Was I able to clarify any misconceptions about what work as a software developer entails? Was it about what you were expecting?
thanks bro, very informative video, i always wanted to know that!
of the things you mentioned in this video, can you break down the average time spent on each?
EXAMPLE:
40 hour work week()
{
meetings = 10;
bugs = 5;
new code = 10;
customer concerns = 5;
getting paid to play = 5;
waiting on updates/compiling = 5;
}
Hi Andy! You always come up with great insightful content. I just started my career a software developer, hence I would request you to post some videos on how a software developer's mindset should be when he is hitting some kind of roadblocks on problem solving, or solutioning of code , for example I have an initial tendency to think that solutioning is not even possible(which gets me really stressed out at times) when I am presented with a really tough problem, but as I dive deep into it, I somehow manage to make ends meet. Would really like to understand from you how a software developer's mindset should be when approaching a problem! Hope you get time to read my comment ! Cheers!
Seriously, it was helpful.
lawsonott3 I am also interested :)
Sit in front of a computer and try to figure shit out before giving up in tears.
Lol
Hahaha 😂
fazeel ashraf that’s me all day
Spot on!! Lol
100% accurate.
hands down this is the best advisory channel on programming.
Thanks Ramin!
Thank you for this video. You did not beat around the bush, you got straight to the points, and you explained what a software developer does in a way that could be easily understood. Awesome!
Thank you for the video. I have watched loads of videos about software and your video is the only one I truly understand.
It's just awesome how you're good at explaining stuff and giving advice in your videos I kinda envy you! 😂
YAS THANK YOU 🙏 This is what I needed. Your explanation makes so much sense.
That's totally true! Thank you Andy, helpful as always!
Thanks for this video, I’m currently trying to decide what to do as a career and this video made me interested.
Subscribed, great video as I’m just entering the field. Thank you, very well presented 🏴
Great video Andy. Your videos always make me more motivated and excited to learn more software development
thank you Andy, great content as always!!!
Thanks Andy! Appreciate the info!!!! Outtro music is dope af!!!!
Good information.Thank you Andy. Really helpful.
Bro you said database to server side scripting to api endpoints to gui coding. I find myself moving into a software developer space without me even knowing. You just clarified that for me. I have so much to learn
Recently subscribed. You are doing a good job on RUclips.
This is the first video of you that I watch, not even 3 min in already subscribed. Thank you.
Nice! Welcome to the channel 😊
"It's fun" they said,
"Building new features is fun" they said....
i felt this
It isn't?
@@FAHIMULALAM love hurts
It's hell sometimes. Let's be honest here.
Hi Andy, great explanation! Thank you.
Thanks man, I'm busy looking at what direction I want to go in after I complete my Computer Science degree, and this was very informative.
Hey 😅 I’m interested in computer science and I have a lot of questions is there a way i can contact you please?
I'm a new C.S student, I am excited and nervous. Enjoyed your video, new subscriber!
Great video Andy, thanks
Thanks Andy great info.
As clear as you can be, thank you !
This vid is perfect for getting an idea on what a software developer is and what it can do
thank you for this man you're a legend
Dude I just wanna say that I really appreciate your videos, I got stung by the coding bee by working with programmers, like, I understood a lot of what they where saying, (I work in communications), currently I'm working with a lot of developers, and I feel like my field is just crap compared to what they are doing, of course it is an asset to communicate, but building something must be so exciting, in other words I'm working on my html, css and java at the moment, the phase is really slow when I got a full-time job and a kid. But one day!
Did you do it?
Thank you! This was so helpful! I am only in high school and was looking into software development. This video was rly helpful
Same lol
You should consider ever posting videos where you actually code something and show us how you're building stuff. That'd be great. Dunno if you already have those sort of videos somewhere.
Héctor Serrano no one in earth can post real work related code in youtube
@@sppanday_ he can just make it up
@@sppanday_ why
Thanks for this video. Was very nice look into a coding atmosphere.
Thanks again, Andy.
I watch and I watch and I watch. Here’s my subscription already!
Wooow sir 😍 you are awesome ......amazing vedio 😱💚💜💛❣️
That was very helpful. I applied to a few junior positions... waiting on the replies. Thanks for the motivation for the last few months.
Updates?
Thank you for this!
Other things I do as a developer:
*Run tests to check if anything changed when I modify the code
*Fuzz the code (I just started this)
*Run the software and tests on different OS/architecture combinations, usually just before a release.
