Started at 9 when I discovered the web dev tools and learned html just by looking at it and changing stuff. Got attached to it and continued to learn the 3 core web languages (js, css, html). Started to go to extra-curricular activities at my school, chose robotics (microcontroller programming) and chess. Learned C# for unity GameDev with Brackeys. Now, 16, taking harvard's CS50X and CS50W at the same time. I really feel like CS/SE is my element! Reeaaally happy that I discovered it :D!!
iam a freshman at software engineering and That line you said am i smart enough? i have that line all the time over my head , every time i struggle to solve problems at programing ,thought to quit it but it looks realy early to give up this fast ,dont know what to do
Learned to code at college for three years and got my degree as a Programmer. Now I am figuring out what to do further and where my joy lies. I think it is having to start my own web design business.
I started at 8 years old in 2007 with Scratch. With Scratch, coding was easy with drag-and-drop thingys and now here I am at 23, coding in C++ but I feel like Python is my strong point!
OMG you shouted out the NewBoston i forgot his channel even existed, I learned Python through one of his RUclips Courses! it was the first language I learned outside of college
Something I read recently: If your employer puts you on a performance improvement program, start looking for a different job immediately. Usually they do that so they can terminate you due to low performance (don't know the legal term), which makes you ineligible for unemployment benefits. In the US at least, the amount a company has to pay towards unemployment insurance is determined by how many of their ex-employees are on unemployment; so a company has a clear goal of documenting any "low performance", if they wish to let you go.
I wanted to say, I’m an architecture graduate and I’m interested in switching careers to coding and programming, and I’m terrified. You are so down to earth and approachable. I feel like we would be friends in real life.
pfff just got back to studying Software engineering at 24, bc i dropped out of CS at 18, and this video motivated me alot, thanks for your honest story!
Congrats ! I started right before Covid when the recession hit.I held those stocks and made a killing. I bought dividend stocks and made a lot during Covid.
I’m convinced that the big investors and analysts are trying to scare us to keep us poor and ignorant to the market…because its steady doing good after all the jobless and market crash talks
How was starting with C++? I started from the stark opposite, Python. I’m about to start my CS degree. I’ll probably do Java because that to be what most classes focus on.
I started with C++, when i was doing a degree in Applied Maths,it helped me to understand the inner workings of programming. Learning Python later on was easier and i use it everyday with the Django framework to build web applications. Java is a great language too, plus it has Spring Boot, a framework to build applications. I’d say go with Java, it’s low enough to understand essential programming concepts. All the best with the CS Degree.
First video from your channel I watch, and cool! I will complete 4 years coding in A couple months, and I love it! I’m not the greatest, my memory sucks, but I work hard!! In less than 4 years I went from being on the tools, subcontracting painting jobs, to having my own business with around 10 employees, all thanks to coding to be honest. I do my own web dev, SEO, sales, my business is automated, and it’s about to start running on its own CRM, customized. I will have more free time to eventually get good at the back end and improve at the front end too, plus my English is getting better!!. I keep coding for fun and to be ready for business ideas, …I just see opportunities at this thing , I am just not that good at coding , but there is so much money to be made!! Not necessary working for others,…cool stuff , I will follow your videos.
I'm so stuck now. I thought SW was the path I wanted to take. Took a few programming classes at my state college, did pretty well. I just don't know why I don't feel any interest in it anymore. Even if I can finish the last 2 years of schooling, I feel like getting a job, practicing for an interview, only to get a job that is something I'm not sure is even right for me is the right choice to make. I never really had any passions, so I picked this field for the money and career opportunities. I did more research into the field and tbh it does seem a bit depressing and probably has a high burn out rate. Working remote has pros, but always being alone in the house is already tough. Im taking online classes and I'm sick of being in my damn room cooped up. The issue is I don't have a backup plan either. Getting this CS degree is the quickest path to being done with school as I already have more than half the needed credits.
I pursing a cs degree aswell. I think find a good company that you truly believe in and are exited about. Looki into working for a start up. Its more challenging but also more rewarding.
Don't limit yourself to the career path of, "If I have a CS degree, I will have to be a SWE." SWE's transition to A LOT of roles outside of strictly writing code (which any SWE will probably tell you is less of their time than you'd think). Are you interested in people leading, product management, program management, user experience (UX/UI, human design), solutions consultant (wearing tons of hats but usually have a CS background or strength), etc. My point is. Having a CS degree has more benefits than simply, "I know how to write code." CS backgrounds are strong problem solvers, critical thinkers, generally pretty damn smart, creative, etc. There is a LOT of value in what you're learning that is not limited to software for any domain. You're also learning right now and that can, quite frankly, become very boring, especially at a university. I found the boot camp to be much more interactive and fun. I have an MIS degree and went to an online boot camp so I can absolutely relate for being locked up in your house for 6 months straight - at times it was daunting but it's been the best thing I ever did and has opened up doors I didn't know existed. That's personal - everyone has a different experience and outcome. That all said - follow your gut. If you REALLY aren't enjoying it - it's only going to get worse. In this field you are constantly learning and educating yourself - that never stops. So if you don't like that now - just know it never ends. Always new tech and versioning to deal with. Good luck but either way finish out that degree!
