Been a programmer and dev for 26 years, what I told the kids I mentored was, knowing variables, loops, arrays, methods, constructors, etc doesn't make you a programmer, solving problems does. You only become better by seeing more problems, including the ones you create 😂. Also if you feel overwhelmed you aren't thinking small enough.

[@lukas.webdev]

Yes, 100%! 😉

[@PhilLesh69]

You know you are a programmer when you have an idea for a function or a solution to a bug but don't have a laptop or phone handy, so you start coding with a pen and paper, and when you get back to the office and type it in, your code works without too many fixes. People who rely on frameworks might be able to jot down a flow diagram or simple pseudo code to describe the solution, if they're lucky. But they aren't going to know how to write a for each block from memory, or the parameter list of a common function call.

I've been learning by almost a year and a half and one of the most encouraging messages that I heard was, give yourself time. We live in a culture where everyone wants immediate results, but this just lead to frustration.

[@PhilLesh69]

I began learning programming in 1985 when I was in high school. I learned basic and Cobol first. I'm 53 now. I still feel like an idiot and I still think everyone is a better programmer than I'll ever be. Just keep doing it. The more you do it, the better you get at it.

@@PhilLesh69 it's hard to overcome the imposter syndrome, I think this is linked to our expectations, but anyway we need to overcome this feeling one day at a time.

[@PhilLesh69]

I worked at a company in 1999 and set up their servers for their website. 5 servers on a rack and two BigIP load balancers at a data center. I wrote a bunch of administrative scripts in perl. I left that company in 2003. I was rehired in 2015. 4 of the 5 servers were still running, one had never been rebooted since I originally mounted it on the rack, and they had only added three more servers in the interim years. One, a raid server for more storage, and two more mysql slaves to improve reads and throughput. Most of my Perl scripts were still there with only minor edits. But if you ask me, I wouldn't tell you I know how to set up a website, I would probably tell you that there are really smart people who know a lot more about how to do that, maybe go ask them. Lol.

[@gentlemanjack4083]

Learning programming is like bouncing between endless edges of multi-dimensional pinball table of knowledge. Most important thing is to write, write, write and if you are stuck find how to fix it and come back to writing. Second most important thing is to spend a lot of time understanding the basics - your head is like a workshop with tools. Even if you don't have a chainsaw in your workshop to cut the trees but you have enough tools you will be able eventually to build the chainsaw or at least you will know how it works so you can avoid a lot of problems and maybe save a hand or two.

[@GrahamAtDesk]

Nice video, you make some great points. On those outliers who seem like they got good really quickly, we need to remember that this is a craft that you can spend a lifetime learning. So while we should all make sure we celebrate our progress, if these quick learners you mentioned showed their work to somebody with 5 years more experience I'm sure they'd be able to get some really good constructive feedback. I'm just over 25 years in, currently working as an engineering coach, but still learning every day. This career is a gift for people who enjoy the act of learning new stuff. Your point about putting effort into the fundamentals is spot on. The time I spent studying naming and refactoring 20 years ago has paid off every year since. But the 5 years I spent getting good at Perl (and a component-based web framework called Mason - yes, components were a thing!) were just a stepping stone to all the tech that followed it. We mustn't forget to neglect our tools either. Learning the tools that come with your operating system (particularly if it's Unix-based) always pays off. I find the people I coach can benefit significantly by learning how to put a few simple Unix commands together (e.g. find, grep).

I really like motivational videos like this, because there are so many moments along the way, when you are down, and in lack of confidence to continue. It is pretty difficult to choose the best possible path to follow, because a student (obviously) doesn't know the field he wants to learn. The advices you gave are great help though! Choose a person you like, choose the course he made, and stick to it till the end. After it you can still expand the knowledge you have, and look for other courses, that have that specific thing you felt missing. Thank you for the advices! Great video!

[@coderbdev]

25+ years, and I am still learning. You are 100% correct on learning the foundations of programming. Foundational programming knowledge will translate between languages. Whether it is front end or back end, learn the fundamentals of those areas, and you will have a MASSIVE jumpstart on a long term, successful, career in programming. IMO, learning or having great problem-solving skill is just as important as the programming side. That way, you will be on your way to being a successful Sr Level Developer, or Software Architect. Opportunities open up with mastering these fundamental skills.

Great video! I’ve found that a great way of learning a new framework, is to re-write some of your own older projects. I got a lot better at JavaScript once I decided to get rid of jQuery and write everything as compact and understandable as possible. And React was (surprisingly) easy to learn, when I rewrote an old PHP-project of mine. Really helps in understanding how the new tools helps you solve the same old problems (in a better way)!

