@@pedromouro4046 Way better! I'm not going to be able to write code like a programmer in a month, but I'll keep going. I believe I can make it if I don't give up. I think you'll make it too👍
To people starting out, here's my story: I started learning on september 1st 2021. Adding up all my breaks I've had 5 months of just breaks spread out in the year following that date. Around september 20th 2022 I got a job offer after a trial period, which I declined because of multiple reasons having to do with the company. After that I was forced to stop for 2 months, and after that I started an art project that I couldn't refuse without knowing how gigantic it would be, and I have Photoshop open with it as I'm typing this. The second I finish this project from hell I'm going to finish my 3rd portfolio piece along with the portfolio itself which is almost finished. After that remake my CVs according to the research I've done about them and then start applying. It is possible, it just takes a lot of work. And if I could get a remote job offer with no college and no high school diploma in a very traditional 2nd world country you can too.
I started learning to code in 2021 mid november when I dropped out of college , took some break and that too learning more about linux and game dev and learnt most of web dev from odin project's website and discord server, sadly enough people forced me to go to college again which currently has zero coding culture. Currently I am planning to apply for jobs after feb and if by chance I got one with a favourable pay, then I will drop out again...
@@killerdroid99 i guess you're making the best decision there, a college diploma isn't bad and helpful in many ways when you got the time and money for it but at the same time if you had the opportunity to actually get a good job offer then i guess it's not even comparable. That's my personal perspective as someone who's major is economics but wanting to be a software engineer
@@cyrileo Thank you!! Since I posted that comment I was offered 100 usd for a very simple website. It's done, but I'm waiting for the client to give me his business' information so I can fill it out on the site. The big art project is still not done, but it is closer to being done. There's 7 drawings left to put in it.
I'm 56 and I need a job. Things are getting messy here in Brazil. Coding can allow me to get a remote job, what is perfect for my actual situation. I'm studying Linux and terminal, prior to start coding. This is my base roadmap - CS50x - FreeCodeCamp - The Odin Project - 100 days of... (Udemy) with a lot of projects hope it's enough to get some job, and have some fun also.
i'm an employed self-taught software engineer. it changed my life. i still don't really recommend self taught to people(in USA). it was extremely difficult to get a job, and luck factored in a ton. when people tell you that something is hard, your first instinct is saying "yea i can handle hard". it's much harder than "hard". i'm a tough guy and i cried multiple times after 200~ rejected applications to jobs that i was ultimately qualified for. the first job i got was for a shady company that didn't know what they were doing, hiring anybody they could touch because they didn't know better. you'd think you get this moment of catharsis for your first job( you did it!), but no, it feels like i just got lucky. i know plenty of people who are more talented than i(and probably more talented than whoever is reading this too!) and are unable to get a job atm. it breaks my heart. "it's not about what you know, but who you know". if you know the hiring manager, your chances of getting the job multiply 10. if you know someone that can vouch fort you, your chances multiply by 10. it's sad, it's unfair, but that's how it goes in most companies. i could walk up to my manager today and recommend my brother and he'd probably get the job even though he is far from the perfect candidate.
but sir, some bootcamp costs a fortune, I know many ppl for whom these bootcamps become a problem, as even after getting into a bootcamp, there is no real guarantee job, because only a person who has skills gets jobs. I think self learning is the way because, bootcamp or not one would have to basically self learn to get a job.
Sure there are more talented people out there. So what. The only one that counts is you. And remember this (even after 200 rejections) it's never your loss, but always the one that didn't hire you.
why no one's sharing about wordpress?? I've been hard coding for 2 years then I found Wordpress and page builders. Now I'm doing freelance, can go anywhere, make more money and more Wordpress jobs. You only need CSS HTML. Even better if you know JS and PHP. But that's something you can learn later while on the job
Can you share your story about wordpress ? Am interested, as I hardly believe you can make much money with it - on upwork there is a huge competition and beginner has no chance. I been thinking about worpress after I did html css - now am learning JS.
I'm still teaching myself Web development even after 2 years. Though last year I had to shelve a bit of my code learning because of my regular work. This year I'm back at it hitting it hard and I plan to make serious improvement by the end of the year. Maybe next year at this time I'll have a Dev job.
Love your content. You always keep it real. And I'll never forget that video where you talked about overcoming video game addiction. I did the same, and have replaced that empty time with coding. Best decision I've ever made.
