After working as a software developer for 5 years, I am not afraid of losing my job haha. In fact I feel like I can switch jobs so easily, people keep convincing me to work for them all the time. WORK LIKE BALANCE IS KEY. Right now I am working from home and realistically working around 3-4 hours/day and getting paid top dollar
It's crazy because when I was first starting out it felt like no one was ever going to hire me. Now everyone wants to hire me 😂 it's awesome because I get to pick and choose who I want to work for. The job I decided to start working was everything I could ask for, 100% remote, great pay with a fat bonus, all the benefits plus I get to work with a friend from my first dev job who referred me.
@@DorianDevelops I know there's basic math (add, subtract, multiply, divide) in coding. I didn't know if there's a higher math level within any of the programming languages? I'm very new to coding
@@duncandevice5099 don't even think of it as math, your brain kind of knows what needs to be done(like touch typing), its difficult to explain but its becomes more like common sense. I used to be a very bad student my whole student life but I excel at software development
@@duncandevice5099 Think of it like this. You write instructions for computer to perform something. That’s all there’s to it.

This is absolute FACTS. Learning to code literally changed my life. Frying chicken in gas stations to working in tech! First time in my life I am earning well into 6 figure territory. I save more than ever. My family is taken care of. It isn't easy but it is possible.
I love your story because it feels so similar to my own and it's awesome to hear stories like ours because they're rare but prove that it's totally achievable! It's crazy when I look back and see where I'm at now. Honestly I still can't believe it sometimes..

3:00 you're wrong my friend i struggled for 2.5 years 2 get my first job i hated that because those who sold me fake dreams in youtube are sinful for not telling me this they made it very easy telling us you can get hired in 6months to 1 year and that wrong and a lie just to get more views and sell us their courses the truth why most of self thought developers quit their jobs and start a youtube carrier?
@@scottgreen3703 Exactly these people on RUclips never tell you that programming is a very, very long journey, no matter whether it is web dev, game dev, data science, etc..
No one should expect to make any money until they become more intermediate/advanced in their skillset and learn at least 2-4 programming languages. All of the job postings I see, especially for web dev, requires at minimum : HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, then maybe Python+Django/Flask, or C#/.NET as a bonus.
@@bm1006 maybe python and then Django/ Flask as a bonus ;)
@@swojnowski453 you're right
why did I type that wrong?
I've been a software dev for 5 years as well. One thing that isn't mentioned here that I feel like should be is this is NOT for everyone. The job CAN be very stressful and if you are not a self starter you will fail. This job requires constant education and extremely good self organization and self management. Yes, the money is great, yes the flexibility is great. But personally, I HATE the actual work. I like to be outside and talking to people and this job is pure isolation and indoors. You will be strapped to your computer 8 hours a day give or take and for some people that is worse than physical labor. Just want to point out that you should explore who you are before just committing to getting into programming. It is 100% not for everyone.
I'm glad u mentioned this. I tried sitting at a computer as a job for 6 months and just physically could not do it anymore. I ended being a commercial/ residential plumber. It's the same thing in the sense of very high job security lots of money and lots of free Lance work, constantly learning things.
This is ONLY for ppl that learn how to code just to get employed. I have been coding for 4 years self taught and my experience is nothing like you stated. Because I didn’t learn to just be a cog in the wheel. I learned so I can build whatever I wanted. Now I have 2 clients and was paud $20k total and I literally work from 7pm to 11pm.
@@bestofthebest3812 where you find thess clients or jobs? Quick part time wow lol. Did you charge them 10k each? For how many days and hours of work?
Elon said: You should have a high pain threshold, this is the case we learning to code. True they are people who cant hold onto this journey which is tough, but as long as one is committed, he/she can learn to code.
@@bestofthebest3812 it's because you're a freelancer. Not an employee. For us employees we have to be strapped to a computer for 8+ hours in constant meetings with hardly time to code.
Dude, thank you for this video. I've been having a tough time lately in my learning journey, and this was just the kick in the pants I needed. Be safe and you rock.
Dorian. Thank you for the work you put into these videos. I remember in another video you said something along the lines of “Im gonna get so good at coding, SOMEONE HAS to hire me.” I took this quote and ran with it. I don’t have all the time in the world to code because I work a full time job and have a fiancé and kid. I make decent money right now but I manage to get in 1-2 hours in the weekday for coding and 3-4 in the weekends. I’m going for software development for the flexibility and possibility to work remotely and live anywhere and be able to find work. Money is a plus for me but I’m in this for the long run. Thanks man.