[@KusuKijeru]

I'm a newbie, but I'd like to share a little about my programming learning journey. I started by watching KZbin videos on where to start, and based on general opinions, I began with Python (I had learned some Pascal and VB in school many years ago). So, I started watching tutorials, creating learning programs from beginner to expert videos. At the time, I was working at a company as a bike delivery person. After the tutorial, now I'm an expert! 😄 I started creating a program to help the letter delivery company. Basically, I was programming from one problem to another, fixing and moving on to the next problem. I learned a lot with this program I created because it evolved from importing data from Excel, creating Excel sheets and data tables, comparing data, having inputs, and even interfacing with Tkinter. My program had many uses for the company. Right away, even before it was completed, I already had the company using it and loving it because they could scan the letters, and the program would tell them with images and sounds if that letter needed to be returned to base, reposted to mail, or still wait for feedback. Before my program, the company was doing this with Excel, which was slow. At this point, I was getting "good" at Python. I totally understood its essence, but I kind of hated the user interface (UI) I created in Figma and coded in Tkinter. It felt like a program from 2000, and we're in 2023. So, I started looking for other libraries and ways to make my Python program look good. I ended up finding a KZbin channel where a guy created really good-looking dashboards with Java and NetBeans. I initially thought, "No, no," but of course, I went into KZbin and started with beginner to expert Java tutorials. I also did the Google Grasshopper courses, which were really good. I totally recommend them, and they give certificates for free. Well, now I was a "Java expert" or not. I started recreating my whole program in Java, and I have to say, I fell in love with Java. For me, I prefer Java over Python. It changed everything for me. I don't know if it's the best way to program or not, but it's "my style." I love creating methods in a Java file and calling them as the backend, getting the whole code in there, and then just calling the methods in other Java files as I need them. But again, I faced problems from one issue to another while working on the program. However, this time it was actually fun. When I was adding sounds, I accidentally discovered that the whole code, like 100 lines of "math" to do comparisons, etc., already existed in Java itself. I think it was the built-in "equals" function or something similar. So basically, after two weeks of thinking and problem-solving, I discovered I could replace 100 lines with one word. It was part of the learning process. Now my Java program had a beautiful UI, and the beeping part was working again. I had removed the Excel inputs and decided to create some tables by pasting from the clipboard, which the company loved. After that, I created a login system with auto-login, and I decided to do some web scraping with Selenium. So, there was no more copying from the pasteboard; my Java app was going to get the data directly from the website. With this, I added new features. After separating the letters, we had to input them into the system one by one, beeping as we went. Now, with web scraping and some automation, my app was doing it all on its own. We just had to use the separate letters tool, press play, and the computer would take over the mouse and do everything as if it were a person. At this point, I was no longer delivering letters; I was working in the company's office. All of this happened within a month. But sadly, this program came a bit too late for the company. It was a franchising company, and they had a lot of past problems due to the tons of manual work they had to do. So, while my program was saving the company, it was too late, and the owner decided to close the company. Other similar companies did not trust buying my app, even if I offered them a free test. It's quite sad. I decided, "Well, let's go learn some HTML, CSS, and JavaScript." The owner of the company asked me to create a webpage for him, and he paid me, but it was a simple page. It had to have a form, fill out a PDF, and send the PDF via email. With my Java knowledge, some Googling, and now ChatGPT, I started using it. I was able to create it, but it wasn't the best. I encountered a ton of problems with the PDFs, and the email was receiving blank PDFs. However, somehow I managed to make it work. I had never programmed with promises and asynchronous methods, so it was tough. I didn't fully understand what I was doing, especially with sending the email because I created the PDFs with JavaScript. I retrieved data from the document inputs and created the PDF with a library called jsPDF. So basically, if you know Java, learning JavaScript becomes quite easy. I had a million problems, and it took me about a month to create the website, which is a simple webpage, but it's working. Creating my own projects helped me grow a lot. So, if someone is starting, my advice is to learn a foundational language like Python or Java, and then move on to web development with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. After that, you can dive into web application development, like Django (if you're into Python) or Spring (if you're into Java). However, I can't provide much advice on web application development because at this stage, it's really confusing what to do. You can use JavaScript or React for both the front end and back end and send dynamic data to the front end. It's a bit messy, and I'm still trying to figure it out. But based on my experience (which may not be the best, just my opinion), starting with a foundational language like Python or Java and then transitioning to web development is a good approach. If I were to start again, I would choose Java instead of Python, but Django also seems really good. So, the best advice is to choose one or two streams, one language, follow tutorials, challenge yourself to create something, and don't use ChatGPT initially. Don't keep searching for language comparisons; just choose one and stick with it. An amazing thing about programming is that whatever you think is possible, and a computer can do it, either Python or Java can handle it. The rest are just "patches." It all comes down to the foundational programming languages. I'm sorry for the huge comment, but I hope it helps someone who reads it.

