These 'non-technical' sides that both you and The TechLead present to us viewers helps us grasp the reality of being in this industry not only as a software engineer, data scientist etc. but also as an experienced/aspiring developer who deals with day to day personal problems. Thank you

[@paigegodfrey]

Congrats!!! I'm just getting started in data science and have been watching a lot of your videos. Really high quality content. Keep it up 💯

[@Jameslawz]

Joma is the epitome of "hard work pays off" and it really does, talent can only take you so far but if you're talented and lazy you begin to cap off and all the hardworkers behind you will start to catch up and out curve you in skill since you've become complacent in your ability. Always stay humble and have a thirst for knowledge. You are an inspiration and I don't think you know it.

"I couldn't even do the easy questions" This makes me feel so much better. It's just a matter of practice

Thanks for putting these videos out. Especially this one. I’m recently making a transition from chef to Full Stack Engineering. It’s been stressful but when I reached out on Facebook to friends who code, I found out that I have way more friends who code than I ever knew. They e been super supportive and their words, including your stories have helped carry me through this tough transition. Keep up the great work! Glad I stumbled onto your channel.

I do have to say that though I started watching tech lead and occasionally I will still catch one... I find they are not good for me. Maybe it is me not getting the humor or something. But, they almost combative and I end up feeling worse about interviewing. Yours though tend to be really supportive. Thanks for the help!

Hey Joma, I watched this multiple times during the beginning of my job search 2 months ago, after being laid off from COVID-related restructuring. You gave me a good way to approach my LeetCode grind. Like yours, my problem wasn't getting interviews; it was passing. After struggling hard and pushing myself, I too started to see the tricks and patterns for many of the problems. Well, I just landed a contract-to-hire job at one of my dream companies!!! And I'm gonna sign up for a daily coding problem service to keep my DS/algo skills sharp now that I know HOW to study, so even if I don't get converted, I'll be ready to interview elsewhere. Thanks for this video man, it inspired me. Happy Holidays, I hope you're enjoying yourself at FAANGULTAD :)

Those who don't have time to watch the video, here is what he says. Train your memory on programming exercises and you will get a job. FB, Google, Uber etc will hire people with a good memory.

[@dejavusnip]

Well to be fair, it's eaiser said than done. It's pretty much impossible to memorize all the leetcode problems. It's true that you will start noticing patterns once you are familiar with them. Your statement would be more true if you said "FB, Google, Uber etc will hire people with good patterns matching skill".

[@PandemicGameplay]

Pretty much, when they have to actually start implementing efficient solutions and understand the little things you don't get with leet code then it starts to go dowhill

[@javier.alvarez764]

Yeah, I get what you mean but I still think we need these programming exercies to actually improve our programming logic. My take away on this is that if you can do the hard stuff then, you won't be having a hard time doing the easy stuff. I'm only 1 year plus in Software Engineering but somehow my logic skills is far more better than a colleague who has work 2+ years.
