THINK LIKE A PROGRAMMER
Mental Health
Don't Give Up. - Imagine what if you Didn't Give Up
I agree with never stopping. I'm in a CS program and unfortunately about to get a D in discrete structures due to some personal life issues, but I'm not going to allow that to stop me from obtaining my goal of becoming a SWE. I'll just refuse to give up and retake the course and do better next time.
Hey, setbacks happen, but your attitude is on point! You got this, and I'm rooting for your success!
No worries bro courses can be fk*** retarded, trust me. I once failed the same course 3 times because of the way it was structured and who taught it(they tried to teach but didnt) and the funny thing is that i had 6months of real world work xp in that area which i excelled in...
@@hexadecimalhexadecimal5241Thanks man! Yeah, I'll for sure be retaking it but it's all good. I'll do better next time!
It takes dedication my friend. and you have it x100
thanks for the advice, hello from UK!
I really appreciate this vídeo. It's simple, it goes straight to the point and it's perfectly seasoned with humor.
I used to post a lot of vídeos, but lately writing one single script it's been taking me months. Part of it was waiting for better conditions, part of it was that I was moved to another team with a crapy boss, and my motivation plumed.
But I need to start making things simpler again as I used to when the channel started....
This video got me thinking. Thank you.
Thank you for that. My motto is just hit record. It is easier said than done some days but I have to keep it simple or I'll talk myself out of it.
@@thetechdad87 Man, I answered your comment twice. The first time RUclips skipped to the next video and deleted my message, the second time I think I forgot to press reply hahaha
I tried to make the video making process here as frictionless as possible. But there is still that ritual of preparing the scenario and the prompter.
Most of the times when I'm on a streak, if I fail once, my brain just gives up on the thing 🤦♂
I wanted to create a group on Discord or something with smaller creators to help each other with feedback (on videos, thumbnails, and stuff) and keep each other in check to post videos.
Great video great tips i definitely appreciate them and will keep them in mind
Thanks for all these tips
Thank you
What a well made with with some good advice! I am really surprised to see this channel is still small!
Hopefully we keep growing glad you liked it.
Love this brother! Keep being awesome! I'm going the college route and learning computer programming. I want to teach it to kids and possibly build something in my community for kids that want to learn this, give them an opportunity to do so, and possibly build a career out of it. I'm subscribing right now. I want to learn more about your journey!
Thank you so much and that's awesome that you have a WHY that is so important!! Thank you for the support
Great intro vid to your channel. Amazing job turning everything around, fingers crossed for you to get your first tech job soon
Thank you x2!!!!
Thanks man :')
very inspiring man thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching
Good one man!
Thank you
Another tech dad here, you gained a sub
Thank you for the support
Self-taught here. Made 2 years learning on my own. Personal experience for the biggest mistakes when learning to code. Switching between different programming languages versus sticking to 1 and lastly. Taking advice from so many different people who are developers versus keeping it simple, there are so many different opinions in how to go about this. The hardest thing is not knowing what you don't know. What no one talks about is getting advice from so many different developers can actually leave you feeling overwhelmed and can also take you off the path you had originally picked.
Still program every day and I am getting closer to my goals. The industry keeps on changing and can be very discouraging. Especially when you hear people like the president of NVIDIA talking about "don't learn to code, learn biology". After doing some thinking and checking out the stock market value of NVIDIA sounds like to me, he is under extreme pressure to sell those A.I. computer chips or he is in trouble with the company shareholders. Anway's great video, thanks you!
This!!!!

Learn how to use git, don't be like me copying and pasting your code from your code editor to your github repo and then have issues arise when they come up. Figure out what you need to know, use it and then learn more as you need to going forward. Git is super important especially when you get your first job. It is essential.
The lessons we learn the hard way are usually the ones we remember lol.
when I finished the video I thought you have thousands of subscribers, but nope, but I think you deserve more, thanks for the advise.
I appreciate that. Thank you
I thought same 😔
It's been a year since I graduated and I wasn't able to find a job ...I've started learning web dev for the last 2 months...but today when I was scrolling through Instagram saw a story of one of my classmates buying a flat....and I don't know what happened but suddenly I lost all the energy to code today... started asking myself that why am I loser still and basically giving myself shut for all the decisions I made in the past ... I have to get past this feeling.....very nice video btw , thanks 👍
First we shouldn't compare ourselves to others it's the stealer of joy. Second there are so many variables that go into getting a job in this market. You could do everything right and still not get a job. Third if you feel like you can do better then find ways to do better and do it! But remember don't be so hard on yourself and don't give up! Re-evaluate pivot if needed and keep going.
