I’m a self-taught programmer. I can say I already passed beginner’s phase. What I learned to accept is; being a programmer you must know how to know. You don’t need to memorize syntax but rather understand the concepts. Programming is 80% problem solving and 20% coding. I’ve been programming for years and still forgets how to centre a div. We must continue to learn everyday. We’ll always be a beginner. 😆
I been working on studying since Christmas 2023. From what I knew and what I was able to solve back then is completely different from what I know now. I almost put 4+hrs every weekday and some on the weekend. I’m slowly understanding it and hopefully I’m able to create my first web app on my own eventually for that resume portfolio 🙏. This video just motivated me even more
coding alone is already very hard, is it really possible for a human to master both? not talking about decades of learning i mean for a reasonable amount of time
@@yosef_ii what is reasonable amount of time? I am a senior ui designer and started learning occasional javascript since last year. Within the next two years I will be beginner to intermediate in front end development so I would be able to design and develop apps
@@uialexk that's very impressive! I wish i can do that too, i started programming a while ago and I'm going well, but i always feel like design is harder and mastering them both is gonna be very difficult (I kinda exaggerated with my first comment about being impossible)
@@yosef_ii it's always a challenge to learn both, some are more talented in coding than design. For me it's the opposite. I'm more confident with mastering design and I find it more challenging with learning and applying coding logic to build apps (html, CSS I learned advanced but that's exactly not programming). If you enjoy both coding and design it's definitely worth it to explore both topics, learn and build apps! It's challenging and it will definitely take a few years but after you attain these skills, you will be one of the few skillful workers in the market, you will be valuable for start ups, scale ups and as an indiehacker
@@yosef_iiyou are not alone, there is a difference in being on some sort of post and actually giving time to projects for different things, I am the type of guy who will do as many type of projects as possible which is the best and the fastest way to learn
the key to becoming a good programmer and web designer is to have meaningful projects that you work on. you can spend all the time in the world and learning languages, but it doesn't matter if you're not moving the dial for a meaningful project.
Yo, I don't usually comment, but I had to. I've been so frustrated trying to learn to code for a front-end job. Your video totally chilled me out and got me pumped again. Thanks, man, and good luck with everything!
Honestly I feel like the hardest part with projects is just coming up with fresh ideas. I have been coding for two years and I want to start working on a project that is unique and I can proudly call my own. The problem is that there are just so many developers that the likelihood of coming up with something original is near zero, even if it's in a niche interest. Even when I find that idea, it often feels way too ambitious or large-scope for me to consider doing at my skill level. Maybe I should think more like an artist instead. Like, it's cool if you want to make an OC, but in order to do that, you need to learn how to draw a face (maybe thousands of faces). Maybe I'll have to copy someone else's idea, or put a creative spin on it, or watch someone else, or contribute to someone else. Perhaps I should just focus on building on what's already out there, and on the way I might find that special idea.
I recommend you to find some hobbie that is not related to code, you will get so many ideas! Or even if you are trying to code something and you find an inconvenience, you can build something for that, for example, generating the HTMl report for code coverage with LCOV in Windows was hard for me, I ended up using my WSL and everytime I rerun the coverage report I have to convert all the \ to /, I would love a CLI app for windows or VSCode extension that helps me with that, maybe someday I can build it, or maybe you can ;) what I want to say is that you will find little problems in your journey, and you can build something to fix them and even convert it to a package, library or CLI app, it does not have to be a complete full-stack app :)
I got some ideas from the university (I'm a computer science student and an on-trainee developer). At first glance, any task can and will look too hard, which is quite normal. Many people give up on this task because they think it's beyond them. The solution is decomposition, or in other words, to divide a large and voluminous task into many small ones. You can start with the easiest thing you can do. And then, to solve one harder task after another, while discovering tons of new knowledge and materials. Before you know it, you've already done half of it. I believe this is the key
The one thing most people forget is to make a roadmap for almost everything. It may seem a bit rather peculiar at the start to make roadmaps for small things but as time goes, things get messy and this habit helps a little bit in every field that requires brains.
This video summed up my 3 year learning curve of coding and web devolpment, I was stuck at tutorial hell for almost a year (with giving up and retrying), then I tried learning everything "by the book" how every syntax works, but just this last year is when I realized, I just have to make whatever is needed and then move slowly but surely, wish I had seen this video 3 years ago, but at least I gained a lot of experience and am either way happy now, thanks for this great Video!
