Time For a Change.

[@benixmaximus]

I appreciate how authentic you are

[@UjjwalSidhu]

Nah, we feel you fam-it's a tough cycle. Whether you’re a developer or an artist there's a point where the pressure to cater to an audience or an algorithm starts to weigh heavy. We do everything in our power to create something, hoping it'll resonate, but there is always a thought creeps up again and again; "Will it perform well? Will people get it? How do I make it more better? What if someone doesn't likes it? what if-" It’s a tough man...creating something meaningful and trying not to lose yourself in metrics or external validation. And It’s even harder when something you have poured hours and hours of time into doesn’t land like you’d hoped; it stings we can't help it we are humans after all, comparison is inevitable kinda...But there is something very beautiful about it, creating because you love it, even if the world doesn’t always recognize it. I have been living on a motto (it was unconscious at first but then I realised what I was doing, and I was happy with it- not all will aggress with me but some circumstances made me as who I am.): "Give it your all, even if you don’t get anything back." It’s a tough mindset, the world we live in right now is-is driven by instant gratification, AHHH I remembered a very good quote just now from Desmond Doss(said in the movie: 'Hacksaw Ridge' its a biopic on him); “With the world so set on tearing itself apart, it doesn’t seem like such a bad thing to put a little back together.” Staying true to yourself and your passion, even when it’s tough, is what really keeps you moving forward. Hope this helps a bit and please take some rest, enjoy what you do Ik you are enjoying but just keep it easy don't worry too much about algorithm. We all know what kind of information you provide us with and it's amazing I really really appreciate what you do for the community and I am pretty sure we all think the same, So please take your time don't force yourself and just live create what you want :D hahaha I went on a little rant ;-sorry for that🙌

[@CodingWithLewis]

Couldn't agree more. There is nothing more intimidating than the "out of 10" system on KZbin studio. You often have to see yourself become completely different before you realize that you have drifted far from your original motives. Excited for more vids Josh!

[@lineupp9199]

Thank you I was going through the exact same feeling recently. Now I know I’m not the only one, it make me feel so much better

[@AliHamdan-f8t]

Bro. I really learned too much from your 12 hour videos. Things that I am using in my current job. Big thanks ❤. Vielen Dank

[@NizzyABI]

respect for your honesty. thanks for this josh

[@nro337]

Thanks for your honesty and input. We encourage you to do what you enjoy the most, life is too short otherwise!

[@ejoojoo]

i love your videos, it’s short and concise. don’t ever doubt yourself!

[@abdullahiskifoglu]

Bro I'm started programming with you, and I love your all content. Thank you for everything, and keep going how you feel good.

[@kushaltanna5569]

thanks for all the projects and videos man..! you have played a very important role in my learning

[@Channel-cy4lh]

Thank you, Josh! Your videos are an amazing boost for creativity, ideas, and learning, regardless of what you discuss. Do what makes you happy.

[@devkasunlakshitha]

Bro, I loved your 12-hour video. Learned so much! Thanks for doing that. ❤

[@anonimato1987]

Kumpel, your videos are among the best regarding web dev. Just make the content and people will watch it cuz it's good. Forget about the algorithm. And congratulations on the Wohnung. Ein Umzug in DE kann ein bisschen stressig sein.

[@ksg7882]

Love your videos. Very unique and learned a lot

[@moddell]

Really appreciate this chief. I took a couple months off because I put too much pressure on getting x number of videos out a week. I had to change my routine to get back into it and im back to loving it again!

[@derHowitzer]

I have been following your channel since 2022 and I am thankful for the fact that I subscribed to you. You are one of the best teachers when it comes to learning full stack web dev and getting ideas for SaaS businesses as well. Much love and strength to you brother. Hope to see you grow

[@mickyduo2000]

we love you Josh! Algorithm or not❤️❤️❤️

[@ChichaGad]

That wallpaper lmfao!! 🤣

[@wego-k4811]

Josh likes what he likes. But it's cool 😊

[@MDFireX5]

God, I thought he would make a coming out say that his boyfriend forbids him to make videos

[@6little6fang6]

I appreciate your sincerity.

[@clickclickenvy9220]

Welcome back Josh, I missed your amazingly valuable content.

[@Deus-lo-Vuilt]

You do an amazing job and every video is always great, I didn't think you would go through that kind of thing, nice to have you here more often.

[@VincentFulco]

You are one of the GOATs. All the best

[@tadaspetra]

The KZbin grind gets everybody. It’s sooooo hard to not pay attention to the algorithm, but that is the best way to stay sane

[@viktarstar2119]

Bro - you are the best of the best)) your video is amazing every time.

[@abdelrahmanmostafa9489]

continue with the full stack SAAS product videos and forget about the algorithm we all love you! :) I am about to finished your new tutorial and I am waiting for the next one!

