My Number #1 Advice For Young Programmers

In short, blindly copying and pasting code is NOT okay. Most of the time.
Don't let "any" code remain mysterious to you.
You need to have a deep understanding of the technology that you're using to do real software engineering.
I learned this simple lesson the hard way so I hope this advice helps you to grow faster as a developer.
Watch the video that I talked about:
The guy does mention that you should eventually learn what's inside the black box at some point...

Don't let "any" code remain mysterious to you. That is the message of this video. Checkout my other "advice videos": kzbin.info/aero/PLTEbuqk52pIBrC6SpryF15kR9DnKwK0Ci

That is a good statement, my current end goal is to understand the hardware behind it all.

[@leonsonstwie4816]

Great video! Thank you for this. We need more of this advide out there

[@Andrew-qc8jh]

love the help and grounded advice here man

[@Maxjoker98]

I really like the sentiment of not letting any code remain mysterious to you. I think one of the things that very cool about computer science is that basically all things we use are human inventions - It's not like physics, where you first have to discover and understand how the thing you're looking at works - Programs and algorithms are completely designed by humans, with the express purpose of remaining understandable by other humans in some way. You basically have a guarantee for an answer, and it can't be so complicated that you can't understand it, because other people needed to understand it to have created it. Curiosity gets you *very* far in computer science.

Thanks for sharing. This is great advice! I never looked at it this way: "basically all things we use are human inventions". I love computer science because the code does exactly what you ask it to... no more, no less...

Please make three js full tutorial about how to make a landing page with 3d asset using three js. Thank you 🙏

Noted!

BrainF in my personal opinion is a great language to start off with, the programming commands are incredibly easy to understand, the interplay between them is where it gets tricky, which I personally think is the perfect combination to get started programming.

C++ doesn't deserve much hate. We need to be able to teach it in a more frindly way. I'll liket re-learn C++. Can you recommend me a course, video or online resource to start? Ty again gor the awasome content!

[@visionary_3_d]

The youtube channel "The Cherno" is great for C++

[@irfansaeedkhan7242]

why not more videos brother

replicating award winning website , people would love to watch that

[@cyraxvisuals6203]

What if you are interested in programming but don't know what direction to take/what to make?

[@visionary_3_d]

Just experiment with a bunch of stuff until you find the right thing.

[@justdoeverything8883]

I would suggest learning python or javascript, they are used everywhere in every industry collectively. If you learn one, learning the other becomes easier.

[@cyraxvisuals6203]

I actually use python at my job, but I feel like I dont have any goals/motivation to do something in my spare time@@justdoeverything8883