This is, by far, the best coding-related advice I've ever heard on this platform straight forward no bs all the necessary information i need to start bravo 👏
Man, watched this video while procrastinating on working on a little project of mine and it was the only time procrastinating was worth it. This really helped snap myself back to reality and reminded me why I began programming in the first place. Thank you :)
Thanks for the motivation and reality check. I'm on the path to becoming a Data Analyst, and I almost gave up considering how much effort and time I've spent. But yeah, nothing can be built in just one day, especially when it comes to building a foundation of knowledge. 🔥🔥 Your vid helped me a lot mentally.
this is an amazing video!!! I personally learn a lot from courses/videos, it's just important to actually try the technologies after doing a follow-along type course. I really humble myself on how much I actually learned very quickly, then on the next course I watch I go in with a lot of questions from my previous projects and I will learn way more. Learning -> doing -> failing -> repeat is my way of learning.
This content is exactly what I need right now to keep me going. I just feel overwhelmed and frustrated while I am building my portfolio fullstack project. It's been 3 years since I started searching 'What is programming?' and quit many times. Until now I'm still struggling to be employed as a developer.
From a young age I've wanted to create games. I'd say from the age of maybe six, I'd draw UIs for games in my notebook with things like buttons and just different widgets with texts like: "drift" and pictures of bullets or something. So, I tried coding for the first time, I'm now like 14, with Pascal and I FELT OMNIPOTENT simply from a program that could subtract two numbers. I felt like I had a superpower or something and I went on to create a console app that could draw a makeshift table for a balance sheet we learned in class. Now am 17 and am working on my chemistry toolkit in flutter(balancing, stoichiometry, molar mass and so on). I guess I was just lucky cause I had, and still have, a passion for it. All in all it depends on how interested you are and how much you're willing to put in cause we all struggle like I legit think I've seen as many errors as they are hairs on my head.
I also had that passion for game development and I learnt it. Been working on my own projects from age 14 to 17. At the end of the day it was not even about games but about being in control of my finances and having some kind of way to grow my influence and because game dev is very difficult industry i switched to building businesses and last month I made over 34k USD profit from smma and my immigration agency combined. I agree with you, it all depends on your interest level, but trust me when I say this, all of this coding is by far more difficult than running your own business. It's only good for developing mental resilience and problem solving skills. Not so much for making money.
I’m 20 years old, about to turn 21 in 3 months. I need to start coding now. I’ve been procrastinating since summer of 2023. Since then I’ve learned about some of the mental shifts I needed to do. I removed and deleted many distractions out of my life that were inhibiting me. Now to work towards my programming career. 💪
Hi, It's been a while I am learning to code, I am currently completely free and decided to give my entire time on this. Now a days, everyday I spend 6-8hours doing different things from buiding project with html,css,js to learning react,tailwind. I am not yet the stage where I can code on my own and starts thinking logic but I think by spending most of time here I am slowly getting there. My goal is to put myself in a decent position in 6-12 months where I can write and build codes on my own and start making some money maybe
This helps motivate me so much. I just realized that I've been thinking rather unrealistically, since I've always seen people achieve something so quickly and it stressed me out sometimes that I couldn't be like them. I should go easier on myself. Thank you:3
As a Self-taught programmer you're telling the truth ❤, fin fact, though we forget a lot of simple and random things. 😂😂😂 My advice to beginners is that just understand and know the syntax and keep practicing and pushing. God is with us all. Ameen
Just found this at 4 am kinda demotivated after spending 6 hours on trying to make a simple web application for personal use and to share with friends of a 3D printing calculator with React, which I just started learning a week ago and damn that felt so overwhelming and didn't even finished it. This video really brought me back motivation to continue with my learning and hopefully I'll be able to finish this little project soon enough. Thank you very much!🎉
Thanks a lot. Experienced something similar a few hours ago. Coded everything, was happy with it and then came Zod and react hook form to make me feel like a failure. But we live to fight another day
Things you said in this video are so true and actually what I have been through as well. Sometimes I lose my motivation and getting it back is not always easy. There were times I thought it is not happening, I know nothing and everybody else is so good except me. Still learning and trying my best to get a better developer. You literally read my mind in this video I think they are my answers :D Also I loved the flow of the video, good job! Keep making more videos!
