You seriously want money for those? The one with the palms is not even in good quality
Too Dope,
Homeschool,
Your video is quite the truth?!!!
If you're doing what u luv u know what I 'm giving u some luv cause u are simply dope young soldier. I think its one thing that u chose the path of becoming a software engineer, second young soldier u've been to Switzerland!!! Not san Diego for anyone else peeping this. I'm a prior service I did travel overseas but I didn't go there so u got one up on me!!! I'm just an old soldier that would like to get some IT stripes, tired of the slave master & plantation grind I do have.
@@michelbruns hi iujjoj
You’re name is not Jasi is Gyasi a Ghanaian name!
I like your little grey arm(less) sofa, where’d you get it? Is it comfortable??
When u said “I used to have hoop dreams too” I felt that
🙏
I think we all did 😔😭
Sorry, but what does 'hoop' mean in this context?
@@DaniIhzaFarrosi means playing basketball (professionally)
I’m late but same 😂😂😂😂
Two reason why I love this field: 1) It's a transferable skill and 2) it challenges you to learn. It's a transferable skill because you can work for yourself or work for a corporation. It challenges you because there's always something new to learn you didn't know before. Great video, by the way 👌🏾
That's why I'm teaching myself development. I live to learn and I live to build.
@@briabytes Same here!
Accurate!
Awesome 😊🔥👨💻
I’m not good at math nor programming but I’ll pushy myself and not give up
This video was a breath of fresh air as a software development student. Thank you for the positive message!
No problem happy to help!
I want to go to college for it does it take a lot of math??
@@100bxnes yup. Calc 1 and 2 and optional calc 3/linear algebra along with algorithm design classes which are labeled as cs classes but truly are math classes. Also probably statistics classes along the way. It’s not easy but if u love it do it and it will pay off
As an electrical engineering student im on the fence to switching to the software side
@@linksawakening9737 I heard electric engineering is super hard 😳
Seeing another black man do what i wanna do inspires me bro!
Yes it does. Thanks for the channel content and the information!
Yes it inspires me because I am young but I am learning and I want it to be a software engineer so I am working on my dream
@J K ummm ok
I’m not black but same
representation matters
I'm a CS student graduating in June. I've been feeling quite unmotivated and scared about what the future holds. I even began questioning my choice. This video was all I needed to get back on track, thank you so much!!
Ayy, keep grinding. I’ve been struggling with lack of motivation recently too, but we just have to keep moving forward. I’m going into freshman year of college next year and planning on majoring in CS
@@Dafri2 Good luck!! CS is the future for sure. You'll do good.
Same here! But girl we need to shoot for the stars. You came this long keep going💪🏻💕
Quick question how much did you know about software engineering going in as a freshman in college like because I have no clue but I’m willing to learn
@@s_gaming-wo3db Me?
You know what's the best thing I like about software engineering? It's the fact that you can write code and build whatever you want and the process of doing so is just amazing.
YUHH
have you started the journey?
@@kelvinbethrand8914 yup. I have been doing this for quite a while now. I made a react project and 2-3 apps on android. I'm really loving this journey so far.
@@joelvarghese3370 is coding hard? Like in a scale of 1-10 what would it be
@@tafsibhuiyan8730 anyone can memorize syntax. but its actually using your mind to configure optimal solutions to problems that's hard. with hard work though, anyone can do it. but to give you your answer id say a solid 7.5 for the average American
Coffee is becoming a real trend in the Programming world just because programmers and other Devs don't know what else to post on Instagram other than their macbooks and desks if not tips 😆
lol facts
Legit.
Hahaha true
Not even a software engineer but I watched the whole thing 😅
Thank you so much!!
This is exactly why I want to become a software engineer. I've taken a few classes on Codecademy and I just love coding, it's so relaxing and satisfying when a code successfully runs.
