Hey I'm Will a Software Developer with a passion for empowering others to stay motivated and achieve their goals. My own journey has involved overcoming significant challenges. I've been in recovery since September 11th, 2017, and have prior experience navigating difficult environments. These experiences have honed my perseverance, my ability to maintain a positive outlook, and my capacity to overcome obstacles. I'm eager to leverage these strengths to help others on their own paths.
You need to know git and version control before applying for jobs. Also a state Management solution such as Redux, zustang, context api is needed to build complex app, also, its important to know tanstack query for client side data fetching, server actions for NextJs15. Its a lot honestly
Hey thanks so much for posting. I’m also a dad with a family to provide. I’m trying to break into web dev and I’ve been wondering how to gain experience while waiting for applications to go through. Thank you for sharing your ideas. It’s good to know that there are others who are in a similar spot like me.
i agree with this video. Im learning to be a software developer, and i see the standards for web developer are very different.. from these employers expect a web developer to know a ridiculous amount of frameworks, especially front end, feels like one comes out every other year especially for JS. Not to even last 3 years without being "outdated" , but expected to know 10 frameworks at the same time 💀 . No one is going to know it all at once. And this could make people indecisive about the learning route they should take when they don't have a chance to adjust.
THANK YOU!!! You are the first person to acknowledge this I love horror movies! I'm so happy right now 😂. Seriously thank you I just said this the other day no one has mentioned it
@@thetechdad87 Big horror fan over here so I saw it and had to acknowledge it. Nice little subtle piece in the background to make your video that much more awesome lol 👏
Now more than ever junior devs should take advantage of the A.I tools available to them, they are now able to have a complete conversation with the code they write and the code produced by the A.I tool, this would cut the learning time by more than half, and it is increasingly more and more about writing less and orchrestating/directing code, there is not much benefit in memorizing ugly syntax other than to earn a grade in a programming high school quiz. If you use chatGpt the same as google, you are making the worst mistake of your life, talk to it like it is a tutor
Well I make money off JS CSS and HTML. Obviously learning more is important but being able to produce websites is a good start. Also I've seen people land w2 jobs with just that so it is possible rare but possible so it's a good start
1. Enough is enough when you can produce quality stuff in a decent amount of time. 2. Don't try to memorize everything. You can't. Of course there will be stuff you can memorize through practice and muscle memory, but most of the time you'll need to google stuff or have an API reference near you for specific or situational stuff. If you count "enough" by memorization, you will fail.
Guys I'm seriously worrying if learning to code will become useless? . I'm currently learning frontend languages. I caught myself thinking that frontend developers will be replaced by AI or Automotive constructors. What's the difference if we end up with the same websites or frontend applications, whether they're created by site constructors AI or web developers? Why the hell I'm learning JS . JS is very complicated.
How do you deal with clients that ask for and admin panel where they can update their own content? Such as WordPress or something like that. I feel like that's what their will ask most of the times. Nobody want something simple where they cannot update anything...
Great question. you just have them set up an account and give you the login. But there is a whole market of people that just want a site for legitimacy that they don't have to worry about worry about it. Jump on discord if you wanna discuss more discord.gg/Hbn2rbcfmk
Sir i have basic understanding on html css and javscript but I'm finding it a bit difficult to do something wirh what i have learned so far pls any advice? Thanks in advance
So this is the time to start networking!!! keep learning but start getting your name out ther. Join my discord for more advice or connections discord.gg/XjWaP5w36Z
TALK TO EVERYONE. All your friends every time you have a new conversation mention what you do somehow, find meetups on Meetup.com, LinkedIn, Facebook, slack, I'm building a discord server join it link in the description.
A real software developer understands how the hardware works under the hood. As soon as you have also understood the electrical engineering side, you are someone who knows what you are doing.
@@thetechdad87 I didn't say that. I mean, to solve software problems well, you also need an understanding of the hardware for which you want to solve the problem.
I've gotta say something on #6 I hated Javascript for so long because I got caught up in trying to under EVERY.SINGLE.ARRAY.METHOD. It got on my nerves and I spent more time dicking around with bootcamps and being in tutorial hell to understand it until I realized that I wasn't going to use most of it for what I wanted to do. Now the way I approach it is if I get stuck trying to do something with a Javascript array I really narrow the problem down and google it. A lot of the time it involves a method that I didn't quite fully understand before, but applying it to something that I'm personally trying to achieve helped me understand it and be more comfortable with it. Let the learning come slowly and organically. Edit: Oof, and that last part. Let me tell you. I graduated with an Associates in Web Development way back in 2018, but I needed a job right away so I started working in a warehouse. The plan was to work there until I got an actual dev job, but I started working over time and neglected coding. I did that all the way up until last year and I was extremely depressed, working overtime, hating my job, etc. In those few years I neglected all of my code, lost all of my projects from school because I didn't care about backing up, it included projects that I worked on with other people. I got into an accident earlier this year and got back into it and realize I was SUPER behind on everything. I started taking a bootcamp through Codecademy, HTML came back pretty fast, CSS did somewhat , but javascript was really tough. Same goes for PHP and MySql. I used to be a boss at it and I recently posted some code and got dragged for not having prepared statements (I'm kind of over exaggerating, they weren't being too shitty about it, just light teasing over dated code.) If I would've stuck to it I'd probably be making over 100k annually as a fullstack developer.
It's too basic and should be left mostly basic. JS should be covered in detail and you won't die if you learn React and frameworks. Without some essential frameworks you're really wasting your time. Because there's frontend devs who can.
As a full stack dev for a large corporation, I'd rank them like this: HTML - just need the basics these days Javascript - intermediate to expert knowledge is helpful; fundamental knowledge of strings/arrays/dates/etc and the different methods used to manipulate them is critical CSS - expert to master is most helpful; everything uses styling to some degree and you want your apps to stand out Google will be your best friend.
When you get up in the morning get that computer monitor light hitting your eyes in the first 30 mins 😂 Seriously tho THIS is a comment I can get excited for!! Thank you
This industry is fckn toxic. Just fkn learn what you want, practice as much as you can and stop listening to negative people. Great video. Thank god i started practicing coding and never heard NOBODY, and i got a job with it.
Honestly facts, this was all I’ve heard about 24/7. Just get a regular part-time job, code as a hobby. I’ve never seen a person become good at something out of sheer determination for money; it sucks all the fun out of it. It’s like: you have to learn this that. Sometimes I think, if these people are smart, they would’ve already landed a job. They could just be outlier, the other side of the curve who lost out on a job 🤷♂️
