How to Become a Google Developer Expert (GDE)

[@Fireship]

Make sure not to miss the special easter egg after the closing credits!

[@PL4YR]

Ive been aspiring to be a GDE in angular for quite some time. But i just dont know any gde

[@Fireship]

@@PL4YR my advice would be to attend conferences, there are a bunch of options for Angular and GDEs are always there.

[@alejov]

Sweet!

[@user72974]

That seems kind of low considering how many subscribers you have the quality of your content. I whitelisted you in my KZbin ad blocker. I hope others do the same!

[@Fireship]

@@user72974 thank you! Yeah, YT ad revenue is weak, the pro membership is what makes this project sustainable.

[@JeffLowy]

I’ve been contracting at Google for a little over a year now (my first “real” engineering role). We recently started working on a new (and very complex) Angular/TS/RxJs/NgRx app; your channel + website have been so helpful keeping me a float and helping me not give in to impostor syndrome. Thanks Jeff!

[@saadabbasi2063]

Thanks Jeff. I don’t know remember it was your 40th or 50th video when i started following your channel. I must say you’re best at what you do and getting even better. Stay blessed.

[@ProgramWithErik]

I like the part at attending conferences! Thanks for the advice!

[@KaizenCodes]

Hey Jeff, can totally see why you’re a GDE. You’re a likable, influential guy with humility and skill. Thanks for the effort and time you put into this (Although I know you do it for your passion too 😌). Peace man. All the best.

[@Fireship]

Thank you Kaizen :)

[@LocalDegenn]

Becoming a GDE just got added to my list of Goals. Gonna be a long and arduous journey...but excited to strive toward it.

[@CodingCatDev]

It has been amazing to watch Jeff's channel grow, I joined as a lifetime Pro April 21, 2018 and have never regretted it! My two goals by end of 2019 are to have 1K subscribers on YT and become a GDE 🐱.

[@robertkylethomas173]

Not going to lie man... I thought this was going to be about becoming google certified. But congrats thats awesome. You've definitely helped me out in many instances. Keep up the awesome work

[@RobinYoulton]

That's great news Jeff, I have learnt so much from your instruction - well deserved!

[@ShashankMSuresh]

Ma name e jeff!😂

[@imransefat8770]

This is so motivational. The first step is always the hardest.

[@darshangowda309]

I'll become a GDE someday! BELIEVE IT!!

[@Fireship]

I believe it!

[@darshangowda309]

@@Fireship Haha, I sure will :P and btw that's a Naruto reference :D

[@RobertBrunhage]

Great video once again, would love to be a GDE sometime in the future. Soon maybe... haha

[@Fireship]

You're well on your way :)

[@ShahJr]

@@Fireshipseems you were spot on

[@soulninjadev]

well you did it 🔥

[@walterlee7371]

Thanks for sharing. I am a new GDE and feel the same like what you said. 😊

[@JonWood]

That's awesome you're a GDE! It's great to see you get recognized for all that you do here :)

[@Fireship]

Thank you Jon!

[@kronoszombieguidesapp]

for the first time in a while i've been able to identify a goal in the distance. Thanks for the video!

[@CodingPhase]

Congratulations! I would love to get that badge but there's nothing in google that I'm hype except polymer 3 or lit HTML... Wish Facebook had something like this

[@eliancordoba1199]

Congrats! You are the best Angular youtube channel!

[@samualtarpenning4018]

Thanks for this. I've been dealing with imposter syndrome a lot lately.

[@CodeWithAndrea]

Thanks for making this. Whenever people ask me how to become a GDE I now send them here :)

[@ZeinErsyad]

thank you, and congratulations for u becoming GDE..

[@Fireship]

Thank you Zein :)

[@madarauchiha6290]

Congrats man u really helped a lot. Thank you for all your videos , I was a total noob when I started watching videos on your channel and now I am able to understand many concepts easily thanks to you :D

[@MercyFromOverwatch2]

Jeff is my favourite tech youtuber

[@idemchenko-js]

It is absolutely well deserved! IMO, you are to the Web development community is what Casey is to vlogging community. I think you are a bar raiser here.