Just got my first job!
Man it took me almost 10 months since the first application I sent out and trust me when I say I’ve sent out thousands. I’m 19 rn and real excited to get the ball rolling.
Dorian is absolutely right and I too can’t wait to be making that big money in a couple of years time hehe
Edit: The weirdest thing is that I’ve only been at this job for less than a week and I’m already getting messages from recruiters and companies asking if I can take code tests and work for them. There really isn’t any shortage
Congratulations mate! Keep it rolling!
Nice bro
I’m around your age what exactly did you do to get this??
@@hashbrown7669 just keep learning and while learning keep applying
I’m proud of you! You have a bright future ahead of you
I’m a complete beginner going the self taught route. And I watch your videos for motivation! I appreciate you so much because it’s like your my mentor /big brother giving genuine advice and not bullshitting me and continue to push me to not give up! I have a newborn now and I’m going to continue to learn and be a SWE next year this time!
I spend 4 hrs per day coding.... I've been coding since 2018. I took up a challenge to code a banking application using java swing, without drag or drop.. just pure syntax and I completed the job today. Coding is fun and wide. I love coding because you never feel the feeling of fulfillment.. just constant doubt. And having doubt will make you learn more and the more you learn...the better you become.
Swing is so much better than the fucking javafx bullshit we learn at school
Question for you:Years ago i was interested in some visual basic and later on become obsessed with macromedia flash and actionscript.....what i have found out that is that after a certain point you need to be at least decent at math to progress....cause i started becoming pretty damn good connecting other peoples code in order to complete my projects but i quickly realised that the code i was searching and couldnt make for myself was heavily based in math....
Am i wrong thinking like this or this is something that a lot of people forget to tell the aspiring..coders of the world...that they ll be very quickly start to hit big roadblocks that have to do with math....
Basically my question is..should the folks that are not very..math inclined even bother with this(as a job i mean not pasttime) or be involved in something different...thx in advance.
@@Dreamdancer11 A large part of a job as a "Programmer" is making use of pieces of software/code which others have made open source before you (and hopefully giving credit where it's due in the process). So there's nothing wrong with making use of other peoples' code when it's more "math-based" as you put it; if the problem is already solved, there's little reason to re-invent the wheel!
Generally, the more "math-based" parts of programming are less required for a simple "programmer" or even "developer" job, and more for something akin to a Software ENGINEER. Your job as a programmer is most of the time simply to put already solved problems together to solve a larger problem. If you're not as math-inclined, then simply leave those areas to the Computer / Software Engineers :)
So yes, if you enjoy programming, then you should bother with it. Being heavily math inclined is far from a requirement. You don't need to reinvent the wheel when there's already open-source solutions better than anything you (or I) could ever make in real time.
@@SweatIRL Thx for the response.
@@Dreamdancer11 we're programmers, the code u stole was also stolen lmao
I’m 22 years old and your story always gives me motivation Dorian, coming from the same background as a Latino with no father and growing up in the ghetto. I was learning how to code last year but gave up due to depression, but this time I’m really gonna give it my all even if I have to play videos like this and other motivational stuff in the back to keep me going, much love man keep doing what you do : )
You're gonna get there and succeed.
Same happened to me brother, we can do this!
You got this
Same here LET'S DO IT BRO!
For me it's the other way around. I leveraged my depression to grind it out. It's been 6 months since I started and I'm slowly pooping out cool apps already :)
Thanks for this Dorian! definitely needed to hear this, it can be overwhelming trying to become a dev self-taught, but you inspire many of us to keep going !
Thank you Dorian.ive been wanting to get into coding for a few months now as a welder,but i have imposter issues....but im gonna go for it.
No lie, I love your setup man, the dark wood, the plants and that ultra ultra wide? Perfection. The lights and wall art really tie it all together
im 32 years old and I am binging your videos and I am so thankful people like you exist who can share this information in such a relatable way- you're also not cocky and I can tell you genuinely want to help people! I know nothing about coding however I want the freedom- I am tired of corporate America and getting underpaid due to office politics. I want a skill -period!
I really like that he does the pros n cons of being a developer. Not just one sided
Thank you for this. I am just barely a year into programming and you just mentioned some of my fears about it being too competitive, and I often worry that I may have made a wrong decision. But your videos keep giving that push and hope that something good is coming my way if i keep working hard enough. Thank you.