Great video really clear as a recruiter i try to understand what does a software dev do ? Thank you
My mom asked me what I wanted to do when I grow up. I told her software engineer/developer. I have a little experience with computers but I'm still not that good. I hope when I grow up I want to get a degree in software engineering. I hope I'll make it. Just something that I mgt want to do when I get older.
I’m enjoying this video so far! You make me wagered to jump into the software development business a lot more! I do have a question though. Is it possible for me to begin my journey using an iPad Pro? My end goal is to purchase a MacBook Pro for developing and continuing photoshop but money has been a problem for me and haven’t been able to save up for one. Do you think it’s possible to have the same computing capabilities on an iPad Pro as I would on the MacBook?
Please start a series for must have algorithms for online coding platforms with animation/anything visual to understand.
I don't think there is something like that. There is too much to learn and many directions to go. And many things can only be understood once you have sufficient experience. For example there are coding patterns, but they won't be of much use to you if you don't know when to apply them and when not to. Just start to code and try to learn about such topics at some point.
For example I never have done anything with these searching algorithms. Most are already implemented in the language anyway (like C#)! I for one work more with file systems and 3D (Unity). And at this company I started with a very low knowledge about file systems, but I grew into it.
Thanks a lot . well explained
I got my foot in the door doing front end work, I had no idea what I was suppose to be doing as they didn't provide me with any knowledge of what I had to do, but your video really helped.. Sometimes I do not understand why they just don't say this stuff to you..
It's so annoying
Thanks helped my know more about your cool job
Which stack are you targeting? Microsoft/Lamp - desktop/web? All thee above? What’s your favorite language?
I like your speak style man 👍🏻
Hi Andy, I am really enjoying your content. Could you tell me what microphone setup/equipment/software you are using?
Reproducing bugs is a great sign that you understand what happened. Thanks for the video!
Hello for the past two years i ve been learning programming and web development and i am about to hit the job hunting stage and have a question. Your video was clear. I thought that software devs do softwares for companies, like a software for an accounting company to make it quick and efficient the work inside that company, or softwares like photoshop, illustrator etc...
You gave examples for a website. I thought that what web developers do?! So what is the difference between software developer and a web developer?
Thank you very much
Hi Andy! Could you do a video of how to use google to search for the problem properly, and something like your favourite sources? Regards, Ozzy.
Guys I registered for application program’s but the wanted me to choose course but I don’t know what course I have to choose help please
thanks for sharing so much good content!
Thanks for the knowledge
If you have a program with bugs, do you print out the source code and try to spot the error or try to do it on-screen?
I've never thought about printing the code to find errors... sounds like an interesting approach
Andy I'd like to know your thoughts on Wordpress in 2019?
Thanks for your thoughts
Thank you for this video
Great video very correct! It is very fun tho. You have to be a nerd to get it but very cool! nice work
Awesome video
Do you have to be proficient in math? If so, which math classes are strongly encouraged?
Stack overflow is my life
Guys what different between applications development and software development?????
I registered for applications development and what computer 💻 good for practice for applications development tell me is Apple pc good or MacBook Pro 💻
This video is great. What do you suggest for a teenager who isn't sure if they want to go into this, but has no experience in coding?
I have a memory leak on my private website, the web app crashes every other week or sometimes month. There is no reliable way to find this bug, without a big test system that is close to the production environment in terms of usage.
I'm planning on going back to college for software development. I have practically sleeve tattoos that stop at my wrists that can be covered up with a long sleeve shirt. Would this have any type of impact on getting hired? They're all spiritual symbols, not offensive.
THANK YOU.
You indicated in another video that you did not graduate college. I'm interested in this but I'm not totally convinced it's right for me so I don't want to go to a Uni... So basically do you understand the advanced math topics they teach for comp sci, like discrete math and calculus? Just wondering what I should learn, thanks.
Well said Sir.
Is it possible for me, i donot have a Computer Science background, to become a software developer. How many courses should i have to take to have a clear understanding of software development?
Thanks so much. I want to be a software developer. :)
Good conversation.
I REALLY wanna know how often do you TRAVEL?? Do you get any time to travel around as youre a software developer?? As youre so BUSY?
