    I recently landed my first software developer role and would like to give my 2 cents. DO NOT get stuck in tutorial hell. Instead of the tutorials, focus on getting really good at one thing (frontend, backend, database design, etc). Build projects even if you don’t know how to start, break the project down into small problems and build each piece one at a time. The more projects you build, the better you get and more comfortable with adding complex features. If you do it this way, you can break into the industry faster, in my opinion. It took me 2 years until I “felt ready” to apply for jobs. In reality, I could’ve started applying after 6 months. I found a job for 80k within a month of searching. Moral of the story, specialize in one thing and build projects around that, then start applying. Good luck to everyone.

      @@namimm3366 I am a full stack developer but I spent most of my time focusing on frontend technologies. In my opinion, the barrier to entry is lower for a frontend dev and there are a ton of jobs available. My job is remote for the time being but will be in office when COVID becomes less of a problem.

    This coronavirus lockdown made me push harder to find a viable career alternate. Since past 2 years I was failing to even continue to a basic HTML tutorial because I was in the comfort zone of a normal 9 to 5 finance job. Now with the lockdown, its been like a week and I have already applied a few of the basic HTML commands and made my first web page.

    Fastest way to become a software developer:
    1. Understand what software development is
    2. Understand the programming fundamentals (control flow statements, variables, data structures, databases, algorithms, functions, conditions, etc.)
    3. Learn to properly use a programming language. Start with an easy one: PHP or javaScript (if you are more web oriented) and practice point 2.
    4. Learn how to use a programming Framework. Start with an easy one based on the language you now know and practice point 3.
    5. Read all you can about how to produce quality code at every step of the process of becoming a software developer.
    6. Practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, and practice.

    Good video. My advice to people that are just starting or don’t have technical backgrounds is to build things and not just read and memorize stuff. That will not work in this field. You can’t just read a book on programming you must program often and create things. Build an application through the entire stack, everyone has an idea for an application just build it. Pick one scripting language, pick a framework, pick a database and get started.

    People watching this should also ask themselves if they WANT to become a software developer. You have to be resilient, you have to enjoy constantly solving puzzles that you've never had to solve before, you have to have a strong degree of self belief, it's also a major benefit to have good interpersonal skills as you'll be dealing with a lot of co-workers and clients in meetings.
    I love being a software developer, and would highly recommend it as a career. It's really rewarding and often fun, but make no mistake it's HARD. Be prepared to constantly feel stupid, for most of your career. I've been at it for 5 years and feel stupid a lot of the time, I've spoken to experienced devs of 15+ years and they say the same thing.

    It's an awesome video, and the points are completely relevant. But living in Africa, Nigeria specifically, the tech climate here is a little different. Employers don't want and would likely not give a job to someone who knows only a subset of the general work most developers they have already do. They want someone who can build a feature from the database right on to the client side button that needs to be clicked. So I had to learn Java, SQL, HTML and CSS before (GWT let me avoid going in too deep) before I started my first coding job. Later on I added Python and JavaScript to my toolbelt. It's really great advice, but sometimes it doesn't fit perfectly into the tech climate in some geographical locations.