I'm a self employed web developer with 10+ years experience (i'm 31 years old) and i can totally approve what is said in the video. Great video Dorian, as always i love your honesty. You don't sugarcoat any of the topics or try to be overhyped as other youtubers do. Big thumbs up! :) Some additions: Here in Hamburg (Germany), many small companies (4-20 employees) are desperate to find web developers with average to good knowledge. It's definitely not oversaturated here. But you won't get rich doing the job either. I assume people are going the self employment route as i just did recently, because it's just much better payment and also workflows are a tough topic to argue about in already existing companies. Within a few month (3-4) of being self employed i already have 4 projects to work on. I had none before and didn't have a job right before that either. It's a great opportunity. All my contacts/projects/jobs came through free online advertisement. My "Equipment" is basically just 1 Laptop that i work on. The only greatest comptition i have are indian website creators. They do it so cheap, i simply can't keep up. This is where customer service, support and consulting comes in. Don't treat your customers as money sources, but as someone you actively work with. Try to create a great website so your customers product becomes more successful and then you will get recommended and will also have more requests from your customer to further improve their website. But even with the indian competitors, i recently just got a contact from india to develop a website for. Simply put, for me, working as a self employed web developer is like helping friends with their individual projects. I take note of the time and effort i had and write an invoice at the end of each month. I really enjoy it so far. For whoever wants to know more, here's some history: I started working with all the different media in general late in school. (around when i was 15 years old) That school also included some veeery basic html. I really enjoyed that during that time and i wanted to learn more. One step at a time i improved myself over the years, but still never touched databases or PHP. Then i started learning PHP through w3schools (great website btw.) and got my first real job as a web dev. Learned the professional ways to use PHP, JS and bits of HTML and CSS. From that on everything i learned was based on practical experience. Learning by doing. SEO, customer service, pricing, consulting, teaching CMS basics to customers and so on. 10 years later i'm here working on my own. :) I never went to university or any similar institution. The schools were the starting point, but i can also recommend the website w3schools if real schools are not an option. Edit: None of my relatives have anything to do with PCs, electronics or anything similar. All of the above came from my own will to learn. My parents are not rich in any way, but they were very supportive, which is sadly not standard in todays world.
Thank you for your comment! This really helps! I live in Germany for quite some time now and would like to switch in web development this year,but realistically probably 2024orlater. Thank you again for your comment! Have a great years ahead in your entrepreneurship! What a great story 👍🙂
To be honest i like your charetier, u are just straightforward, u dont waste our time, talking about smth over and over, thank u, whatever u upload on youtube all are worth watching ]
Thanks Dorian great video with good information. I'm 52 years old now and I'm glad I can still do this and hopefully get a job. I be starting in March 2023 with Zero to Mastery. Looking forward for this to see where this will take me.
I don’t think it’s jobs aren’t hiring. It’s most (not all but the vast majority especially on LinkedIn and indeed), want 3+ years experience for a junior position that pays little compared to the experience they want. I’ve seen plenty of job listening requires 3 years in various programming languages (JavaScript, python, C#) as a Junior dev. It’s crazy what’s listing nowadays. My biggest advice is: work a full time job you can work to sustain progress in life. During your spare time learn code and have fun making projects you enjoy making. Over time that portfolio will build up and you can enjoy it while also progressing in life. Find what languages/stack you want to study and get some books on them. Ignore RUclips trends and FOCUS. Focus on those books and the things you’ve outlined. Trends will change but you’ll notice there is a job for every roadmap. Read during lunch at work and code a project after work based off what you read. At least that what I did 👍
The closest, and I mean closest, to self taught programmers are the old school ones, I guess from 2010 backwards, when the internet was massively smaller as a whole(let alone IT materials and even more specific sub IT field materials). In my opinion, those are the master class master programmers. And eventhough that might sound discouraging, try to ignore that when it comes to your studying and entrance into this field, if you find the passion, no matter where or when, that's the most important, and as this guy said, it's never going to be useless to start learning whatever new skill there is or comes up. Keep yall heads up and just enjoy it.
I'm 26 and I was still asking myself if I'm too old to learn code. Even though I've learned c, c++ and java in college but after college had to do some non IT job due to covid and all for the past 3-4 years and still think to myself if it was too late for me. So thank you so much.
Started watching this channel about a year ago and it’s kinda funny. I ended up working as a data analyst for a computer warehouse and I started with HTML/CSS/JS totally different things lol
always love hearing what you have to stay,you are right there are many influencers who try to fluff this career up,especially the self taught route but i love how transparent you are with us and tell us the hard truth,im currently learnin html,css and javascript to become a web developer and i can see why many people dont make it but im determined and really enjoyin learning all this stuff.thank you for your words as always,it inspires me and motivates me to keep on going!