Be so good they can't ignore you
You are the reason why I am still subscribed to your channel, thank you for your informative BS filtering content, truly inspiring !👏

Where did you find the apprenticeship?
@@oliverloftus5761 I use indeed and the government apprenticeship website…having to find ones that don’t require a computer science degree is the hard part, which is odd enough as if you have the CS degree you would go for junior roles anyway
@@bigmanbedda thanks man, I'll keep looking! Hoping to get into a junior role being self taught but it's proving tricky!
As a software engineer who now works 100% remote I couldn't agree more. It is all mental labor not physical labor.
I started looking up tutorials and such on RUclips including a few from this channel. Ready to get learning and coding. Then my PC, (Using Chromebook RN) died. Now I'm looking for something part time so I can get it fixed and learn coding. I'm really glad I happened upon Dorian's channel and still fully intend to get a good job coding.
I'm so glad I came across your channel, man. It's a blessing!
Great positive video! I do hear some negative stuff as you mention about coding. I don't care, I'm still going to keep learning to code because I enjoy it. I've been learning code (HTML & CSS) since February. I can't wait to learn Javascript next.
Thank you for sharing your personal experience with us...you just encourage me to pursue being a coder. I have been doubting whether i should or not.
Any update?
Dorian, best intro ever. Your videos keep getting better and better. Your real talk has definitely been an inspiration in helping me get into the tech field.
You really give me a motivation boost whenever I get stuck on the boring stuff
Thank you for telling us your experience. Can you tell us how many languages you've learned so far and which ones you've found more useful or more profitable during your learning/working journey?
what I like about coding is, the more time You put into learning it, the more advanced You can get. Its not like most skills where theres a limit to how good You can get. You can literally get AMAZING at coding and take it to new levels the world hasnt even experienced yet. Sky is the limit
Thank you Dorian for this No BS content
I hope you have an absolutely fantastic day full of positivity and happiness
I love your content, Love the way you speak to us...Just everything about your Channel is immaculate!
Hey man! I love your videos but this b-roll is actually very good! Properly lit and nice smooth camera movements. I appreciate the effort and you should use this more in your content which is already great! Just be careful not to place b-roll just fill spaces. Other than that, this video is absolutely great!

This also applies to any high level skilled trade. Look at what senior mechanics, welders, electricians, and other craftsmen make.
I'm one of those senior mechanics. Been turning wrenches since 1997. Doing this is killer on your body and I'm getting back into coding now
@@phillysupra Definitely. I wish we could swap knowledge! I so badly want to build a hot rod, but don't have the knowledge or skillset.
None of them make as much as coding do. Not only that but coding is less stress on your body long term wise. Less hours. Remote working. Many more benefits
@@FA-sr6lx the only part I can disagree with is the money part. I myself specialize in electrical diagnostics. If it requires voltage, I can fix it or troubleshoot it. This is not the case for any average mechanic. For what I do and depending on where you live we can range from 80- 125k plus. For me, I've come to learn that even though mechanics are deemed "necessary" workers, it's is NOT pandemic proof nor physically sustainable like I previously said. For me, a change back to IT is so I can better spend time with my family ( side note, I used to work help desk, A+ certified for Merck pharma in my area until entire plants were laid off back in the late 90's)
@@FA-sr6lx I know people that build fences, literally just wood fences, that make as much as I do. You are right about the physical aspect for sure. However, I like physical jobs as well. If only I could somehow code and mow the lawn at the same time. 😆
thank you so much for your motivation ..i am still in uni and i wished if i chose a major related to coding but i couldn't. now i am trying to learn on my own. i've always loved programming and i was facinated by it. i'll make time to learn it so well.
Great video Dorian. Learning how to code has been an amazing experience for me. I'm glad it was a good experience for you!
Hey Dorian, thanks for the high-quality no BS advice and tips you create on RUclips. I’m currently on my pathway of a career change from a Financial Advisor at a bank in Canada to a software developer. Keep up the awesome work man!
Really? A financial advisor taking that kind of risk??
I just finished coding a trading software and apps. Took 1 year to finished reading all the quantitative finance books and coding. Among all software projects i have done. This one is the toughest but the advantage is you dont have to do sales and marketing to sell software since trading itself is directly connected to finance.
I’m really wanting to get into code and this motivated me more, thanks man💪🏽
Love your channel man. No bullshit, tough love, the truth.