[@hrsikeisa]

Its a combination of neuroticism and perfectionism. Every content creator has to attempt pleasing the algorithm, but some times it's helpful having a streamer mindset - which emphasizes on being your best and showing up. Practically it means sometimes focus on the "Josh" part rather than "tried coding part" - chances are we will watch anything you upload, just like this video.

[@SugengWahyudi]

Your explanation was so clear josh, please keep making videos or courses

[@KarlbergTM]

Relatable, sometimes it feels like throwing food at a wall and seeing what sticks. And when you have been preparing and cooking the food for weeks and it doesn't stick to the wall, then it doesn't feel that great..

[@varunsalat619]

as your genuine subscriber I wish that you grow more and more on this platform. I really love your complete SAAS webapp tutorials. Keep them coming.🎉😇

[@wego-k4811]

I just love your content Josh, no matter what. It's through your videos that I've learned and advanced so much in JavaScript 👍🏻👍🏻

[@EinChris75]

Fighting the algorithm is really tough. In particular, when the algorithm seems to be like hate and lies more than good and educational content. I am not that much into that "full stack", "hey I found a new library" thing, because I still believe in rfc3439 and xkcd2347. That being said, it's still nice to find someone who shows what is possible with that kind of stuff.

[@nmastroianni]

Love your content Josh! Glad you took a break to recenter. Even more glad that you're back.

[@BjornPettersen]

Dude, what's up with creators these days creating all these multi-hour videos..? I mean I don't do React/Next.js, I hate tailwind, and I had idea what Hono.js was, and I've probably "done web-development" for longer than you've been alive..., so why am I watching your 12 hour video? It's because your content is good, both technically and presentation-wise, and more than that.. I'm always motivated to go build something after watching. Imposter syndrome s**ks, and nothing I can say will change that, but remember that nobody is perfect and nobody expects you to be perfect. As long as you don't quit it will gradually disappear and before you know it you'll be an old fart saying things like "done web-development for longer than.." in a youtube comment ;-) Keep up the good work, I really appreciate your talent and your dedication -- and listen to your elders when we tell you that breaks are "a good thing" :-)

[@broskisnajdy]

haha nice comment!

[@victorbuikem]

Thanks for sharing.

[@The.Meshhh]

Can relate - Currently struggling - Don't know how to get out of feeling that way - stuck in a rut almost

[@excessivecoding]

i feel like a lot of content creator fall into this trap. happy to see you choose the other path! congrats on getting your first apartment, this is a huge step forward!

[@akuoko_konadu]

❤❤❤ it shall be well Josh

[@Paul_Marek]

Congrats on the realization brother!! Looking forward to more from you.

[@gamingwolf3385]

Ok , let be honest , you are a content creator , a developer that i like watching , you give me ideas and news i didn't know about yet Bro continue , we are intetested to see you in a future videos

[@Proximity221]

Take your time fam, we will always be here!

[@aghileslounis]

As soon as you start playing the money game, you'll eventually end up losing hard. It can be mentally, physically, emotionally... You name it. For some it's worth the sacrifice, for others it's not even a question. The best life imo is to live like an artist.

[@tobitacklestech]

crazy honest words! Thank you

[@lez-fez]

I love your work

[@kumrogames]

Great video as always! It was great that you took some time off, but i'm sure most if not all of us that subscribed to you are always happy with your videos. I've learned alot from your work and hope you never worry if the video is good enough. Someone will always learn something they didnt know from your videos so dont let that stress you out. later man

[@TomNook.]

We understand. Post whenever you want, on whatever you want

[@wandenreich770]

as developers we are always looking for tech tea..if you continue supplying it, eventually, the algorithm will align with you

[@Salah-YT]

Bro whatever you do in the future do it for beginners people so intermediate and advanced people they don't watch videos so it's up to you and make sure not long then 5 hours okay thanks and keep it up ❤😊

[@davor-debrecin]

Never let the opinions of others drown out your inner voice - I think Steve Jobs said something like that in that famous speech

[@greatnile]

full respect👍

[@avioflagos]

Dude do whatever! 😂 We'd watch it... Always! Loads of appreciation champ🙏

[@erickgonzalez4276]

Du bist stark, du bist groß, keep going!

[@EPIC-ev4lx]

I will always watch your videos no matter what

[@keshavakumar9828]

we support you either way josh. keep up the good work

[@2kceltics]

You've already built a community with more than 160k subscribers... That's a lot of people that enjoy your work an ideas... Don't be too harsh thinking about to get new subscribers or youtube algorithms... It is what it is, the content is good, you are a good programmer and that's all.

[@SnailMoz]

You are preety awesome authentic, Josh! Keep up with the good work.

[@mutantmantish6141]

Keep going.... Your videos are good.

[@Luxcium]

Did you cut your hair specially for this video you look so sharp!!!