I have it really hard. I'm lucky if I can spend an hour learning the language, I've been learning about 7 months now and I just started getting the OOP. I don't want to give up, not even considering, but sometimes I can't get to computer for days and when I do then I take myself back again and relearn and refresh all the recent stuff and it is so hard not to advance at the normal pace. It's disheartening and frustrating.
I know the feeling just keep at it even if you code everyday it still takes time. Are you working on a personal project or just tutorials?
@@thetechdad87 I bought udemy 100 days of code and trying to do some personal projects for practice. I have to snatch half an hour here and there, got family 4 kids to look after.
A half an hour here and there is better than nothing keep pushing my friend
@@thetechdad87 Thank you, I forgot to mention I'm 50 and never been friends with computers until 7-8 months back, I had wrench, sledge hammer, all kinds of tools, but was scared I was too dumb for programming. I watched your video today and it kind of charged my battery, I've got an update) Thank you again. Keep posting, you've got another follower.
Church analogy made that point click for me about being perfect ❤
Glad you liked it. It made the most sense in my head.
Make projects that you would use daily. This was important for me in getting motivated to code everyday. Figure out a problem you have then make an app for it. I was learning python but I wanted to make mobile apps and that resulted in me coding every now and then. As soon as I started learning Dart and flutter, I'm more consistent, making new features, making tweaks to tutorials to have my personal touch on them, and I actually use them daily.
This is the best way it give the why to learning something which is so important! Thank you
My opinion, I find C++ to be easier and a smarter language. It's my first language and I'm still fairly new. I'm using Unreal Engine 5 Blueprints, I know people say writing code is easier but I might stick with it.
Sup tech dad! Greeting's from Brazil, your video made me question something, where do i find a community of programmers?
Brazil!!! That's so awesome. I'm not sure if you guys have the meetup app? That's how I found local communities. Since your in different country I might suggest asking on Reddit. Join some programming groups and make a post lots of people willing to help
what a great advice! thx tech dad!!
I hate using the terminal instead of the user interface the computer provides. Is there any real actual benefit to using the terminal over just clicking a few extra times somewhere else? I can push pull merge just fine without a terminal.
It's faster once you get more comfortable, remote access for working with servers, automation, being efficient with resources, and probably a lot more I don't know about.
but which language would be good for an absolute beginner to learn?
Python and JavaScript are usually considered the "easiest" I would pick JavaScript personally but up to you. Just start learning
Remember: "Dad" is right most of the time because he has more experience, knowledge, better advices and wants the best for you 🙂🙂🙂🙂
I mean I do want what's best for you the other stuff is questionable lol
@@thetechdad87 after all we are all only humans
I think "giving up" for a while was healthy. It sounds to me like you were coming close to burning out, and you needed the break. Which brings me to one addition to your advice. Play with the code: Make projects for yourself where you can have fun and get creative, even if it's just tweaking the code in a tutorial to make the UI more your style. You'll learn a lot and be less inclined to burn out.
I agree with you on this. Thanks for the suggestion
@@thetechdad87 I forgot to say - great job on the video!
Thank you
hi sir, your videos and thumbnail can be edited better and can be improved, do you need editor?
good editing can increase retention and views. let me know, so i can share portfolio
your videos are actually helpful to me, just subscribed your channel.
I do appreciate it but I'm just small fry with no budget for getting help with editing.
When is 'understand enough' to try another language? I started with python, and tried JS and hated it, if I'd start with JS not knowing python at all I'd just be mad that I wasted time with JS
Well this journey never actually ends so that is a difficult question to answer. But I think a good gauge would be did you learn enough to accomplish whatever your goal is (get a job, build some software) Because there is always more to learn. So find your WHY your learning that language and go from there. Also try teaching someone else and see how well you can make the complex parts easier to understand that is always a good gauge of our knowledge of things.
Hello Sir,
Are you looking for a professional RUclips thumbnail designer and SEO expert to grow your channel?
Let me know please
Thanks
I respect the hustle. But no budget for professional help
Ok,
Give me your contact info please
He says his videos need to be perfect yet all this images are like 300 pixels