I quit the fitness industry recently and have been trying to find what industry to transition in to. I keep coming back to coding but haven’t pulled the trigger yet, but this video gave me the confidence to make a decision and start learning. Thank you
Learning to code is the same as fitness. You get super easy quick gains at first learning the basics. Then the bigger and more complicated project you work on, the harder it is to get the PR. Literally the same grind process.

My mate and mentor who is wayyy younger than me dropped out of school and makes a decent amount more than that. This stuff definitely isn't easy and you'll need to do study in your own time or some overtime at times, but it's all possible and you don't need to be some highschool genius to do well as a Dev!

What kind of career did you get into after learning?
@@boshfitt8047 I became a web software developer. At my current job I use React on a daily basis to create banking software.

But until I figure out how to make as much money doing that I’m sticking with coding!
Okay. So, I WENT to bootcamp for BackEnd Python Dev, SQL, and DevOps, and I graduated and learned to code. But now, I've been jobhunting, so far I've probably put in a thousand application and resumes, AND I CAN'T GET A JOB! Every one of these motherfucking companies want someone who has been a professional coder FOR AT LEAST 5 - 7 YEARS! SOME WANT 10! So wtf do I do? I just need my first job!

i work as a pharmacy tech at a hospital, the hospital offered me free coursera courses for 2 years to become either a google cloud developer or a google cloud data engineer.
i took the offer and do it on my free time, i have to say that I'm fucking terrified with thoughts of failure etc...
I reached the ceiling as a pharm tech in my state at 55k a year, I cannot waste this opportunity and your videos have been inspiring.
so I'm starting with google analytics cert which uses R as a language, then i plan to take "python for everyone" and finish with cloud data engineer.
good luck to everyone out there trying to switch to possible greener pastures.
I'm also pharmacy tech working towards becoming a web developer. So awesome to see someone else in my position
I dropped out of my computer engineering course about 4 years ago due to anxiety and depression. After working hard in my recuperation without any help, now I feel prepared to get on that journey again. I'm now enrolled in the CS50 course and studying a lot to achieve my goals. During that difficult period of my life, I also learned English, which is today my second language and due to that, I can watch amazing videos like this one. Thank you so much 🇧🇷❤️
Marcos, vim parar nesse vídeo pq to querendo muito trabalhar na area. Desejo tudo de bom pra vc na sua caminhada ❤️
You took out the thoughts from my heart... I was trying ti learn the basics and I found free code camp is one of the best beginners' resources ever
Thank you for this video. It came at the right time, I was at the brink of giving up
Your story helps solidify my decision to become a web developer and not turn back. As a non-degree holder, I experience moments of doubt, but people like you prove it's very possible. I don't know how realistic this is, but I hope to get my first job by year's end. That's with about 12 hours per week of study. I hope that's enough, because I'm so eager now to get started professionally. I want this so, so bad.
You'll get it! Just don't quit! Sometimes things might not happen as soon as we'd like them to but as long as you keep at it, it WILL happen!
Even 2 years is worth it, I'm 40 and have never made more than 18 an hour. Even if it takes me 1.5 or 2 years that's fine with me, but I'm still pushing for a year!
Two months in roughly and building my portfolio and a site for my ex wife's business, and I haven't even finished my html/css course yet. Leaps and bounds for me, but once I get to JS I imagine it'll take off quicker. Keep plugging away! Cheers.

To me, it’s not about how many hours you spend learning each week. It’s more about how well the information you learned thus far stick in your brain. Focus on the knowledge itself, not the amount time you spend on learning. Otherwise you’ll burn yourself out in no time.
@Junfeng Ou agreed. It also helps to build something with what you learned that day or hour or whatever. For example, I have been building a couple of sites as I learn, tweaking, remixing with the new concepts. Making them look better and be more efficient each time while cementing those concepts and techniques by doing.
Learning to code takes a lot of time - I thought 15-20 hours per week was enough, but it wasn't for me. So this is basically how I did it.
Monday-Friday: 3-4 hours of studying after work (from 7 p.m. to 10-11 p.m.).
Saturday and Sunday: 8-12 hours of studying each day, basically studying all day.
That gave me 30-40 hours each week (like having a second job I wasn't paid for), and that was surprisingly doable, and that worked.
