Hey Nkosinathi , really nice video! I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your video to reach to a wider audience .

[@mrsibiya]

Thank you for the proposal, currently not having a budget for that would like to do it in future though

[@Montelego]

Can you do IT and become softwear developer...???

[@mrsibiya]

Yes i did IT

[@Montelego]

@@mrsibiya can you please do tutorial for the things to consider to become good software developer

[@asandaLFC]

bro are you originally from Durban ? if so how has the experience been moving far away from your family especially since you have been gone for 2+years now, do you have any plans of permanently moving back to Durban ?

[@mrsibiya]

No I’m from Mpumalanga, the experience was good it was something I wanted but exhausting when travelling and also harsh when the institution decides to make sudden decisions like telling us to leave within 48 hours as I live way too far No I’ve had my share of KZN im good in Gauteng

[@asandaLFC]

thank you bafo, a video of your experience relocating away from home for work would be nice espcially for people like me who are going to have to move (but sacred) from dbn to jhb/capetown if we want to grow in the software dev career@@mrsibiya

[@solomonjunior5422]

Great video my guy I just watched your Graduate Program video, can you tell me what is the difference between an intenship and a graduate pragram and which one is a better option?

[@lesedisebetola6717]

What advice would you give someone who is self educating himself and has mastered HTML and CSS, now busy with JavaScript?

[@thatocyberspace]

You are on the right track, I will recommend building projects as u progress

[@thegreatmohau288]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way about Mathematics in the tech world, and the best part about it 😭 is that I can't do anything without it, since my majors are Physics and Computer Science.

[@Vee64917]

Heyy bro, I’d appreciate if you reply back to this comment. I’m a Software Engineering student in Zambia still in my 2nd Year, and I just wanna say you’re my Inspiration mahn. Sometimes I get worried that I’m not that good at Programming as I see my colleague develop nice projects, I even get to question if what I’m doing here is worthwhile. What advice can you give? you’re experienced and you know how depressing university can be. Your reply will be highly appreciated

[@mrsibiya]

Bruv, You have an advantage of still being in varsity and learning as much as you can now before the pressure of working. So that is something I went through and still going through hence I try my best to learn as much as I can. It's worthwhile stick to it and try to improve each and everyday

[@Vee64917]

Thank you so much for your advice bro, I highly appreciate it🙏

[@bigdaddymodiji]

Hello sir , really inspiring journey btw I just completed my graduation (bachelor) and am currently still learning to code in technologies like JS , react etc mostly frontend based ones. i am 21 and i am feeling that i wasted my time during college and am feeling missed out to many of this stuff . i currently have two choices , to get a 8-10 hr job or preparing for further education , and i am also not confident about my current technologies , i would love if you could provide me some mentorship / counseling or a response that might help in my situation.

[@mrsibiya]

This is definitely something you need to consider as what you want for yourself, as to not feeling confident that’s how I also felt and I can relate to what you are sharing but for myself I wanted nothing to do with school so I chose a Job and I learnt on the job Any choice is fine as long as it gives you peace and growth take it easy on yourself, there’s only so much you cam learn in a specific timeframe

[@akeelahhercules1408]

Hey, did you manage to get an answer from someone about this im in matric this year and would also like to be a software engineer, but not sure what is expected of me to be one

[@mrsibiya]

You need at least level 4 maths for the degree and just to pass well generally

[@nay_official_world]
