Really like your content, it is extremely relevant and informative which is rare for dev content these days... nice work!

Thank you for your video. Don't be afraid of making mistakes as mistakes will help you learn when it comes learning coding. So make tons.

I found your channel a few months ago and I've been binge watching your videos this week. You are great. ありがとうございます！

You have a really positive attitude. Thanks for posting this video. It made my day much better!

Reading your code was enough for me to subscribe to your channel, this is the language we all understand globally. Looking forward to seeing more productions of yours, Next.js 12 just came out with awesome add ons ...😁from Canada with respect!

devaslife: "Being a full-stack developer does not mean you know everything". recruiters: "Being in our company means you're a human wikipedia who knows how to write a Hello World app from a single atom"

[@nonipaify]

I interviewed for a position yesterday and when he asked me what "call stack and event loop" is and how it is used in javascript. I told him that I know it but just to be sure I am quickly going to google it just to refresh the concept so that I can give a refined answer. He seemed kinda shocked as if I should have known it by heart. I don't remember all the concepts at all times. Quick look up is enough to refresh what it is but recruiters expect us to be human wikipedia 😂.

[@aki1840]

love your attitude bro. all the best

[@frozen_tortus]

4:52 is my favorite tidy bits. Many people don't know this, make mistakes should be the goal when learning new stuff, and more mistakes you make before you'll learn. It's kind of opposite then what typicall professional novice would think that they should avoid mistakes.

[@dayls8545]

Many people want to get a job as fast as possible by learning the stack of frameworks without deep understanding of them. Making mistakes helps to become more proficient, but many companies need fast product delivery first, not the good code

[@MaganDesigns]

I like that you have so much knowledge but remain humble. Thank you for sharing

[@rrd_97]

The ability to learn everything fast is what fullstack developer need.

Can you make a video talking about the process you execute to gather requirements and how long it takes for the discovering step or understand what are all the features that the project needs to have?

[@vynorr]

It doesn't matter how good or bad your English is. But what you've told in your video, no English ever can tell like you. Every developer has a story. Your story seems the same as mine. I tried to give up programming many times when I started, because of my family crisis. This video is such a true inspiration for all beginners. Programming is fun. If it isn't then make it fun.

[@gretagrigaityte]

[@J2DOLARownsU]

Respectfully, there are huge difference between programming languages. "Computational thinking" however is the same across languages, which is what I hope you mean. Great video by the way!

[@phxm7853]

I have the same opinions, and used to mention the same things when new junior Devs joined my company, but nobody seemed to get my point 😁. The senior management insists on hiring some random people and asking us Devs to teach them each and everything. The problem with that was, they stop learning when we stopped teaching. My company's Management fails to understand IT industry is extremely Dynamic, with new technologies happening every few weeks or days. After few years I gave upon on trying to make them understand 😂. I am glad to see that there are many others who agree to this. I will be sharing this video next time if I get a good audience. Thank you 👍.

This is more informative to me than lots of the so called learn this in 24 hours

[@aminollahzakizadeh5888]

I believe that really depends on your situation, When your project is due on the next two days you must use stack overflow or when there is a boss on up your head you must know on a big cluster of computers running spark , calling collect will crash your master, otherwise you'll be dead, so avoiding problems are best in times. This method of error and try does works best for beginners and I have also taken the same way.

[@blackd3er941]

So funny intro, thanks for the advice!

[@juggalope]

I'm not an FSD but what you're talking about is exactly why I HATE job postings requiring a certain number of years with a language. I can pick up another language as needed. It shouldn't matter what I've used in the past.

[@blasttrash]

dont worry about job postings. Just go ahead and apply. Sometimes these are written by non-technical people and its more about "their wish" for what kind of dev they want. However they would be more than happy with a person who only knows 10% of the listed technologies. However do note that if there is a person who already knows that particular language and you don't, that person will most likely get picked. Unless you are applying for big tech companies where they have multiple teams which use multiple languages, people will prefer the person who has first hand knowledge with their in house tech stack. You could be an expert in MERN stack, but if the company that you applied to uses java stack, and if they find someone who knows java and you don't, they will pick that person straight away even before interviewing you. Picking up a language is not as easy as people make it out to be and neither is it alone enough. You need to learn the language, learn the framework, libraries etc used in that language, learn different design patterns usually used in that language etc. Most of the companies want you to hit the ground running from your first week and therefore its a huge bet for them to choose you if you don't know their tech stack.