You don't have to be exceptionally smart to become a dev, but you have to be willing to give it a lot of time. Sometimes just hunting down that weird little bug can take many-many hours of focused effort. So yeah, this thing takes time, a lot of time. Other than that, it's simple. Good luck.
As a 39 year old man who is self-learning coding too, thanks for your video. Having self-motivation and self-discipline is tough, your video is helping me to push on

Very true! I don't make 6 figures (still at junior level after 2 years), but I do agree that it's financially one of the best decisions you can make!. I'd also add that it kind of also makes you learn self-discipline.

Id say 2 years of experience is enough to be qualified as a mid level, just apply to those jobs
Do you have a bachelors degree in comp sci or something similar?
@@cuzzo9146 I did attend few bootcamps, and studied on my own. Going to something like a university did cross my mind, but anything related to programming where I live kinda of sucks education wise, that and you need to know math for certain subjects and I suck at math.
I can also vouch for this video. I have a Business Administration degree, and not only is it worthless, not only am i in 40k debt listening to my parents who believes a degree is all or nothing in life, but I don't even use the degree for anything software development related. After the degree, like you Dorian, I only worked in the service industry with entry level jobs, then it was the Census Bureau, then I became a custodian during covid and all of last year I was a doordash driver barely making ends meet. Last year, I made $12,189, where I'm at now I'll be making $60,000 a year. If that's not enough, because of being in the Web Dev industry now, as well as tweaking my resume and networking, I get atleast 3-4 interviews a week to get even better pay, and work from home, since where I'm at went from 2 days hybrid to on-site five days a week recently. I admit I got too comfy as of late at my current job, but being back in office was my new wake up call to continue to learning more advanced code (Data Structures, Algorithms, etc.), so that I can pass these coding interviews, and have even better pay, WFH, benefits, and a greater opportunity to invest more into stocks, crypto, etc. I may not know the ends of outs of every concept with coding, and sometimes I still screw up with the basics, but I'm continuing the grind until I'm satisfied with my finances in life. Keep it up with the great content man!

For now I'll be busy with advanced CSS and then vanilla JS, they should keep me busy for a little while, JS anyway at least. I like CSS.
Thanks Dorian i needed this video...
I started at the beginning of this year and fell off last month or so.... time to get back on!
I’m about four months into my self taught journey and I love it!! I can’t wait to actually get the job but I still have a ways to go
Been tryna start my coding journey for some weeks now, it’s tough. I’ve got ADD and I do a lot of things and I just can’t seem to focus on it the way I should. But imma start and if you relate to this you can do it too. Let’s get it
I just started my medication for it and I’m thinking I can really apply myself to something like this (possibly)
This is why I decided to return to school as a computer science major. Ik myself very well, ik i won't do this on my own. I'm actually enjoying school with all the labs we have to take, and the programming projects. It rlly forces me to learn cus there the pressure of failing the class if i don't.
I have ADHD, all I can say is, do what you love, and do what you CAN do. I tried to force myself to learn coding and it was just nonstop agony. My brain shuts down when I perceive no feeling or meaning in the activities I’m doing. I’m a musician and the money may not be great, but loving what I do all day makes me love life, and is that not what one ultimately hopes to achieve by seeking money?
I have advice. Start your routine first thing in the morning and do NOT lose your momentum. Start after your morning routine and keep the momentum. Coffee is also ridiculously helpful, people with ADD have good things to say about coffee
I’m leaving this comment here as I will start coding consistently from 23/05/2022. I hope to come back to this video and this comment in one year’s time to see my progress. 🤞🏾Thanks Dorian
Hey I am starting today, do you want an accountability partner through the journey
@@komalkatoch8335 Heyy yes I would love that
Brother this was awesome. I’m in a career I’ve fallen out of love with, but wasn’t a majorly intelligent person in school.
This gives me hope.
thank you for you honestly and also i like how large your code font is.
Lost my job two weeks ago due to the company I was working with going bank rupt.. stumbled across this video after having a long talk with my gf about what our next step is going to be.
Coding is the answer, always wanted to get into it just always thought I didn’t have the time.. no more excuses.
Best of luck with your journey
Start with Python. Once you get comfortable with that... then Learn C++ or C# ... Java Script is a great choice too. Hell... even COBOL is making insane salaries.
@@MikeStJacques I just completed HTML/CSS5 on CodeAcademy , working on implementing them.
JavaScript is next
@@Jrodxz That is awesome! Keep setting goals and try to get "certified" in what you are learning. A Google search should help you find "reputable" certifications. Some RUclips sites are dedicated to "certifications."
