Stoicism for Programmers

Hi all. This is a short video on my intro to Stoicism for Programmers. Stoicism is a well documented and defined school of thought I could never properly do justice. I kept it as short as I can. :)

As an experienced programmer, everything BigBox talks about is right on. It's clear he knows what he's talking about and dropping very precious gems of knowledge. Another on-point video, my dude!

Anyone can log a journal. As bigboxSWE said, re-reading is the key and the most challenging part! As an aspiring Stoic and a developer, this is spot on! Ty for helping us out man, your videos help me a lot!

[@Ctrl_Alt_Elite]

Thanks BigBocc ❤ this was relatable. I always fluctuate between overwhelm and the mindset you outlined here. It tends to happen accidentally though 😅

[@andriiyakovenko3475]

The share amount of good advice from this channel does astonish me. Journaling absolutely works. Have been keeping few journals for years. Totally recommend to try

[@rbdtrades9790]

I'm not surprised your channel has grown like crazy since your first video. Great work man!

[@blossm1]

you really changed my mindset about programming . I was literally on a pathway to quit it just beacuse of wrong self-believes and approach to it. I love your content keep on going with what you are doing.

[@jonathanjohnson2785]

Clear and powerful message. Above all the mind is our most powerful asset. Danke sehr

[@techlifejournal]

Agree with you 100%, these days I feel calm and relax and eager to learn new things despites of difficulties. Staying calm and focusing on things that we can control is what Stoicism taught me ..

[@vikalpranjan6943]

Your video on how to get out of tutorial hell was best thing happened to me this year. After that i have made multiple projects and has been improving consistently. Thank You

Love your videos buddy, I wish you'd do longerform content so I have longer videos of your's to play while I work :)

Awesome video really love this channel, maybe I will start my journal in nvim. I wanted to write it with a pen, but I broke my dominant hand, so better start now than latter! Stay healthy guys we are not alone :).

I am one of the Indian(Telugu) people learning programming........I am still at basics.......the guy you mentioned in the "very reasonable" is one of the most funny artist in our telugu film industry........I don't know how you found it but I laughed my ass off dude(literally)........I came for the philosphy but found something more than that......I feel less worried after that laughter about not getting past few road-blocks.......

Dude how do you find so many cool images for your videos, seriously? I've made a short video like this but it took me forever to find good images and I couldn't even find it for a few parts, do you search in a specific website?

"Turn your thoughts into a README" Dude please go outside

[@ifiwastheavatar]

Would doing the journaling part work better on a real journal book? Or do you think doing it on the .readme work better?

[@blackfi12e622]

Depends on the individual. Stepping away from the screen and journaling with pen and paper to be beneficial. Alternatively, it’s easier to edit or fix errors in a .readme

[@ifiwastheavatar]

@@blackfi12e622 Thanks!

[@cody_codes_youtube]

I’ve found something on the computer is much easier to reflect because if I want to go back to my previous writings by searching for key words. But I also do that as a work log to help track my progress on stuff.

I think considering to stop torturing yourself is also a good option. If no job at least working on private projects can be fun from time to time.

For suuuuuuuuure. I like to hustler personally, but I know my limit and we all need to be kinder to ourselves

@@cody_codes_youtube Im noticing more and more that i can barely be as consistent because im not "passionate" about anything, for me its only a job. For personal projects is where the fun is.

I am sorry but stoicism is not a silver bullet for managing psychological well being of programmers - it encourages numbing emotions and feelings, which regardless of how painful they might be, they demand a time and place to be felt as part of a healthy psychological well being.

[@vikaswakde]

Indian memes 😂

[@shivamsiddharthasinghrajaw7671]

Are all programmers living the same life ok so listen I'll write a few points and if more than half of them are true then I might be right 1. You were a gamer and switched to programming 2. You were once in tutorial hell or are there right now 3. You have only two phases - superiority complex or - imposter syndrome 4. You love cats 5. On some days you love programming on others you puke at the thought of writing code 6. You are jacked (because strong mind requires strong vessel) or on the way to become jacked 7. You watch anime 8. You would rather stay at home than go out (introvert) 9. You are a stoic or at least try to be one 10. You use some sort of note taking to keep organized (like zettlekasten)

[@lycan2494]

do you ever plan on doing project videos?
