Bruh, I remember when I was starting out react. I begged a family member to help me pay for javascript mastery's nextjs course, because I was in nigeria, it cost like $90. I later found a great tutorial by stephen grider on udemy and it cost me like $6 and I guarantee it would have been better than the one of $90. If you're new, if the course is too expensive, just don't do it. There are a lot of youtube videos that can teach you what you need, and read docs too
The way I am learning (1 year junior SW engineer) is by: watching a crashing course on the subject (I just finish a udemy go course to start my go journey), after that; start my own project, references documentarion for most of the peoject; watch tutorial for specific stuff I want to implement in the app, like api auth; fo not watch and follow tutorials, just watch the part that you want to implement in the project that you started after the course. Focus all the tutorial that you watch in implementing the feature in that project.
I have first hand experience with this. I have seen two of my friends get into two big companies. Which route did they take: 1. Solving about 150 leetcode questions? OR 2. Things she said in the video? Answer: Leetcode. Neither of those two friends knew docker AT ALL, or knew CI CD, or had a real world project. NONE. They did not have course or certificate in AI, or whatever. Yet, they are working just fine and earning good money. The things she said in the video will definitely make you a better web developer than solving 500 leetcode problems. Sure. I agree. But to get a job fast? Get good at DSA, especially if your target is a big tech company. I mean, the things she said in the video will take at least a year to get right. Compare that will solving 500 leetcode problems. Which one is fast? The time to do all that she said in the video is before you graduate and start applying for jobs. Not in this horrible job market.
What is even the appeal of "getting hired FAST" with a portfolio website that you didn't code yourself ?!?! Best case scenario, you end up in a job where you have no clue what you're doing ? Get hired fast ! Get fired FASTER !! lmao
I feel like she was on to something on the part she said "learn the skills that nobody has", but either she explained very poorly or she doesn't understand it well. I don't know well this applies to the job market on the US, but I do think that having a nice set of non-technical skills gives you an advantage for certain niche jobs. Things like having done volunteer work might help employers see you as someone reliable; having experience in international cooperation might help you get a job in a company that specializes on city planning. Of course, it's not a guarantee on anything, you'll still need to go through the interview process, but it does answer the question "What do you bring to the table that other people don't?" I wouldn't say it's an ideal situation, but it's the game we're playing. This again, of course, comes from the experience I have on my country's job market. Wether that applies equally to other countries or not, I have no idea
Buying courses is literally the worst way to learn. Especially the ones that give out certificates. You need to do this and that, basically mindlessly copying what you just saw the instructor do after overwhelming your mental capacity with technical jargon. Believe it or not, even when they say let's get hands on and practice there's only an illusion of practicality. The best way to learn is to create something on your own and google things as you go.
My take: Pooja's video is problematic, but Melkey's reaction leaves out a whole ass piece of the equation. People continuously make the job interview centered around that single LeetCode problem that the company will ask when there is so much more to the interview. Typical job interviews for SWE are 5 rounds, and every goddamn RUclips channel out here is focused on Round 2, like if you just make it through that LeetCode problem you're good. That's just not the case. Every stage of the interview is its own challenge to solve and I've lost all faith in anyone who has discussed interviewing / getting into tech to this point. Still a good video though.
Thank you for roasting this video. However, I would like to invite you to define what separates a Senior Developer from a Junior Developer. My definition is that the Senior Developers are NOT based on knowning Docker, Cloud Technologies, Kubernetes, etc. They are expected to know them, but that is NOT what separates a Senior Developer from a Junior Developer. The key difference, imo, is that a Junior Developer....all developers really...need to be able to Code Fearlessly. They can't be worried or expected to concerned that they might blow up Production and/or lose Revenue. The guide rails they work under (Source Code Control, Code Reviews, Static Code Analysis, etc.) should allow them to do the job. The Senior Developers are the ones responsible for setting up the guide rails to allow Junior Developers to Code Fearlessly. Just My Opinion. (JMO)
if you're reading this melkey, help me clear this doubt. i work as a junior fullstack developer, but i mostly deal with frontend ( react ), and would also like to grow in the frontend field. now, do i have to do leetcode to switch later? i want to be good with javascript, but pretty sure that's not a preferred language for leetcode. why do i have to leetcode if i'm aiming for a frontend dev job?
There's no preferred language for leetcode with the exception of maybe python (I would only choose that for interviews) for learning, stick with JavaScript. Leetcode is good to learn how to solve problems with fictitious scenarios that you may later see resemblance in real life and also when doing frontend. Probably less in frontend vs backend but still. Leetcode forces you to learn DS and algos in order to solves those problems and when you learn how to solve them that knowledge translates to any type of programming and any type of language. So I would still highly recommend to do leetcode, as a FE
In my option leetcode grinding is essential maybe for FANG companies , you can still get a really good job in tech, knowing how to program , but not essentially needing to grind leetcode for weeks
cuz you won't do the same thing your whole life, who knows few years from now you are working in spaceX, writting memory efficient code for a lander or a.i take over and you become ML engineer, doing math and Data structures, making your own algos. You don't wanna stick with one thing but keep exploring opportunities and different fields, constantly learning and evolving with the space. solving difficult Data structures and algorithms improves your analytical thinking, it's like solving math questions and that's why works as a filter for companies, even if you don't use it on job, they will ask you those questions to check how you think compared to other candidates.
You cannot gain the skills and experience that a senior engineer has without first working as an entry level engineer. This dude keeps it real.
Keep doing these Melkey, you’ll save a lot of people from these “techfluencers”
yea, melkey is becoming the coffezilla of techfluencers
i am guilty of buying courses the same way people buy domains.

More of this content 👏🏻 expose these people giving false information for clicks
Great video bro, keep doing these🔥
:) I WILL
Thank you

Use the project with the tech. Pretty much sums up software dev/eng career 👍
getting the job after the pandemic is just rly hard plain and simple, no shortcuts

I really love this work you are doing man
I appreciate that!
I love these videos. It would be nice to see more of what to do instead, to actually get a job.
Can't wait to see you call out some books.
is the "registered Hypercam 2" a meme or fr? 😭
Bro what’s your beef with pooja?😂
Checkout Harkirat Singh too 😂
go through at least 100 leetcode problems to get comfortable with DSA and have a fighting chance on getting a new job.
DESTROYED!
keep em coming man, I'm getting real tired of this tech influencer garbage content proliferating literally everywhere
The hiring manager's answer was so vague. He said a lot of stuff and somehow said nothing. Master manager speaker right there

I've never done leetcode.. am I doing this right?
The industry is losing it's track now, these influencers were really not needed but here we are 😢

@@LeighBriody prepping for an interview yeah you have to grind specially silicon valley ones. On a normal day I wouldn't do more than two
im a new dev, and that hostinger portfolio is horrid.
🚨🚨🚨Roasting melkey is back🚨🚨🚨
But I get udemy business through work 😬
Make video on harkirat singh ❤
First. Also leetcode is useful for... corporate etiquette in hiring?
great video!! She really wasted our time with her video
Vite 🏋♀
Too obstinate Melkey. There were plent of 6 or 7 out of 10 takes she had that you were treating like 1 or 2 out of 10.
Next video: how to get a job (all the paths open source, referral, leetcode way, projects way or something else)
