video

[@humbv10]

Which Macbook do you recommend right now?? Love your videos thanks

[@DaveXiang]

Thanks! I use an early 2013 mac book pro. I got the best one at the time. I don't really like the new ones because it's a lot of candy and the raw hardware isn't that much better. I like laptops better than desktops now because I don't play video games anymore.

[@humbv10]

Dave Xiang Thanks so much. I don't like the new ones neither, but I'm thinking of studying computer science and I can't make up my mind which I should buy. Keep working till now.

[@m13m]

bought a copy of programmer perspective

[@DaveXiang]

nicee

[@suavecito_o7927]

Whats the difference between a graduate program in software engineering and computer science? Is there really any significant differences? Also, great video man!

[@Earlosaur]

I would imagine software engineering covers a lot more aspects of implementation and design, where as a regular CS degree remains theory based.

[@DaveXiang]

Majestic's answer is good. A graduate program in CS would be if you really are passionate about the theory and science of computers. If you want to position yourself to get a job, which 99% times doesn't require intense CS theory, then maybe software engineering would be a better choice.

[@suavecito_o7927]

Cool! Thanks guys!

[@imhellag]

Hey Dave I hope you're doing really, really well lol

[@sorasama]

best video I have ever seen . can I translated into arabic?

[@DaveXiang]

that would be amazing.thanks!

[@timothybracken1728]

your the coolest programmer ever haha

[@goodPython]

you didn't tell us "how much" you personally now that "stuff" , just so that we can better understand how far behind we are ?????

[@arabiccompprograming5161]

KNOWING IS ONE THING, UNDERSTANDING IS ANOTHER, APPLYING IS ALSO ANOTHER THING, KNOWING , KNOWING, KNOWING, KNOWING.