Yeah, I love the way he made the video. It has the sense of maturity and relaxation. What he did really make SWE look as a proffesion. In these few years, I have been seeing a ton of RUclipsrs and tiktokers making videos how much you make as a SWE. I hate it. I hate Facebook and Tiktok the most. If SWE is that hard and stressful, why are they sitting making tiktoks?
That’s key bro enjoy the process in life and the moment. It’s about the journey not the process. All glory to God 🙏🏾💯
no k ok ok pnkoo

I just finished my program in Computer Programming and have been applying like crazy to be a full stack or front end developer! Its so inspiring seeing another Brother do it! Much love keep on doing this man.
The creative part I love the most about programming is thinking of and implementing beautiful solutions to complex problems. I just enjoy it so much to simplify a really complex problem with well organized, clean and readable code. Most people think programming is a lot of math and just spitting out code, but it is also a lot about composition.
Where did you learn that problem solving skill?
Thanks for the positive content! I’m trying to teach myself to code and move into a new direction with tech. Its overwhelming but the pros sound worth the hard work ☺️
Thanks for a great video. I just started an undergraduate program for software engineering, it's an online course because I work 40+ hours and have a family and farm to take care of, but sometimes it seems a bit overwhelming. Videos like yours reaffirm what I'm striving for an why, and I hope you realize how valuable that is in today's world. Much success my friend. Subscribed!
Just found this channel, really well made. I love lofi while coding and studying because it doesn't distract me and it shuts out background noice which is nice.
I have a degree in electrical and computer engineering but I have worked as a software engineer my entire 34 year career. I LOVE crafting great software! I feel like I never worked a day in my life because I enjoy what I do so much. Programming is both science and art. You either love it or don't. In engineering school most of the kids in my classes hated programming. I feel lucky.
This is really Inspiring. I feel like there are many videos about being a software developer but nothing hits like this. Thank you.
I've been trying to figure out what I want to do with my life because I am 24 and failed to do anything to help my future. This definitely inspired me and I think I figured out what direction I want to go now.
hope you succeed in whatever it is u choose do !!
Goodluck! All the best to you ^ ^
Same. I’m 22 and I’ve tried nursing, ministerial studies, construction.. I feel like I’d like this
@@tywilliams5653 Stick this out man get through it!
never too late bro I’m right there with you
Really loved this video, I've been a software developer for a year now myself - definitely lucky to be in the role with only 2 years front-end web developer prior experience - and I absolutely love the work I do. I don't really like the company I'm doing it for but never before have I been so happy with my job even when not happy with the company culture outside of my department. The opportunity to work remotely and travel is the biggest reason why I got into this field; well, that along with the ability to create something you can build a business around.
I think it's a fantastic field to be in, and I enjoy it very much :) Awesome video! I feel the same way about the point you've raised, it's nice to see someone highlighting the positives about the job.
Thank you so much for your positivity ! I really appreciate this video. I'm currently in technical college and exploring different careers/majors online. I've been looking into this type of stuff and even game development to see what best fits my interest while I'm in school already.
As a programming student, this video absolutely nails it. You are an inspiration! Much love from Canada
Dude, I love your coding. I have been a coder for almost a year now, and I still have a lot to learn. I wish I got into web development in college. You were the first channel that got me started into coding. For that I thank you.
I love it! This was inspiring been looking for my next shift in the industry and this vid may or may not gave me that.
How am I just now finding your channel!! This is awesome! Thank you for making this channel. I’m a senior in college preparing to enter this industry, and this is making me excited!
Great video! I have been wanting to learn software engineering for quite sometime because i really enjoy everything it entails. I work in the medical field and have a stable job. I want to become a software engineer because I feel very passionate about it. Your video has pushed me to pursue it.
I'm now choosing the colleges I'm gonna apply to and thinking about my major, and this video helped a lot! Thanks, now I'm almost 80% sure about Software Engineering!
Your videos are helping me out so much! I'm a prospective computer science major in college and have always had a passion for technology.