[@RagoDN2]

Very nice. I think there are lessons here that apply to everyone regardless of being Google-affiliated. Congrats, dude!

[@mawulijo]

I wanna be a GDE so bad. Starting NOW!!!

[@m_a_t_t]

Congrats Jeff!! You truly deserve this. I learned about Firebase and Angular from you and your high quality content. ❤️

[@perfect.stealth]

Congratulations with the GDE. If anyone deserves it, it's you.

[@dbroche]

HUGE congrats on your journey!

[@metasavagex]

You absolutely deserve it, I freakin love your content. It’s edited well and you take complicated topics and break them down well. Thank you for your time.

[@troythompson2]

Congrats on 100K Jeff!!!

[@kornelsiket3420]

Man your so inspiring! I think I'm not the only one who you gave a new goal to pursue after.

[@anc2k531]

Congrats about your GDE status Jeff. This video inspiring and motivating!

[@Fireship]

If it's something you're willing to pursue, then it's definitely achievable!

[@anc2k531]

Fireship Great so I hope to meet you one day on a summit, to thank you for sharing your Angular passion😎

[@edeme_kong]

This would be a big win for me... Thanks for this!

[@themarksmith]

Inspirational - just wish I wasn't so old :-)

[@Fireship]

Age doesn't matter. The range is actually very wide and not part of the criteria at all.

[@dominiclapitan8466]

Dude congrats. You highly deserve this. Thank you for your efforts!

[@ak-loz]

I will be spending my time with Fluter. :)

[@Fireship]

That's a hot area that could use more GDEs

[@BB-ty5pc]

Very cool and inspiring words

[@kenyadawoye3745]

Congrats man, that's Awesome!

[@Fireship]

Thank you!

[@erreerre2001]

Gratz Jeff! You deserve it!

[@OsUltraBug]

Congrats Jeff! The only critic I really have is that many of your videos turn out very difficult to follow (i.e. the view is super zoomed, you paste or "redo" all the code, and talk really fast). It's very hard to find videos in many of the subjects you touch on, but as a beginner dev, I find them hard to follow. None the less, congratulations on your achievements!

[@em3888]

Interesting , I really like to do KZbin channel but I don’t even have a mic and how to do video editing and believe me your material is good

[@SyrianProfessional]

you are the best , thank you so much , i follow all your videos

[@akauppi2]

Thanks. Didn't know this program existed. Will aim at it! :)

[@yogenp]

A well deserved nomination.

[@bryanmiller6990]

Like that goodfellas cut scene!

[@RoyRope]

I thought you worked for Google lol, but you make great video's keep them coming!

[@MujahidOmer]

If anything, your videos are the most consistent quality content I've come across in KZbin. Keep it up & congrats! 🥳🥳👌🏻

[@boradmay]

No exceptional skill, I mean, the animation is sooooo cool

[@cc189tv]

you are the best!

[@narcodico]

React has such a hyped fan base out there, but weirdly enough, not a single React GDE *cough* I believe I found myself the niche I was looking for!

[@Fireship]

Lol! Google did mention react in the I/O keynote, so maybe we will have react gdes soon 😉

[@narcodico]

@@Fireship But wouldn't it be weird to receive GDE acknowledgement for a non-google technology ?!

[@Fireship]

@@narcodico I was just joking, being a web GDE is the closest you will get :)

[@alejov]

I'm also a reactjs developer, i think you're just looking for a web developer expert, but i don't know if is just for Angular.

[@narcodico]

Fireship was trying to start my own GDE cult in here, thanks for ruining my niche :)

[@gondaimgano]

Congratulations you really know your stuff!

[@godwinpremkumar4995]

Do u make video about followers following concept with Firestore?If not can u make a video?

[@SALVAKYS]

So amazing

[@lukehero]

So you're saying putting GDC stickers on my MacBook _isn't_ enough?