As someone with a CS degree in an unrelated full time job (not entirely unrelated but still not software development), thank you for the info. I'm thinking about doing the grind to finally get into software development but every day I just have doubts about actually landing a position. I feel there's a good chance that I will spend a lot of time refreshing on languages, projects, interview prep, etc only to go no where or not even be called into interviews. Is this a normal feeling or should I just trust the process?
@@thean1585 I work for one of the Big 4 accounting firms. Sounds fancy but my position is not that glamorous. I completely lucked out with getting the job to be honest
Awesome video, for me I got a bit of python before getting into javascript. It made everything easier for me not having to deal with brackets and a more complex syntax while learning the very basics. I'll start learning my first framework soon
I've been doing freeCodeCamp and everything was going great until I got to JavaScript but not my brain just hurts lol. Still working at it but man is it getting hard
if youre thinking about getting into coding in 2023, begin right now by starting the odin project. you dont even have to watch or read roadmaps or whatever, the odin project will take care of you on that front
I think the new frontier will be having a comlimentary skill with coding. Like Coding+Project Management, Coding+Sales, Coding+Operations ect.... That and people skills to the max. This will lean more towards people that already have a skill learning how to code. Code+ is the way I see it, even with AI
Hi Mr Dorian, I love your content. I'm just wondering how much code should a junior dev push on a daily basis? And what sort of tasks would they we working on?
2023 has begun! Let's grind this year! I'll be back to my comment after a lot of months.. I'll find myself grown a lot. Until then, I'll be doing my best every day..!🤞🏻
I've watched a few of your videos now and decided I would reach out to you or anyone else who may be knowledgeable. I have a BA in digital media and design with my concentration in web development. I unfortunately did not have the best experience in college as far as coming out with the confidence and tools I needed land a job as a developer. (graduated at the start of covid) I am currently looking to earn good money with my degree and looking to put the work in. I need to build a portfolio and learn more. I'm from CT and I plan on moving to Dallas, TX. Before I move I need to refresh myself with html, css, js. The plan is to land a good job before for the move or at least make good connections that will aid me in me search. Working remote is the goal even if I can't start remote now this is what I desire ultimately. Any advice? I want to use my degree. I need this! Thanks in advice.
Relational databases don't scale. That's the whole point of NoSQL. Conceptually, relational databases are strictly better. No structural relationships like in your Windows file system, everything is relational and it's highly flexible, and we wish we could use them for everything. But when you get a million users with a million save files, suddenly it comes crashing to the ground.
Such a nice video! I trully loved how straight to the point you moved. Also I'm to hear your opinion about the "AI is taking our jobs". Thanks for this video I really enjoyed it!!!
I'm here not because I like coding per se but it appears tech has the best work-life balance when it comes to high-income jobs. Would folks agree with this? I have a life science background but the pay is crap and my declining interest can't justify the crappy lifestyle resulting from the crappy pay.
can you help me enlighten im wondering what will i do first freecodecamp or just do projects on theodinproject first?im a beginner im just confuse on how to code without forgetting the codes
Hi Dorian, I am a complete beginner, and I want to teach my self how to code, would you still recommend freeCodeCamp and theodinproject for beginners like me, PS thanks man, your content is helping me a lot.
Somehow I feel too stupid to learn coding. I took one SQL course and I was just…lost. Entirely lost without the instructor walking me through each query haha. Maybe it was the teacher I wasn’t compatible with, but I feel like we were being fed pre set equations (without any logic attached to them) rather than being taught a coding language that we could adapt, apply and be flexible with. 😅 am I considering the wrong profession based on that perspective? Lol
as always your words to the point, I like creators like you who tell the truth even if some don't like it, one of my best references, great johnny sins
Damn, Im almost 30y.o and going to get degree. There are lots of difficulties on my way- full time job, currently unemployed, life struggles and etc, also I fear that after I get degree I wont be able to pay off my student debt, as software job becomes obsolete or smth like this
I have a questions for everyone that'd like to help me out.. I just started a college career in my country Costa Rica. Is a private university and I'm learning software engineering. I also started a online business with AI and I'm creating websites with chatGPT and mid journey. I want to learn code (especially python and JavaScript for web development) My question is, in your opinion should I pause my career st college to pursuit my business online? I want to scale my business but I'm currently working 9-5 and I barely have time after I stared my colleague education. I guess I want to know from someone else perspective, if it's really worthy to spend 4-5 years at college to get a job or should I just learn on my own? Sorry if it's hard to understand me my English is not great but I do greatly appreciate everyone's advice ❤️👍
I loved this coment: "Maybe you are just a degenerate who lives at home in your parents basement and all you do is play video games all day and you decide it" Cause' that's who I am in this moment lol, those was hard words for me but I'm gonna try to change that this year and I'll finally gonna learn how to code and get a job at my 28's. I like a lot your videos because they are so real, and I hope that you can read this comment xD I really appreciate your content because you say the true in your videos and not a fantasy stuffs like other people, well maybe I should get my ass out of the bed and start to do great stuffs right now, I lost 10 years of my life doing shitty but, I guess that I can still do something with my life. Have a nice year man!
