The truth of the matter is that many self-taught developers will never land the job. And it's not because they can't or that they lack the ability. It's for another reason that comes later in the process.
In this video, I'll discuss the big hurdle that self-taught developers have a hard time jumping when trying to transition into tech and then I'll give 5 practical tips to help you get through it.
Tune in!

I worked as a chef in 5-star properties in India, including Hyatt, Oberoi, Leela, etc, with close to 2 years of experience. Quarantine took my job, and I started learning to code. 1.5 years later, I landed a job, and now it'll be close to 2 years for me to be a developer. The things Kirat mentioned are really accurate.
No matter how much burnout you go through to learn code while coming from a non-technical background, if you keep pushing yourself and grow that hunger in you to solve problems, you will keep growing.
Also shout out of 100xDevs batch 1, that is something that helped me a lot as I have no mentors to interact with; it was really a great push for my career.
What's *100XDevs* ??
What is 100x dev
Harikrat started a full stack developer program in May as first batch.. so it is named as 100x dev

Every indian computer science engineer(for the most part, tier 2 and 3) are self taught software engineers 😂😂😂.I have seen soo many people from clgs like NIT doing their btech in mechanical and ending up in a software company, I would say having a community of people around you who work hard and motivate you is the most important part!

You've summarised the real definition of Self Taught Developer.
One more point I would like to add which I ignored and now facing is grab the opportunities to work, gain real world experience.
Thanks Harkirat ! These suggestions will help a lot!
Such a coincidence ! I am really good in mathematics and the theoretical part of AI architecture ( somewhere around 8-9/10 ). Have worked for around 3 years in software development industry but still somewhere I was feeling the urge to level up my programming skills. Its petty descent right now (just workable knowledge) but I am not at all contented with the current level. And coincidently came across this video of HarKirat ! Timing !!!!!!!!! His words are always on point ! Consider me as a fan of his approach and thought process ! 🙌
These videos remind me of one of the IIT Gradute Teachers in my JEE prep jouney.
Just explaining certain something that actually make things work. Keep up this good work man!!
cheers ;)✌
This video is the answer of the question I asked in your previous podcast video. Self taught programmer, thank you so much sir ❤❤
What he is telling is so true, try to get your hands dirty in code. The best example is many of the coding tutorials or books will almost never teach about trouble shooting and scalability. The libraries which are shown in those will be outdated and configuration will be outdated, so we need to troubleshoot for compatibility. So practice practice and practice whatever you are trying to do, my approach is always going with full stack approach until Devops pipeline so that it will give an overall understanding on how the roadmap works along with importance of version controlling.
Thanks for the advice @harkirat.
great insight.. loved it!
Thankyou very much brother. This is what i needed. Your video is like reassurance to me.
Thanks thanks thanks for the motivation I was needed this....a self thought know there values just refreshed(flashed) all
Harkirat sir videos are out of the box. It's unique and very much practical on the latest tech.
Calculus major. Self-taught programmer... C++ is my first language... I also have two degrees. Eng. Design & Drafting and Network Systems Admin... Obviously, I'm NOT going to go back to college for a 3rd degree - Self-teaching is my ONLY other option now. We are human, sometimes, we make the wrong or incorrect choice in life (but that's life.) Sometimes, we choose a path in life that may be thought of as correct at the time, but sometimes those choices do not feed the 'belly of desire' for continued challenges and growth. I get bored too easily doing something that is not challenging enough for me. It also does not matter how old you are - you can always learn something new. I am proof of that.
At this moment, coding is one thing that feeds that desire for me. I took a short break from it (at the time I was delving into C#), now I am back at grinding C++... I truly do love & enjoy doing this, because it feeds my mind well. I love grinding code. Thank you, for your input & advice - I am going to keep this journey going !!
Wow I had FOMO and didn't even realize what it was until you pointed it out..Thanks Harikirat!
You r very straightforward. You r a Gem
That was... really fast. Thank God there's subtitles. Great video though. As an aspiring game dev this really helpful. :)
working under a person who goes by the book, I see perks of following the book from day 0. be agile but keeping in mind the fundamentals has saved us hours of rework and redesign.
this is actual one of the best topic i never just think about about and the best manner and practical
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:28 📚 *Have a structured learning plan; choose a technology and follow a roadmap, consulting industry professionals for guidance.*
01:11 🚫 *Avoid "Tutorial Hell"; don't rely solely on tutorials. Instead, engage with real-world problems, read documentation, and solve issues independently.*
02:36 🌐 *Don't chase the magic tutorial; focus on projects and self-driven learning. Build a strong foundation in coding beyond relying on specific videos or channels.*
03:49 🤝 *Overcome naysayers and self-doubt; stay focused on your coding journey, join supportive communities, and ignore detractors.*
04:58 💻 *Emphasize practical coding over theoretical knowledge; prioritize hands-on projects and experiments to gain valuable real-world experience.*
06:10 🔄 *Tech runs in cycles; be aware of industry trends, adapt to market cycles, and differentiate yourself by learning what the majority may not be focusing on.*
Thank you sir. Please make a video where you tell what skills could we all learn apart from those that the colleges does actually teach us
I never loved anyone as much as I love harkirat's wisdom.
The fact is when you escape Tutorial Hell, you start hating video tutorials. This is how I have become. I have been working on a project since last 3 months, writing APIs, sockets, unit tests etc. just by documentations, chat gpt and Google. Seriously saying it takes time. There was a time when I was thinking for 3 hours and coded for 30 minutes. I learnt B+Trees, Indexing, implemented Linked Lists in the project, created testing environments, refractored a lot of code for writing tests, took help from open sourced repositories and much more. Feeling happy that I didn't follow that standard DSA and web dev path!!

