Hey there! Just stumbled upon your channel today, and I gotta say, I'm loving it. I'm a fresh graduate in software engineering this year, currently diving into the backend world and enjoying every bit of it. AI has also caught my eye, and I'm keen on exploring that avenue too. My goal for the year is to delve deeper into backends and dip my toes into the world of AI. On top of all that, I'm aiming to prioritize my health this year. Cheers!

[@yourfriendintech]

That’s awesome, it’s great that you have a lot of interests! I’m excited for you

Howdy Jon happy new year!! I'd watch the heck out of the tutorial on how you made your lofi-AI project, its sick!!

Your shot selection and how you broke down this vid was reallly good, cooked it bro 🔥 🤘🏽

Thanks TJ!! Big goals this year, I’m hyped to see you do it all! 💪

[@Joe48283]

"Hey Jon! 🌟 Really enjoying your videos, especially the way you present complex topics in such an engaging way. Your style makes learning a breeze! 😊 I'm super curious about your journey to Google as a software engineer. Any chance you could share some insights on how you prepared for the interviews? Like, what books did you find most helpful, or any specific tips you'd recommend for aspiring engineers like me? I'd love to see a dedicated video on this topic! Thanks a bunch! Keep up the awesome content! 👏

[@yourfriendintech]

Thanks! I have a few videos on the topic already, check out my “Q&A” series. The questions should all be time stamped but let me know if you have any other questions 😃

[@indecisive.m]

That looks awesome. I would be interested in seeing more of how you did it! My goals for the year involve just learning more and coding more. Im currently using React Native but Id like to get into the android side more but i dont overly want to split my focus between RN and learning like kotlin or java. Who knows what the year will bring!

[@yourfriendintech]

I’m a big fan of coding more to learn more. Best way to do it! Your experience will help guide you in which tech stack to pursue

Dream without goals are just dreams & ultimately they fuel dissapoinment. On the road to achieving your dreams, you must apply discipline but more importantly, consistency, because without commitment, you'll never start. But without consistency, you never finish. So my goal for this year is to put discipline as always to pass through challenges and win it all and just respect others so they will respect me too.🤞

Hey, I'm Mosab Shaheen. I like your videos and the knowledge that you share. I'm a full-stack web developer in Next.js with 2 years of experience and now, I'm learning GEN-AI, langchain, and Python to build AI projects. I'm also studying in the 3-rd semester in Computer Scince and also working as a freelancer. My goal is to start my journey with the big tech companies and learn more about AI and Software engineering. I have one question for you, please answer this. My question is Can I get an internship in Google as a full-stack developer? I have intermediate knowledge of JavaScript and TypeScript. I don't have knowledge about DSA, will start learning after 1 month. Please let me know if there is any suggestions for me and also let me know how I contact you for my other queries (if I have). Thank you for the videos. The above question is more than a monitor for me so please suggest to me a roadmap to learn DSA and get an internship at big tech companies.

[@yourfriendintech]

Hey Mosab! I would highly recommend you check out the Google For Students pages; they have all the information you need to know about internships at Google. In general, you will need to know DSA to land a software engineering internship at any of the big tech companies. Have you done any leetcode at all?