Really killer video. Gave me the motivation to spend today (Saturday) on my side project! Subscribed.
Hey Gyasi, i just went to comment section to say that your videos looks so comfortable to watch. It gives me a sort of relaxing vibe. Yeah, that's all and you're incredible.
I can't wait to finish my mechanical engineering major to focus on becoming a developer. Also, lovely setup!
I really love your video. You inspired me a lot. I just get into this industry and sometimes I get demotivated. But when I watch videos like this, it makes me motivated again. Thanks a lot man. Keep it up.👍
I have such an interest in programming and was definitely intimidated by the learning experience that need to face but I now am certain that this is for me thanks to this video which makes perfect sense. Much respect!
The programming community is much more inclusive and helpful than it's reputation.
Also Coffee ☕ makes the world go round 🙂
facts
I asked on a facebook group why it's bad to use "using namespace std;" and I was crucified with laugh reacts and irony :))) The community is quite dual in this regard, they make fun of you while helping you out and I love this so much!
i’m a sophomore in high school and i’m definitely planing on getting a scholarship with basketball and going into this field i’ve been watching all ur videos thanks for the help‼️
If your school offers AP comp sci A definitely take it. You’ll thank your teacher later.
HEY SAME BUT IM DOING VOLLEYBALL !?!?!?
@@bobbyday7113 really is this like required or just suggested ??
Just ran across your channel last week. Love you content bro. Super high quality videos and you have a good personality. Keep grinding 👊
I'm a senior in high school that's about to start CS. Your videos really hype me up for the road ahead of me. Great video, bro!
Man, I was in the basketball coaching world..then started working for a tech company. Now taking a SWE online course and you’ve been nothing but inspiring. Don’t stop being you, and bring us along this amazing journey you’re on.
I like being a software engineer because it makes you think in a more modular way. Yes, this is not only exclusive to software engineers but I haven't always thought like that. I'm able to use this in other areas of my life so it's awesome. I also like how much other branches there are to CS. I like to learn all the time! There's definitely a lot to choose from so it's hard to get stuck in the same routine.
Other areas of your life like what? Can you give an example?
Starting late (24 now) but I decided to finish my degree in software engineering; after many failed attempts at landing a job since the pandemic started in digital production that I have a bachelors in. This really inspires me to learn more and be the best self that I can be. Thank you so much. Great video!
Awesome video man! I'm majoring in CS next fall and super excited!
Current CS student from the University of Cape Town. All the reasons you brought up are how I know I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be. Thanks man
thank you as a struggling junior computer science major. definitely the most difficult thing i’ve faced so far in life...
I'm just starting my coding journey and really enjoyed this video. Thanks! New sub. P.S. My OCD is so pleased watching this; beautiful space
Hi Gyasi.Good to be on your Channel again.Thank you for all your valuable input.Like to watch because my teen is very interested in this field.Currently a junior in highschool in the softwear engineering program
finally a youtuber with software engineering motivation. I've lost hope when i watched thetechlead, but now i can say i want to persue in this career.
Yeah techlead can be bit arrogant lack luster.
@@bobbyswan5659 He is definitely kinda sad deep down. I feel like he worked so hard all his life and he envisioned his sucess differently. Maybe it was his divorce idk.The dream is always better in ur head.
A big difference is that TechLeads focus (when I still watched him) was about improving and trying to get this promotions in, while Gyasi here mostly puts emphasis on what's already great about SE
The into was so good I immediately subbed
Awesome video as usual, man. Giving great content to the masses. Gotta love listing to Lo-Fi while coding.
Thanks brotha glad you enjoy it!
Bro this was really inspiring and encouraging. Thanks so much
100% agree about the flexibility. 1 thing that I was finding difficult at the beginning, was to stay focused since no one around me was working lol
They should have desks for software developers that pedals like exersize bikes so you can exersize while you work. It also may help you think
I think there are
@@branwithoutclaws nice
Pedal your thoughts 😉
I feel like I'd sweat too much lol
Such a wonderful video! Shouts out to Pops, underrated how much a fathers words mean even in casual guidance lol. Please keep making more videos, I’m currently deciding if I want to take the leap into tech lol
Appreciate this video. I'm self-learning and these motivational videos inspire me.