Remember what let you being passionate about programming. For me, is the beauty of automation and abstraction. When I feel me down, I try to remember a phrase coming from a neuroscientist called Andrew Huberman. "If you are feeling walking down the wrong path, and you are feeling disoriented, means that you are going towards the right way for learning." because learning itself is hard and depressing, but on the other side is fun and rewarding. I give you my advice. When you have 10 minutes break, take a walk. Go out. See your friends when you can. All of this experience is living in your head, so you are the only one who can change this to a positive experience. Keep up dude! It's temporany, won't last forever!
@@nicklitz8046 I agree. He can pivot into cybersecurity and become a cybersecurity analyst/engineer, GRC, compliance analyst, IT auditor, digital forensic analyst/examiner or get into cloud computing. You don't just have to be a SWE. There are so many options.
Excellent video. I enjoyed it watching your journey until now. And you're so right on health being the most important thing. Keep doing what you love 💪🏼
I have always felt bootcamp coders know just enough to be dangerous. The more well rounded computer science degree (at least mine was) gave a great background into everything I would need to be successful as a fullstack developer in any language with an eye for computer security.
I also got laid off from my 2nd dev job with around ~12 months of experience total at that time and also found it really hard to nail down that 3rd role even with 1 year of experience. Was worth the wait though because when I did get a role it was the perfect fit and big $$ increase
Working in IT (especially financial sphere) is full of stress which is exacerbated by toxic individuals or teams that are all around IT.. If all of my co-workers were the type of person like you, maybe I would still keep faith in humanity 😎
I Started 8 months ago. With no background on CS or Anything, i was working in Phone repair. Just said i will quit my job and Start learning Programming by myself because it's cool 😎. Started with python then Switched to Web Development And i'm Still learning Every single day with non stop, And that burned me out . But i keep convincing myself i need to make it out. Because i have no income to backup myself with. now currently learning JS OOP. I Hope i make it one day.
Yoooo I started with new boston too! In 2013 none the less. Was about to graduate that summer, needed something to do, and started coding. 7 years later I figured I'd try it professionally and haven't turned back.
Dude you really flashed some spots in my head with sayin "I'm not focused on earning more money, I focus on things that I love to do." That's a great life vision I think. Thanks for great content and sharing ur story with us. I'm a 9 years full stack developer and think the same way u do.
Actually I Am Also A Developer In India...Work In IBM Now.And It Just Fun While Coding..I Gusse People Think That Coding Is Hard Or We Can't Do It..Btw It's Easyyt
This is the first video I see on your channel and I'm really impressed on how hard your experience was in the last years. I mean it is not easy for me too (8hrs job + trying 3 hrs for CS degrees at night) but seeing this journey from your perspective kind of make me think. You done really a lot, and you are still struggling. I will keep this video on my YT playlist for motivation. Thank you for sharing. It will help me during this journey.
First time coming across this video. But I have to say it is inspiring because I want to learn to code but as of now I don’t have the time to go back to school. So I decided to do the Codeacademy as well because it’s set at my own pace. But question would you recommend to getting the Pro version?
Very inspirational. I am doing a minor in CS and I would switch it to my major if I could but my financial aid only lasts long enough for me to graduate with a degree from the business school at my college. I am strongly considering doing an MS in Computer Science after I graduate. Thanks for going through your story it is really cool.
Former business major, something about us business school students is we almost always switch to a full time computer science. I think it’s the introverts that switch. We like the logic and math, but tired of dealing with extroverted business men/women 24/7
I started to learn coding back in 2016, i moved from my country to Portugal to study CS and it seems like we have similar things in our school too. I'm applying for a job and on the interview they ask me if i can work in .NET but i have never work with it so its gonna be a challenge. Anyway keep up with the great video!!
Hi, and now we have THE MOST SEROIUS question, after all i've just seen.... so CAN we consider ourselfs as a developer after flash html\css crash course, then 3 months + with JS, and 2 months + React\Vue whatever ?? Who are we? The objects of good joykes? start ups? money spinners? This guy just said that he finished college and he wanted it! I think for those guys, who are about to jump on this "train" in a year, or 15 months it's gonna be the biggest diss.. Personaly, i'm drilling JS for about 3 months not because i understood that this is so amazing to help people( oh yea, bet companies, best winners ;), but i just literally don't have another option. There is a war in my country, not just rallies or smth but a f7cking war. and every night befor go to bed i have debates whether im on a righ way .. to hell or right choise, this is the most tremendous question of my life.
ok, i kinda expected 11 Minutes and 40 seconds of screaming to be honest. because theres not a single week where i dont internally screen at my screen for at least 15 minutes
I got 2 years left in the army and I find this stuff very interesting. Gonna put in some work and try to figure out c++. I guess I could go to school when I get out, but I’m gonna try to get the hang of it in the mean time
Nice video. I started to learn to code due to a permanent disability that i consider behind me. Moving forward i really like the horizon with coding in the picture.
brother, im the average teenager, early my fifteen studying programing for fun, amazed from internet and how big it is... today in my thirty, only thing i want im my life is work if computer... and i dont know what do with my life today
thnx for the awsome content and shading a light on the parts of programmers life wich nobody see;s going trugh the struggles and stuff its awsome man thnx for this knwlegde
Great story! It just shows how fast tech is innovating, nowadays it is hard to choose a CS degree over going self-taught or bootcamp. But maybe this is why you succeeded, it is easier to give up if you are studying on your own. Too bad, I am a loser and a failure and I will never become a software developer, but I am happy you made it!
