Hi all. I discuss a few mindset changes that helped me learn to code and become a better programmer and Software Developer.
I hope you find value in this.

The beauty of coding is that you can either achieve the end result or you can’t….yet. Every time I freak out and think “I have NFI what how this works” I just go and spend a morning building stuff. More often than not I hit this *ding* moment where everything comes to light. Listen to the advice in this video, FOCUS ON PRACTICE.

We are merely just GPT, aren't we? The answers that come to us are largely based on experience, and our brains getting the next most likely "link" for each basic unit of the problem, a la markov chains Like how chatgpt cant do maths, but can answer coding questions so well. Because chatgpt has "practised" enough to develop a comprehensive chain of "possible replies" when given a set of "problem" units So we too need to practise and practise, building up the repertoire of possible "problem" units and the correct "links". So that when we face a new problem, it dings And if we can't, then we need to just prompt ourselves more like how we nudge gpt in the right direction ------------- That and also fundamentals I guess. (1) find the invariants (2) find the expected cases (3) wishful thinking / Blackbox and hope you unknowingly resolve it as you use it in place of the solution

Honestly, the list at the end, it may be what's expected of junior developers, but it's actually what senior developers do as well. We've just done that loop so much and so often it "looks" like we've known everything all along. The reality is, we've just gotten really fast at applying first principles and fundamentals, learning something new, and quickly figure it out - using whatever resources we have. Google, co-workers, tutorials/books, and now GPT.

Such an amazing comment. I cannot thank you enough! That's the pure difference I've noticed with Senior Developers, is that they can get to the root of the problem so much quicker because they've seen it repeated somewhere else (albeit in a different framework/language/context). I think that is the skill that most Juniors miss out on (those that don't focus on practice anyway!)

Just to be comfortable with being uncomfortable - U will never know enough 4. You will never master coding rather you will understand them vaguely! 5. Know certain part of the domain and constantly learn nd build a bunch of projects.

Another point on ego: don't be attached to your code. It's *just* code. You or someone else will change it. It's ephemeral. One thing that helped me get past my ego, is knowing that everything I did was saved in the `git` repo. When I had to delete something I worked hard on, I was able to take solace in that. New devs at work often take offense when you change their code, and that's not helpful for them or for the project. It's just code; it's just code.

This is like the perfect key for self taught programer. I like how you brought up about being in a stuck concept situation. I knew right away once I was stuck and learing that specific part of syntax; I was wasting my time and delaying my goals. So I learn just by creating projects uses those concepts and understand them what they do. And I agree about being not a master in coding. Senior and Junior developer wont able to master and can't be perfect by memorizing everything. They will always part of syntax that you forget and its completley normal. But once you research it again; it'll help you remeber it quick than processing before casue you have learned it. This well put.

Mindset of a succesful programmer: 1. Don't give a f... All the useless meetings, changing requirements, impossible deadlines. You have to give zero f's about your job, otherwise you can go insane. 2. Dont think about your job after hours. You have to understand, this is not important. Your life is. 3. Work from home. Finished task for today? Finish earlier. See pt. 2. 4. Dont work too fast. Work slowly. Unless somebody explicitly tells you that you are lagging behind, you are not working too slow. 5. Project confidence. Tell clients what they want to hear. Do otherwise anyway. 6. Copy and paste everywhere you can. Take your previous projects and copy from them. Always try to take the path with minimal amount of code to write.

This video is GOLD. Learning by consuming (tutorials, reading theory, etc.) is not nearly as effective as learning by crafting. You don't need to make huge projects to try and apply what you are learning; small, minimal programs made repeatedly are just as good for this purpose. More importantly, I learnt that when you don't understand something or you're stuck, it's VERY important to take a rest and come back later. We have focus periods and if you always try and push through them, you'll quickly get burnt out, you'll grow lethargic and won't be able to do any more work. Taking breaks, doing other things is just as important to mantain a good performance when learning to code, and to keep enjoying doing so long term. After all, we can only do so much on a day. I was feeling a bit stressed out lately so this video made me feel a lot better. Thanks!

