Programmers are stupid.

Programmers are stupid. but the good ones already know this.
All software developers start off stupid without even knowing it. Before becoming a master coder there are many challenges you face. In this video, I break those challenges down.

because programming, more than about anything else, is more about the journey than a destination. You compete with the whole world trying to be successful at it and with your project, but only a bunch succeeds while other have wasted their time trying. Globalized world of opportunity is also a globalized world of competition where network effect dictates who wins.

[@kennygunderman]

You’re totally right

[@Snoo29293]

@@swojnowski453 I disagree, what do you mean when you say that you have wasted your time? How exactly does one fail? And how does one succeed? Does having a good job mean you have succeeded? And does not having a job mean you have failed? Programming is a never ending journey of learning, there isn't a destination, you cannot succeed, you can only fail if you give up, and you definitely don't waste your time, you would had wasted your time if you had spent it all playing roblox for example, but after years of learning programming you have gained so much more than just the knowledge of how to program, this has changed you as a person, it has changed the way you think things, and also, usually you end up learning a lot more than just programming syntax, like math and physics and other stuff too, a web developer for example could end up learning color theory, photoshop and other things that could be useful to him even if he stopped programming.

[@swojnowski453]

@@Snoo29293 If a good job in programming is a success for you, so be it. It is not for me though. I treat programming as a way of changing the world for better through delivering products, and could not care less about good programming jobs. It is like being a welder who welds for someone else for the whole life. What's the point? You have one life and if you can't organize it, someone else will do ... I do not think you want that, good job is exactly that though. You learn things to do something with them, earning money should never be your goal, it is unfulfilling in the end. If you are good you will earn this or that way. What I call a failure is being a programmer in the world of monopolies like facebook or google, There's been countless facebooks, but hardly any succeeded apart from the original one. The same goes for google. You see, when you want to build a house, if you spend enough time you will build it up and have your own roof over your head. With programming it is not like that, you can build a product and try to compete with the likes of google of fb, you might even spend the whole life doing that ... and never succeed. This is what I meant by failure. What you gain in the process is, as you said yours and valuable, but also worthless if you have not had impact on the reality and it is only you who uses your product ... This is what a failure in the digital age, one of them, is. There are people in the US who have had 30 products and are still homeless. If they were builders at least the would have a house now. There is a colossal competition in the information world, and only few will succeeded , while others will have no choice but move on to doing something else ... or remain wage slaves for the rest of their days.

[@dhyeyshah8252]

@@swojnowski453 You must understand that not every person wants to build the next Google or Facebook. People can have lives outside of programming too. And they are the ones to decide whether they failed or succeeded. There's nothing wrong in being satisfied with a job. If someone wants to be a 'wage slave', it's up to them to decide. Maybe other things matter more to them than money/fame/impact. And I disagree with your take on failures. As long as a person comes out more knowledgeable than before, it's more of a learning experience. Who cares if you couldn't build the next Facebook. If you genuinely enjoyed the process and learned from it, that's all that matters.

Once I got to the acceptance stage of not being able to know everything, learning every day definitely became easier. I am a person who feels they need all the information before trying something but that's impossible in this field lol. No one can master any subject overnight and many folks already know a lot about at least one thing or very skilled in a specific trade. Remember all the steps, training, and research it took to get there. It's the same with programming. I'm a much better guitar player than a programmer but I remember what it was like to struggle and that gives me proof I'm climbing out the valley of dispair. Awesome video!

[@smokinamby]

I will agree with this. 3 days after learning java I was freaking out a bit cuz I was having trouble reading others code on the web. I had to remind myself 'man, you've been doing this for 3 days, what do you expect?' From here the realization was it's all about experience. Few weeks later I was able to read it, confirming my doubts. There's alot of things that make so much more sense after doing a second round through the learning material. Understand what's absolutely fundamental (necessary) like your variables, functions, ect. Imagine learning something like English, if you don't understand every word it will be difficult to understand sentences. Those later words you learn make all the words you learn at the beginning make proper sense.

When you get into the world of programming you end up realizing that everything you know might someday just be outdated and/or worth nothing, you also get to meet people who know like 50x more than you, learning it while having to maintain a family with children and such, studying for a university career and it makes you feel super small. I do get that you could apply this concept to most professions, yet I feel like the knowledge differences you can face between the people you meet can be enormous, and that's such a great thing! This situation gave me the ability and eventually forced me to comprehend that I barely know anything, and that probably the other guy I recently met just knows more about that specific topic I didn't get to learn yet, and that's fine, nobody should be put as inferior or superior, it's a profession where you're expected to share what you know instead of stepping on others, and it makes me feel really excited to keep going.

Great video! I had just been talking about this with a friend yesterday, so relevant.

I'm having trouble with API's and React. For a moment I thought that I'm not meant for this.. your video gave me hope. Thanks man. :)

I'm going to be real... This is the second video that I've watched of yours... The first one being an interview with your Dad! (So awesome by the way! Both your video and your Dad!)... So far I'm enjoying every minute! This video was great! I'm not a dev but one day I hope to be... Currently I'm a "data analyst", I write a lot of queries, work in Excel all the time....... (blah)... Like your Dad I went to school for Computer Science but in my junior year I dropped out due to life changes... This was when I started working in the Call Center for 1.5 years before being accepted into the Corporate world, which is where I have been since... Same job, promoted but still do all the Lvl 1, 2, and 3 as well as expected to help with managerial matters (I was a supervisor for a short time... not my cup of tea)... Anyway I'm trying to get back into programming/coding and hopefully be able to land a job without a finished degree... Super long story (sorry) "short", would you happen to have any advice and/or resources on where I should start when it comes to starting back up??? I know the internet is full of resources but which ones do I trust... So that's why I thought I would ask you because you seem like an awesome person and one that I listen to... BTW, this video was great because of how you were able to share your own experience making it all that more meaningful, thank you!

The latter half when you compare coding with a struggling relationship gave me several gut laughs LOLOL so true. Quality video. Subbed.

Great Content keep up the good work

I take the time to watch this video every few months to remind me it's okay to realize there is still a lot I don't know but also to reflect on what I have learned so far. The video is absolutely brilliant and its message applies not just to programming and IT but really life in general. This vid ranks up there with the This is Water speech.

I so badly needed this right now. I'm in the depth of despair, but i'll bounce back.. soon! THANK YOU!

[@TheApplePooch]

Thank you for the video! I saw this right after I had my coding test (I passed my test. Next is my interview) and yes I felt it so bad (last 2 years) I wanted to just give up with life. But in the end programming is my passion. Whatever it is, you just going to comeback and it‘s like the relationship counselling haha. Thanks for the video! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

You are a phenomenal storyteller. This was way more inspiring then I expected it to be. You got a new subbie in me!

[@kennygunderman]

Thank you 🙏

[@ethankamus4352]

you have no idea how much i needed to see this video. thanks a bunch :D

[@erickmoya1401]

It's so cool to desperate every time I face a totally different technology, but, in the end, always knowing that I will manage to understand this whole thing again. "You learn how to learn" as you said. That's our strength.

This is the first time I am commenting on a youtube video; this just amazing info, thank you for sharing. Just what I needed to hear and at the right time, thank you!

[@colett4954]

Love this video. At 47, learning code... I saw the vid with your dad and it was as inspiring. Thanx
