How to stay up to date with new technologies as a Software Engineer

[@reldies5364]

Write the code so only you can read it, thats how you stay relevant.

[@zx-25r12]

what do u mean

[@Jacob-mh3rp]

James S. Issa joke

[@MinhAnh-ms7bb]

it's true all the time

[@cizd]

I mean. You're not wrong. Sometimes when I was going to resolve something or make a really spesific feature that I assumed no one would ever touch I just spewed out workable code. With some of the deadlines that's just how it had to be done.

[@sidhantpatra9213]

Bcoz we procrastinate

[@matheuscghgru]

Thanks Mayuko to make me realize that I am no alone in this boat of learning though failure , and conclude that if we face those moments as growing for ourselves ones we can go far a be very good professionals in all the aspects .

[@HolisticDeveloper]

I totally agree with you, it is really helpful to know that it is not just me who feels like that, software engineer is always challenging and being resistant to failure...

[@valentine1925]

I started as web developer and self studied swift and iOS, now Im working on an app for a bank. Keep grinding.

[@sabrina6720]

I'm sitting here nervous as heck because my manager recommended me to take a coding challenge for entrance into a program offered in my company. I still struggle with feeling like the stupidest person on the various teams I've been put on, but the video reminded me that failing and picking yourself up is a fundamental in this field. Gonna go take that challenge now and accept whatever happens, thanks ^_^

[@HolisticDeveloper]

The fact that you think that it is an indication that you know how much more is there to be learned and you are just real about it. You are not alone.

[@BiancaAguglia]

I've just read that Mark Zuckerberg was rated only as a medium level programmer on competitive programming sites like LeetCode. So you could let your boss know that people who aren't the best at coding challenges can still build very successful apps. 😊 P.S. Regardless of how you feel about FB, the fact that it all started with the code of a college student and now it's an app used by billions, it's an impressive story. 😊

[@HolisticDeveloper]

@@BiancaAguglia wow, that is interesting. Were did you read about it?

[@BiancaAguglia]

@@HolisticDeveloper It was a Quora post called "How good of a programmer is Mark Zuckerberg and does he still sometimes code for Facebook?" There's also a post on Business Insider called "The Worst-Kept Secret About Mark Zuckerberg Is That He's *Not* Actually A Coding Genius." I was wrong though: the competitive coding site mentioned in those articles was TopCoder not LeetCode. Also, I didn't fact check the story but I do think it's worth retelling because it has a message that I know to be true: hard work can take you further than talent. 😊

[@misty.mayhem]

your personality is so engaging. LOL love the honest authentic vibe you give off.

[@matteolinux9467]

mayuko, have you ever thought about making your own Swift online course... I think you could be a great teacher! bye from Italy! Ciao!

[@rsjpx]

You're like a sister software engineer/programmer that I never had. We think the same way. Software engineering is indeed a lesson in humility for me. keep up the good work Mayuko 👍😉

[@rahmatabadi3839]

I am a life long learner. I spend 18 hours a day for reviewing the "old" things I already knew and learning the new ones. I read a lot of documentations or randomly-chosen blogs and try to decipher the code and make it much better.

[@taipham555]

Thank you for making this video! Your pieces of advice are really helpful for not only software engineer but also for others who have to code for their work :)

[@hoshizora719]

Soo i don't know how big of a thank you i want to give but it's BIG. I've had this fear of how much i need to learn for the longest time. Ur approach makes it less overwhelming.

[@jameshemmings6210]

This really helpful and a real confidence boost!! I had been struggling a little, worrying that what I was stuck on was a roadblock, but thinking of it as a few mistakes instead has given me a new perspective! Keep up the great content!

[@julielong6936]

I have 4 years coding experience. I still learn a lot from your videos and you pull me out of a hole that I am not good enough since I always feel like I don’t know enough.

Hi Mayuko. Thanks for your video. Honest and true about learning new tech skills.

[@BangMaster96]

You know what you don't know, but when it comes to Software Engineering, you don't even know what you don't know.

