“Have something in mind to build” This is solid gold advice for people getting into programming. Once you get that “aha” moment and you build something for yourself, it feels so good. Use this to develop your passion for programming, and slowly start building more and more complex projects.
Hi... I'm a business major wanting to self learn CS for better career! Should I learn Data Science &ML ? As I Don't think I can compete with people with CS Degrees 😢
Crazy how, if you remove all the technical details about programming, the video still does an excellent job explaining how to learn anything proficiently within a year. Congrats Thomas.
I find it so cool that I have been listening to college info geek for years and following you and now I got into coding too this year and here you're making content about that
I started around a year ago. I'm in the middle of working on a client ecommerce site. From scratch! Love to feel so related with your journey. We've been in sync since notion days.
Couple tips from someone that has been coding for over a decade. Your idea with the test functions is great, and has worked well. Another level of this is writing all your code with this idea in mind. Basically separating your in a way where each function or piece of logic (aka concern) works independently from other code, and thus can be tested independently. This is called separation of concerns 😊 Also another small tip, VSCode has an ability to create custom "snippets" that you can give a keyword for and it can load those in for extra efficiency.
Came over from Nebula to comment on both of these, glad to see another seasoned programmer. I was waiting for him to mention **unit testing** which is the next step up from creating test functions. For Thomas-- instead of manually running each individual function you're focused on, you can define a suite of tests that can run with a single command. It affords you the piece of mind that your expectations of your code won't change over time, and if it does it'll give you an error that you can trace through and adapt to. It also closes the loop by allowing your tests to run on file save if you run your test runner on "watch" mode. Jest is the go-to library in JavaScript for most developers. If this is a topic that resonates with anyone, check functional testing, integration testing, and test-driven development (TDD; when tests are designed before code is written). Regarding snippets, 100% this AND VSCode has extensions that provide snippets so you don't need to write all your snippets. Perhaps a new programming project is compiling Thomas' snippets into an extension pack :^)
before even watching I gotta say this: really respect the timeframe. 1 year is enough to get a pretty good grasp of programming and I'm saying this because 3 months is not enough, 3 weeks is a joke, but 1 year is alright. Good content as always, Thomas
Agreed. Three months in, I still felt very lost when looking at documentation. I was definitely still a beginner. At the one year mark, I felt pretty confident.
Would love it if this was supplemented with another video that dives deep into your systems, habits and mindset that you adopted to pull all this off. I'm thoroughly impressed by your dedication.
Hope this doesn’t come off as rude. Thomas actually has a ton of his systems and mindset videos scattered through his main channel. Like how he uses notion to track his tasks, productivity tips, and a ton of other stuff like setting up your calendar. I genuinely recommend checking it out. It’s taught me a lot during college and in work.
@@alphadonut It doesn't come off as rude. I am very aware of his video stockpile. I only made this request because it's possible he has come across new information or a new approach to learning for these types of projects.
Your excitement for learning code reminds me of when I started my self learning journey 5 years ago (albeit, yours is much more productive and focused!) I've been slacking lately with my personal coding, but this video has triggered something in my brain to start coding for myself again. Amazing video, and congrats on your learning!
Been in the industry for some months now after completing a CS degree - your video was really good and informative for an early-stage career programmer like me - particularly your recommendations. Gosh, I wasn't aware that so many tools to improve programming efficiency existed! Thank you for the deep dive.
I work with Software Engineering since 2021 and I study programming since 2015. Your video is one of the best made in RUclips that I've seen. Congrats on your learning journey, I'm excited about what you will build next!
This guy is truly a genius, he is a full-time youtuber and owner of several businesses and at the same time he learned programming and achieved a good level. I have been learning coding for some time now and it's not actually easy at all.
I taught myself to code 6 or so years ago and now work full time as a software engineer. I 100% recommend the "become obsessed with coding" technique. I started reading a bunch of blogs and subscribed to a bunch of coding subreddits just to become completely immersed in the craft, and I think it helped a lot.
@@ValadrienLeonhart yes but some people also do a degree to become a software engineer. I was just wondering as another self taught RUclipsr had a degree - which I assume was helpful
It is good to see you on youtube again. I have a BS in Computer Science and a Masters in Information Technology. I am glad you are talking about your journey and really want to see what you got to say. Welcome back.
