      @@brunos_moraes I'm not sure if you meant to ask this question to Stefan, but since you used my name I'll go ahead and answer it - Although I think this answer would be best given by Stefan -
      Personally I enjoy watching tutorials, and I do so all the time. I think they're great for getting ideas and inspiration, and I think it only counts as tutorial hell if you depend on them to create and you can't make anything without a tutorial.
      TLDR:
      I think that If you know your fundamentals, and since you don't follow the tutorial to a tee, and you don't NEED tutorials; then you are not in tutorial hell.

    When I started my programming journey I got straight into making own projects. I created a couple of simple websites, simple game, some animations, forms just anything I found attractive for that time. Some of solutions were c&p from the internet that I didn't understand thoroughly, but everything worked. I actually got trapped in the tutorial purgatory when I found a job. Then instead of making my own projects after work I was only watching tutorials and reading books how to write better code and instead of making projects I was a victim of never-ending perfectionism and willingness to understand more and do staff in better way, actually without doing staff at all. Until i realized the existence of something called tutorials trap. Conclusion: tutorial trap / purgatory / hell has many faces and can happen to anyone even 'PROs' xD

      What a boring lifestyle must that be to have nothing better to do than to watch programming tutorials. I mean, why would you work the whole month just to work some more for free? What happened in your life that you think it's normal? Has someone hurt you? You do this shit to keep your finances at a proper level and nothing more. Not to fund someone's company and satisfy your "passionate drive". Ever thought being passionate about work is something that perfectly fits corporate world? You are passionate, so you're going to spend more time for us. Great! In reality it's not interesting beyond money, AT ALL, unless you believe those lies. All those book authors, tutorial creators actually get paid for creation. You don't get paid for reading that. And you don't need to be extremely smart to understand it's out there for the sake of sales funnels, not your benefits.

    Hearing "the best developers in the world may know 3-5% of the tech stacks that are out there" is hugely encouraging. I have a background in Python, mostly numerical analysis and data science, but I'm working an IT position in a very small department (5 people) where none of us have a lot of web app experience. Our existing applications are WordPress, and our network engineer handles that site, but I'm the only one with previous programming experience. I've been spending my (very rare) free time building a Laravel application. I'm learning a lot as I go, but being thrown into full-stack development head first can be a challenge!

    How to get from tutorial hell when companies expect a front-end dev to know Multiple frameworks like React + Angular and then Deep experience in Typescript.
    Work experience in .NET / PHP or Java. There is no norm in IT world. Companies can write whatsoever they want.
    The key is to avoid such companies and concentrate on your fav. stack and show some portfolio projects and then there will be a point in your life comes and you realize that all companies are doing the same shit.They are greedy as hell,want you to perform at multiple levels and will not care when something like Corona crisis comes.

      Don't code for greedy companies if you want want to code for more humane people. Also, coding requires little to no knowledge of certain technologies. It's more about thinking in a way that will make things more optimal? Open documentation and you know, it's not an exam, nobody will tell you to close it. Got it now? And it truly sucks because you have nightmares and can virtually think about it all the time. Can't solve this super unique problem for your company? Say good bye to your salary. It's not just about being late at work. Now it's about figuring out things that sometimes seem impossible to solve.

    I know people who are making tutorials just by reading a tutorial and there is zero code of them in production.
    Also, one thing I was thinking more and more about is: We are teaching people to code but not how to think about code.
    What I mean by that is that if I'm a Doctor I don't follow a recipe I think about the problem and come up with a solution.
    What we are doing in software development is we are teaching people how to follow a recipe but they are lost if they can not follow that recipe 100%.
    This hit me the hardest when someone on IG wrote to me that he learned to react and asked me what he should do next. So I asked him what do you mean by you learned to react? Do you have any websites etc to show?

    I'm building my first MERN stack app that I actually plan on using everyday. It'll be scalable and I already have the first 4 main features planned out. I'll also be starting my first react Native app soon. I'm hoping these two projects will help me get a remote job. With this coronavirus pandemic making people work from home, I need a job within the next few months.

