Hey man! Since I started watching you back in January, I started applying to paid internships as a first year student. After 2 projects, 40 applications, 10 technical tests, 10 online interviews, i finally got a paid internship as a frontend React developer. It would've been so much harder without your videos. Thanks a lot. I'm sure there's so many more people in my situation, and on behalf of them too, THANK YOU

@@Jacobyxt well in Romania it's unusual, but not impossible to get a first year internship. First off, did a lot of algorithmics(C/C++) in highschool, but I was never good at it(couldn't solve in contest time for shit). Then, between highschool and uni(like 3 momths) I started crunching web dev courses and trying to mimic what they did. Wasn't passionate enough, until I used web development as procrastination from uni courses. I made a mobile app using Ionic and Angular which integrates the Google image recognition api and lets you scan receipts into text form and creates statistics based on the products. And another one, using react mainly(other things i just followed tutorials cuz i knew i couldnt land a fullstack job so i went for frontend) and nodejs, jquery, etc, i made a site for a hotel, where i mainly focused in showing my css prowess(cool loading animations, responsive pages etc).

37 and started learning code about 6 months ago in the most untraditional path possible. Didn't start with education. Started taking completed code, combine it it with similar code. Create a dumpster fire that doesn't work, then try and fix it without know what any of it means. After doing that with 3 different languages (in order: Rust, Python, JS) many times. I started over with guide books. Now im finally starting a foundations of JS course. Now will learn some, build something, then break it and start this mad process over again. My coding mentor's ADHD hates my process. But I feel I've learned exponentially more in the last 6 months than following traditional learning paths .

I've been taking programming classes ever since my first taste in middle school with an incredibly basic robotics class. Then, going into high school, I've been learning as much as I can. I've taken every course I could relating to the subject at my high school, I've been making relatively simple projects on my laptop at home in my free time, I've made a couple websites with my friends, and I'm confident this is what I want to do with the rest of my life. The only issue is I have absolutely no idea how I'm going to get there. Going to university, getting a job, et cetera. It's all complicated, and I feel dead in the water.

Holy crap we have a really similar story of how we got into it. I was obsessed with computers when I was young, first got stuck in at 7/8 with an old Amstrad CPC464 then learned some basic HTML and JS at 12 as the idea that I could make the computer do stuff and then let others see it was fascinating to me. Then at about 16 or so I just kinda stopped for a few years, went to university did Mathematics, kept taking out coding books though as the bug got me again, halfway into my degree my maths tutor took me aside and said "Look your results are dissapointing against what I know you can do but I don't think it's because you're being lazy, I get the feeling there's something else you want to do?" and that shoved me into Computer Science a week later (Had some family stuff going on so had to move home which delayed it) Fast forward 10 years from there I'm now still working as a developer and love it but like yourself I wish I didn't stop for those 5/6 years and wonder where I could be had I not.

Not sure where this fits, but one on the things that I have learned in the many years that I have been programming is that you need to make your code robust. In this I mean that your code is originally written in a manner that precludes problems. Think about the code and how it operates - this is especially true in Multitasking systems. Never assume that a piece of code will never be changed - that is probably the first one that will be changed. I could go on but the one rule that I try to always follow is - Write the code and document the code so that someone else can come along and understand what you are doing. In my work that person was most likely myself years later when there is some issue. So having well documented code saves me considerable pain.

No. It moslty depends on your creativity. If you have the idea, then making it happening is just studying. That's the easy part, because anyone can do that. Anyone can google how to loop through an array or take a free online course, but no one in the entire world had the idea YOU have, and that's what matters the most.

I believe you're the only guy I felt was telling the truth. Most of these videos are complete mainstream media format or bluntly lying about how it works in the industry, lots of people pretend it's amazing and hide the boring parts. Project Management IS boring, if you are a coder you don't want to think about administrative, management stuff, you just want to figure out problems and code away. I'm not part of the industry but I do have tech based routines and knows plenty of ppl who works in the industry, I study at home and developed a project for a couple months. I had to do Project Management a bit, enough to not get confused about what I was making and it's great when you're doing something to yourself, but it sucks when you're making stuff to others. It's still a job and most people think it's playtime. "I play ping pong with my coworkers", "I take my dog to my work, everyone pets the dog", like a fairytale.

Hey! Feeling super inspired thank you so much! I know little to nothing about computers I feel like but for some reason this keeps coming to me and everything I've read about the type of person who likes this kind of thing is me! Do you feel like it's fun for you? I don't want to dread working and this feels like it would seem very mentally stimulating and kind of fun!

Great video but wasn't what I was expecting to watch. As an android developer I have always felt quite confined in that role and would love to venture out. Build a server backend for my own application etc, but don't know where to start to do so. Deployment, best languages etc etc, that's kind of what I thought this video was aiming for.

I would say start with nodejs with express as the framework. very simple to spin up a server and start learning REST API's. then from there, understand databases. You could go Relational using MYSQL, Postgres or my favorite which is NoSQL using MongoDB. much simpler to model databases as it uses object documentation. Then you'll want to integrate authentication. you could use jwt (token-auth) or session storage (passport etc...) both methods are integrated differently and follow the stateless / stateful method of auth on the server to client. That's it really. you could then try different server-side languages applying what you've learned. Perhaps python using the django framework.

28 here been in the the network industry for the last 5 years or so but started going back to school for software engineer and I won’t lie I’m a bit nervous about it and my ability to code. I am doing C# right no and I’m not sure if it’s just my teacher or me but I find myself having to look up things a lot for the projects he gives. Not that I cheat or anything I just look for solutions and it seems there are so many ways to accomplish one task. And not to mention I have no idea why I should learn on my free time. All I do know is I’m nervous and not sure if I should make the jump to this.

I might be a little late to the party, but "networking", holy damn. Get out there and meet as many people as you can, be friendly, and try to be interested in what they're doing! I'm a CS student (2nd year) and I have had a couple of paid software developer jobs, practically none of which required an interview, simply because I knew some people that worked there (or even people I knew that knew people that worked there). (This can also get you references from past employers and colleagues, which is always a plus!)

First great video, I mean it truly! Furthermore there is so much miss information regarding “GIT” God! Because there are so many companies that who offer their own way of “GIT” solution that there isn’t mention that they just make an skeleton to use the “Git Command Line Version Control”