@@MikeStJacques will definitely do that! Your video has been awesome. I’ve rewatched it several times now.
Learning to code is the best for those who TEACH and sell courses. The market is already diluted with low skill junior developers
God may bless you. I quitted coding for the work part because I spent a lot of time seeking for a job and I couldn't find it, I try freelance but that never worked, but when you mention Enrepreneurship it was like a light in my head because I have a lot of ideas wrote in my notion that I not did because I hadn't the skills on that time but now I am confident, thank you
Thank you so much! This sounds like the path for me.
He's a doctor, a police, a plumber, an astronaut and he knows how to code. Johnny Sins the ultimate man.
Actually I've never met a self taught programmer who got a life changer job. It's a lie, let's face it. It's just a RUclips thing. Companies will always ask for 3675 programming languages and useless frameworks, 5 years of experience and a often a degree to get a job, come on.
I think that learning programming it's a valuable thing, but the best dev job you can get when you know just one language like Python, is called unemployement. Change my mind. Post some job offers.
Not true. Self taught and have a job with good salary. Companies don't give a f about what you studied, they want portfolio and get the job done.
@@KatinoBerete I don't know where you live, but here in Italy it seems like it works this way. Companies ask for degrees, years of experience, a huge array of languages and frameworks and a endless amount of other things, not considering that you just can't be good at everything they ask for, let's be honest. If what you said It's true, then why this gatekeeping on EVERY job offer? I'm starting to think that maybe programming it's not my cup of tea despite I like it, cause it feels like everything I do It's not enough to be part of the industry.
Try to have a look on indeed and you'll realize that being a self taught programmer it's not enough to apply for a job.
@@DubZenStep thank you for sharing your experience and opinion. I feel that there's truth in your words.
Lots of love brother. good message!!!
Yet another very inspiring video, I'm investing more and more in learning basically coding and related stuff, I get all the more empowered with yours videos. Thanks for your progressive word.
Admire the fact that this is not a get rich soon sort of a scam.
Highly skilled specialists like Dorian are always in low supply, because few people are willing to spend so much time learning the skill. Low supply means high salary.
So much time? A year is NOTHING when learning to code, unless you come with a strong set of mathematical/logical skills from previous education. Let’s not even mention every new technology that appears and that you have to continually learn how to use. Besides, bad developers get fired quick, and being a good developer is seriously hard. Not trying to kill your dreams, but get in this only if the discipline itself alone motivates you to spend a hell of a lot of time racking your brain, pondering difficult decisions and if you can get around to solve difficult logical problems. Fewer and fewer people are hiring those who can solve the “easy” problems.
Yes Sir. Thank You for pointing this out because it is critical.
Sir with all due respect I thought I would add that not everyone can learn how to code and succeed. I've been in independent contractor for almost 40 years here in Silicon Valley performing software development/testing Hardware testing working for 9 of the Fortune 100. The one brutal fact that I've learned is that unless your IQ is at least 120, the higher the better, you might as well forget a career in the computer industry. I can't count the number of people over the years who thought they could just learn how to code and succeed here and within two years they were gone never to return.
This is arrogant and utterly useless, do not listen to this idiot, anyone can do it.
your an inspiration bro once you said I have GED and made it I realized I can break into tech thanks for the motivation
This is 100% true, speaking as a self-taught software developer working in blockchain (another tech industry looking for help with a low barrier of entry). Had no professional experience before I landed my first job, but I did have some notable freelance experience working with a small team releasing an NFT collection. Before this, I also worked in customer service, which I hated...got my bachelor's degree in theater lol. This is doable IF you have a builder mindset and love problem solving. Working on your analytical skills and problem solving skills helps a lot.
Can i learn without any math ?
Yes
3:00 you're wrong my friend i struggled for 2.5 years 2 get my first job i hated that because those who sold me fake dreams in youtube are sinful for not telling me this they made it very easy telling us you can get hired in 6months to 1 year and that wrong and a lie just to get more views and sell us their courses the truth why most of self thought developers quit their jobs and start a youtube carrier?
Heyyyy Dorian, thanks for you videos! you support me without not even knowing me!
I'm 28 yo, I was something like u, only booze, drugs, YOLO, online games, etc...
nowadays i'm the manager of a language school in brazil, but im allways with an feeling of emptyness in my stomach, i hate my job and i dont want this for my life anymore!
