    A lot of us even myself don't realize how fortunate we are for tons and tons of resources that are out there in the world and take those resources for granted. You can learn almost anything on the internet but we act selfish and lazy. I am thankful to learn code and I know if my younger self looked at how much I learned to code, he would be proud because I used to think coding was like magic... Other then that, I appreciate you sharing your story, Chris.

    Love this video bro, relate to it a lot. My situation wasn't the same as yours but long story short, after college I was unemployed, low on money, couch surfing, and with a broken down car for some time. After I got on my feet I was working 50-60 hours/week at a restaurant, but I had decided I wanted to become a software engineer so I put in extra work to move towards that goal. Not there yet, but I finished a coding bootcamp last week and now I'm hoping to land a job sooner than later. Grinding daily to learn more and improve. This video was inspiring big time though man, keep it up 💪🏾

But all thanks to God things went well for me with the journey and I just finished my second year as a software engineer on October 8th. My circumstances left me under a 2 year contract and I haven’t been a fan of my particular company, but it’s given me experience and helped me grow. Now that my contract is up, I can apply elsewhere to find a better fit, but to do that I’ll need to put together a lil project portfolio in my free time. So update: I’ve worked hard and been blessed, and the grind continues lol

    Thanks for this. I needed it. I'm picking up my vlog tomorrow. I been saying I would but I've been so busy with Lambda School that I didn't take action. But, really auditing myself the reason I haven't started is because of a similar reason you didn't film in your room. I msged a year ago when I started this journey. Then I was living in LA driving for Uber and struggling badly. I lived with 5 other roommates which made LW affordable but stressful. So I have to come home to CT and moved back in with my mother who is on section 8 housing to be able to be in a bootcamp like Lambda School. But, I'm living in a closet no bigger than the room you were in. It's about the size of a jail cell. No window etc. I definitely am just going to pick up my camera and just get started and tell my story how it is. I want to see what happens and it will be nice to look back and remember where I was when this started. Anyways, thanks brother. My roommate motivated me to learn code but your story also impacted my decision. 💪🏾
    I know your busy. But I enjoy your videos man. Would be nice to get these videos a bit more frequently I'd support. I'm buying some clothes when I start working to for sure. I like the hoodies.

    I am going to watch this video every single time a feel down ... or even better every single day. Just as you, I was very poor, I sometimes had nothing to eat and i lived in a room the size of a closet. I doubted myself sooooo much in the past and I still do. I feel sometimes like I am not good enough to become a developer. I do feel like no one would have a reason to want to hire me. I don't know how things are in your country but in Europe you won't be able to find small companies just like that....at least not as many (I think). Dude I know HTML and I do know some CSS and am still learning...but damn to get hired based on that ?!? amazing luck...I wish I could have it as well ... but it doesn't seem so. I am trying my best to get myself together, to stop everything that distracts me and to not give up on it. It is inspiring to see you living a life that you can be happy about. I am just a bit down right now to be honest ... and I can see myself in every situation you just described. I am happy for you man ... I really am even if we never ever met ... I am happy for you and would be happy for anyone that actually did his/hers best. I will do all that I can to get there .... I do all I can to stay consistent ... and I can only hope I will be good enough some day...good enough that someone could even give me a chance ... best of luck ahead Chris ... and to all the people that watch your videos.

So … thanks for this video you made, is so exited to know how many people have been past for what I’m passing. I hope you see my comment and recommend me the right books to read.

    Working in a warehouse teaching myself 2 months now. I can't stand working for corporations, but I know I can work remote with this and build my own freelance business. I have 0 interest in working for companies because you never know when they will pull your livelihood from you. Have 2 kids and a wife and can barely pay rent. This is the route I'm taking so I can actually afford rent.
