your boss isn't just an awesome boss, he's also a great human being. he gives people a chance based on their potential, not age or education. i'm hoping to find an employer who thinks the same.
Coming from a person that is learning code now and is sometimes feeling self-doubt. I wanna say thank you for posting this because is something I needed to see, and this video probably is motivating me more now, that I have a shot in this career.
As a 33 man starting with web development (for now) I find this video very touching and hopeful. It gives me strength to keep going without giving up, and when the time comes I'll get the job I'm hoping for.
I'm 59 and started development professionally at 35, this was a very relatable interview. My manager resigned last month so I assumed her role too. However, it's right in the middle of pen testing and NIST certification with the company. Time management has never been more paramount than today. For every year I've been in dev, I've read article after article about people worrying if being 30, 40, or more is to old.. Pfff... Having the right "WHY" and hunger to learn, I think removes the over the hill argument in most situations.
That is exactly what I felt man, hope. I really love development, and I stopped for 6 months because I needed an income fast. This weekend, I decided to do I little coding every day to get back in the game. So I went back to see my favorite web development youtube channels, and I find this video. it was refreshing to find honest answers and tips to land my first web dev job.
I want to work for your boss one day, the level of compassion and understanding he possesses is so great to see, I'm currently stuck in what you use to experience in your pass life, dead end job. I've always had and more so now than ever especially after watching your videos to learn how to code. Your videos are truly inspiring, Thank You. Btw, i currently live in Cypress, CA. not too far where you use to live Buena Park.
Dude awesome video! Thank you for putting this out. I’n in my early 30’s learning to code and super encouraging to hear it’s not too late. Sometimes it feels overwhelming but I’m enjoying putting in the work. Your videos are super helpful to keep motivated. Thanks again man.
Keep going dude.I started learning to develop web applications when i was 38,two years ago.Don’t waste too much time just going through tutorials(“Hello world” types),learn by building something functional. Python/Django was the easiest for me to learn.
This is like one of the best interview on programming in the world. It contains all the syntax and semantics of programming success. Very inspiring, very positive, very encouraging. Great boss you've got there.
I'm 36 years old. I have a small business and I hate it. Last year when the pandemic was raging I decided to go back to school. Finished my 1st year with a 3.8GPA, doing FT school while also managing a FT, struggling business. This whole summer I've been learning Vue, Node/Express, and a bit of React, and I can't figure out why I didn't start sooner. This video speaks to me so much ;) Thank you.
I am 32 years of age soon and I am currently working as a truck driver in Australia. I have progressed to the maximum limit my job can offer me and now I'm honestly complete bored of it. I have plenty of downtime in which I'm using to learn to code throughout my day at work and after work. This video inspires me to keep going at it, also knowing that there will always be things to learn constantly keeps me more interested in pursuing this career. And I want to thank you for making this video and giving in depth knowledge in the recruiting stage and what they look for. Super proud of you as well for what you have achieved so far and how far you've come. Keep going strong!
Dang! Your last question killed it man. I‘m 43 now and try to get in tech self-taught. It’s so encouraging what Jonan said about this 65 year old woman that she will get a job. I will make it. And hopefully see you at any tech con anywhere in the world where we can talk from one colleague to another. Super excited!!! Thx, Chris for your incredible motivational content! ❤
Loved this interview . Very inspiring. I'm still in the early stages pushing through my first html/css project. When I need a pep talk I watch one of your videos and it helps me to take a breathe and keep going.
I'm 49 and I am so grateful for this video. I went to a tech conference in late 2019 and I was told that I would never get a job because they only hire "fresh, new faces" out of college. Yeah, it was demoralizing. I taught myself how to customize Squarespace. And now I'm on learning AWS but I am self teaching myself how to code Javascript. Thank you.
At 32 years old I too am making the change to dev , almost like I was meant to watch this video at this time. Doing web dev material all day took a break to watch some practical conversation about jobs. Thank you, congratulations on all your success
What a reasonable dude is your boss. Very likeable. The fact that, when looking for a potential employee, he's looking for someone that will be 'happy' in the role and with the team is really interesting. It's almost as if we all need to do a personality inventory before applying for jobs, because if we aren't a good fit it might end up being an unhappy situation. I think your boss really understands what things can get in the way of productivity (workplace interpersonal issues etc). Great Interview.