With your motivational speechs it gives me more energy to keep trying to change my career! i want a better future, i can do it!!
Thanks for your work
I like that ur brutally honest!!
I respect the work you put into your videos. I find it truly baffling that all major crypto RUclipsrs just look at pure wave and completely ignore the bigger narrative of why BTC is pumping and why the future outlook might not be as bullish as it seems. It's kind of irresponsible to ignore the fact that each ETF launch so far has caused a big swing in BTC spike. We were already on shaky footing with historically low volume and almost pure whale pumps, narrowly avoiding a long-term bear market. This is the worst possible time in history to invest as so many don't back up their crypto assets.More emphasis should be put into day trading as it is less affected by the unpredictable nature of the market,……..I have made over 11 btc frm day trading Eliana Brooklyn insights and signals in less than 2 weeks this is one of the best medium to backup vour assets Incase it goes bearish
Most failures and loss on investment usually
happens when you invest without proper knowledge of the market..I was able to recover my losses with Eliana Brooklyn,
Her good reputation already speaks for her last month i invested over $100,000 with her and I've already made over $250,000 profit.
Kindly reach her thru Nice gram page with,
Elianabk is the name.
My growing love for crypto caused me to explore until I came across Eliana(although I'm trying to avoid sensationalism) they are by far the best. No hype for hype's sake, but great inspiration to trade crypto.
Mrs Jane is legit and her method works like magic I keep on earning every single week with her new strategies
I think I'm blessed because if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as expert Mrs Jane,
I think she is the best broker I ever seen
I remember friends calling me crazy when I started but now I shut up them with my four figure weekly returned.
I'm happy today because of Mrs Jane
Starting early is the best way of getting ahead to build wealth, investing remains a priority. I learned from my last year's experience , I am able to build a suitable life because I invested early and ahead this time .
I'm not here to converse for her but to testify just for what I'm sure of, she's trust worthy and best option ever seen,
She has made success easier than we thought
@Alex Soares She's not like other brokers that will star telling you stories and excuses why they trade didn't go well after collecting your money
I gottta say I completely agree with you, I spent covid times on django and python. As of now I started my own company became a django teacher, founded and curently selling my first big Saas project. Still nothing is certain but future looks bright, not in the traffic jam every morning, gosh its great.
what a juicy comprehensive nerve calming extremely high qualitative video. man, i love you.
Bro you need to clean up the bot comments. Some of them are even imitating you. I call them "whatsapp bots" or "telegram bots". Please clean it up a little bit, it's annoying.
I try to stay on top of it but it's too many. I report, remove and ban them whenever I see them. It's really a yt problem. Many creators have talked about this issue..
@@DorianDevelops
did you try thio joe's tool?
Coding is not for everyone. I totally disagree it is a good idea to learn to code if you want financial goals. Most people are better off doing commerce or marketing to achieve financial freedom. Learn to code if you are introvert with good concentration and logical skills. If you are a people person do marketing or sales.
From a 15 years experienced C# team lead.
hard disagree with being an introvert because that will attract people with poor social skills. it's better to tell this suits more people who actually don't mind spending a lot of time alone, regardless if they are introverts or extroverts, as you need alone time to concentrate on the task and being unable to be by yourself for long stretches of time will wear you off in this profession
It doesn't hurt anyone to try. People should just try for a couple months, see if they like it, if they don't then move on.
Dorian, it's the first video I'm watching on your channel. Awesome advice! Your life is proof of the wisdom you share. Very inspirational!
Im 14 and im just starting to learn code and these videos are very helpful, thank you
thank you for the video. it has inspired me to continue this struggling endeavor. I just finished a bootcamp and ive sent a hundred applications and not one responded.
As some one that been learning web dev for the las 180 days I needed to hear this
I learned about learnwithnoel's through a post you made on here and we are currently learning Javascript OOP! So thanks to you I have something to look forward to everyday! even though I know it's going to be harder to land jobs where I am located and people only take you seriously when you have a degree.
Thanks, your videos keep motivating me to continue on the software development path as a self-taught. Thank you for your free advice.
You just brightened my day...we push through
Learning to code and career change from accounting to SE. 👍
I needed to hear something like this currently learning web development and python I hope someday I will reach my goals
Very inspirational - thank you! 🙏
Amazing video, keep up the great work! :)
finally something positive
Thank you for being so transparent..
Love your content! So inspiring 💪