[@naveenkumar.l481]

Soon i will become a gde like you

[@imranhossain3504]

Amazing

[@tranquillityEnthusiast]

Plz do a video on angular nestjs firebase....

[@oleksandrkovalov1543]

the key part here is - "you just need to get it in front of the right people"...

[@Fireship]

That is true, but the networking will likely fall into place automatically if you're working towards the other steps.

[@aravind.a]

Wow, you're awesome ☺️😇

[@RoughSubset]

Imposter syndrome?....lol Jeff c'mon you're the best, most of what I've learnt is from you :)

[@Fireship]

Awesome to hear that!

[@Lokesh_Karki]

Congratulations mate

[@ultrahalf]

Congrats 👍

[@driziiD]

you're an inspiration my man

[@ssokurenko]

Congrats Jeff, GDE is a big deal!

[@changethegametvintrotoeart8981]

i Have severl twitter accounts an cant access any of them... an loosing google accounts.. what now?

[@keertirajmalik]

Is this video gaining momentum due to new @robert brunhage video 😀

[@elmaureto]

Congrats!!!!

[@lifasibiya4810]

Wow I'm so inspired

[@patriciovargas3837]

What kind of interview question do the ask?

[@digitalalliance4283]

good to go

[@ottocheley7852]

Why did you rename your channel? Anyway congrats mate, you've helped me a lot and I dream to become a GDE someday :)

[@Fireship]

I made a video about this a while back, but basically just need long-term flexibility

[@lordswaggity1213]

How do I become: *JeFf DeLaNey* ? 🙂

I'm looking into this possibility with CRISPR

[@JayTailor45]

Many congrats

[@JamieNeubertPedersen]

See ya at the next summit Jeff 😉

[@alejov]

I really want to become a GDE, is the hardest part finding a GDE to recommend you?

[@Fireship]

You need a google employee to recommend you. The hardest part is creating good content and giving talks. Takes a ton of work.

[@boohoo7386]

Become the TechLead. Then you can take any job in Google

[@divertechnology]

Im new to google and just read the word price or pay quite too much.

[@paristonhill2752]

Would becoming a GDE help you to get a job at Google?

[@NiiApaAbbey]

Congrats man

[@PRASHANTSINGH-dr6ow]

First of all Congrats for the Achievement... I have a question that, I live in India and there are not as many Google Conf or events here.... So is there any way to approach the Google Employee other than meeting in person? And by the way, you create really good content. Thanks for that....

[@Fireship]

Thank you. Yes, I would look into Google Dev Groups in your region (and Twitter). There are GDEs in India that should be able to offer better advice than I can.

[@vikashviraj1232]

[@axea4554]

It's so easy to do, you just need do

[@kenesu1281]

❤❤👍

[@indranilchakraborty6372]

If I am create a youtube channel and provide content with my language like I am indian so my language is hindi so can I be a Google developer expert?

[@beyourahi]

Step 0: use Angular and Firebase and every other Google products more!

[@fanonxrogers109]

Wait learning GDE is basically learning GCP ?

[@fanonxrogers109]

ahha nevermind.

Ok first of all thanx for this, next thing I am truly deeply concerned about my privacy now. I just googled about how to become one yesterday. 😐 And now I am getting all these....... starting from KZbin recommendations of ur channel , googles channel or chrome recommendations. Even your video was on my top of my feed. 😶😶😶😶😶😶😶 Creepy man

[@nightcrusader5047]

Hi man, i need a little help

[@LuXxenatorX]

Please dont switch to AMP

[@chrisguraliuc]

hey that's awesome you work for Google but I was wondering why did you guys take out the dark mode out of the Google app for Android it went along with it just fine honestly by taking it out it makes Android 10 look half baked specially because now it's Google store Gmail and these are apps fromI don't really get why it's all white anyways just make it dark like you guys had it I don't get it why Google with everything just leave it the way it is

[@blonditbg15]

dos?

[@nikensss]

A bit too late, but congratulations!

[@jithinrajan3770]

Content is good but would suggest to talk slow and avoid mixing meme gifs, looks amatuer
