    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!

    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.

    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.

    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

      @@davidcisneros200 a lot to unpack here lol butttt here we go.
      1. Html/css - I’d recommend maybe one to two weeks
      2. Then learn plain vanilla JavaScript.
      3. Both Learning AND then creating your own freelance business will be very challenging.
      4. If you get your degree, and you’re working on side languages you’ll be In pretty good job ready shape you graduation
      5. In university try to land an internship. Usually the best way to get your foot in the door.
      6. from what I hear it mainly the big tech giants have your interview and code an algorithm on the spot.

    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.

    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.