[@rasmic]

needed this gang, thanks bro

[@denissorn]

Thanks for the nice work/content! Content I feel is missing in JS/TS and/or more frontend focused world is non SaaS, serverless, commercial libraries and frameworks perspective and efforts (There are certainly some, but ). Like building applications which may take longer to develop, but are much easier to maintain, because one doesn't have a gazillion libraries to track and update, and backward compatibility issues. Also, stuff that isn't deployed in the cloud but on prem, doesn't need auto scaling (because most companies don't actually serve millions of users), and uses own, simple auth implementations instead of 'easy' third party commercial libraries (Because most companies and many people don't want to send customer data to a third party etc.). RoR, Laravel, Dotnet, Go etc communities are so much better in this regard. Maybe because they don't care about UX or smth.

[@Huntabyte]

Relatable bro.

[@ProgrammingWithSatyamP]

Love you Josh brother ❤❤

[@samson_jeyanthan]

We appreciate you Josh, keep going...

[@avioflagos]

We love you Joshhhhhhhhh🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

[@noahpittman]

take care of yourself josh! we want you to be happy a whole lot more than we want content.

[@emilioalcantara3277]

Dude, I sometimes code along and I sometimes just watch it, but I’ll definitely watch even a 24-hour videos if it comes from Josh.

[@tamirfri1]

the results talks for themselves

[@hugoalyra]

The best part of this video was the like a boss exit

[@bozzhik]

Hey. bro chill, take a rest and come back to record videos. We really need them, dont worry about some topics, we love every of your video, your content is something unique and usefull. With love from Russia

[@thomschery2800]

Josh, you are great guy! That's it.

[@BooksWeCanRead]

💜💜💜💜

[@hustler2693]

Jost please try to create a video using Next js new version , with docker and kubernetes actually we need this full stack version from you. If it is possible please make it. Thank you for everything.

[@Sandeep-zd6dq]

Bro I love your content and for that it doesn’t matter if I have to fuck the KZbin algorithm by manually going to your channel and pick the new ones which I usually do 😂😎

[@riveto_ir]

Cool Josh ✌🏻 if you are a reader I suggest reading The Anxious Perfectionist by Clarissa W. Ong. It changed mylife. Peace ☮

[@saralightbourne]

youtube algo is crap. i find your videos useful and interesting though, the way you provide information. hope you get out of that cycle

[@zezoeg]

Imposter Syndrome Strikes again, and yes totally can relate, but not as a content creator tho, hope you the best wishes and thank you for all your videos and knowledge

[@fabianfrankwerner]

same here...

[@blaizeW]

i would like to see content from you like Theo’s one

[@itachouille5127]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@ImpactfulDev]

Fuck the algorithm, you do you it's what I want to see 🙃❤ (it's super random anyway)

[@AZisk]

been there. many times. keep trying coding, josh.

[@anime_edits_0962]

can u use mongodb in project please

[@shawnwxweb]

make a setup tour, bet people will like that video a lot !

[@ThetPaingMyo-h1e]

time travellers here

[@dileepa-mn2to]

bro we missed you

[@SerilaBuck]

Shrek is love

[@TheStallion1319]

respect 😼

[@gekl8444]

Well done

[@smarthu4617]

which mic you are using

[@billyfigueroa1617]

That algorithm is a btch. It will turn you into a slave to it and just have you worried about pushing out a video every week or multiple videos and WEAR YOU DOWN I went through it. KZbin is not a big source of income for me so I just stopped for almost 2 years. I m getting into a flow again but I m not forcing my self to do weekly videos. I do them when I can and live with the results. Long term play. Maybe in 5 years I ll make some good money and do more videos but for now its a long term play for me

[@springerbarry7723]

Be an influencer not an influenced! My Friend!

[@tomcat1112k]

bro what happened to your hand?

[@solomizan]

We want a separate channel where you damn care about the algorithm.

[@hackerwhite7957]

❤

[@david.tanasescu]

Nice man!

[@gappalchemist]

It's been a long time bro

[@samislam2746]

I think you're a little bit tired overthinking after the last blasting video man. take a coffee break for 5 minutes. it's normal, this is how you feel after a big achievement.

[@Ndzzle]

We are going anywhere. Make videos you want to make

[@ehm-wg8pd]

Josh, i hate to break this down to you the algorithm works by optimize what the user actually wants you can even replace anything that contain "algorithm" with "user" "the youtube will recommend videos that -algorithm- user wants" if you think the -algorithm- user didn't want to recommend your video its time to analyze why, have you found out? what did you found out? - as for me, subscriber, i think your video are quite talking about "overhyped" feature in Front end field a lot, they are kinda microoptimization these days and not really practical for getting started to development, - you have lots of clickbaits, which we all hate for educational channel mind to share what else did you find? lets discuss