I love this video. I'm in my late 50s and I'm brushing up my developer skills; learning some new languages after being out of it for several decades. I found the comments at the end to be very inspiring.
Man I hope I can find a boss like that eventually! A friend introduced me to coding recently, after he watched me sit around for hours just messing with different mods for skyrim. He told me I should look in to front end development since I like to tinker. I've been hooked from that day. I've been making 15 bucks an hour for the past 2 years as an e-commerce tech and I have 3 kids. For the first time ever I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Videos like this help keep me engaged and motivated because I'm used to getting shit on at every turn. Thanks for the boost and keep up the great content man!
38 year old woman changing career out of customer service to IT and it is, indeed, terrifying. Lots of doubts going on. But I *want* this. The fire is there. I have shelved all excess life time sink hobbies. I have been hungry for every course and will continue to study and learn whatever I have to to make this a reality. Hearing Jonan say "She will absolutely get a job because she wants it" hit on such a deep level. Motivation kicked up a notch. Thank you year-ago Jonan.
whoa....This is a great video. Thank you Chris AND thank you Jonan !!!! I kept trying and failing last year to teach myself coding. Life got in the way (and some procrastination on my part due to fear and lack of confidence .... if i'm being honest). Now I am going to start again. I especially feel confident about it since Jonan spoke about older people learning to code. I am 51 years old and i am giving myself 2 years from today to be working as a developer. I am not a tech newbie but more like an advanced beginner when it comes to computers and stuff. I just find the back end and I.T. side of things interesting and so i found myself trying to read books/watch videos on so many topics/technologies. ****Can anyone tell me besides the widely acknowledged path of learning ( HTML/CSS/JS ).... if learning Microsoft Office technologies and C# and Python is helpful (or even necessary) for starting as a developer? I would really appreciate any helpful suggestions. Thanks PS... It's probably very unlikely, BUT DAMN... I would love to work for a guy like JONAN !!!!! LOL...
here I'm 24 already know code...shifting from game-dev into web-dev and still doubt myself everyday and thinking im way too old lol....this was a breath of fresh air and this boss is a saint.
great video, I started to learn code in 2020 but decided to quit after 3 months due to some personal matters. I'm 41 yrs old now and started learning code again...This is a very inspirational video. Thank you!
Bro, this video gave me the motivation to push through. Im a civil engineer 31 yrs old and I just started a front end dev course in coursera. I am earning just fine at my current job, better than average actually but i just want to have more time to be with my family. And I think this could give me that. Right now im working overseas and misses my 3 kids.
I got my first QA / dev role at 36 this year. :) It's never too late and one of my favorite things to do is hype people trying to learn or considering it as a new career. It's changed my life already.
Nice conversation. Btw i just started to learn code and your channel is one of others that stand out and inspires folks that are just starting out. Good luck from 🇵🇭
Man, I really needed this vid. It's been such a struggle to learn css, bootstrap and the bit of JS that I have but this vid has given me hope because I've been looking at so many job postings and they say they require so damn much it really does seem impossible to get into the field. Thanks for great content man!!
@@JegErN0rsk I got burnt out trying to learn for hours everyday between juggling my family life and work life (which in and of itself takes 10+ hours out of my day) but I've learned a good bit of JS now and working on learning react now. Chris already told me the only reason I don't get a job at this point is if I just give up which i don't intend to. I know it'll get much easier when I just have to work on coding and not my fulltime job AND learning a new career but I'll get there lol
I am so happy to hear that its not too late for me.. I am 33 years old.. For as long as I can remember I wanted to be a developer.. I just always felt it being such a cool thing to develop and app or software out of thin air.. Now at 33 I am doing a career change from manufacturing waterproofing and being in the logistics industry to a web developer and app developer. These words "she will get a job" have given me hope.. My goals is to work from anywhere in the world for someone like Jonan.. You can see he understand life and wants the best for other people !! I admire him as a boss.. Hopefully, perhaps a future boss for me..
Jajajajaja I'm 45 years old I m gonna give a shot. Nice one I admire u , specially what u been through. I was a taxi driver driver and for five years I studied English because I wanted to teach my daughter and now I'm working in a Call Center with a American customer and now I'm gonna become a DEVELOPER. All the Best from Colombia
Your boss is the greatest. This video easily lands on my top 5 favorite of your videos. I start coding boot camp full time at coding dojo in January/February. Wish me luck 🍀
Great video! I'm definitely trying to make a present as well in the software community and I love the way you guys mentioned how tech ability shouldn't be measured by white boards alone but by character as well.
