Always appreciate the transparency and straight-shooting, it's refreshing

[@king-manu2758]

The idea that following tutorials is worthless is a fallacy. It's true that you can watch a tutorial and then have no idea how to replicate what you just did on your own. However you do assimilate the way things are done in a general sense. It loses its mystery, it's not some obscure thing anymore but something that you've seen how it's done but you can't do it yourself yet. Now it's time to struggle and try to do it on your own and you'll fail a lot but eventually through struggling you'll eventually create your own little app (which will have a lot of copied code from the tutorials you followed before).

great point

[@hamedenglish5969]

Exactly you are right sir!

[@cuervo7029]

It's good to have you back Aaron. You're an inspiration, what you have achieved in a few years is amazing. Keep it up

[@AaronJack]

Thank you so much🙏

[@cuervo7029]

You're most welcome@@AaronJack

[@andrewguarino]

Great Video!

[@crispyngold9181]

When comes to coding advice. I love hearing this guy's point of view. so honest and real especially when it comes to udemy courses. He's spot on. STICK TO YOUR PATH!

[@selfimprovement9772]

Excellent content Aaron! I never felt like I have been slapped after watching a video before. Good points.

[@0mar._.]

I like your advice, thus I'm gonna ignore it because i should ignore 99% of advices.

[@wyattrichardson6609]

Great honest video, thanks for being real with us youtube addicts aaron.

[@js-swift]

Real Advice 💪 thx for this

[@js-swift]

thanks for this

[@AaronJack]

🙌🏼💪🏼

[@ZeoZakkeruga44]

I always try to be skeptical with most things until I know enough about it and been struggling a bit lately in life but I can really say that my life has completely changed since I started the Freemote program, I've learned a ton and I feel like a completely different person today. So thank you Aaron your awesome 🤙😁

[@AaronJack]

Thank you!🙌🏼

[@azwaduddin4841]

This just sound so fake man😂

[@bozidarbralic1937]

Been a follower for some time now, and you are one of the good ones, if I was at the start of my journey would seriously consider taking your freemote bootcamp... But I'm not. Keep up the good work my G.

[@AaronJack]

💪

[@keifer7813]

This is what I like about you. You keep it real

[@reinen9006]

Pretty solid

[@PyroJeffsta]

To be honest, I hated you because of your ads, but I recently gave you a chance a genuinely like your content. You seem like a dude that actually does want to push good learning habits onto people 5:30 made me subscribe

[@mu3076]

I'm starting with this one

[@brendoncrave504]

Freemote grad here. I just want to say that Aaron's (and Jan's) course is the real deal. Two things I was completely failing at before Freemote was coding and making money. I had done a 12-week bootcamp, and left more confused than when I had entered. KZbin and Udemy did help a lot, but I still couldn't convince anyone to hire me. After Freemote, I'm not only confident in my skills as a coder, but I'm also making money as a freelancer while my skills continue to improve. And I get to do it from anywhere (currently in Georgia, the country, and looking at Spain next).

[@AaronJack]

Appreciate that Brendon 🙌

[@praffsphr1136]

Alright, solid video. Okay fine, I'll check out your thing.

[@arkanelyass7697]

I was lost and worried about my futur i seen all your videos and the light at the end of the tunnel started to appear thanks man ❤

[@dariuszlegizynski6591]

Two years ago I decided to switch careers from HW to SW. It was a hard way, but my comment is not about it. At the end of my way I knew React pretty well (as for a beginner) and I landed my first job a year ago as a Vuejs developer... Living in Europe and listening to American people got me a bit wrong. My biggest mistake was not to check the market before I started to study SW. In my region (Vienna that is) most companies in 2021 where hiring vue and angular developers. So I needed to switch once again...

[@bez1196]

This is great advice. How were you able to get the job with no Vue experience?

[@dariuszlegizynski6591]

​@@bez1196 ​ In my case, my current employer was aware of my situation (that I only knew React). He was only concerned, if I am willing to learn Vue. With the knowledge of vanilla JavaScript, one can learn Vue in a very short time (like a week). Of course, I'm not talking about mastering it. Also, React and Vue is alike. I had a month time between switching jobs. I used it to practice Vue.

[@sebastiangugulski9277]

Solid

[@ShawnPark]

Aaron: what happened to your videos that you made a few months ago when you acquired that software? Those were great videos!

[@hugon4]

I like Aaron videos, his ads are annoying but he seems to be honest and for sure if you only watch videos without practice it's not going to work

[@bakermayfield5388]

there are a lot of outdated books on programming, can you please make a video of the latest books that you would recommend for javascript, python etc? Thanks

[@meikmiemiec2069]

That was actually really helpful. I love the slimily you gave with Porn and KZbin :'D Been stuck with YT and thrid person trance since the beginning of the year... Lost so much of my drive and ability just to start doing things for more then 5min. Craaazzy -.- Choose a path. Stick with it. Check. Thanks a lot.