    Very good discussion. Yes instead of investing lots of time on tutorials, one should learn the fundamentals and then start creating projects. On the way, he will learn more. So the best way to follow these 3 principles:
    1. Imitate
    2. Assimilate
    3. Innovate
    Invest a good amount of time to imitate the fundamentals or basic projects. For example, if you are a beginner and want to create a register/login feature just imitate the master.
    Then during the 2nd phase of assimilating, try to understand more by doing something you never did before. On the way, you will learn from google, StackOverflow and some other sources.
    And during the 2nd phase and doing something new, you will innovate overtime at the 3rd phase. And finally, remember the following quote from Richard Branson: “You don’t learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing, and by falling over.”

    Thanks for this Video! A few months ago I stuck in Tutorial hell and I was overwhelmed by all these different technologies. But then I realized that these Tutorials should only be an inspiration to do my own stuff. I personally think Tutorials should only give a crude view about what the technology is like and inspire you to explore it yourself.

    I agree so much. I tried going from zero programming experience to doing project based tutorials, and largely I ended up feeling discouraged. Then I quit my job and started a university course in game technology and simulation, where I spent a hell of a lot of time learning the fundamentals with C++, and also game dev with Unreal Engine. I've worked tirelessly on personal projects between school years, and put together a portfolio of some school assignments and my personal projects. After a while of sending out applications for a summer job, I was contacted by the CTO of a company that develops VR applications. This was solely because of my portfolio of projects. I was asked to do a developer test, in Unity and C#, which I have never touched. My strategy was to not do any tutorials, but to try to see how far I can get just testing things out based on my prior experience, and using the documentation. I was able to develop a relatively advanced project and turn it in in 4 days. And the point here is confirming what Stefan is saying:
    We spent the first six months learning the fundamentals of C++, building projects with our own logic. No project based tutorials. (Creating your own solutions to your own problems is the most satisfying thing in the world).
    I was able to quickly learn and develop with Unity because I know the fundamentals of Unreal Engine and of game programming in general.
    I was able to jump straight into using C# without doing any tutorials, because I know the fundamentals of programming, and I can google myself to solutions on a need-to-know basis.
    So the developer test turned into a paid freelance gig and now I'm getting a contract for the summer, and hopefully a steady job after graduation. I was able to go from close-to-no programming knowledge to getting paid work in a little over 1,5 years, working with game technology. I know game development is a very different beast than web development, but I hope this is encouraging to someone.
    I just want to stress the importance of developing independent problem solving skills as early as possible, and for me that means working hard on your own projects that have some personal meaning to you.

    hi Stefan
    I know the basics but i can't go to work because I have hurt my knee, and I can't seat on a chair for a long time. It will take me a few more month to recover.
    Up to now have accomplished courses:
    MITx - 6.00.1x Introduction to Computer Science and Programming Using Python
    HarvardX - CS50W CS50's Web Programming with Python and JavaScript
    LinuxFoundationX - LFS101x Introduction to Linux
    Which course would you suggest to take next?

    You sure about this? I started a tutorial (w3schools) It gives me some basics wich I consider verry important in the way of seeing stuff. I think it helps a lot. Is like first grade. Doing one tutorial might take some time but I feel like it pays of. Before writting code is important to understand some basics some..concepts..some ABC. Sure, i can just jump in and get the picture but a tutorial burns some stuff in your brain that will help u in the learning to code proces.

    Tutorial Hell is not a bad thing, in fact, it is a good thing. I think more of a problem is people rushing wanting a "job" in few months. It doesn't work like that and takes times.
    Coding is not easy and take strong discipline, dedication and thousands of hours of coding. Tutorial hell will help you build your understanding on the industry and help you a lot as a reference when you get stuck. Even through when you take tutorial is better to take it slow and document it properly each step so you can go back when you need it in the future. Take good notes, write article on your blog on the topic etc. You have to be aware that you will never stop learning or get out of the tutorial hell is part of the industry and you have to simply limit it. Don't study more than 4 hours a day and work on your own project rest of the time. Even through when you get stuck, I go take a tutorial and learn a lot then I can progress. As well if you take tutorial try that is under 10 hours, big tutorials you see in udemy with 40+ hours are not good because you repeat a LOT in them and you will forget most of it. As well don't take multiple courses on same topic instead move to the Docs once you are done. If you going to build a complex app like Ecommerce take a course and build from it don't start from scratch or you will be in pain. A Great tutorial on ecommerce using your stack will be a Very valuable tool kit to have available.

