    Siraj, I have been watching your video for a few weeks now and have just been incredibly inspired to not only keep learning coding but aim to work in Machine Learning due to your fantastic enthusiasm for the subject. You have truly opened my eyes. With this video you show how concious you are of all of us needing to pay our bills to do what we love - and the concrete examples you gave are just awesome. Thanks for just being you...and keep that up ok?

    • @jokinglimitreached1503
      @jokinglimitreached1503 6 лет назад

      +Aye! LetMeTellYouWhatHappen maybe learning one more programming language will be enough. Python is bad at teaching basics, because it's high level (high level means easy)

    • @JohnEthan777
      @JohnEthan777 6 лет назад

      Just to add, as I feel it may prove helpful-high level isn't just easy, often the easy way is the right way to go in programming,(thats why JS and python are so popular) but what it definitely means is that you don't learn some computer science concepts that low level languages such as C and C++ have, such as bitwise operations and memory management.
      Agreed, those are hard, but in the situations where those languages are used-performant systems, these skills and concepts also help give some insight into what a certain high level language like python is doing.

    Hey Siraj great tips, another idea for programmers to make money is to build integrations for marketplaces. Example like shopify, magento, or even a plugin for woocommerce. Trick is to hunt around for the connection that is missing. We get plenty of requests to build different connectors into systems and like you mentioned on your video we go to upwork to get them built. Thanks mate keep up the videos.

    I'm a 3rd year CS student and i just can't trust myself to be doing something worthy of money. i love programming and A.I. and i am currently learning tensorflow but i just feel like all i can do is school assignments. when it comes to the real world i have a great fear of not being enough at all for a real project. i dunno why, maybe because i've never done it before. i've never earned money by my own work.
    i always hear "the real world is not like school... the real world is not like school... " and it builds up my fear and lowers my confidence as i get closer to my graduation. i dunno how it's gonna be like.
    maybe i sound like a crybaby and i dunno maybe it's partly true. i just wanted to express what goes through my head since the topic is relevant.
    Thank you Siraj for the video :) i'll search these ways.

    • @EvgeniyaJZ
      @EvgeniyaJZ 5 лет назад

      How do you feel 1 year after? I feel the same way actually. I did all my school assignments, got A in all of my programming classes, then went to several hackatons and was sooooo lost because the scope of those projects was wayyy beyond what we've done at school. Had multiple job interviews but no offers yet, which is killing my confidence in my programming skills...

      @YEASTY_COMMIE 7 лет назад +4

      I think knowing all the math (differential and integral,matrix, tensors...) is a big plus especially if you want to go further and play make more advanced models but you can still make a lot of things without, there are also many deep learning libraries that will do the math for you. I think you could start with simple things and learn the math when you need it

I'm still new to programming and I believe it will take years to sort of master it. Once I am capable to write an application then I'll think about it. The language I want to conquer is C. There are various reasons why I chose that language, and I know there are other languages that are easier to learn and work with. Any books you know that will help me learn programming challenges like Google Code Jam or Hackathon?
