I don't think that you need a 100k views! I think that, if You can help a one single person, change their live, Your job is done! Thanks! I am 41 years old, and you have had helped me a lot! I'm at the struglges of learning how to programming!

You make good videos and have a sensible point of view. It's cool how you made this opportunity for yourself. I like to compare programming to cooking. Programs are just recipes. Not everyone has a friend or family member who works as a programmer, but most of us know at least one person who is a good cook. You start by learning a simple recipe. Then you start changing the recipe a little, like swapping out pinto beans for kidney beans. Eventually you learn more complex meals and techniques. It's not rocket science but can be frustrating in the beginning.

Hi Tom, thanks for watching the video and for your feedback. That’s a really good analogy. Thanks for the support.

how old were you when you started coding for the first time?

[@thedevlife]

I was 22 when I started doing freelance work. I already had a family by then.

Now that Kevin McCarthy is no longer the speaker of the house would it be a good idea for him to learn this rather than play bingo or do whatever people like hiim do?

I am Indian living in Indonesia 44 years Old running small Business and having lot of free time. It was my dream to become a software developer. I can run my business without my presence. So where to start ?. Please advice me.

[@thedevlife]

Frist thing is to pick what field in programming you want to get into. This other video touches on that a bit kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5CygmuebtmmbpI

[@marcelocipriano5985]

Ótimo!

[@retiredoverthinker]

But at what age did you start code?:)

[@thedevlife]

I started learning how to code at 19. Does that matter or are you looking for an excuse to say you can’t do it because you are too old?

[@retiredoverthinker]

Im gonna be 20 verry soon but I dont know if I can find a job in this field,because i dont have a college degree,and I live in germany and is a bitt different(or all of this is an excuse?:))

I'm more concerned that AI tools like CHAT GPT are going to steal much of the programming jobs!

[@thedevlife]

I think it is too soon to worry about that. I think we should leverage AI tools like ChatGPT to make our jobs easier. I am re-reading Clean Code and there is a section where the author mentions that people have been talking about AI taking over jobs for years and he thinks it will never happen.