[@shyan042688]

This was very relatable. I too am curiosity- and purpose-driven in my learning. I need something to look forward to if I'm going to keep doing whatever I'm doing (and I know that whatever I'm doing is likely to get me where I want to be).

[@j50313j50313]

I usually learn new technology by hands-on experience too! For example, if I want to learn how to use docker, I will try to dockize my web app. If I encounter with any obstacles, I will stay calm and read some documentations for a while and start to write some codes. It is a cycle. You will definitely face some problems and you will need to go back to the documentations thoroughly and then starts to write code again!

[@jworne79]

Thanks so much! I wish KZbin and this video existed when I was studying. I had no direction and so full of doubt. Took me a while to get my career on track

[@Yeezybreezzy]

I saw the word date and I thought the title was, “how to go on a date with a software engineer.”

[@Eugene.Berezin]

I totally can relate to the fact that when you look under the curtains of your application nothing makes sense lol. And ... sometimes it happens when you look at the code that I wrote a while ago lol.

I have been trying to learn how to code in C and it's totally like the ones you have been saying: failing, failing while learning, and learning while "crashing and burning"... Even so, I will press on towards finishing the mission on hand (personal goals/ mission, that is).

[@HolisticDeveloper]

Yeah, that is what means to be a software developer, fail and learn and fail and learn and repeat that for a while... good luck to you learning C it is the first language I have learned

[@TAILSORANGEs]

@@HolisticDeveloper How do you use qsort properly????

[@TAILSORANGEs]

@@HolisticDeveloper err, decided to make my own sorting functions... since it's got a bunch of variable types (it's a struct of pointers pointing to another struct) that's unsuitable for qsort.... Currently going through a certification process for C. I intend to use the skillset to the fullest.

I also started my career as an iOS developer with Swift. But now swift is pretty much not in demand as it used to be. Native app dev took much of the market. I also did web dev, game dev, blockchain, matlab, and now I wanna try native apps.

[@RogelioMtbRider]

thanks for sharing your experience. Me too, sucks at software development. I thought I'm invincible that I got an experience on a particular field and got a regular job. However, everything turns around and I got depressed when my client pull out. I was jobless and don't know what to do. I got a lot of skills but I'm not expert on either of these. I tried to apply for another job but with my experience, I should have a specialization. I tried to learn new stuff but it was a mess that I want to learn many things at the same time. I also create a youtube channel related to my hobby for my local language that temporarily provide escape from the depression of failure. Thanks for sharing your experience, I was enlighten that we fail a lot of times as a software developers. As for now, I will re evaluate my priorities and decide what specific field will be my specialization. Thanks again!

[@goodcitizen8860]

You were so lucky to get a job while not knowing how to work with Xcode.Last month I applied for an iOS internship at shopify and I have 5 intermediate apps and got rejected.

Hello Mayuko! How are you? ummm I just wanted to ask about what do you think about Flutter? I have been learning web and little bit of android development, am still at beginner level at android. So I just wanted to know, in development industry in future, How is it going to be now that there is flutter. should i invest myself in learning flutter or how??? or will it be better to learn native app development before learning flutter? what are your thoughts?

[@tannerbarcelos6880]

My interest is front end development. However, I have been gaining more interest in ios. I don’t know how to do either right now, but how can someone go into that as a CS student? Meaning, since we learn so many different things in school, but I have no internships or anything, should I just apply? I’m afraid to graduate and not go into the field I want and end up doing some lousy c++ or something all my life lol.

[@zeffali352]

Thts what i was wondering how she cracked it

[@ki135]

It's potentially through just having the right kind of computer science background. In the UK at least (so maybe not helpful to you), there are loads of graduate schemes that take on comp Sci grads and you are not expected to come in as the fully finished article.

I like to read a lot of news to stay up-to-date. I use an app called code news, it's great, you can try it.

I love learning new stuff about pretty much everything, but unfortunately I pair that with a crippling fear of failure; which leads to a sort of 'study paralysis' i guess. I never actually apply the things im learning.

[@HolisticDeveloper]

How I can relate to your comment. I have struggled with that too so many times, fear is so hard to overcome, but sometimes it takes a bit of courage and support to get started and then it becomes so much easier.