Had to unsub to a lot of coding channel because of this (concept in the video). Watched them for tutorials and concepts and 90% made a 2023 video about why at the end you gotta buy their course because if you want to succeed, you need them as a mentor. Now I only sub to people who don’t push courses or “mentorship” (getting paid to tell you same info that’s online), but actually provide value on RUclips.

@@thean1585 I work for one of the Big 4 accounting firms. Sounds fancy but my position is not that glamorous. I completely lucked out with getting the job to be honest
Self taught for about a year now. Really hoping I can get a job by this summer
Awesome video, for me I got a bit of python before getting into javascript. It made everything easier for me not having to deal with brackets and a more complex syntax while learning the very basics. I'll start learning my first framework soon
Awesome video and gave me a ton of motivation! Thanks I needed to hear this and get out of a rut with coding and making this my career.
Just wanna say this is one of the greatest thumbnails I’ve ever seen.
I've been doing freeCodeCamp and everything was going great until I got to JavaScript but not my brain just hurts lol. Still working at it but man is it getting hard
It's tough, especially at first. But once things start to click, and you can actually do things. A whole world opens up before you. Keep at it
Leon Noel from 100 Devs is hosting a free bootcamp that covers all this and more starting January 11th it was pretty awesome last year
Thank you very much🤘
0:36 Love your honesty 😄
Thanks Dorian your advice is really helpful much appreciated
if youre thinking about getting into coding in 2023, begin right now by starting the odin project. you dont even have to watch or read roadmaps or whatever, the odin project will take care of you on that front
wow.... Seems like a long list to learn...... Your Channel is very inspirational.... THANK YOU !
I think the new frontier will be having a comlimentary skill with coding. Like Coding+Project Management, Coding+Sales, Coding+Operations ect.... That and people skills to the max. This will lean more towards people that already have a skill learning how to code.
Code+ is the way I see it, even with AI
this is why we signed up....no bullshit just Dorian spitting straight facts
Straight forward and to the point. You earned yourself a sub sir.
Dorian is a legit guy he will have 500k subscribers at the end of 2023.
9:04 literally me lol, gonna change that this year, 2023 let's go!!!
This is a very much helpful video as I've always had a dream to become a web developer and I now have access to the internet so I can do it
Great video, great advice, You've really helped me.Muchas Gracias
Amazing video Dorian. Thank you so much for all the solid, honest advice
2 minutes in and I'm already overwhelmed 😅 but I'm looking for something different than what I've been doing so maybe this is for me.
Awesome, I found it so inspirational. Thanks Dorian for such a great video
Very helpful video
Hi Mr Dorian, I love your content. I'm just wondering how much code should a junior dev push on a daily basis? And what sort of tasks would they we working on?
great video Dorian. im learning how to code. "stop trying to find the magic answer in a video"😂🤣
Thanks for the motivation, yove really helpt my journey and motivated me. More blessings and keep doing your thing. I’ve now started on JavaScript..😅
Dorian is my best on RUclips, I am a big fan
Thanks man for keeping it simple
2023 has begun! Let's grind this year! I'll be back to my comment after a lot of months.. I'll find myself grown a lot. Until then, I'll be doing my best every day..!🤞🏻
Your video recording and presenting skills improved ❤️
I need a career change and I’m not sure which avenue to take with tech
Thanks!
shit, ur so cool man , why I don't saw u before , from now u actually my favourite youtuber ever
Thank you for this video
I've watched a few of your videos now and decided I would reach out to you or anyone else who may be knowledgeable. I have a BA in digital media and design with my concentration in web development. I unfortunately did not have the best experience in college as far as coming out with the confidence and tools I needed land a job as a developer. (graduated at the start of covid) I am currently looking to earn good money with my degree and looking to put the work in. I need to build a portfolio and learn more. I'm from CT and I plan on moving to Dallas, TX. Before I move I need to refresh myself with html, css, js. The plan is to land a good job before for the move or at least make good connections that will aid me in me search. Working remote is the goal even if I can't start remote now this is what I desire ultimately. Any advice? I want to use my degree. I need this! Thanks in advice.