I still remember the days when I had to build a game using this IDE called Greenfoot using Java and built around the concept of this Xbox 360 demo game I played called Feeding Frenzy. I'm still so happy that I have the game that I built to this day when I was 14.
Heres some tips through my 2 years experience so far, first of all i learned some php juat to get the fundamentals how to communicate with database, my first project i was fouced on backend so front end i used a template, to mosify that temllate you nees to learn a bit of css, and make it Dynamic i used jquerry, to that point i was able to maintain those 3 languages a bit to serve certain problems, then i i jumped to use laravel which give ya better handling on backend for web and api mangment it was easy to understand simce i was using php as a start and laravel is php framework, the last 4 months i started react it was a bit confusing but i managed to learn it buy solving its errors and practice, now i made desktop app using electron js and react with mui library with laravel api, and web app using laravel web routine, what i wanted to say try to learn a bit of the language then u can jump to framwork and i suggest react w ith laravel can do magic stuff and powerful collaboration
THis is one of my favourite RUclipsrs who make coding easier than it actually is. He breaks it down to the simplest forms for any person to understand it
In programming, there is also something like art block. But programming block is about something else. It is not lack of inspiration - it is overwhelm, it is pressure, it is anxiety.
Consistence is always going to be key! Coding is something that requires a lot of time and practice and consistence is the thing that will get you through good and bad days.
That's my reality, for 3 years. I've always circle back to tutorial hell, burn out, tutorial hell burn out. Always search online, try copy pasting, chagpt, copy pasting. But right now, I'm trying to do website myself. First, I build a static website. MAN, the lag of that thing is so much. But today, I'm doing it again, fix those issue that I already encounter, even it takes a week, having a good mindset is the number 1 that will help you. Just Try and Try!!
Got into an organization in 2022, upskilled and managed a learnership with a company in 2023 and I am currently completing an intership with that company. Through all of this my ability to problem solve carried me way more than my ability to code 🎉 hopefully it's a job in 2025 😂
Bro, you just did exactly what you promised me for past videos. Thanks for the video. This video pulled me back on track. Recently I have stopped programming 😅 Do you know why I stopped?? Because of react and other beautifully Crafted websites and animations 🥺. And, I don't have a computer. I was started to learn since 2019 on and android. Since then, I have bought just a new android because the old phone was running on android 7 or maybe 8 😅. Still I have a phone to code on it. Pray for me brother so that my father can buy me a computer 😅. Your video just slapped me in a nice way and put me back on web development 😅❤ Thanks again brother for this video. If I can find you in real life.. I will hug you tight Fr. 😅 Love you bro. Keep making these lind of realistic videos. ❤❤ Love and support from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Literally just started learning HTML a couple hours ago and this came up in my feed. Glad it did. I will not allow myself to get caught in tutorial hell!
Really enjoyed the video and im inspired to say this i dont comment a lot on videos especially when i dont feel led Dont watch too many of these youtube videos when you want to start just start that stuff is hard and staying consistent is even harder because there will be a lot of discouragements and doubts begin to creep and may take over if you let it look for encouragements from Jesus and Gods word let God guide you daily and know you have to do those uncomfortable stuff dont try to run away face it own it if you are afraid own it face it tell it to the Lord and somebody that you are afraid and let that encourage you to keep going but you will make it dont give up you will mentor others and do great things that no one has ever done. God bless you
OMG I love your content I can pick up concepts super fast BUT I struggle with the syntax I felt I like I should know what to type. Though I understand what I need to do this video is what i needed to know I'm on the correct track
Slowly getting back into developing websites. Rn just taking an hour a day to learn javascript and do some things in html and css as well for about 2 weeks so far. Don't want to overwhelm or burn myself out at this moment in time
Awesome video like always you always tackle and teach these incredible things that I personally don't see anyone talking about. But I really wanted you to dive into more details at the end of the video. after it is what the video title is about. Everyone talks about how you should find something you're passionate about or a solution to a problem. But man it's just not that easy I don't believe that there's some problem that can be fixed by a basic entry level web dev project. And the reality is that all websites depend on their content, not their functionality. and as a developer I make the functionality not the content Something like RUclips isn't that complex but it's a big deal because the content it has Also all websites are the same man It's all social media It's all sites Sharing files Hosting file Articles Basic web apps that have been built 100 times before like clock and