great pieces of advice
I am planning to do the cs50 class and currently in the week 4 It feels amazing to be doing this the concern of mine is that will the company in the future will be in need of developers like software developers so what is best course or the generally the good technique to learn it ?
I watch tutorials at the same time i take notes of it. Then i make and customized everything which i learn from that tutorial example: if the tutorial is html , css then i make the exact website with different style or use grid instead of flex , and its work for me , and if you saw documentation of that technology then its difficult to use it if you watch tutorials then you brain memorize it how the things actually work.
You are right that we have to learn practically. I'm currently learning DSA, could you suggest me some tips so that I can make a better understanding towards it.
00:03 Most self-taught developers fail due to lack of a structured plan.
00:58 Have a structured learning plan and follow the right set of roadmaps.
01:55 Learn by solving real-world problems
02:46 Focus on documentation, Googling, and asking chat for learning.
03:36 Learn coding by doing it.
04:33 Build real-world scenarios to gain practical knowledge.
05:33 Indexing is essential for implementing large databases and optimizing query time.
06:25 Self-taught software developers have an advantage in the tech industry.

Thank you!
please make a detail video on 1st point : structured learning path. It would be a great help.
I find making comments in those tutorial projects tend to help me to understand how a particular line or lines of code work. Take notes what you understand and google the things you dont or rewatch those learn whatever programming language for beginners videos buried in your playlist to reinforce your foundations.
can you make a video about how to get involved in different communities, it would be very helpful for us
For someone who is an absolute beginner, to get an idea or understanding like for example concepts and technologies behind web develoment, would you recommend tutorials or udemy courses before writing codes on your own?
It did help me a lot...
love you harkirat

Very good advice..
4:36 that guy is reading Harry Potter lol
so I have been working on the odin project (it is an open sourced bootcamp for web development they also focus on a project based approach) since the last october on and off but when I listen to your videos I seem to think that I have learned the wrong things and I am wasting my time. the odin project at the start really focuses on the basics of html, css and javascript I have learned a lot about these three things and also some things that you say are important like the asynchronous behavior of js. I really enjoy doing the odin project but everytime I watch your video I feel like I am falling behind or learning very slowly, do you think am I on the right path?
Great video, love from US❤️💯
when i am trying to read docs, as a beginner to that specific tech, it feels overwhelming and failed to understand the concept behind it (like in case of react why useState is used for variable this type) can you please help me on how to read docs efficiently?
Ask gpt to explain that part that you don't understand eventually you will figure it out.
You have to make a habit. When you start exercising you might have a lot of difficulty in the beginning but slowly with regular practice you get used to it. Reading docs is similar. You have to read regularly and you will get used to the overwhelming part.
I am a beginner, and this helps at the start of my journey. Now, I will avoid trying to watch videos; instead, I will try to read documentation if I need it.
Harkirat can you share your a roadmap for HFT in c++ ?
Right now I am learning parallel computing in c++.
@Harkirat When your next cohort will come and jo bhi aayega wo live session ke sath ya recorded videos rahega
What about FOMO on a particular technology. For example, I'm an Android dev, my friend works for an HFT firm. I feel like I'm missing out on working on state of the art, highly optimised system. How to overcome that?
First, I am from Somalia, I graduated from university 4 years ago, and now in 2023, I started coding, especially web development, so persistence and patience are needed for coding.
Bro u need grammar classes more than patience , I would say
I would say you should do your mental checkup@@krishnaagarwal5696
Hello harkirat sir, I am first year engineering student know good amount html and css and learning Javascript.Should I buy your course right now or you will be launching some new course after this one.
damn harkirat sir you are upgrading daily with your quality of scripting editing keep going you will touch 1m subs soon❤