Hey man, you have come a long way, almost quarter a million, wow, I have been watching you since you were having only few thousands of subs and I really loved your journey, wow. thanks for videos.
Wow. There's no way someone got a computer related degree and can't use the commandline. Whatever school they came from should lose their accreditation for letting them pass. That's completely insane.
Sam, I think you did a video on your channel or someone else's channel where you solve the "count the planes in the air" programming challenge. I don't know if it was a mock interview or not. Were you involved in a video like I am describing? I can't find it at all. It makes me wonder if I am even remembering correctly or not?
I admire your determination and handwork...unfortunately?..I'm not financially able to go to school....plus..me being 50 is a no brainer that it would cut into my time studying and trying to land a gig. So I only have either boot camps...which is ALSO not financially do-able...or else its self learning with Udemy or edX....along with RUclips..here's ho[ping! LoL!
This is super cool of you to share. And you're absolutely right, its the journey that forges us to be the people we wanna be, the end goal is just a milestone to count.
How far along are you in your coding journey? What are the biggest hurdles you've encountered?

Loved the honesty in this video. RUclips needs more of these. Cheers!
10 years of putting in work 💯. Congrats on pursuing happiness and also on the bootcamp! I'm excited to see what's next for you
Thanks Jon!

CAN we consider ourselfs as a developer after flash html\css crash course, then 3 months + with JS, and 2 months + React\Vue whatever ?? Who are we? The objects of good joykes? start ups? money spinners?
This guy just said that he finished college and he wanted it!
I think for those guys, who are about to jump on this "train" in a year, or 15 months it's gonna be the biggest diss..
Personaly, i'm drilling JS for about 3 months not because i understood that this is so amazing to help people( oh yea, bet companies, best winners ;), but i just literally don't have another option. There is a war in my country, not just rallies or smth but a f7cking war. and every night befor go to bed i have debates whether im on a righ way .. to hell or right choise, this is the most tremendous question of my life.
ok, i kinda expected 11 Minutes and 40 seconds of screaming to be honest.
because theres not a single week where i dont internally screen at my screen for at least 15 minutes

i dont agree with doing the bootcamp route
Why

As someone who's worked factory most all life and in mid 30's is it to late to get into tech industry and code?
2013? Ten years ago? That was the Stone Ages man! LOL.
I love your inspiration man
Yo bro im going into cal poly slo for computer science! committed! '2026
Congrats! I wish I could go back and experience it again.
nice video, but even greater clickbait title + thumbnail
Thank you... your words truly inspired me
Abcd
Such a great and important video!!!
I really get good vibes from u keep going
Coding is for people people who do not give up.
How to start coding for a non programme??
Props bud, keep it going!
Love it mate!
Wish you all the best
Hey man, you have come a long way, almost quarter a million, wow, I have been watching you since you were having only few thousands of subs and I really loved your journey, wow.
thanks for videos.
I was stressing about my CS degree and decided to watch youtube to chill out and got recommended this video and it really helped
Shout out to the newBoston !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow. There's no way someone got a computer related degree and can't use the commandline. Whatever school they came from should lose their accreditation for letting them pass. That's completely insane.
Hey man, thanks for NOT having a gay voice; // =)
Sam, I think you did a video on your channel or someone else's channel where you solve the "count the planes in the air" programming challenge. I don't know if it was a mock interview or not. Were you involved in a video like I am describing? I can't find it at all. It makes me wonder if I am even remembering correctly or not?
How old do y'all think he is? Got a degree, twice! An average of 8yrs where I'm at.
I'm pursuing a degree in environmental sciences, should i start coding?
I admire your determination and handwork...unfortunately?..I'm not financially able to go to school....plus..me being 50 is a no brainer that it would cut into my time studying and trying to land a gig. So I only have either boot camps...which is ALSO not financially do-able...or else its self learning with Udemy or edX....along with RUclips..here's ho[ping! LoL!
This is super cool of you to share. And you're absolutely right, its the journey that forges us to be the people we wanna be, the end goal is just a milestone to count.
finishing my masters this summer, tbh it feels like it would have been better to do a react bootcamp my 1st year instead
Thanks for painting the other side of the coding journey. Other channels seem to make it look so easy
Didn't know you were a rush fan! Awesome:)