Totally agree with what he said here - "If you're happy, then you'll be more productive..." It resonated well with me cause it's true in whatever work you're doing. Cool interview!
I am currently on my journey to becoming a developer at 36. Like your boss, I am a table games dealer. I have been a dealer since I was 18 and the casino life just is not for me anymore. It's nice to know that it's never too late to start this journey.
This was so inspiring to me! Hearing all of what jonan had to say just makes me feel that i can become a web developer! I have started freecode camp as of yesterday! 😄
Really inspirational. I was about to give up because I get overwhelmed with all the new tech and college doesn't make sense either. Hopefully, I make it and everyone else will too!
This up lifting my spirit in coding. I had a rough week at my coding job. I hope to find my next coding job where I can grow as a coder and as a person just like your company. ❤️ thank you for sharing this moment.
Thank Jon again for me. Super appreciate this video to a degree, I want to say you’ll never know but probably, that you probably do know. Thank you both 🙏🏼
Thanks for this man! I was wondering if I should even question why I got into this…. I was curious if I should be doubtful of myself because I’m not the best dev I know I can be yet haha!! Push in the right direction to help me build more to learn more so I can get in somewhere and grow more
I am so glad your video appeared on my recommended list. I started to learn a programming language last week and I am actually enjoying it versus when I was studying CCNA. Hearing that your boss started at 32 just made my week and now I feel more determined to put 100% effort on learning the language I chose. I am also 32 and my goal is to hopefully build my first app within 3 months and start applying by December for a developer position. Thank you and your boss for sharing this video. You guys don’t understand how much I needed to hear your boss’s story.
@@RealChrisSean I saved your video on my Watch Later list. If I do land a developer position, it will be because of this video and I’ll reply back here.
@@akhrorkhamidov6405 was not able to finish studying because of personal distractions. But I am still determined to learn Swift to become a iOS developer.
It’s crazy what different employers look for in someone they’re interested. I’ve been doing front end for a solid month now and the he’s right you need a passion to learn and a desire to create things
Hey Sir Chris! Thanks for this video! ❤ This is one of the best video you ever made 🔥I will be in web development soon in a company who hires and gives me a chance to be part of their team even though I'm new in web dev. This gives me confidence and fire to strive more! 🔥 Thank you! Keep doing moreeeee! 🇵🇭❤🔥
Hey Chris, this video is awesome! Thanks! I really enjoyed learning from Jonan, and he had a lot of good advice to give. Hmm… I can just briefly give some feedback if you want to improve I think the quality of your deliverance that others may not say. Speaking from a viewer’s perspective wanting to hear exactly what Jonan was wanting to say, sometimes I think you interrupted him a couple times too many where I couldn’t fully get the full picture he was trying to paint. Speaking also with the thought of the goal in mind to help your videos out too. So I would recommend that you don’t have to talk less but make fewer spontaneous interjections. I definitely know it’s a balance between how you want to present yourself and what the viewer really wants to receive, so then you can consider this for follow-up interviews, if you’d like! If you do see where I’m coming from, I know it also takes practice too! As spontaneous talking helps break the ice, so it is harder to remain silent perhaps. And so otherwise, it was awesome to hear from both of you! P.S. I’m rewatching just to see if my comment was fair. Hmm, it seems like the majority of his thoughts Jonan finishes. I think it may be the style of the video with the editing and splicing and the more conversation style instead of more of an interview style that I thought it would be, that made me think to comment. Anyway, just something to think about. It may just be more of a preference thing. I’m always looking for high quality content to consume, so this is at least more of my opinion than something that is very definitive. Anyway, have a great day!
"Welcome to Software, I am glad you're here" man that hit me Its 2am right now, I am 25 currently trying figuring out how to make the switch to become a web dev. I dont know anything, about anything but I want to start my journey here and now
I liked the video and then I unliked it just to get the pleasure of liking it again 🤣 I wish I could give you a million likes. Both of you are so great! I have been watching your videos for a long time! I am 32 and I always thought I am going to be in retail for the rest of my life! after watching your videos you opened my eyes and made me believe that nothing is impossible. You inspire me so much to follow my dreams! You give me so much hope. Thank you so much, Chris.❤️
Chris, please tell your boss he gave a really great message for us who are trying to get into industry. Everyone who wants something he/she can make it. He is positive and down to earth person. You both are great men and thanks for the great vid.
