Developers: who construct buildings. Maybe software developers shift to the other development area to make extra money 💲 😁

Hi Brad, I started to watch your channel about 4 years ago. At that time, I was a complete beginner and because of you, I actually learned how to code! I love your tutorials, they are well structured, full of valuable information. You really taught me a lot and I keep learning things from you. So, please continue what are you doing, because it is really awesome :)! Thank you.

It feels good to watch you talk, Brad. Thanks for the video.

How much experience did you have?

Hi Brad, thanks for the video. I have been wondering how YOU learn new technologies so fast. I took your Mern stack front to back Udemy course in 2018. I will be happy if you make a video on "How to learn a new framework fast" . From your video I realized that you directed us to the documentations on websites. I think there is more to that. I will be happy if you teach us these techniques. Thanks.

[@serkancolak872]

Hi Brad, thanks for this useful video, We appreciate it! Is it possible in future, make a specific road guide for the developers who aim to start its own startup / small business / freelancing etc. Because each developer has its own reason for his success. One video for entrepreneurs or business owners, one for startups, one for freelancers, one for people who aims to be hired by companies etc.

Hi Brad! was it PHP that you wrote WP and Joomla plugins in ? Is there a platform powered by JS to build and sell digital products for? Thanks! :)

[@AndrewErwin73]

I like that you mentioned the risk of freelancing... 75% of a freelancer's job is looking for work! :) but I agree with the fulfillment part as well.

[@newmonengineering]

Definitely make a small software on the side and sell it. I have made quite a bit with this route. I still have a job but it was a great decision to make something on the side. One thing you can do is if you have a job and you write your own utility to solve a problem at your job, turn that into a product. If you find a need and fill it with your software it has a good opportunity for growth.

[@Stettafire]

Be careful though, the code you sell can't be a straight rip from your company since the code belongs to the company not to you