Stuff like this is really encouraging and validating for me as I start because I LOVE learning new things and once I found out that this really is a field where you will constantly be learning and experimenting and problem solving, it got me really excited because that's exactly what I want! I'm currently just going through the research and learn the basics portion, but I've already been playing around in the few programs I've downloaded and found out about. Lol So I guess that's not bad of me! It's just helpful for me to understand something when I've already messed with stuff enough to have even messed something up or hit a wall. Helps me remember and teaches me more I feel like.

Bro, hear me out. Your videos are so close to NoBoilerplate or Fireship level. It is insane how good you are. Take my advice with a grain of salt. But I think you would benefit from defining pacing for sections when you write. And trying to have same structure for most points you make and make them more impactful. And you would be better than any programming channel in no time because of your great writing and aesthetic. Also music too loud, but it is easier to fix)

I've enrolled to a SWE program at a university next month. I used to think that programming was something that I couldn’t do. My lack of confidence in Math, combined with the fear of not being smart enough, made me believe that coding was not my thing. Consequently, I never tried to learn programming seriously. But now, in hindsight, I realize that I may have been too hasty to dismiss it as a possibility. While it may be true that it is challenging, programming is like any other worthwhile skill - it takes time and effort to master. Your video motivates me. In 2023, I am finally ready to embrace this challenge and become proficient in this valuable skill. I'm going to take your advice to heart.

I think that an important thing to mention is that the way to avoid these things and get to the right mindset is to have a project in mind before you start to learn a new subject (in programming). When I started to learn programming, I did so because I needed to make an app for an electronics project and because of that I tried to rush the learning process through tutorials as fast as possible. When you learn a subject for the sake of learning it's really hard to know when to start learning and when to actually practicing. Every time before I want to learn a new thing in this field, I find a project that I want to make with that knowledge.

I would add that consistency is key! Forming habits around learning new theory based skills (such as certification hunting) or learning a new framework through hands on practice should be approached on a near daily basis. Some of these technologies take months to learn and weeks before we even get an intuitive understanding of what the point of them truly is in the context of a larger tech stack.

Making coding a habit is absolutely key. I can make a whole separate video on it. Wonderful take, thank you!

I started programming at 10, started with windows batch, didn't know anything else but got really good at batch, made a color Tetris clone in batch, later tried to learn c++ because i wanted to make a specific thing, that was the wrong approach and i kinda didn't make a lot for 2 years, then i started programming school i realized I already knew most things but being required to make the assignments was the push i needed to get good enough to make my own projects and a year later i started an internship which turned in to a fulltime job, now 5 years after i joined that school i have graduated and moved to working fulltime remotely for a smarthome company in a different country and it's great, so my advice is just built stuff, but don't be too ambitious, make small things, especially games or animated things because you see your code working, get an internship for real expirience and you'll probably see the path from there

This comment resonates with me. I’ve been interested in programming for years but never had the structure needed to do anything with it. I’m excited to get kicked in the right direction by attending school this fall.

Thank you ever so much! This is an eerily timely advice for me which gave me comfort and encouragement. I am transitioning between professions and one of the challenges is to shift my mindset to a saner and more constructive one 😄 I used to work in a field where a small mistake could have dire consequences, so I hope that I can have a new type of job where the unavoidable reality of me making mistakes will be seen as normal and where I will be supported to learn more and more and more without fear of reprisals. Thanks again 😊

That 10000 lines instead of hours perspective is brilliant. It's something tangible you can aim to achieve, rather than some vague notion of time that you could waste with too much theory

It really gives me hope after stumbling onto your video. For me, I see all my friends around me in university picking up concepts and programming really quickly. Yet for me, It can take me almost an entire day to work on chunks of code and at the end, I may not understand it at all. I always thought that I will simply never be a master at this and contemplated whether this field was for me at all. But watching the video and reading through the comments really help shed light on that: I may never be a full master at programming, but I sure as hell have the grits to look through code and learn as a student.

Thank you so much! Yes it's something I experienced as well. Software Engineering is unintentionally gate kept by a lot of subtle things (such as lingo). I will try my best to continue to be clear. Thank you! :)