calculator. I feel like the only thing you can actually add to a website is CSS and even CSS that's more of an animation and art thing And hey I'm into art, hand draw and have really a good foundation there but it's the more reason why I just can't make any sense out WRITING a look or art it makes no sense whatsoever and feels extremely limiting The web and the technology behind it is kinda limited compared to something like C and stuff and it feels like every single idea that's worth doing is already done I recently started making a clock app copying Google clock Android app completely on my own only using Google search, MDN documentation and stack overflow and it took me 15 to 20 hours to write 50 lines of code and 100 deleted ones to have a working days: hours: minutes: seconds timer and some one I know thinks that's a waste of time because I could just ask chatgpt to do it in seconds and then read the code, understand, and learn it line by line and move on But I feel like I'm learning the process of programming itself and solving every problem that comes up and I believe that process will be the same with all the projects that AI can't write now and honestly he can't write serious stuff that much Anyway what do you think am I really wasting my time here or not I really value your opinion here but either way writing code this way feels much more fun, fulfilling, and engaging Lastly correct me if I'm wrong but I feel this video is actually: The reality check of web development and learning it not what the title said Also can you please talk about when is it actually enough to start applying for jobs I myself know HTML, CSS, JS, nodejs, expressjs, npm, mongoDB, lite SQL I was following Angela Yu course And I did all the projects there so that's all I have on my portfolio if I do one Unfortunately I stopped the end mongoDB chapter because the course was really outdated and every step she do would extremely different syntax and code so I stopped the course and I believe it's still outdated as of 2024 I feel I just need to react to start applying for jobs but I always feel like oh just let me go back to JavaScript and all my skills there a little more and then I stay there for who knows how much and I feel like many people do the same Thanks if you reach it anyway?!
@@CoderSubro thanks for the suggestion maybe I'll do one day I always write but honestly don't know where to start a real job or career and I don't know what writers learn or study to improve I honestly didn't feel like sharing my writing just to avoid you know... internet drama, pointless arguments and all that bullshit
I don't have answers to your specific questions bro. But man, it will be very hard to forget this comment. I guess we all are on our journey and need to fail/mess up a lot of times to eventually get somewhere. This career is not easy.
I think a lot of new developers are missing out on what it takes to build something and especially on their own starting out. The path I see for a new developers is as simple as this: Find a simple problem > sketch out a design to solve the problem > find the tools and resources to solve that problem as you build it out. Coming from engineering frameworks like requirements and specifications gathering, design, build and maintain a product was drilled into me. So when it came to learning to code, I just transferred those principles over to software problems.
Bro i tried to build a website and the same thing happened with me and i also thought webdev is not for me and i left but after watching ur video i realised thats struggle every one faces . Now i will restart again ❤🎉
can’t relate. undergrad (former premed/useless stem major) -> mba (business management), self-taught myself the Swift language for free, built a mobile app for the startup I started in college and landed a virtual ios developer job as I finished my mba.

After 3 years of self-taught experience, I’ve found coding to be the easy part. The difficult part is managing complexity.
If other peoples can improve within a time of 3 years . Then I guess I can manage to get better too
tried tutorials for literal years, joined a bootcamp. gave up, now I'm a product manager. lol
your profile pic made this comment even better.
😂😂
Do you annoy the devs by demanding estimates and then attacking them when they bring up said estimates?
Lool
How did you get into product management without coding experience? Or do you have experience?
Ah well if you truly loved what you did, you might not be a product manager.. don't take my words otherwise that's just my point of view
If you can code without getting crazy you are a computer made with cpu and memory of a super computer data center.

Now am 17 and am working on my chemistry toolkit in flutter(balancing, stoichiometry, molar mass and so on). I guess I was just lucky cause I had, and still have, a passion for it. All in all it depends on how interested you are and how much you're willing to put in cause we all struggle like I legit think I've seen as many errors as they are hairs on my head.
You will go far my friend.
@@whosajid appreciate it
"As many errors as hairs on my head"
Goddamn that's a creative line. I'll be taking that.
I also had that passion for game development and I learnt it. Been working on my own projects from age 14 to 17. At the end of the day it was not even about games but about being in control of my finances and having some kind of way to grow my influence and because game dev is very difficult industry i switched to building businesses and last month I made over 34k USD profit from smma and my immigration agency combined.