    • @mr.mikaeel6264
      @mr.mikaeel6264 4 года назад

      For me im very wary and experience "what comes fast goes away fast" all the time, but if what he says your fundamentals are solid you can take a bit of this approach. Projects come and go fast. You pick up new knowledge and after a project is finished its done move on. I think this advice of him is solid. Its the meta nowadays and with good fundamentals you can afford it because the adaptation proces will be easy but i do think it's good to stay in "tutorial hell" for some time until you feel you got the fundamentals down. This first endevour you dont want to rush and thats were alot of ppl go wrong and end up being stuck as dabblers because they rush in initialy, get to the first learning curve, stop and move on to something else. They end up learning nothing at all.

    • @r3n736
      @r3n736 4 года назад

      ​@@mr.mikaeel6264 Another thing I don't advice is doing small projects, better to do medium to big size projects that take you 4 months to a year to complete. Once you done you will be ready for anything and learn a LOT. Fundamentals are important but I don't agree with Stefan in that I think you have to focus on a Stack and stay on it.
      Choose a Backend Framework and Frontend and a CSS framework and stick with them. Currently, I only use Laravel + Vuejs + Tailwind and don't work with anything else.
      I did try Django, Node.js Ruby on Rails and even Symphony yet for me none suits me more than Laravel. I did learn React yet with Vue.js is a lot more Faster and I like that the HTML and Javascript are separated. Even through in future when I have become very proficient with vue.js would like to start to learn and use React as well.
      As well learn Node.js and distance future "May learn" Golang or C# ASP.net but nothing else. Even though currently I don't have time to deal with anything else. Vue.js and front end can be quite complex when you want to duplicate things you see on big sites that you would like to clone. As well Web development is about building Resources if you constantly keep switching frameworks or language you will have a Hard time reusing past code, this is why better to focus on a single stack.

  • @blackspitit
    @blackspitit 2 года назад

    Hi Stefan, your content is amazing. Can you talk about what is more convenient web development with a CMS such us Wordpress, Joomla or using a framework? Some people work just with a CMS and don't need to know programming, HTML, CSS, etc. As the language I like is python I may for a python CMS instead a framework like Django or Flask. I ask this because with Wordpress for example it is difficult to find something that hasn't been developed already to use as a plug-in for the web site. Will this give me a disadvantage as a flask developer having to do everything from scratch?

  • @davidh7300

    I cannot find good tutorials that use the MVC pattern without a framework that actually implements it. I think someone could make a lot of money teaching how to make a e-commerce site fully secure (as possible) using the MVC pattern, basic HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and python/php with no frameworks.
    Please let me know if you got one or what is the best tutorial system wise. Thanx.

    "I'd rather hire a Java developer with 5 years of experience building Java code and no experience in Python to do a Python coding job, than a Jr Python developer with 5 python tutorials under their belt."
    This really put things into perspective. Especially after you'd said that knowing one fundamental coding language well will make every other language easy, since the basic coding concepts are all the same.
    I've heard other people recommend sticking to one programming language while you're starting out, and now I see why. If you get good enough at that one language, you'll be able to adapt much easier to any others.
    I'm learning Java and I have a friend pressuring me to learn Python. Think I'll just stick with Java, for now, instead of jumping around languages, confusing myself, and doing myself no favors.
    It was perfect timing for me to see this, as I've been really overwhelmed in tutorial hell.
    Thanks for the perspective!

    There is a problem the guys who want to be a developers and still lacking base knowledge go in treating it like a lottery because that's is the only way to justify working for someone else doing what others tell you to do. When you learn enough and you will be able to deploy entire apps with back front storage services and etc and design your own simple architecture that JOB will not look so enticing as you will be able execute on your own ideas. Now the only reason you will go for a JOB is that you need to eat but you will not be so willing to spend your days there and of course you will be hired because now you are qualified and can earn your salary earn for the office upkeep earn for the extra things they call perks and plus some profit margin for the boss while being good little developer... and also if needed sacrificing your spare time because company believe that you believe in their mission solving worlds hunger problems aka profit for the boss...