[@denniszenanywhere]

Felt like this video was speaking to me directly. This is so true. I've been bouncing around from one framework to another, for the past 5 years, so I have only made slow progress and no web dev job and I ended up disregarding other skills I excel in. Maybe because I can't make it as a coder is the reason I keep doing it compared to other skills I find easier -- UX, graphic, web design, writing, marketing etc -- all things I could have explored more if only I didn't start learning coding 5 years ago. Which I have yet to crack. I wished I were other people who quit for good. I can't seem to quit, even if I am so bad at it.

I just wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for your amazing content. As someone who is relatively new to the world of web development, your vlogs have been an incredibly valuable resource for me. One thing that stands out to me about your videos is your passion for JavaScript and the various frameworks built on top of it. While I initially found the language to be intimidating and overwhelming, your enthusiasm for it has made me see it in a whole new light. You have a way of explaining complex concepts in a clear and concise manner that makes them easy to understand and implement, whether it's vanilla JavaScript or one of the many frameworks available. In fact, I have to admit that listening to you talk about JavaScript frameworks has made me fall in love with them myself. Your tutorials and code-alongs have helped me gain a deeper understanding of how frameworks like React, Angular, and Vue work and how they can be used to create amazing web applications. It's been fascinating to see how these frameworks can make development faster, more efficient, and more enjoyable. But it's not just your technical expertise that I appreciate. I also love your personality and the way you connect with your audience. You have a great sense of humor and a down-to-earth approach that makes your videos fun and engaging to watch. Overall, I just wanted to say thank you for all that you do. Your content has inspired me to keep learning and growing as a web developer, and I can't wait to see what new insights and tips you have in store for us in the future.

[@NomaanulHasan]

I found this video to be highly relatable, as it spoke directly to my own experiences. With a decade of UI development under my belt, I primarily relied on HTML, CSS, and jQuery throughout the majority of my career-approximately eight years, to be precise. However, I eventually expanded my skill set by learning React, TypeScript, and Next.js. Unfortunately, I didn't prioritize reinforcing my JavaScript fundamentals through practical application. Reflecting on this now, I realize the importance of having practiced JavaScript earlier. Nevertheless, I firmly believe that it's never too late to enhance one's skills. I am grateful for the advice shared in the video, as it has proven to be tremendously valuable to me. Thank you sincerely for your guidance.

[@aminarahman2429]

Wow, thanks a ton for this video!!! I needed someone telling me these things!

[@comasmusica7548]

I can so relate to this video. My current hobby project has JavaScript and JQuery on the client, and C# on the server. And yes, there are probably tons of libraries that can make my life easier - but you can't keep up and in the end it boils down to JavaScript and C# anyway. By this I indeed manage to get a firm grasp on those languages. That's what counts as a basis.

[@attila2246]

Everyone has their own path but really you should avoid JQuery. It is dead at this point and teaches many bad habits, a lot of the time you just call the function without understanding what it's really doing. Especially on a hobby project where you don't have time pressure and a client or boss breathing down your neck.

Hello Kyle! I was wondering about the self-made project part: Been learning for JavaScript quite a while now, and I'm deeply involved with wristwatches as a hobby. Mechanical wristwatches (like any mechanical systems) aren't as accurate as electronic ones, and therefore they have a daily deviation (cheaper ones around -15/+15 seconds per day, good ones are -2/+4) and I had the idea for building a website where I can "sync" my watches to an NTP time, store and graph out these accuracy values. I built the site for the NTP time syncing, the graphing, and whatnot (from a pre-recorded table of these deviations) but I'm not sure which backend language would be the most suitable and easiest to learn to make a simple and safe login system where other people can log in, add their collection of watches, and store these timing run values I thought about PHP first, but everywhere I looked online said it was going out of fashion, and I wouldn't like to "waste time" by learning it enough to carry the project with it. Any ideas about where I could begin with a project like this? Many thanks, Walnuts

This was a much-needed video, Kyle. Thank you so much for putting this out there. I learned the solutions you talked about the hard way. I realised I didn't have my basics clear, which was the reason I got overwhelmed. As soon as I completed learning the core JS, ES6, Async JS, etc., I felt confident and ready to learn React or any other framework 🙌🏻

[@gourmetpro6784]

his only putting it out there because now its much easier to earn money by teaching people how to code because now IT industry is already full when lots of people can easily learn fullstack and just flood into the industry.

