1. Zero-sum games and Abundance mindset: Create value instead of being an ill-wisher. 2. Be the dumbest in the room: Gives you the motivation to work harder than others. 3. Deciding b/w Tech and brick-and-mortar: Always choose Tech, ever growing opportunities. 4. Phoenix Analogy: Tech has transition phases, Aaj yaha Kal waha but it would feel new hamesha. 5. Tech is anxiety-inducing: Tech is competitive, but eventually everyone wishes to settle down where ever they feel their comfort zone lies.

Thanks Kirat for not getting demotivated by the critics of your attempt at teaching open source!!

Your explanations are so concise and easy to follow😀. Thank you for making this video!

bro i feel so lucky to have come across your videos thank you so much for being you !!! you have no idea how much this means to some of us !!! thank you from the bottom of my heart

thank you kirat about all these lessons. I am a electronics developer and engineer. now moving towards Software development that is giving me anxiety but want to learn balance more towards peace and happiness while developing with your course learnings and technologies.

Thank you Harkirat very very much

man.. u have such great insights for the life and career. glad you are here on youtube. :)

Hi Kirat, jus saw one of your videos randomly and cant stop watching all of them. Keep sharing the knowledge and please guide us since i am from a very normal academic background and an average student. I am very passionate to be a coder but very confused with things like how to start and where to practice and how to become a pro in this field.

Thanks harkirat for the information. I love the blend that you share some life advice in general not just related to packages and tech. This helped to clear my thoughts a lot!

You are excellent bro. The way you analyze the open source code is simply awesome.

these are really great words brother thanks a lot for inspiring every time

Amazing man! thanks for this video

Very much needed. Thanks a lot

Thanks for the video!

This was amazing Harkirat. Love your brother!

You are doing a great job ..brother 👍

Thanks Kirat, your points are relevant. you jot points and xplain in a great way.

Such an underrated video! You are awesome mate!!

💗 so far the best I've ever seen... Wonderful!

keep making videos like this we get motivated from you guys only

Thank you! I am a big fan of this kind of videos. Thanks for the motivation.

Been a software engineer for 6 years. I feel like he is speaking my mind. Same perspective I have & opinions & lessons he said in a video. Very good video.

harkirat im 2018 btech grad as well, trying to break into tech this gave me some hope ❤

Mann such a amazing video!😍 Bigg Respect to you for showing us a bigger picture

Man thankyou so much for this. you spoke about everything that goes in that subconscious mind which nobody addresses. It was very helpful.

One learns all of this with experience and time. Mental health is really important especially someone who is in either already in tech or someone who is trying to get into tech. I'm currently trying to get into Data Science but still follows harkirat channel to know about open source and other things. Anyone else here wants to get into AI put your comments here. Let me know as well.

Pheonix analogy is so apt, I am at 7 year mark and I'm anxious and feel a bit stuck. I think I will re-incarnate with the ideas that I have.

Thanks for sharing harkirat. I am feeling like i should be reborn. I hope you will be better and make me stay motivated...

Things you have said are so true... i am connecting and really liked the phoenix analogy

This video is consist of all of my emotions and what i feel in day to day life. Now i feel better that not only me, everyone goes through this phase. Thanks Harkirat for this beautiful content.

thenk you !!! very helpful video !!

thanks bro, that anxiety inducing part's really relatable.

Sir i'll encourage u to post more such videos. They spark some light in such hard time.

The first lesson I learn from one of the senior about the crab mentality in India, and the lesson about the brick and motor now I am seeing from the perspective of yours and realize that I want to stay in tech even my family and friends have the good local business, earning good sum of money.

Awesome video!!

Thanks for your guidance ❤

so glad to find this channel

Full on valuable content best out there in market ❤❤❤

That punjabi song is love. I was watching your second video of fullstack road map series. Will do all the assignments.

Great Video Kirat!!!! Being open minded, learning new things, choosing mental peace over money always keeps us young and energetic.

You provide great value man

Thanks Harkirat, every time I watch your video I get new information about tech✌

Thanks HarKirat for this ultimate content.