My one and only reason, “because it’s the best career on the planet.”
Basically
@@GyasiLinje Finance is also pretty nice.
Nice video again bro, I am even doing speed typing trying to improve how i type and yes coffee lol. Oh yes the music is dope, nice content.
Thanks so much glad you enjoyed it!
Taking a break from Network to dabble in Software. Happy to see I already 2 key characteristics. Lofi and coffee. Subscribed.
Just want to take this time to thank you for your positivity! A lot of peoples videos out there are meant to be click baiting and built on fear mongering, but its good to see positivity content. Keep it up Gyasi!
Office space so cleeeean and mentally inviting, makes you ready to “do shit”
4 months ago: why you shouldn’t become a software developer
2 months ago: why I love being a software developer 😂
There are definitely ups and downs, lol. :)
All for the clicks
I mean, it's easy to combine really "I love being a SE, so leave it to me and dont become one" :D
@@adamgumm2265 are you a software engineer?
@@TheTwizted A “recovering” software & full stack developer of 15 years. Focused more on videography and photo work now. 🤓👍
This was super duper helpful I appreciate you sharing this video because it just helped me get excited all over again lol
Glad I could help!
I’m so glad I found your channel.
Love from PDX
Now I feel relaxed... I like watching these when I start doubting myself and the career path. Lol can never forget the hoop dreams
howfa bro
... how can i contact you....maybe what'sapp
I really needed this I think about dropping out all the time bc it takes me forever to understand
W3Schools got your back
@@theanonymoustechie overstack>>>
I have this issue as well. I feel like I don't learn fast enough. I feel like this information doesn't stick with me long term.
@@user-qy6tu9ip9v how long you've been sturdying this?
@@kelvinbethrand8914 about a year.
great video as always. thanks for your take.
This is a great video! More confirmation this is what I want to get into. :)
Definitely earned a sub, you're going to make me want to stray away from EE 😅
This is the one. I’m am so tired of working through COVID on the front lines. Literally hospitals had us reusing our PPE while they banked on us front liners exposed to COVID. Pizza parties and are pretty cheap compared to stopping 401k benefits for 6 months. Just got accepted back into university and will start my computer science track!
I FINALLY decided to advance my skillset in development because of forever searching for 3rd party solutions to solve problems for my clients. I am ready to create my own solutions. And the discovery of learning a new skill and realizing that so many opportunities are going to be available for me is so motivating. Let's goooo. This video was just what I needed.
Awesome video, currently studying a CS degree and these are the reasons why!
However when that coffee mug touched the desk with no coaster my brain melted slightly 😂
haha I'm weak I def should have a coaster tho
I'm currently working on my BS in computer science for software engineering. This video just inspires me to keep going💯
where do i start.... i just owned my first laptop
Same here. Into my second term now. How has it been going for you?
I sincerely appreciate your work on this channel dude. In the next time I would you talk about the bachelor degree. And degree master #SE Daily
You know... I'm studying the first year of a profesional grade of Software Development and I have been feeling overwhelmed recently, questioning if I could ever aspire to migrate to any other country to work or if I could even learn to programming, maybe you don't realice (or maybe yes) what you can do with this type of videos but you really fixed my insecurity with this one. Thanks, for real.
thank you what a fun video and very informative ! Love the shirt
Glad you liked it and thank you!
hey, I'm a college student majoring in software engineering. I caught the last part of your video where you said the only thing you would change is do more side projects. Could you go a little more in detail about that: what kinds of projects, what do you think they could have done for you, etc.
Side projects are things that interests you. For example I built an app that tunnels WhatsApp into Wikipedia and Wolframalpha so I can search or query them with WhatsApp messages and get results there.