I agree with you, it all depends on your interest level, but trust me when I say this, all of this coding is by far more difficult than running your own business. It's only good for developing mental resilience and problem solving skills. Not so much for making money.
I am a 14yo kid too rn. I have passion for web development and I will become better at it Inshallah.
I’m 20 years old, about to turn 21 in 3 months. I need to start coding now. I’ve been procrastinating since summer of 2023. Since then I’ve learned about some of the mental shifts I needed to do. I removed and deleted many distractions out of my life that were inhibiting me. Now to work towards my programming career. 💪
Same bro I'm also 20.started now
I'm 18 and trying to find work for a living while also just starting programming after 3 years of half assed projects in school. 💪🏿🔥
Same here
Same here good luck bro
I am 14 lol
Hi, It's been a while I am learning to code, I am currently completely free and decided to give my entire time on this. Now a days, everyday I spend 6-8hours doing different things from buiding project with html,css,js to learning react,tailwind.
I am not yet the stage where I can code on my own and starts thinking logic but I think by spending most of time here I am slowly getting there.
My goal is to put myself in a decent position in 6-12 months where I can write and build codes on my own and start making some money maybe
Sounds like you are on the right track.
This video is better than all RUclips video related code , best for exact direction and discipline.. thanks a lot ❤
I've been on burnout for soo long.. I thought maybe this was not for me.
But not anymore. This is just what i needed
This helps motivate me so much. I just realized that I've been thinking rather unrealistically, since I've always seen people achieve something so quickly and it stressed me out sometimes that I couldn't be like them. I should go easier on myself. Thank you:3
Right, I should give myself discipline and time.
Man, for me you're that caring and genius senior at uni that i don't have.
As a Self-taught programmer you're telling the truth ❤, fin fact, though we forget a lot of simple and random things. 😂😂😂 My advice to beginners is that just understand and know the syntax and keep practicing and pushing. God is with us all. Ameen
Thanks Sajid!!!!
Especially, your website! It's a gold mine.
Just found this at 4 am kinda demotivated after spending 6 hours on trying to make a simple web application for personal use and to share with friends of a 3D printing calculator with React, which I just started learning a week ago and damn that felt so overwhelming and didn't even finished it. This video really brought me back motivation to continue with my learning and hopefully I'll be able to finish this little project soon enough. Thank you very much!🎉
Thanks a lot. Experienced something similar a few hours ago. Coded everything, was happy with it and then came Zod and react hook form to make me feel like a failure. But we live to fight another day
Watching this as a soc analyst and i can say all what youve said is very applicable in other aspects of CS
Things you said in this video are so true and actually what I have been through as well. Sometimes I lose my motivation and getting it back is not always easy. There were times I thought it is not happening, I know nothing and everybody else is so good except me. Still learning and trying my best to get a better developer. You literally read my mind in this video I think they are my answers :D Also I loved the flow of the video, good job! Keep making more videos!
As someone who wants to earn code and make websites. This video is really helpful
I still remember the days when I had to build a game using this IDE called Greenfoot using Java and built around the concept of this Xbox 360 demo game I played called Feeding Frenzy. I'm still so happy that I have the game that I built to this day when I was 14.
This was a really great guide, Thanks!!!
You are so kind bro, Thanks!!!
Loved this one! No fitler absolute honesty.
Heres some tips through my 2 years experience so far, first of all i learned some php juat to get the fundamentals how to communicate with database, my first project i was fouced on backend so front end i used a template, to mosify that temllate you nees to learn a bit of css, and make it Dynamic i used jquerry, to that point i was able to maintain those 3 languages a bit to serve certain problems, then i i jumped to use laravel which give ya better handling on backend for web and api mangment it was easy to understand simce i was using php as a start and laravel is php framework, the last 4 months i started react it was a bit confusing but i managed to learn it buy solving its errors and practice, now i made desktop app using electron js and react with mui library with laravel api, and web app using laravel web routine, what i wanted to say try to learn a bit of the language then u can jump to framwork and i suggest react w ith laravel can do magic stuff and powerful collaboration
3:03 we roasting the entire parent community with this one🗣️
Thanks for admitting that coding is hard. I find that really encouraging
THis is one of my favourite RUclipsrs who make coding easier than it actually is. He breaks it down to the simplest forms for any person to understand it
In programming, there is also something like art block.
