Not everyone is capable of doing programming. It is not necessarily about intelligence, it has to do with enjoying problem solving and puzzles. I came from an industry as far away from programming as possible. I was a truck driver for 15 years. However, I was always tech savy, and did very well in school. I finally decided to go to school and get my degree in software engineering. There is a very real thing call "Imposter syndrome", were you think you dont know enough and you will never get it. This is where having a support system can really help. EVERYONE struggles in the beginning, and we all have to learn everyday on improve. I am 10 years in now and still learning new stuff all the time. Another thing I would suggest is stop going into tutorial hell and watching videos. Spend a little time learning, then just jump in and create something yourself. You will not learn just watching and doing tutorials. You have to just jump in with both feet and do it. I have now been doing this for 10 years and I am the Director of Technology for an Environmental consulting company.

Thanks for sharing your inspiring story!

Inspiring I’m going to school and have been for a month and I also have been driving semi truck for 9 years

[@doltecbyal]

"It is not necessarily about intelligence" Are you trying to pretend you are an example of this simply because you drove a truck? Cos you literally wrote in the next line: "I was always tech savy, and did very well in school" It takes intelligence to solve problems and puzzles.

[@PatTheRipper]

I just started a boot camp 1 month ago and you just explained everything i feel. But used words lol

[@samuelofcarvalho]

The best thing about your video is that you started by talking about your own difficulties and fears, and showing that you overcame it. Thats inspiring cause its relatable. Thanks for opening up and giving tips for the newcomers, buddy!

[@ej_whistleblower]

I started coding a few month back. Today I just wanted to give up. Because I was feeling like I am not good at all at coding. But after watching this video I realised that I need to keep trying. Need to take small small steps. Really motivated video.

Happy to help. Good luck 👍

[@masterwaylon]

Coding is a skill and an art. Reading some open source code will make you a better programmer, it's kinda like how watching a pro KZbinr play a game will make you a better player; as you get better you will pick up on more stuff

[@pandawoan]

I love these tips, except, even if you told my beginner self these I doubt I would have listened unfortunately. Now I know to take it slow and success comes with progress. I used to always binge watch and try to do a ton of things, but end up burning out or forgetting most things and having to rewatch. It's just this undying pressure to "catch up" to everyone else, but a lot of times that "catch up" is made up in my own head.

Hey , a comment stalker here ;) . I have a question , what did you choose?

[@garrettwitzenburg2873]

Coding was a representation of me running towards, not away, from something that terrified me. I was actually pretty horrible at math, programming, physics ect. But there was something inside of me that told me I had to face it, nf so I have and continue to, and enjoy my job. I love the challenge and at the end of the day knowing that I'm putting myself in front of challenges everyday

[@bulelf]

What I've learned around other students during my bachelor in computer science, is that one should not allow teachers to introduce them to programming or you'll hate it. That, of course, highly depends on the teacher, I've had really really inspiring teachers, but they are extremely small amount. Most of the teachers will just force you to learn things and give you impractical tasks and at the end you'll hate it. I was fortunate to have started programming long before we started studying it (even in high school), and I believe that is the reason I love it. It started as a desire to create games (as most gamers do), which then grew into having my own website for my, at the time, CS 1.6 server and so my programming roller coaster spiraled out of control with each practical success I had. And so when I went to university, I felt the things they teach are boring and easy, but could clearly see my fellow classmates having trouble and hating programming.

Great video and super successful connection: Coding & Gym. Things you mentioned make sense and for me as self-tought beginner programmer comparison with gym explains things better. Just finished JAVA course (80+h) and I see now how little I know compared to all JAVA programming possibilities. So I am learning WEB now. BUT maybe you are right - I should look not how little I know in JAVA but how much I know now compared to knowing nothing. Ty.

I've heard you mention this in another video on how helpful it is to have coding buddies. Many of us are not from CS background and struggle to find reliable coding partners. I have joined some Discord channels of coding but haven't found anyone willing to learn and solve problems together. If there are any more ways, websites or channels for coding partners then please do share with us. Thank you!

I teach programming and honestly, it's hard now as an experienced programmer to teach beginners because I really have to put myself in their shoes as I was years ago and try to remember how exactly did I wish I was taught when I didnt understand code. Its really difficult, you have to make numerous assumptions: Do I have to teach this person how to create folders? How to save a file? What an integer means? Do they already know some basic programming and if so how do I NOT make it boring but at the same time not complex?

Still thinking if I study Computer Science. Must wait for a week till I get an answer. If I don't get accepted might as well self teach programming and then do a bootcamp afterwards and go to university next year. I think this is the best way to go about it since I wanna figure out how much I like it and how fast I can learn. Going in there without any plan would be foolish though so I try to figure out what exactly I wanna learn. What I'm aiming for is to make programming/coding my hobby. To do that I wanna give myself time and do things slowly rather than trying to do everything too quickly and then lose motivation and quit. The coding buddy idea is also great. Heh... but currently there is none. Not saying I can't find one. In University it should be no biggie at all. But if I go for the other route hmm... I'm not that sure. Anyways this won't change my plan at all. My curiousity is just much higher. Greetings to ya!