Great video! I remember a few years ago we spoke about how you used to know coding and your experience with it. Awesome to see you back at it with this productivity video on your experience
Super helpful and inspiring video. I recently started learning JS and was feeling frustrated with my progress, and you've highlighted the mistakes I've been making in my journey. I'm going to get back in to it now - thank you!
This is awesome, thank you! The point you made about 'fast feedback loops' is so critical. To add to this, something that I have really been digging into is 'test driven development' which leverages this fastest feedback first idea: effectively you write unit tests first, force them to fail, then write the code to make them pass. Not only do you get fast feedback, but people are more likely to trust your code if it has tests :)
Super helpful and inspiring video. I recently started learning JS and was feeling frustrated with my progress, and you've highlighted the mistakes I've been making in my journey. I'm going to get back in to it now - thank you!
Great to see you post videos again 👏 As always, you provide clear and holistic advice. Couldn’t be more timely as I’d like to learn JavaScript for Notion and website 👌

Maybe not important but saying you picked JavaScript because notion's api is in JavaScript is kind of wrong but i understand what you mean. You can use any language with their api. What you are referring to is the sdk written in Javascript which is just a bunch of wrappers around the api such that you don't have to worry about url resources. Good job and i wish you all the best.
To answer your first question: It depends on the field. I think Web and App development are getting a bit oversaturated but other fields are still opening their doors I don't think you need to worry about job security if you focus on more of the problem solving aspect of programming rather than writing and development. Also, if you can learn to master generative AI along with coding. It'll help you
@@shreym03 Thank you, this really helps expand my horizon on the programming field. I love web dev so much but I agree that it's getting overdone and a lot more competitive than when I started out. I'll look into learning new things and really getting into the important stuff.
I think an important factor to whether there are enough programmers that tends to be ignored is how much work there is. There are quite literally millions of projects that never get done because developer time is too expensive and these projects take a lot of that time. One thing that helps is making developers more productive with new tools like better training, languages, IDEs and things like chatGPT. This decreases the amount of developer time required for projects and actually creates more work for developers as previously infeasible projects become feasible. You see this type of effect with almost all forms of automation. There's a reason why despite most IT people's efforts to automate their own jobs they never run out of work to do. You even go back hundreds of years and look at something as simple as making silverware. In the middle ages silverware had to be made via manual labor at a blacksmith for the wealthy or as heirlooms. Today it is done mostly by machine. Yet there are more people working in the silverware industry today than at any point in history. Why? Because they are so cheap that millions can buy it and now they need giant corporate structures and supply chains to do sales, logistics and buy minerals etc. Automation creates more work because it enables new customers to buy what they previously couldn't. There's obviously a limit to how far this can go, but software is nowhere close. When individual consumers can affordly pay developers to make custom software the way you might buy a tv or a fridge, then you might start see diminishing returns, but we are really not close to that.
I am currently reviewing my Spanish and German this year. After I am done with it, I plan to continue my long passion for C# that I didn't get to pursue from many years back(my goal is learning and speaking up to 8 languages). Videos like this inspire me to be creative. Coding is on my list of skills to develop. Every year I always find 1 or 2 skills that I focus to perfect, so after Spanish I am going to perfect my C# God willing.
Very nice presentation. You've packed A LOT of value in this video. I totally share your point re: the fact that you should learn programming with a personal passion project in mind. That's exactly what I did to ship my AI Jingle Maker. I'm older than you (I'm 49) and started coding when I was 48. And it's probably the best decision I've taken in a very long time. AI coding assistants have helped me a lot to transform my vision into a consumer product in a pretty short time frame (3 months to learn Python basics, then, after a few months of practice, less than a week to ship the MVP of the app).
This video is really wonderful. I am currently struggling with builiding my own tools in Unity. Your use of chat GPT is really useful and I will implement it in my own workflow :)
This is awesome, thank you! The point you made about 'fast feedback loops' is so critical.