The Only Thing I always feel I have learnt from Kirat video is: "Hath pair maro, get in the dirt if you really want to build something out of yourself"
Hi, just 2 question are you going to start a new cohort?
And if not. Is the current one worth joining?
Hello harkirat bhaiyya!
When's the next full stack cohort gonna start??
1) Don't fall in Tutorial hell and make a plan
2) Learn actually by documentation and solve errors and solve either them for chatgpt
3) Solve real world problems
4) how to code

when you are planning to start your new MERN stack batch ?
wdym by 100x and 10x product cycle? i seem cant comprehend what it means
Sir please help me
There is a new course offered by iit ptana without jee i.e Bsc computer science and data analytics . Sir reviews the syllabus and tell us the syllabus primarily focuses on which fields and jobs
Hi Harkirat,
Is it okay to use chat gpt while learning programming as it spits out the requirements immediately.
One of my very senior developer advised against using it. He says i won't be able to right code in future myself and its not the great way of learning..as things are too easy with chatgpt.
What should i do?
Because of this, some problems take me a week to solve knowing chatgpt will solve this in a second.
Make your learning fast.Just don't memorize it see how it's working and try to apply by yourself and make some changes !
When is the second batch of cohort going to start?
full stack bootcamp kirat? would be helpful to many
Idk why this was recommended to me. I am a student of commerce + maths but cool editing and video dude
Harkirat do you agree with my point that, If I know the know the basics of MERN stack and want to build a project. If I follow a tutorial, line to line and then build it on my own without watching the video. Won't it let me learn the building faster and subsequently I'll build projects on my own.
Is this a good approach ???
would you like to suggest some coding communities that you mentioned here ?
When is your next cohort starting?
Why there is too much base in between in video ?? Did any one notice.
Tq harkirat

I don't even need to increase the playback speed, it's already 1.5x 😂. Good content though 👍
Bhaiya, can you please make a video on how can we get best out of the online courses. And after completing it what should we do next.(Courses like- DSA, MERN Stack).

Just start you will soon figure u can't be perfect to start but will attain perfection if you start 😊
Hi Harkirat, I'm Shivansh, how can I get in touch with you? It's regarding a roadmap I was working on, would really appreciate some guidance.
As a other branch engineer how to learn coding
Really, handsome piece of advice
harkrit kindly made a video on how to find the best repositories to master mern stack
day 04 of asking for :(pls give hint if its coming or not)
simple MERN app. Ik there are a lot already, but yours teaching way is way too good and its easier to grasp.
( have seen the 100xDevs repos, in just week 13 you have moved to NextJs completing MERN even in typescript.)
Hi, unfortunately it's a little unfair for me to teach MERN as I've charged folks for the same in my cohort. You can still expect slightly advanced concepts on the channel but for basic knowledge you'll either have to refer to other channels or get in the cohort. I do apologise for this but I think it'd be unfair for me to do that on YT. Hope you understand
@@harkirat1 thank you so much harkirat for the clarity. Ofcourse i understand that. I am really sorry to asking you continuee

