I needed this right now. Was learning frontend somewhere in 2020, tried to do too much and I became exhausted, lost all motivation and end up quiting. I started again last month, this time around, I'm taking things slowly and a step at a time.

[@rafaeljacovmedel8953]

We're on the same boat

[@tekki5744]

Bro we’re in the same situation I’m restarting right now

[@crinceebelempou6611]

The same as me tried since November 2019 but javascript always quick me out of the road but I still in the game of the battle

[@nakdickson]

@@crinceebelempou6611 yea. This time around, I taking JS very slowly. Just on topic a day. Sometimes I come back to the same topics the next day. Just to get clear understanding of it.

I started 2021. Same story.

[@BarisPalabiyik]

My story started with Wordpress, I learned how to make websites, how to stitch up plugins and needed themes, learned page builders, used and learned photoshop, apache servers, cpanel, plesk, dns, different hosting platforms then grasped the html css and how to go static, now after going in to the react space, I can now utilize javascript in both backend and frontend and even for DB work with prisma orm. I finished electrical engineering and been doing web for 3 years, Aaron actually one of the few peoples that led me to the frontend react route since he used to work in uber and his story inspired me. It's nice to see him still doing his thing and going in his own way. I would like to suggest you to handle audio levels and try to keep same distance to the microphone, sometimes it pops and the levels are all over the place, it would improve the quality a lot I feel. Cheers.

[@AndrewT]

Agree with mic recs. Also maybe get a pop filter

[@keifer7813]

The editing is something else. Them flares 👌

[@chiedozieagwu7864]

no need to change mic position, just use simple audio compressor.. the proper way.

There has to be way to auto adjust and flatten your mic level. You’re all over the place depending on where you’re looking, on the mic, off the mic or your inflection. Love the content. :)

[@encapsule2220]

Coming from ur vids from 3 years ago. I personally liked the "havent slept in 3 days trying to figure out the meaning of life" look. Seemed real and authentic. Not saying ur new videos arent. But they hit me different, maybe cuz its more relatable 🤣

[@KILLCHRISU]

Super helpful as i’ve been learning JS fundamentals before deciding whether to learn a framework or learn a low code platform to start freelancing (really wanna earn money asap). This was a nice roadmap

[@WackiTalesMedia]

if you record audio where you go back in forth distance-wise from the mic.. then put a compressor on that audio track in some audio software. it will level it out so it does not go up and down.

[@clydecrashcup3313]

great!

[@dr.brandonmccarthy9034]

Thank you , quite helpful video. I'm struggling with how much Javascript I need to learn before moving on to Solidity (chosen path) Only thing, pick a distance from the mic and keep it. Your levels are wonky, lol. Again thanks for this.

[@daysofgrace2934]

I first learnt BASIC, taught to me how to think as problem solver, breaking a teak down into a series of steps C was the next language then C++ for OOP, then SQL to work with databases, VB for event-driven, Power Builder, Python/Anvil for full-stack web development. In a nut-shell learn structured programming, OOP, test-driven development & functional programming. I put elements of functional programming into my OOP…

Great video! Just a little comment, try to make your sound more consistent when you're speaking, at least for me it's pretty annoying when one time volume is higher and other time lower

[@kenmcdavidefernandez5364]

❤❤❤

[@daskeds]

Besides Code Wars for practicing, is there a resource you recommend for projects ideas?

[@sohana.i.237]

As other commenters said, Aaron, you get far away from the mic one instant, then suddnely get really close to the mic, then far away again, and so on and on. Audio level is all over the place. I'm constantly having to adjust the volume every 3 seconds.

[@ezeihemadu7575]

I've tried to adopt the frond end developer pathway but I just can't seem to stay motivated the same way when learning python. I wonder what I should do with this situation.

[@fridayblessed9742]

hey, how about learning the front end and just the mern stack, it wouldnt be a bad idea, what do you think?

[@valentinaardinzone4373]

Hi Aaron, just landed in your world, I'm a newb, but I'd really like to learn... But first problem is that, at the moment, I only have a Xiaomi pad 5, I know that it could turn into a "pc" less or than, do you think I can run there the programs I need to practice? If not, which are the features I need to search for in a new pc (portable) to buy?

[@tabmax22]

5:33 - you mentioned focusing on mastering either frontend or backend. How does one go about doing this for backend? Does one not have to do frontend first? Like say if I decide I want to be a backend developer, I can't exactly build projects in just backend without building a frontend for the project first? So is frontend not a prerequisite for backend?

[@DA-qe9py]

Great content but the audio levels were all over the place. You often moved away from the mic. then close to the mic. then away again and so on, as you relayed good information with a lot of enthusiasm. 🙂

[@samuelwawina2373]

How about if I am not interested in web development what else can I do that I can land a job with now programing experience?

[@LordOfSweden]

Good tips! I didn't know about codewars, sounds good to learn, I will check that out. Question tho that I never find the answer to. What is the difference between a Webdeveloper and a front-end developer? Or is a Web-developer the same as Website developer? That's confusing to me. Sometimes I see education named "Webdevelopment" sometimes it's "Front-End", same with jobs.

[@joselgraterol]

web development = front-end (what you see on the screen, like a button) and back-end (what you don't see on the screen, like server operations)

[@mrrishiraj88]

👍

[@SeanFarFlung]

Interesting video, much appreciate. But man you gotta start using a compressor on your mic audio, or at least keep your position relative to the mic consistent. I've watched two of your videos now and it's very noticeable and distracting how much the audio levels jump up and down. Also the scraggly staticy sound effect you use at different points just sounds like I have a dodgy cable for my headphones. I actually had to troubleshoot my headset cable till i realized you were adding that sound in. No disrespect I'm honestly enjoying your videos. But I'd say audio is an area you gotta put some more thought into
