Just want to say it’s very comforting to see a black successful software engineer, gives me motivation to keep going! Thank you for these videos

[@GyasiLinje]

This means a lot I'm so glad this comforts you and I'm so glad my channel motivates you!

[@tylerfreamon9924]

why couldn't a black person be a successful software engineer? Don't doubt yourself based on race.

[@FinnPayton]

@@tylerfreamon9924 He's not saying that black people are any less capable of becoming software engineers, they're just severely underrepresented in computer science fields.

I really found this channel at the right time. I'm about to start my freshman yr as a CS major. Super helpful!

[@GyasiLinje]

That is so good to hear! I'm glad my channel is helpful good luck with school!

[@umarajmal6216]

how's it going ?

[@hotkillgore67]

Oh my goodness I can’t believe you put my “which major” question in this video and went even more in depth. Thank you so much you have no idea how much this made my day!!

[@GyasiLinje]

That is great to hear I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Anytime fam!

[@potatoitis3326]

Switched from nursing to computer science! Nursing was always something my parents wanted. I’m not sure what I love but I do know that I’m intrigued by coding. Thank you for giving me an insight, definitely look forward to more of your content!

[@fahada2092]

Potato Itis hows it going for you so far?

[@ayebebe473]

I'm literally on the same boat as you! Majoring in nursing, but I feel like I'm only doing it for my parents and it's shoved down my throat as if I'm obligated to do it. Right now thank Lord Harvard and bunch of other colleges are doing free courses and I'm going to be looking at the introduction of computer science and just test waters.

[@yslberzerk9630]

ok but like im in a similar situation

[@ITSH3ARTY]

Aye Keita same here as the both of you. My family is full of nurses and doctors, and they just know I’m going to be a nurse and I’m just like yeah no, I’m taking my talents elsewhere!!! Time to follow my passion! Future software engineer here💁🏻‍♀️

[@vpoovath]

Another solid software engineering channel! I enjoy watching these well-produced videos, keep it up!

[@infini.tesimo]

Here's an easy one guys. Actually make projects that can be presentable as real sites. Ecom, restarunt, real estate, etc. Things clients or business pay for. Zero degree needed. Coding Phase has got you covered on how to do those kinds of things.

No idea how far back you're responding to this video but thanks for making these videos. I majored in math and taught for 3 years but I've decided to further my education so I'm going back to school for a Masters in CS. I'm definitely interested in the data management/statistics aspect of CS. I want to have the skills necessary for IT too but overall I'm still a noob short of JAVA and HTML that I took what feels like a century ago. This is really helping me find direction.

[@jonreed5431]

You made a really great point about school being harder than the actual work. Managing school and work is extremely difficult. If it's just work, its so much more manageable. I've found this to be the case myself.

[@GyasiLinje]

Yes I have so much more time on my hands and less things to juggle.

I know this is an old video but I had just finished my first college programming class. We learned Java and I’m not sure if it’s the fact that schooling is online due to the pandemic but I found it very difficult to “learn” programming. I did so bad in the class and I was debating on whether or not I should switch majors. I’m not entirely sure if I want to stay with it but I’m already about the be a junior and don’t feel I should restart. I have some interest in computer science but I just need the motivation to stick with it. Plz help if you can

[@ManeOuattara]

Going into Software Engineering/Coding, was the best decision I could have made for my career. I started out years ago W2 contracting using VB6. From there, I moved eventually to C# WinForms and WPF/MVVM, ASP.NET MVC, other tools, and now, DBE contracting at the municipal and state levels. If you are just starting out, the starting pay can be pretty good. And the sky is the limit. Seven figures is not very difficult to accomplish, as a DBE/MBE sub-contractor, once you reach the Senior skill levels. And from there, once you advance to a Prime, eight figures in not out of the question. My best advice to any one who want to do this, is to be prepared to learn on your own, via Google and KZbin, like the man in this video stated.

[@malikgray6615]

Hey gyaisi I have a question so I'm going to a university to major in CS this is another state by the way how do you get on you're feet after college is it best to apply to jobs early then save up enough money then move out of the residental dorms so you could afford you're own house ect... could you possibly do a video on that a little more in depth please or just help me out thanks 😁

[@pacotrejo7977]

How is the work environment as a software engineer. I’ve been hearing people saying that is toxic and it’s very stressful. So I wanted to know how it is with someone working in that field. I’m actually studying software engineering at a community college and in the process of finishing my associates in Software engineering and transferring to a 4 year. I was thinking of switching to do computer science because like you said it’s more broader and maybe I won’t want to do software engineering my whole life. I’m an ok coder and I know the basics of C++ and java and so far I’m liking it. But some people say that only people that love coding will succeed in this field which is giving some concerns. So I wanted to get your point of view.

You can find internship opportunities through career fair networking, and sites like Glassdoor, and Linkedin. You also can find project inspiration and ideas through google, w3 schools, and plural site.
