Great for you Jeremiah!! As a software engineer myself, I would definitely agree that collaboration with peers is key for growing in software development career
You are doing something that I wish I would have done when I just got out of the military myself. Heck, I should of done this a long time ago period. Hence, I am beginning to teach myself stuff now. Watching inspirational videos like these do keep me motivated.
One of your videos popped up, think it was the expectation vs reality engineer or something like that. Definitely enjoy the videos, keep it up. I have a year left in school and I will graduate; never thought Id be smart enough to learn code at all. Been diving deep into Python but I keep a binder with what I have learned for reference. Google and stackoverflow are the best answers I have found. Keep up the great content!
I suffered in silence once & then missed a deadline & realized its a bad idea lmao. If I've tried, stackoverflowed & google it to death & still can't get it, I just ask lol.
Hmmm... I’ve been doing this shit professionally for 15 years. What would I tell my day one self? I guess... learn Haskell or ML first? Before anything else? The most useful thing I’ve learned in the past 10 years is that modeling the problem as a proof using types is the most powerful and reliable way to have an assurance that code works correctly. Problem was 25 years ago when I got started as a kid, there weren’t a lot of languages that really let you model with types well. If I were a kid now, I’d say learn and truly internalize Rust and everything that goes into its development. Even though I don’t work in a language with good type assurances, doing that modeling work basically makes the system easy to build and reason about.
Got recommended by Lyons, I’m about to start a JavaScript development certification course tommorw, I’ve gone through python and about to stack 5 more on top, while in college for computer science while in the navy. My brain is fried but nicotine and caffeine keep me grinding.
Thanks for the content your input helps me since I'm thinking of programming instead of network administrator thanksfor everything praying for your health success and thanks for coming across such valuable content brother shalawam
Inspiring, you got yourself a new subscriber and a like!!! I’m going to college and I’m a junior for computer science and honeslty I feel like i haven’t learned jack 😪
Since you used to be military, beware the danger of the chair. It will consume your skinny and trade it for The Fatness. Also back pain. Although my back pain is made much worse by the fact that I got hit by a car once, twice. Remember to get up and walk around regularly, stretch daily, keep up an exercise routine, etc.
Hi Jeremiah you participated in a Townhall for Reskillamerica this past Monday I have been unable to access the workspace On Slack I've tried every day can you help
I feel like there are so many successful stories about changing career path to be a software engineer .. and that honestly makes me feel so insecure because idk what comes next after all the courses. I feel like there will never be a company who wants to hire me😔 idk how good I need to be, to be hired (even an internship would be nice). I just want to get started already but I still suck lol. Your videos haven been helpful tho. I’m just ranting because I’m lost😂
Also, may I know when is the right time to learn git? Like, after learning the languages I need or during? I’m currently learning JS but reviewing my HTML and CSS because I feel like not good enough yet.
@@JeremiahPeoples Hey I was wondering, I'm in the "wanting to learn all languages" stage. Currently take C++ courses at college but taking a coursera class on HTML/CSS/JS. (Mostly for self-development purposes) My main goal with self-learning web dev is to build a small, self-employed development income while I get through University and hopefully become a "competitive" candidate for a job. How competent do you think I should be with one language? Do I need to go as far as learning inheritence, recursions, or Binary trees, before I start looking for a job? Or is knowing Classes (and what comes before it) enough? More general question, when should I feel ready? lol

I know this video is old, but I'm going to ask anyway. Lol. I've been on FreeCodeCamp and started working on Javascript. I see that it's getting a bit intense, as I am tryint to understand what heck it's talking about. Do you think as time passes, those of us that have never coded before will eventually pick it up? Was this your experience? It's making me nervous to learn JS, then having to learn something else, as they are all different. It's super foreign to me lol. TIA❤
It’s weird looking and hard to pickup for everyone. The most important skill you can learn is how to figure out the answer. So you can get good at googling, or in the beginning it’s helpful to have someone explain things. You’re more than welcome to join my free discord, I’d be happy to answer questions and debug with ya. I read allllll my comments!
Hi, I’m a mechanical engineer 1st year and not sure if I continue with it or change to Software Engineering. I was taught C language and really liked it, so that’s why I thought of moving to Software; however I feel I have no information or don’t know if I have the abilities to be a good Software Engineer, pls, it takes me a lot of time to solve a task because I’m new to this field. So the only reason I chose Mechanical is because I have some background in Physics from high school although I hate physics problem solving, but I feel I can understand it faster because of the demonstrations of Phy concepts in real world. Right now, I’m really confused should I do Software or do Mechanical? Please give me your advice. Thank you.
Great for you Jeremiah!! As a software engineer myself, I would definitely agree that collaboration with peers is key for growing in software development career
Facts. My last position was pair programming and it was hands down the best way to grow
Jeremiah, did you break youtube with this upload?? Worth it!
Yes, yes I did. Google if you want to know how I did it you're going to have to hire me first lol!
You are doing something that I wish I would have done when I just got out of the military myself. Heck, I should of done this a long time ago period. Hence, I am beginning to teach myself stuff now. Watching inspirational videos like these do keep me motivated.
So down-to-earth, earnest, informative -- keep up the amazing work!
Much appreciated!

I love your channel you’re funny and engaging which it makes it fun too watch
More to come :)
Glad I saw this video. If things continue like they are, I’m making the same career shift as you man. Thanks for posting.
I hope so! Thanks for watching
I suffered in silence once & then missed a deadline & realized its a bad idea lmao. If I've tried, stackoverflowed & google it to death & still can't get it, I just ask lol.
Gives me an excuse to talk to real people lol
Great information and video Jeremiah ! I really needed to hear this! Thank you
I appreciate you checking the channel out

Ha it’s a slippery slope, I hit the gym fairly regularly hopefully I can keep that up
When you started off, did you read book? If so, which do you recommend with reference to the "how to become a frontend developer" video and why?
I personally don't like reading. I prefer video content. The online udemy course I took to learn my baseline knowledge is linked in my first video
Okay, thanks