I’m trying to move to a web dev career late in life. I’ve done a fair bit of web programming but in a very weird environment without needing fancy stuff. I’ve learned a lot from you, Fireship, net ninja, traversy, fun fun function etc, but I’m finding it really hard to land interviews.

[@kenmtb]

I'm thinking it is the market, remote jobs and incredibly unrealistic expectations of employers. If you look at JR listings, they want "expertise" in a laundry list of skills. It is clearly an employer's market right now.

[@abishekbaiju1705]

Thanks man for this video. Loved the insights

[@someusername789]

Love the bookshelf, thought I was watching one of the booktuber channels I follow for a second! First Law FTW! Great video.

[@WebDevSimplified]

Love that series

[@harmez7]

ive had never seen you from side, you're BIG! this was an incredibly helpful video thank you so much

[@SamHartmannCom]

Thanks a lot for confirming what I already had in mind: focus on the fundamentals & the things that haven't changed fundamentally over the years (but are still the basic building blocks of the web): HTML, CSS, JS

[@muhammad4609]

This vidoe (just like your others) make feel relax, Thank you man!

[@biniyamwolde4338]

Thanks man, Great video!!

[@stephenm3874]

Could not agree more. I've been in the industry since 1990 in Atlanta and have been so fortunate to have lived it from pretty much the beginning. The industry is all about building on the fundamentals. Yes there are always going to be new ways to implement these to accommodate shifts in usage but at the core it's always layered on the fundamentals. This is where the basic mathematics, protocols and engineering platforms live. Master these and you'll be able to discern how and why new implementations present and evolve so you'll be prepared to evaluate and choose the new "shiny" for yourself. Btw, there is maybe five youtube channels I go to for info for current web development and this is definitely one of them. Thank you Kyle for your talent and efforts. It's always excellent.

[@Domixnator]

What are the other channels out there you personally recommend for web dev? IMO Kyle is decent and love watching his videos.

[@gmd2171]

Loved this new studio room bro ❤ looking so fresh

[@FireMuscle11]

Thank you bro, youve help me alot snce the start of my programing career. Respect to you and your channel.

[@benteiko9188]

Helpful reminders, thanks.

[@urahara264]

The intro is just hilarious , Beautiful content !!

[@fantasticfreddie]

Really liked this one, I wouldn't mind seeing more of these kind of talky videos.

[@pamphilemkp5841]

Thanks 🙏 for the insights

[@cest_sa_belle]

Thank you for this video Kyle

[@DevlogBill]

Very good video, It shows how passionate you are about what you do.

[@foxdog9332]

thank you for saying this...been learning python/javascript for the last year and this is exactly how it feels.

[@EliKennedy]

Great advice on making learning enjoyable for yourself. Another way to do that is set micro goals that mean you get little successes along the way. You get that little dopamine hit of kicking a goal.

[@boonloveslove]

First time seeing that Kyle person has a body as well, so far the only thing we have seen is his head teaching us things haha! Great job man!

[@vergil_389]

the greatest full stack web dev channel on youtube, Thank you for all your videos :D

[@blueghost512]

Regarding Fireship, I don’t think his channel is targeting Dev juniors, he’s more like for the seniors I admire his work as a senior because he delivers the most important things in a timely manner. Because currently we have tutorials out there teaches you how to center a div in a 33 minutes video

[@ianthehunter3532]

If only there was a universal standard for most optimised way of creating websites that would excellently present the steps needed for implementation of a feature. No need for security concern, slow loading, bloat ...

[@ipodtouch470]

@@ianthehunter3532 The lack of these standards is one of the reasons why some people argue software engineering isn’t an engineering discipline.

[@alexm9104]

Fireship is for new tech evaluation and memes. And it's for everyone, I think.

[@davien001]

I think there's a 15 hour react router tutorial on KZbin.

[@simonorange4191]

So true! And excellent tips!

[@SlickStatus]

Thank you ❤ very helpful

[@adeyemiodusina3826]

Thanks for sharing... this has instill my confidence more.

[@Factss_101]

Thanks for clarification! You've got a new sub..

[@egemen_ozturk]

Amazing intro, loved it!

[@MYount]

In MIT xPro Coding boot camp. I cannot stress enough, become a learner and learn everything out there. Even if you just read about other languages, it's better to see why and how we got here. Keep learning!

[@Metalvain4]

Been programming for 2 years and some days I still feel like I've barely scraped the iceburg. Thanks for the sound advice and motivation, Kyle.

[@Greedygoblingames]

Been programming for the past 35+ years and still feel like I've barely scraped the surface. There will always be more I don't know than I do know! 🤯

[@smash746]

Such useful information thank you 🙏