But programming block is about something else. It is not lack of inspiration - it is overwhelm, it is pressure, it is anxiety.
Consistence is always going to be key! Coding is something that requires a lot of time and practice and consistence is the thing that will get you through good and bad days.
I didn't even start seeing the video but I could sense that this is a banger with the Thumbnail.
lmao these are the type of honest and relatable videos we need on youtube
That's my reality, for 3 years. I've always circle back to tutorial hell, burn out, tutorial hell burn out. Always search online, try copy pasting, chagpt, copy pasting. But right now, I'm trying to do website myself. First, I build a static website. MAN, the lag of that thing is so much. But today, I'm doing it again, fix those issue that I already encounter, even it takes a week, having a good mindset is the number 1 that will help you. Just Try and Try!!
comparison is the thief of joy
I never comment but this video was pure gold thanks, I needed it I pray and hope you reach your own goals. Again thanks a lot 😄
Awesome vid as usual, keep it up Sajid 💪🏻
nice one, you have saved me a lot of trouble. Make more videos like this. Keep it up bro🖤
It is great to see you again, bro.😊
bro causally dropped the best programming quote 3 secondes before the video ends
web development most underrated channel 😢
Banger, great yt channel recommendations
Thanks, man.
God bless you!
I love this, thank you man!
Got into an organization in 2022, upskilled and managed a learnership with a company in 2023 and I am currently completing an intership with that company. Through all of this my ability to problem solve carried me way more than my ability to code 🎉 hopefully it's a job in 2025 😂
The first part of the video is like your telling me everything I did
I love you sir, this is my first time watching yiur video and ive subscribe 🎉🎉
This man explained in 10 minutes what i did not understand in whole day of searching
Bro, you just did exactly what you promised me for past videos.
Thanks for the video. This video pulled me back on track. Recently I have stopped programming 😅
Do you know why I stopped?? Because of react and other beautifully Crafted websites and animations 🥺. And, I don't have a computer. I was started to learn since 2019 on and android. Since then, I have bought just a new android because the old phone was running on android 7 or maybe 8 😅. Still I have a phone to code on it. Pray for me brother so that my father can buy me a computer 😅.
Your video just slapped me in a nice way and put me back on web development 😅❤
Thanks again brother for this video.
If I can find you in real life.. I will hug you tight Fr. 😅
Love you bro. Keep making these lind of realistic videos. ❤❤
Love and support from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
I hope you get a computer real soon :)
How much in us dollars costs computer in your country mate?
Thanks man!! Your video really hit me hard.
Literally just started learning HTML a couple hours ago and this came up in my feed. Glad it did. I will not allow myself to get caught in tutorial hell!
Bro trust Odin project is hacks it’s so good for independence :)
Awesome,for all Coding beginners!
Everytime I watch this video i learn something new ❤
Thank you for sharing this. Just starting the journey 🙏🏽
good luck!
@@CoolestPossibleName Thank you!!
I was about to give up , thank god this video showed up to me ❤
Really enjoyed the video and im inspired to say this i dont comment a lot on videos especially when i dont feel led Dont watch too many of these youtube videos when you want to start just start that stuff is hard and staying consistent is even harder because there will be a lot of discouragements and doubts begin to creep and may take over if you let it look for encouragements from Jesus and Gods word let God guide you daily and know you have to do those uncomfortable stuff dont try to run away face it own it if you are afraid own it face it tell it to the Lord and somebody that you are afraid and let that encourage you to keep going but you will make it dont give up you will mentor others and do great things that no one has ever done. God bless you
Thanks for the down to earth video on Software Engineering/Development 😮
6:10 - Mindset++ 😂
Very informative video Bhaiya 👍👍
OMG I love your content I can pick up concepts super fast BUT I struggle with the syntax I felt I like I should know what to type. Though I understand what I need to do this video is what i needed to know I'm on the correct track
"If you want to learn something - teach it!"
- Richard Feynman
Great video! I have learnt a great deal from this video. It is also very encouraging. Thank you so so so much!
Bro explained my life at first and thanks for the other advice!
Thank you brother needed this !
Thank you for this 🙏🙏🙏
Slowly getting back into developing websites. Rn just taking an hour a day to learn javascript and do some things in html and css as well for about 2 weeks so far. Don't want to overwhelm or burn myself out at this moment in time
This is the way.