Excellent advice
I almost thrown my coffee when you said we are going to be broke and homeless looool
Relational databases don't scale. That's the whole point of NoSQL. Conceptually, relational databases are strictly better. No structural relationships like in your Windows file system, everything is relational and it's highly flexible, and we wish we could use them for everything. But when you get a million users with a million save files, suddenly it comes crashing to the ground.
Should I do it
Such a nice video! I trully loved how straight to the point you moved. Also I'm to hear your opinion about the "AI is taking our jobs". Thanks for this video I really enjoyed it!!!
great video man!
Thanks man
I'm here not because I like coding per se but it appears tech has the best work-life balance when it comes to high-income jobs. Would folks agree with this? I have a life science background but the pay is crap and my declining interest can't justify the crappy lifestyle resulting from the crappy pay.
Hi Dorian. Is it possible to make some videos that are aimed towards more experienced/senior developers? Thanks!
deberias de hacer videos en Espa;ol, te aseguro que somos muchos, buen video
A good video as usual!
Respect man
100% agreed
6:30 oh okay wow how long did you learn into coding tech skills before to get into your first job?
What about Python? can i start learning coding with Python ?
Yes, because its a beginner friendly language and its pretty easy specially if you're trying to learn coding from scratch:)
Best video i've seen in 2023
can you help me enlighten im wondering what will i do first freecodecamp or just do projects on theodinproject first?im a beginner im just confuse on how to code without forgetting the codes
Hi Dorian, I am a complete beginner, and I want to teach my self how to code, would you still recommend freeCodeCamp and theodinproject for beginners like me, PS thanks man, your content is helping me a lot.
Do you think that it still makes sense to learn to code in this time of AI?
Somehow I feel too stupid to learn coding. I took one SQL course and I was just…lost. Entirely lost without the instructor walking me through each query haha. Maybe it was the teacher I wasn’t compatible with, but I feel like we were being fed pre set equations (without any logic attached to them) rather than being taught a coding language that we could adapt, apply and be flexible with. 😅 am I considering the wrong profession based on that perspective? Lol
as always your words to the point, I like creators like you who tell the truth even if some don't like it, one of my best references, great johnny sins
do you still recommend the odin project?
Damn, Im almost 30y.o and going to get degree. There are lots of difficulties on my way- full time job, currently unemployed, life struggles and etc, also I fear that after I get degree I wont be able to pay off my student debt, as software job becomes obsolete or smth like this
software wont become obsolete lol. dont believe everything you hear from nonprogrammers
Can’t wait for the 2024 version. 👍
Awesome vídeo
Lovely video
I have a questions for everyone that'd like to help me out.. I just started a college career in my country Costa Rica. Is a private university and I'm learning software engineering. I also started a online business with AI and I'm creating websites with chatGPT and mid journey. I want to learn code (especially python and JavaScript for web development)
My question is, in your opinion should I pause my career st college to pursuit my business online? I want to scale my business but I'm currently working 9-5 and I barely have time after I stared my colleague education.
I guess I want to know from someone else perspective, if it's really worthy to spend 4-5 years at college to get a job or should I just learn on my own?
Sorry if it's hard to understand me my English is not great but I do greatly appreciate everyone's advice ❤️👍
sir, I learn web development from mdn course is it worth it?
I loved this coment: "Maybe you are just a degenerate who lives at home in your parents basement and all you do is play video games all day and you decide it"
Cause' that's who I am in this moment lol, those was hard words for me but I'm gonna try to change that this year and I'll finally gonna learn how to code and get a job at my 28's.
I like a lot your videos because they are so real, and I hope that you can read this comment xD
I really appreciate your content because you say the true in your videos and not a fantasy stuffs like other people, well maybe I should get my ass out of the bed and start to do great stuffs right now, I lost 10 years of my life doing shitty but, I guess that I can still do something with my life.
Have a nice year man!
Your my man🥰❤️
Been seeing those titles since 2021
Had to unsub to a lot of coding channel because of this (concept in the video). Watched them for tutorials and concepts and 90% made a 2023 video about why at the end you gotta buy their course because if you want to succeed, you need them as a mentor.
Now I only sub to people who don’t push courses or “mentorship” (getting paid to tell you same info that’s online), but actually provide value on RUclips.
anyone doing ossu curriculum or who completed it?
The Seo in this haha 😆
Why do web devs, think that there is not enough jobs for dem? - Isn't responsive webapps based on Angular not a big market ?
Man Johnny Sins Does It All thx