Not only do you get fast feedback, but people are more likely to trust your code if it has tests :)
Another small way to add onto tutorial challenges is to extent it. Like the example, i.e for taking a for loop to a list and outputting everything but the third number, perhaps try a switch/if statement to check what number the sum of the numbers returned and print the number if it's above or below a threshold.
Choosing JavaScript offers the flexibility for beginners to delve into either front-end or back-end programming without the complexity of mastering a new programming language for each. So great choice!
Great video but could lead to false hope. This is a great way to learn the simplest concept of programming yes - I’d say equivalent to being able to write your name but not being able to call yourself a writer.
I literally just did a RUclips search for “how to learn to code” and saw this video by Thomas frank from 35 minutes ago and thought “huh that’s weird” before checking my subscription feed and seeing that it wasn’t just an illusion. What wonderful timing
28:53 I suggest you start looking into automated software tests, this will let you automate testing the individual components without having to constantly copy and paste things and manually check the result against your expectation.
I have some experience in scripting using python and I was a sql engineer so mostly sql and database stuff. I want to really dig into programming this year and I think I am going to start with CS50. That notion voice notes is a great idea! I think I am going to build that as my first project. Thanks for the idea!
The voice notes problem is literally why i want to learn more coding now. I have an AI app that captures and transcribes, but no integration with any KM or task management tool.
30:32 I have a word document called "useful unix commands" The most common use for it is to remind me that making a soft link is "ln -s FILE LINK" because I always forget the order of link and file
I started to learn code via CS50P (which teaches python). It may have not been the best decision, because for a beginner the problem sets are prettyyyy hard (any beginner who has done the CS50 course would know). And since I am so deep in it now, I can not go back, even if I wanted to. I want to get the certificates for my CV and I only have time to complete both the X and P course till the end of the year. I started the aciidentally on my phone in edX. Does anyone have any suggestons or tipps to make the problem sets easier an get it done quickly?
Thomas what’s your opinion about AI and the potential future? Are you optimistic? If this is truly going to impact the future as it seems to be, than the work we do now is ever so important in better influencing such trajectory in a good future spot. What do you think? Any ideas how one should treat the AI field and contribute to it? Safety research? AI medical research? Etc etc.
What a great video, I’m starting kind of late (43). But I guess I have an advantage of sorts because I’ve been a UI/UX designer for 8 years and can build sites with HTML/CSS. I guess all need to learn now is JUST JavaScript 😂
I'm laughing at all the long term programmers in the comments that are taking your thumbnail way too seriously. I might get into coding once I start my degree, probably gonna be Python or something else that can be combined well with the things I'm studying.
Its great to hear back from you Frank. It would be cool to see a video of you working on a project or something as I am learning right now to be a full-stack developer.
“Have something in mind to build” This is solid gold advice for people getting into programming. Once you get that “aha” moment and you build something for yourself, it feels so good. Use this to develop your passion for programming, and slowly start building more and more complex projects.

Any ideas how one should treat the AI field and contribute to it? Safety research? AI medical research? Etc etc.
Excellent video thank you for the breakdown
What a great video, I’m starting kind of late (43). But I guess I have an advantage of sorts because I’ve been a UI/UX designer for 8 years and can build sites with HTML/CSS. I guess all need to learn now is JUST JavaScript 😂
Doesn't Code Runner do the same thing as the Play/Run button in VS Code?
this guy is a better programmer than me and ive been coding for almost ten years
I'm laughing at all the long term programmers in the comments that are taking your thumbnail way too seriously. I might get into coding once I start my degree, probably gonna be Python or something else that can be combined well with the things I'm studying.
On a whole other note, Thomas is looking huge! 💪
Your advice is really useful
Awesome info!
Great job on this! Super useful
What is the equivalent of Pipedream for Python?
Couldn’t agree more! 👏👏
Its great to hear back from you Frank. It would be cool to see a video of you working on a project or something as I am learning right now to be a full-stack developer.
Just got interested in learning how to code, please I need your guide.
? Why can't I save this video to watch later ? Has Thomas turned this feature off ? If so, why ? 🤔
What about Python? Can you please suggest some free learning resources for Python as well, it will be very helpful.