What an amazing insightful video, thanks man. When he touched on people being above 30 with demoralizing lives I feel like that uplifted so many people knowing that it pertained to them specifically, myself included, well 29 but 3 months away lol. Hmm I wonder how far I can get in these 3 months!
A reasonable down to earth human at C suite level. Rare find.
Thanks for the video idea haha :)
what do u mean ?
He's director level, 2 levels under C-Suite.
Alright if joshua is here its definitely legit :)
Haha so fun to see you on a random video I clicked on
your boss isn't just an awesome boss, he's also a great human being. he gives people a chance based on their potential, not age or education. i'm hoping to find an employer who thinks the same.
YUP
I would love a boss like that for my first Dev job
bro u hit the lottery of bosses man .....i wish i had one of these !
Thanks to this video. I am 40++ and I am scared that I might be too old to code but thanks to your boss, I am now more encouraged to make it.
Coming from a person that is learning code now and is sometimes feeling self-doubt. I wanna say thank you for posting this because is something I needed to see, and this video probably is motivating me more now, that I have a shot in this career.

As a 33 man starting with web development (for now) I find this video very touching and hopeful. It gives me strength to keep going without giving up, and when the time comes I'll get the job I'm hoping for.
If you don’t give up, you will only move forward
Im in my 40s and I have a software engineering job. Started 2 years ago. Chris is right find the right employer that is looking for potential.
How are you keeping up?
I'm 29 and I thought it was too late... this video and you guys make me feel better about it!
How is going?
I'm 59 and started development professionally at 35, this was a very relatable interview. My manager resigned last month so I assumed her role too. However, it's right in the middle of pen testing and NIST certification with the company. Time management has never been more paramount than today. For every year I've been in dev, I've read article after article about people worrying if being 30, 40, or more is to old.. Pfff... Having the right "WHY" and hunger to learn, I think removes the over the hill argument in most situations.
I was about to give up trying to find a job as a self taught dev but this man has given me hope
You got this!!!
That is exactly what I felt man, hope. I really love development, and I stopped for 6 months because I needed an income fast. This weekend, I decided to do I little coding every day to get back in the game.
So I went back to see my favorite web development youtube channels, and I find this video. it was refreshing to find honest answers and tips to land my first web dev job.
Dont give up man dont discredit all your hard work you got this
Could I see your portfolio?
What a boss. Can only dream of landing a boss like this. They're seriously rare
I know right?

This up lifting my spirit in coding. I had a rough week at my coding job. I hope to find my next coding job where I can grow as a coder and as a person just like your company. ❤️ thank you for sharing this moment.
You got this!
What a great boss! The tips he gave are amazing! I know I still have a lot of work to do but, it’s good to know! Thank you 🙏🏻
man.... is this a great video for someone trying to get into web development. This guy is a awesome boss.
Wow. 32. This is probably the best video I have ever watched Chris. Thanks for putting this together!
Really amazing and insightful interview! Please do more of these
Will do :)
Your bosses thinking about everything is so much like mine it is almost scary. I love it. Keep up the great content.
Love it!! A great human experience in uplifting others! Much love!!
Always!
This was awesome, thanks for supplying us with this type of information! 🤗🤓
Thank Jon again for me. Super appreciate this video to a degree, I want to say you’ll never know but probably, that you probably do know. Thank you both 🙏🏼
Thanks for this man! I was wondering if I should even question why I got into this…. I was curious if I should be doubtful of myself because I’m not the best dev I know I can be yet haha!! Push in the right direction to help me build more to learn more so I can get in somewhere and grow more
What a great video. Found it way too late, but thankfully came to all the same conclusions. Very good advice for new developers.
Wowwww. Thanks Chris for doing this. Im 37. This is what I truly needed to start my journey. Much love bro to you and your boss. Keep it up!
Woooo!!
That is such a cool boss, man! You are so lucky! So happy to see you are happy with your new boss!
Thanks!
I wish I had your boss as my interviewer. He have the kind of mentality that makes me feel good about coming to an interview.
This interview is very helpful and it brings hug motivation. Thanks Chris Sean and Jonan
You guys are modern day fkin heroes.