Easiest way to think up side projects is automate something, or fix something you wanted fixed or something you find fun.
@@phenomenonone6024 thank you!
@@phenomenonone6024 As a somewhat intermediate software engineer, it depends on your skill level "xor" intrests. It also depends what expertise you are trying to gain for future employment. I would suggest having maybe a android app with a solid backend an db service, If you want a challange maybe build a db sql server. When i was looking for work i had built 2-3 projects, one of which that alot of companies found intresting and is the reason for my employment was a project i built to visualize, analyze diffrent algorithms.
Currently on my journey towards being a software engineer also bro!
first video of you. i appreciate you and what you had to say. well deserved sub.
Wow I think I’m sold. I’ve been watching so many videos on this topic. I am having thoughts of going into a different career direction. I studied poli sci/comm. in college and I am currently a teaching assistant for a charter school. Either way I think this career path would fit the life style I want attain.
You inspire me man🤩🤩🤩🤩
It’s been my dream to be one

Glad to be an inspiration homie I believe in you!
WHY I’M STUDYING TO BECOME A SOFTWARE ENGINEER 📚💯🔥
You got this bro
@aa bbb I never had to get a degree, only boot camp. Landed a job 1 week later.
@@OneSvT how was boot camp? Was it difficult and how long did it take?
@@waterfalls8528 full-time is 3 months, and part time is 6 months.
It wasn't too difficult given how well you study and apply yourself, but the material I caught onto pretty quick since I was studying a few months prior.
Boot camp graduates can make anywhere between 45k to 90k from what I've seen. But in my area I got started at 82k.
@@OneSvT what if i have a degree but different field such as mechanical engineering, and i join a bootcamp and work as software engineer . do i get paid with degree level eventhough my degree is not computeri science or IT
Ty for this video, it’s very useful. Nice CDG tshirt 😊
Appreciate it had to do it for the culture
Thanks for this video man!
I started programming when i was 9 years old
now im 13 and i love it
It's you again...
Would you say the same for all adjacent roles? How about the Product/Project managers? Architects? I'm trying to determine if I should actually code, or gather experience as a PM since I am more of an extrovert (and have a business background too).
Thanks man this helped a lot in me choosing my career
I really needed this... Thank you
With where the future is heading towards I think this is going to be my career
Great reasons, flexibility is huge.
Inspired man. Want to create beautiful things for people to use. Can’t wait.
your voice + new information + background music selection + slightly unfocused background ambiance = new subscriber
Great Video! Also, I know you probably know already but the title has a typo. BUT AGAIN, great video!
edit: You fixed it but now you know how early I was ☺.
Thanks so much and I appreciate the support!
Life looks hard (or not).
Good evening,

I'm so excited to start school! Thank you!
I agree with having to do more side projects or even internships. BTW i have an AS in Computer Networking and pursing a BA in Computer Science and in NY as well, dope desk setup
The more I watch your videos, the more I'm inspired to become a Software Engineer
Okay camera-work and editing!
Ayyee appreciate it!
Wow ur gorgeous
Thanks a lot man. This video really inspired me 😉🙏
Get back on the horse, man, you can do it. You know you can
Im so glad i discovered you brother!
Great Content
I'm going to work remote only as a programmer. I want to work whenever or wherever I want to.
Awesome video. I’m only half way through. You’re a smart guy.
After watching your video on the truth about being a software engineer it kinda made me think long and hard about becoming one. (I'm a sophomore in high school ) I’ve been doing a lot of research to determine what career I want to get into post-college, as you referenced to your dad urging you into a STEM-based job my uncle has been doing the same for me. I'd say this is in my top 3 because of the job opportunity and creative factors. It was refreshing to see a black persons outlook on being apart of the tech world. This video and “Harsh Reality of Being a Software Engineer” have really helped me. I'm subscribing to see what else you come up with. I appreciate your well explanation of everything. Thank you.