Bhaiya can you tell if someone has 0 knowledge about programming stuff and if they start from 1st November 2023 what path they should follow to get good job till March end 2024
By good job I mean 15-20 lac package...
Can anyone suggest me to join some coding community?I am beginner just started last month.Thanks in advance.
priceless advices
Tell me some community which you have mentioned in point 4 .
I love you!
and this is something i have never said to any male before😂😂😂 , But anyway, the amount of valuable advice you gave me in less then 10 minutes is something very worth it. THank you so much i will always remember your advice for sure.
You mentioned that you don't rely heavily on tutorials, but I'm currently engaged in studying machine learning and following Andrew Ng's course on Coursera. How can one effectively learn without depending on tutorials, and do you have a structured approach or learning framework for artificial intelligence and machine learning?
he is just using his iit fame nothing else there are better hackers and developers working on some decent projects
Look, I don't know about the course and all that you're doing, but I will tell you this, most and 90% of tutorials are made for beginners like those tutorials spoonfeed you, you totally might want them, when you don't know what you're doing and what to do, but you should go through them as quickly as possible, and start doing things on your once, for ex: I am fairly new to docker, I started with youtube, didn't get a lot of things, started reading DOCS didn't get a lot of meaning, then I started a tutorial from udemy, then I got a hell lot of meaning from all that, and I'm going through that tutorial really fast because the documentation is always there, and yes I'm doing all the practise as well, Choose a course that is introductory and concise, not something that will eat you whole semester. And then build your own projects from scratch like renting VPS, buying domains, etc. Using Nginx, sub-domains, load-balancing and Linux, and learn to type fast and accurately most importantly.
Thank You very much @@yourlinuxguy
Just make a few projects and then you might have a lot of motivation to do DSA and things will stick to your mind since that will the the only things stopping a beginner to get a job for the first time after that nobody cares about DSA my advice.@@Crimsonzephy
Hi I'm completely new to coding and don't have a cs degree I have a doubt that will some company hire a person without a cs degree ( I have done bsc biomed.) Is udemy platform good for learning coding from scratch?
Hi is your cohort open now to join
Please bring you batch 2 for open source ❤️
when in next Cohort coming
Self taught here. Best advice I could give is to build something. Anything. Pick a project, and start on it. Figure it out as you go. Learning on StackOverflow is 1000% better than learning on RUclips.

Every organization asks for minimum like 3 years of work experience on any technology/language.
How can someone try who's having less work experience than this ?
perfection.
I am one month into my first job, fresh out of college. In college, I used to focus on AI/ML and then DSA to get a job. Currently, my role is as a full-stack developer in IT supply chain. I love the work my team is doing and I see a scope to learn a lot in this job. But I can't help but feel dumb or useless because I cannot do any work currently without anyone's help. Please advise me on what I can do to become proficient at what I am doing.
I have 12+ years of software engineering experience and for past 3yrs I have been recruiting candidates & training them as well. I know exactly what you are going through...😅
My suggestion would be-
-Don't give up
-Don't get demotivated
-Don't procastinate
-Don't be afraid to make mistakes.
Every weekend when your friends go out partying (usually thats the culture 😂) try to spend some time upskilling yourself. Google everything you don't know, use stack overflow..
I wish I had stack overflow, youtube back in my college days. We learnt from our mistakes but the entire process was fun!!
Don't let anyone else determine your worth; you decide what you deserve. Treat yourself with the same love and care you give to others; you are equally important. Make the most of what you have and keep your standards high. All the best!!
Learn that stack
Which ur team is using
Forget all garbage which they taught in. college
well at least you have a job
what is your technology
@@peak_911u don't have
Actually the term 'self-taught' developer or programmer refers to the group of peps who donno 've any computer science degree but still manage to taught themselves how to write code and stuffs.
Next cohort when??
I didn't failed to become a self tough developer but I failed to got job on it 😢
I genuinely don't think getting IIT cse degree can be considered into self taught, yes for most of the times you have yo teach yourself but atleast you get enough exposure about computer architecture, design patterns etc because duh you passed you degree it's not like you cleared exams without studies that exposure is something I would kill for, besides that great video and tips for beginners
1. Lack of structured plan
2.Tutorial hell
3.juat worry about projects
4.Do not do self doubt
5.Do practical instead of reading theory.
5(a).focus on writing code
Hi, I am From tier 5 college why tier 5 becuause it is started in 2016 Always feel depressed what would happen to my placements or things like that what to learn what not to learn how to learn and one thing more why would anyone hires me there are so much techies out there who are very good than me anyone can learn to code all free has been on yt chatgpt etc
Rip
Don't worry about these things...the range of college matters only during the company's on-campus placements .... After you leave college, Only skill matters you just focus on improving your skills... And one day it will pay you.....Yeah today there are numerous online tutorial are available but those who constantly practicing are in less numbers.... So be a person who can maintain consistency in learning...... All the best for your future