Lovely video ❤ lots of love

I loved the fourth point which is Phoenix Analogy. It is really deep to understand. ❤

Big fan sir love the way you have gone through I am also hoping I will be there in future ..🎉

Thanks harkirat for such good advices

Man, thanks for sharing 🫡

ThankYou Harkirat for Your valuable suggestion

after watching this i forgot my pain of trying to get a job in tech, i am still working hard for my passion since last 6 years including my graduation and my 2 years of down phases and thanks to yo sir❤

Kan kar gal sun mkhna bro got some chill 🤘🏻

This phoenix thing is not easy when you got Kids and family, I think it gets harder to unlearn and relearn new tech skills once you are close to 40 year old and with your kids it is very hard to move places like moving to Dubai etc. But one thing you are 100% right that even the dumbest of techies can easily reach 1 lakh per month ultimately which is much better than brick and mortar. I mean, even after not learning anything new i.e. still working on old legacy licensed technologies, for past 6-7 years and still no promotions (intentional as I don't want managerial roles) , so working as a developer - I am gettting 30 lakh per annum !! -- pretty sure this is the easiest money out there !!!! 40 hrs a week || 20 leaves per year || 10 holidays per year || "work from home" --- and doing work which is closest to anything future will hit people "AI" "WEB3" "ALL INTERNET STUFF" -- techies life is always better than brick and mortar !!

Great bro ❤‍🔥

Liked the video, Loved it

saw your many videos before but this video made me subscribe to your channel

Thank you so much sir for this video, I am in college, I really needed this video

I can’t wait to start the new course on the 9th

Best video i have had watched in this era.

Really Helpful.

Hey Kirat. Thanks for your points. It would be good to add time stamps to the video. Will help us to quickly recollect jusy by watching the time stamps.

Hi harkirat , how would we know which company are open source and hiring as well ? I guess lot of people here have same question can you please help us all😊

Sir thanks for such good educating videos.

Man you are very much right on this although I am not in the industry yet but the feeling I can relate sometimes. Like I do participate a lot in hackathons but most of the times it feels like fuck he got the prize for such easy project and I was here thinking so deep on the project and didn't get the prize. Well I was able to connect to the thoughts it feels a bit releaved after listening to this video

Great advice 👍

Thanks for this video 😊😊😊

3:00 This is true in my case , both of my roommates are better than me in studies or coding and i used to feel ki I m worser than both of them , but now i feel that ok it is a good thing to learn and grow

Amazing!

Thank you.

No on share such secrets. More power to you sir.

You are Master!!

this guy is amazing.

yes bhaiya really helpful video

always get inspired by you

Thanks!

Thank you Bhaiya👍

what do you think for ai taking jobs, now I am not talking about the whole tech, but things like web/app dev will definitely be automated, so should we learn it

Very informative video

@harkirat, Hi ! Just recently found out about the channel, the content is amazing. What excited you about the low latency systems?

Such a great video much needed this. Also you are talking about Arnav Gupta from scaler, I guess😅

Can you tell me where u got those eyeglasses from or maybe provide a link to the same. TIA.

Superb dude.

2:30 Exactly what mindset I have developed over the years from a zero sum mindset, Glad to have been grown the good way much over the years :)

Great, nice info. By the way I like your specials , can you tell me what's that brand and model.

Be open minded and positive bro...❤

THanks bhaii..

But sir job is like job either it is remote or full time, you will not compare it with business where you get ample time for yourself to explore without having tension of going daily to work , because you know that your money is coming without going daily to work.And also you are your own boss.

Filmmaking is transforming I see. You made a good choice btw

Loved it

Thank you

Thanks 😊

this is also very useful video bro

Hi Harkirat Singh, I often see your videos and those are really helpful. Need your advice on below case'/, My friend don't have any experience and graduates in 2013 and she is looking for IT career. As we don't have opportunities due to no experience, I proposed to learn Salesforce course and try to get opportunity in UpWork app and gain experience. Is this a good idea? If yes, can we put this UpWork experience and apply for Regular😢 Jobs with experience? Any suggestions would greatly help.

Thanks for the amazing video. Should I learn ai ml development or full stack web development?

Thanks Harkirat , you are so not about money , you are not at all about money