[@AaronJack]

[@fastlearner9993]

facts on facts !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@webdevelopment2082]

Execute your skills, don't get executed 💥🔥

[@pup4301]

Figure out what you want, find the terminology of what you want, understand as many piece of the terminology of the thing you want in simple terms. Do the thing that you want based on what you know by figuring out how other people did that specific thing of thing that you want.

[@malcomgreen4747]

0:56 i trust this guy 100% he is 100% legit

[@SobersRajakumar]

I’ll take this advice

[@Marian-yv4qu]

True

[@ocoro174]

extremely based

[@harunjasarevic8253]

I would recommend learning from a finished product

[@tabmax22]

6:46- how do we know what to choose if we're beginners? do you have any criteria or decision framework that would help for it?

[@majesticdragonfly]

Hi Aaron, I have a question regarding the programming field I want to get into. I have been keen on becoming a full stack developer, however people say that it’s not worth it. Is this true?

[@vendettamalize7209]

hey aaron im a guy form Philippines I really seek advice from your videos , and I am self taught but still weak , i am concerned about watching more content from you and I wonder how or what your condition is right now given there is a war in ukraine

[@1truecrime]

I'm currently using treehouse to learn my code, like HTML,CSS and now JavaScript. What do you think about the treehouse platform for learning these languages? Thanks

[@tysonm2525]

Amen about the debt comment

[@SulaimanBotha]

Pretty solid advice to be honest, especially the first one but all of the KZbinrs that I'm subscribed to are quite transparent and honest about selling things to their audience so I can't say much about that. Currently going the low-code route for freelancing right now. It's more difficult than I thought to be honest but I refuse to give up.

[@bez1196]

What platform are you currently learning? Shopify? What do you find difficult about it?

[@SulaimanBotha]

@@bez1196 I use webflow and carrd. No, I'm not struggling with using the platforms, I'm struggling to find clients.

[@relative_vie]

basically DYOR and find what works best for you.

[@movieclipzorscene5206]

The question is Can i code the same app with multiple computers, Like I mean creating the same app using my laptop or when my laptop is not available i will use my other laptops or desktop to continue coding the app?

[@federicobalzi]

Including this one?

[@charanko3760]

So should i ignore all the things you've said?

[@sharonjones7669]

What if they want start for the beginning but they are little Challenge

[@FOXMAN09]

Whoever sees this: What courses are most recommended for teaching JUST enough information and then forcing you to apply what you learned so you don't waste 50 hours? (aside from Freemote)

[@waltersumofan]

Scrimba is interesting, as what you learn is editable right on the screen, so you can not just watch and code along but play in the sandbox as it were. They have some free courses, try a small one see if you like that style. A lot of this is finding what style works for you. Could be books, blogs, passive videos, active videos. Also maybe you don't need the same style with each topic. Git docs were enough to get started, SASS I needed a video. Funny world. Have a checklist!

[@imadelkihal4954]

i cant't wait to gain some money so i can join your bootcamp

[@AaronJack]

See you inside!

[@joshuawright9222]

I'm still stuck on Week 1 of Freemote...2 weeks later lol. But that's my choice, I'm absorbing so much *basic* knowledge, it's unreal. I love it. I'm ready to get to week two, but the tried and true way of writing down notes (as you've mentioned) is truly helping me retain the information. Thanks, Aaron! 🤘🏾😁🤘🏾

[@AaronJack]

Keep going Joshua, you got it🙌🏼

[@adarshgupta8215]

// Sorry for the 70th comment. Yep, that sure is true! But still, following you is much better than some other borish channels.

[@howuseehim]

I will take only one of your advices and it's already too much

[@cameronlaudat9139]

Does anyone else think he looks like Stephen Amell?

[@gabehcuodsuoitneterp203]

You’re not that guy either, pal!

[@User84367]

Real as hell

[@Eldalion99999]

agree with everything, except React XD thats biggest cancer that ever hit this industry. Popular does not equal good.

[@zohaib0335]

STFU react is bast best framework out there

[@avc2705]

at least some one knows a little bit better than the people in youtube. and thanks Aaron!

[@TomNook.]

I only listen to TechLead

[@ArtyomGalstyan]

Should we also avoid this vid advice then?

[@quandaledingle7026]

should i shouldnt listen to ur advice 2 right? jk

[@blighthornsteelmace820]

damn I just watched another por... I mean YT video about programming ;)

[@jaiminiviles2635]

Fuckin banger video. DOPAMINE ☺️

[@CallousCoder]

My content is 99% unique and absolutely a gold mine of knowledge… so do as I do! Lesson 1 middle fingers up to JavaScript 2 middle fingers up to Python 3 learn the low level stuff we do so much off And before you know it you’ll be a tech guru. 😂 and I’m selling nothing, I don’t even ask for likes and subscribes! I just document my own projects or I truly love to to teach lowlevel stuff.

[@lalosalamanca1469]

Not to mention worst advice of all algorithms and data structures are not important Of course when you are just build unomptimized simple projects