LOL
Thnks So so Much for inspiring content and helping people who want to be a developer showing the way
I am so glad your video appeared on my recommended list. I started to learn a programming language last week and I am actually enjoying it versus when I was studying CCNA. Hearing that your boss started at 32 just made my week and now I feel more determined to put 100% effort on learning the language I chose. I am also 32 and my goal is to hopefully build my first app within 3 months and start applying by December for a developer position.
Thank you and your boss for sharing this video. You guys don’t understand how much I needed to hear your boss’s story.
Woooo!! Let me know when you do it! :)
@@RealChrisSean I saved your video on my Watch Later list. If I do land a developer position, it will be because of this video and I’ll reply back here.
@@akhrorkhamidov6405 was not able to finish studying because of personal distractions. But I am still determined to learn Swift to become a iOS developer.
Excellent interview!! Very inspiring!!
Inspirational video definitely come through vids to take a break fron learning to code
I’m new on this Tech Journey…. to me this Video is beautiful!
It’s crazy what different employers look for in someone they’re interested. I’ve been doing front end for a solid month now and the he’s right you need a passion to learn and a desire to create things
True
Hey Sir Chris! Thanks for this video! ❤
This is one of the best video you ever made 🔥I will be in web development soon in a company who hires and gives me a chance to be part of their team even though I'm new in web dev. This gives me confidence and fire to strive more! 🔥
Thank you! Keep doing moreeeee! 🇵🇭❤🔥
Bro, this video was so good and also very helpful! Thank you Chris and Jonan!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video! Great advice for people looking to start their career in web development.
Hey Chris, this video is awesome! Thanks! I really enjoyed learning from Jonan, and he had a lot of good advice to give. Hmm… I can just briefly give some feedback if you want to improve I think the quality of your deliverance that others may not say. Speaking from a viewer’s perspective wanting to hear exactly what Jonan was wanting to say, sometimes I think you interrupted him a couple times too many where I couldn’t fully get the full picture he was trying to paint. Speaking also with the thought of the goal in mind to help your videos out too. So I would recommend that you don’t have to talk less but make fewer spontaneous interjections. I definitely know it’s a balance between how you want to present yourself and what the viewer really wants to receive, so then you can consider this for follow-up interviews, if you’d like! If you do see where I’m coming from, I know it also takes practice too! As spontaneous talking helps break the ice, so it is harder to remain silent perhaps. And so otherwise, it was awesome to hear from both of you!
P.S. I’m rewatching just to see if my comment was fair. Hmm, it seems like the majority of his thoughts Jonan finishes. I think it may be the style of the video with the editing and splicing and the more conversation style instead of more of an interview style that I thought it would be, that made me think to comment. Anyway, just something to think about. It may just be more of a preference thing. I’m always looking for high quality content to consume, so this is at least more of my opinion than something that is very definitive. Anyway, have a great day!
"Welcome to Software, I am glad you're here" man that hit me
Its 2am right now, I am 25 currently trying figuring out how to make the switch to become a web dev. I dont know anything, about anything but I want to start my journey here and now
This video was super helpful and encouraging. I've been learning since may and I needed this boost
I liked the video and then I unliked it just to get the pleasure of liking it again 🤣 I wish I could give you a million likes. Both of you are so great! I have been watching your videos for a long time! I am 32 and I always thought I am going to be in retail for the rest of my life! after watching your videos you opened my eyes and made me believe that nothing is impossible. You inspire me so much to follow my dreams! You give me so much hope. Thank you so much, Chris.❤️
Havn't finished the vid yet but loving it so far!
lol im glad you like it so far
He is really cool boss and he seems genuine and kind. God bless.
Chris, please tell your boss he gave a really great message for us who are trying to get into industry. Everyone who wants something he/she can make it. He is positive and down to earth person. You both are great men and thanks for the great vid.
Just did :)
What an amazing insightful video, thanks man. When he touched on people being above 30 with demoralizing lives I feel like that uplifted so many people knowing that it pertained to them specifically, myself included, well 29 but 3 months away lol. Hmm I wonder how far I can get in these 3 months!
Hi, Chris, your boss is awesome, and you are awesome too👍 thank you for making such a great video for us! Very encouraging🥰
You are so welcome!
This interview is very insightful and informative . Definitely taking notes for future interviews and using this to fuel my motivation . 🙏💪
