I finally found the perfect podcast

[@diogokryminice-consultoria1493]

Very good content! I'm an ERP consultant and I'm looking for a programming language to start. This video helped me a lot.

[@BeyondCoding]

Awesome! 🤗

[@BeyondCoding]

Hmm, should everyone learn how to code? What're your thoughts? If you want to support the channel don't forget to like the vid and leave a little comment :)

[@rayusaki88]

Learned some few programming nuggets here. Thanks to you both! Helpful 👍🏻👍🏻

[@BeyondCoding]

Great to hear!

Hello, I am wondering What the opinion of anyone would be about the price of schooling for countries/ regimes that do not believe everyone should have schooling ( paid through taxes) ? I just started to watch this channel and I think this is great, although this video is 2 years old I am finding these conversations interesting and still involved with this society to this day, great video and subjects.

Thank you so much! One of my favourite things about the tech industry is that a lot of solid, quality content is available online, completely for free! Therefore, courses and other type of paid content will have to be excellent to differentiate itself, and in my experience, it's hard to find the content that does.

Been in engineering / product development for 30 years. Aside from the rigors of engineering, I've taught and managed teams of engineers in this same environment. Gotta say that academic engineers I tend to avoid hiring as opposed to those who elevated themselves to the skill by their bootstraps.

[@BeyondCoding]

Interesting! Why is that specifically?

[@johntomasik1555]

@@BeyondCoding Those with "real world" work experience (whether it's something like being a tradesman or even growing up on a ranch) contributes to the practical and efficiency of being an engineer. Those who tend to be steeped deep in academia often lack that. THey'll get wrapped up in theory or the understanding of what's "good enough", and especially undervalue proving their decisions with real world application (such as prototyping). I've worked with a lot of PhD's, and they're largely ineffective in that world.

[@benkaygh7969]

Thanks so much. I love what you are doing

Thank you so much! 🤗

[@wewillprevail2520]

Nice I love it.

[@BeyondCoding]

Thank you so much! 🙌

Five years ago you needed to know excel to find a job, so hopefully in the next 5 years you would need to know some python or Javascript to find a job" I think it's definitely going in that direction😮

[@BeyondCoding]

It's already the case! Depending on what job imo :)

[@jon-tech]

Thank you for the content, it is a good interview but It is annoying to hear your "yeah" after the guest's answers.

[@BeyondCoding]

Thank you! It's been a couple of years since this episode, hope it has improved. Otherwise, let me know :)

[@tomaszgora4353]

Oh man that bit about Facebook creating 10k jobs and developer shortage is the worst case of aged milk I've seen in my life. The pain...

[@benkaygh7969]

So, I completed secondary school in 2019. I want to become a software engineer, so I did research on the industry and how to break through. Most people are saying you don't need a computer science degree to become a software engineer. Most content creators say you can self thought, attending a 6 months boot camp, bla bla bla .... . But when I research on the job market for software engineering , the minimum requirement is a bachelor degree in computer science. No one mentioned self thought or boot camp.

[@BeyondCoding]

I think it's possible to do without a degree, but from a company perspective, if the educational requirement is met, there's less factors to consider. Most applications I've seen have an educational and a "or similar work experience") requirement

Man for god sake ! stop to say "YEAH" in every word said !!
