It's as simple as practicing - the sooner the better. Start now so you don't bomb that interview you worked so hard to get.

[@dummycodes]

I knew the Allen Iverson practice rant would be useful to me one day

[@suomac7483]

lols thanks really for that ... was totally random for me but I think I'll always play it in my mind when I open my IDE

[@EDC.EveryDayCode]

Right on, that advice is spot on... And for people who are uncomfortable just writing their own programs, they need to PRACTICE the implementations of the fundamentals; loops, conditionals, data types, handling errors, figuring out order of operations, and so forth. Great vid man!

[@dummycodes]

thank you!

[@shpadza100]

that intro slapped

[@dummycodes]

If fit perfectly ahh

[@francescagreetham1804]

Off I go to start practicing today! Thank you so much for this. Especially the part about being present - it doesn’t have to be right. Just be there!

[@GothicWiccan61]

Thanks to your channel and others I decided to give coding a try, I'm taking a course and I love it. I'm taking my time out to study study study and practice everyday with breaks of course lol I'm putting in at least 4hrs per day with my lecture + notes examples and then practice.

[@umeloonyejiaka1255]

Dope what language are you learning

[@dummycodes]

shit if you're putting in 4 hours I'll put in 4 hours

[@GothicWiccan61]

@@umeloonyejiaka1255 I'm learning Scratch and C at the moment, it's what being taught in the CS50 course with Harvard

[@JakubSK]

@@GothicWiccan61Scratch is a waste of time. C, Python, Go, and Rust.

[@karnez05]

I challenge myself, coding is hard AF for me

[@abmnq]

Really good stuff man I’m doing coding in college right now and you definitely need to practice to stay on top of the assignments.

[@dummycodes]

exactly especially if you want a job right out

[@landonlloyd4324]

I hacked through freecodecamp algorithm section very slowly. I finished the section in august and haven’t touched algorithms again. 😂😬 I am still working through freecodecamp curriculum though. This is a good video. I really like the sports analogy. Keep up the great work! I was gone all day and missed the upload almost. Glad I scrolled through notis😂 It’s also hard because I’m on chromebook and don’t have a local dev station. Could really use the MacBook lol.

[@UiliamKnhoto]

Thanks for this motivation! Keep coding! 🇧🇷

[@sijilo]

One thing in life of programming, is never stop learning and creating logics And there is difference between competitve programming and going to a collaborative work space, as an team player as you dont have to know everything, you can get help, and sharing ideas, and building an whole infrastructure from different ideas

[@dummycodes]

Exactlyy

[@mrhalcrowful]

1hr a day is a good initial goal to make it sustainable. Loved your point that just being there and putting in the time is the important thing, even if you don't solve a problem in that time

[@aaronbrown3820]

Your point @2:20 has harsh ramifications and the tech community hasn't realized it yet, if the problems continue to get more difficult , and positions are scarce, the field can get hyper competitive

[@haisemjemal3767]

Another thing is not cracking under pressure cuz when the interviewer is staring at you expecting you to code like a god, its hard not to just blank out

[@dummycodes]

true but that pressure for the most part disappears if you've seen a problem before. That's where I want you guys to be, same for myself. Work on enough problems so that you are less likely to be surprised

[@rubyc7771]

I have a coding test tomorrow and I am sitting here regretting all the months I didn't practice. First round of coding challenges, there wasn't anyone watching me so, I googled up the stupidest thing without sweating. I know tomorrow will be different and I'm already sweating 🥵

[@feijaodo]

Wow! Two videos in a week. It's Christmas!

[@dummycodes]

I’m trying out here

[@Gvnrae]

I needed the video

[@dummycodes]

the video was made for you!

[@Sirchingsince]

Whoah...your glow up!😎👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[@dummycodes]

Thank you friend

[@Sirchingsince]

Anytime, friend!

[@suomac7483]

I think i'll be start with 30-1hr for now so that i start somewhere that I can maintain so that I can Iprove that with time ... Thanks Larry

[@Lintlikr1]

How much does it suck that you have to do leetcode or hackerrank questions over and over again 'practicing' something that you know you'll never use when you get hired? I fking hate my life having to do this shit. A while ago I spent a month doing this shit every day and it barely helped at all when I took the actual tests. Guess what I didnt get the job and didnt do well enough according to the hiring manager. A few months later when I decided to start looking for a job again, all that work I did was for nothing and I have to start all over 'practicing' this useless shit again. Man fuck technical tests.

[@taurusthebull08]

I started practicing on leetcode everyday and I was feeling so down on myself for struggling with the easy problems until I realized I wasn’t the only one...I was like dang maybe I’m not as smart as I thought i was Lol

[@asdfkjhlk34]

If its extra hard it may be because you need to review background knowledge on data structures and algorithms

[@dummycodes]

yeah everyone starts like that, but the more you practice the more tools you gain to figuring out problems

[@jazminexx6770]

@@asdfkjhlk34 what algorithms and data structures should I specifically learn?

[@asdfkjhlk34]

@@jazminexx6770 graphs trees and lists and the algorithms that manipulate them is my best guess, im not sure though

[@0Mynameisearl0]

Since the plan is to start looking for another job in early 2021, I figure I’ll start now about 2 hrs a day after work. Low key dreading it cause I’ll know I’ll feel like an idiot the first few weeks struggling with easy problems lol

[@dummycodes]

it is what it is but stay solid for the next 3 months you will be fine you got this . if you company is hiring refer me so i can take your spot when you leave ahha

[@0Mynameisearl0]

Dummy Codes shoot I don’t think you wanna work on this old ass legacy code base lol.

[@Lintlikr1]

Why don't companies send you a project to build in the fucking stack they use and code review it like you were actually fucking working there so you know... they test you on something that actually matters to the job?

[@maeve3096]

I love using CodeWars to practice for the coding tests.

[@dummycodes]

wow your second comment

[@miscmem.6057]

The intro though 😂😂

[@TheAmeer3881]

True but practice don't mean starting at a computer smashing your head against the wall for 8 hours.

[@dummycodes]

who said that?

[@yuanzhang3857]

welp my code screening is due in 3 hrs and its supposed to take 2.5 hrs

[@hrithikanchaliya888]

i heard you bro.

you can!

Give me a honest answer bro , how many hours did u used to study?

[@dhrubonil891]

did ds and algorithm in school, after that never tried, maybe one day I gotta try it again. expecting to win the giveaway and love from Bangladesh.

What was the name of the website to practice programming language? 👀 & im going to dedicate two to three hours everyday. I will take that L everyday until I get it right

leetcode.com/problemset/all/ and www.hackerrank.com/domains/sql?filters%5Bstatus%5D%5B%5D=unsolved&filters%5Bdifficulty%5D%5B%5D=easy&badge_type=sql are two good one

Practice?!

[@dummycodes]

WE TALKIN BOUT IT

[@yagolopez6186]

These interviews are totally unrealistic and a lottery. They have nothing to do with real work. The best we can do to protect our profession is to deny us as a collective to do these interviews. Have you ever seen a medical doctor obligated to pass a practical exam to be hired? Have you ever seen a civil engineer to be obligated to design a bridge in an online interview with terrible tools and under high pressure and very limited time to be hired? That´s the problem with this profession. We are not a serious and strong collective like civil engineers or medical doctors. We dont have dignity or respect for ourselves probably because there are a lot of impostors.

[@mastete002]

[@dummycodes]

I beat you to it

[@JakubSK]

Assessment tests are ridiculously bad way too vet prospective applicants.