This guy gives the hardest reality checks
Nothing of value is easy. Hits hard.
Good quality video. Now I know other people are struggling too lol. thank you so much.
Awesome video like always
you always tackle and teach these incredible things that I personally don't see anyone talking about.
But I really wanted you to dive into more details at the end of the video.
after it is what the video title is about.
Everyone talks about how you should find something you're passionate about or a solution to a problem.
But man it's just not that easy
I don't believe that there's some problem that can be fixed by a basic entry level web dev project.
And the reality is that all websites depend on their content, not their functionality.
and as a developer I make the functionality not the content
Something like RUclips isn't that complex but it's a big deal because the content it has
Also all websites are the same man
It's all social media
It's all sites
Sharing files
Hosting file
Articles
Basic web apps that have been built 100 times before like clock and calculator.
I feel like the only thing you can actually add to a website is CSS and even CSS that's more of an animation and art thing
And hey I'm into art, hand draw and have really a good foundation there but it's the more reason why I just can't make any sense out WRITING a look or art it makes no sense whatsoever and feels extremely limiting
The web and the technology behind it is kinda limited compared to something like C and stuff and it feels like every single idea that's worth doing is already done
I recently started making a clock app copying Google clock Android app completely on my own only using Google search, MDN documentation and stack overflow and it took me 15 to 20 hours to write 50 lines of code and 100 deleted ones to have a working days: hours: minutes: seconds timer and some one I know thinks that's a waste of time because I could just ask chatgpt to do it in seconds and then read the code, understand, and learn it line by line and move on
But I feel like I'm learning the process of programming itself and solving every problem that comes up and I believe that process will be the same with all the projects that AI can't write now and honestly he can't write serious stuff that much
Anyway what do you think am I really wasting my time here or not I really value your opinion here
but either way writing code this way feels much more fun, fulfilling, and engaging
Lastly correct me if I'm wrong but I feel this video is actually: The reality check of web development and learning it
not what the title said
Also can you please talk about when is it actually enough to start applying for jobs
I myself know HTML, CSS, JS, nodejs, expressjs, npm, mongoDB, lite SQL
I was following Angela Yu course And I did all the projects there so that's all I have on my portfolio if I do one
Unfortunately I stopped the end mongoDB chapter because the course was really outdated and every step she do would extremely different syntax and code so I stopped the course and I believe it's still outdated as of 2024
I feel I just need to react to start applying for jobs but I always feel like oh just let me go back to JavaScript and all my skills there a little more and then I stay there for who knows how much and I feel like many people do the same
Thanks if you reach it anyway?!
you should be a writer
@@CoderSubro you mean "you should be a writer"?
Yes
@@CoderSubro thanks for the suggestion maybe I'll do one day
I always write but honestly don't know where to start a real job or career and I don't know what writers learn or study to improve
I honestly didn't feel like sharing my writing just to avoid you know... internet drama, pointless arguments and all that bullshit
I don't have answers to your specific questions bro. But man, it will be very hard to forget this comment.
I guess we all are on our journey and need to fail/mess up a lot of times to eventually get somewhere.
This career is not easy.
This is an amazing video ❤ thank you so much. I am literally rn in this state
My response to the first two minutes… ARE YOU STALKING ME!?
Finally some video that calms my mind 😢.❤
I think a lot of new developers are missing out on what it takes to build something and especially on their own starting out.
The path I see for a new developers is as simple as this:
Find a simple problem > sketch out a design to solve the problem > find the tools and resources to solve that problem as you build it out.
Coming from engineering frameworks like requirements and specifications gathering, design, build and maintain a product was drilled into me. So when it came to learning to code, I just transferred those principles over to software problems.
Most useful video about coding
Came for tutorials, got life lessons as a bonus
2:54 this hardworking man is everywhere
Bro i tried to build a website and the same thing happened with me and i also thought webdev is not for me and i left but after watching ur video i realised thats struggle every one faces . Now i will restart again ❤🎉
💪
"Nothing of value is easy" strong words
I just woke up. What was the video about?
Heavy Fireship vibes and I dig that
Fireship is the GOAT!
can’t relate. undergrad (former premed/useless stem major) -> mba (business management), self-taught myself the Swift language for free, built a mobile app for the startup I started in college and landed a virtual ios developer job as I finished my mba.