I'm currently looking for a new career after being unable to carry on with my current one due to multiple slipped discs. I don't drive, so working remotely is essential, and I've always loved working with computers, so something like software engineering seems like a career I wouldn't mind pursuing. I have enough saved to cover my wages for 3 years, and was looking at doing some form of online degree, but unsure what exactly I would need to study, or how easy it would be to then find a job after completing my degree, as nearly everything seems to ask for previous experience in the role. If you, or anyone in the comments could give me some advice, it would be hugely appreciated. It's a huge step for me, and I want to make sure I have an understanding of what I'm doing before using my savings and throwing myself in to it.
Does anyone know if this would be a good for me to major in ? I just recently started doing a little research in software developer and I am really interested seems fun I want to work with computers anything technology related
Would I have a lot of trouble going into college for software development without having very much knowledge about it? I'm really interested, but I don't know if it's a lost cause or not.
I went with no prior experience, first 3 months were hard I’m not going to lie but after that I got the basics and caught up with people who had experience in the past, a lot of people on the course never done it before and universities/colleges take that into account
I really like this guy
Can you create an app that can fix corrupted Pen Drive/ Memory Card on Android?
So I have a question for you. FOr those of us wanting to get into tech/Software development or fullstack development, do you recommend bootcamps? Theres a local community college here in AZ that offers 18 week bootcamps for front and back end. Neither class gets you any actual college credits but its supposed to get you the certs. Just curious. The program is called Promineo Tech and they have partnered with Gateway Community college.
Same, I’ve been interested in getting into this field and have been looking at going through Coding Dojo
Hello I'm new to this channel...I'm considering new career paths and have been considering something in computer science...My computer knowledge is pretty small...my work offers free education to its employees and a BS in software development seem vary interesting....I guess my question would be...is this something that can be taught to someone with little to no computer knowledge....
What happens when you can't fix a bug or need help with creating a new feature?
sorry for the question but: Can a software developer create video games?
As a software developer is everyone expected to learn outside of work hours how is the work life balance?
Does anyone have any advice to get in to DSP from this area? have qualfications in this field have done programs related to it through university. it is a level 5 qualification learnt the basics of signal processing and going into a software development apprenticeship for experience.
Thanks you so much
What is the best way to contact you about a product endorsement?
How much of an 8 hour work day do people spend working on code vs communicating/meetings?
o-o code versus youtube more interesting
4-5 hours working on code in some capacity, we have the support ourself for anything we put in drift.
2-3 hours meetings/day, large company so a lot of different meetings that constantly pops-up.
Are you currently working as a developer, if so what type?
I'm pretty sure I want to get into this field. I'm oddly terrified this field will die out in the future. Am I wrong? Will this field be in demand for a long time?
For communication, can you also communicate to your boss just in case you're having trouble with your project as well or will your boss get mad at you?? Because it depends on how well you understand what you're doing with the project, it depends on how nice the person is to help you (because some bosses or people won't even help you, or they will help and if you still don't understand something after an x amount of times then they'll be really mean to you and fire you), and I guess it also depends on if you're working with the right company or the right groups of people because like I said not every person in the world is going to be your best friend and because of that, they might be mean enough to both get you in trouble and get you fired.
I love your videos bro. I'm starting school this September to become a software engineer. Thanks for all the heads up
julien stephenson I would love to be one but I unfortunately have to go back to do some high school courses and I am 19 year old of age. What are the requirements needed for it? Or what are your grades in math?
Thank you.
What you suggest for a 59 year old guy who is considering getting into this field?
So do a software developer would add new features to apps or with computers
Everything is StackOverflow ;)
hahahha,this made my day xD
but what if that site goes down huh?.....
@@verbon47 won’t lol
I love your videos
Hello, I don't know is this a good question to ask or not, but with what programming language do you write codes?
Weer don't use just 1language, and it depends on what the customer wants + what is the most reasonable to use
For example when we're writing some code for the database side it's probably MySQL, we can then link this data to the front end website which was built within a framework or with html, CSS , JavaScript, python, ... We link the database content to the front end probably with PHP. But again there are multiple languages to do this. And this is from a web developer's view. As a software developer it can go broader than this
Thank you
How long did it take you to learn ?
I wanna switch my major to software development but I don’t know if I’ll actually like it and I wanna be able to mod games, fix bugs, and be able to know computer language. I would I be able to do all that stuff with software development?
Did you ever figure out your answer?
Dude what are the applications you made changes
Do you have CS degree? I am 35 and really close to applying to Coding Dojo which is a coding boot-camp for software developer, do you have any tips? I don't really have time to go back to College full time.
