EVERYONE Who Ignores This WILL FAIL 

I have been popping into your channel for practical advice. You sound like you have real life experiences and a strong family unit. You all are very fortunate to have each other, and I hope your kids appreciate all of this sound advice (if not now, one day).

Thanks for sharing your story and the lessons learned.

Dude, you have the best timing for saying the things I am going through! I had my first tech interview last month. And even though I was preparing programming for about 5 months I froze in the interview, couldn't think much and I was so embarrassed I wanted it to just end.

From someone trying to make a pivot into becoming a software development engineer, and just starting out learning to code, I really appreciate this video. Thanks!

Thank you for this!

Thanks for sharing your experiences 🙂

Wow. I'm so glad I found your channel. You have some great content around the job side of things (and probably much more I haven't seen) and it sounds like you've made your dreams come true. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom from your journey. I'm still in the learning phase (about 2 weeks in and starting to get the hang of layout in CSS) and I need to ask you a question. If you already have a video on this, I haven't seen it, so I apologize if you do. My main concern is about being able to do the job remote as a junior developer. I live in the middle of nowhere on 10 acres of land, and going to a job would be tough. Remote video calls and whatnot aren't a problem, though because we do have a 1Gbps fiber connection at our house. I've never worked a remote job before (my background is Military, truck driving, and most recently IT help desk). I've looked at a lot of job boards, and it seems like most remote jobs are more senior roles (2 years was the shortest experience required that I found without a CS degree). Do you have any insight you can offer on being able to work remote as a junior front end developer?

People also have to connect on social media like tech twitter it opens up doors for discords or group chats to get solid advice or even meet ups about tech.

He earned my subscribe button. He is doing his videos with REAL content. Props to you devsmak! Hope to watch more of of your videos.

I'm leaning back to learning C# for the simple reason that the company I work for needs people with C# and SQL skills. Maybe other ones largely related to data analytics. I've actually used C# to make an Autoclicker that would greatly increase efficiency for what I do.

I too got my nmls license and mortgages is a boom or bust industry. Today I’m at Kenzie academy studying to become a software engineer 👨‍💻

Hey. Wondering what aspect ratio you shoot in.? 2:1? Also glad I discovered your channel. Recent coding bootcamp grad.

Dam! I am glad I subscribed. Study. Build. Reflect. ------>. Gems!💎💎💎

I can totally relate. Dumped a LOT of time and money into a “get rich easy” pyramid scheme. It was a very painful mistake, but I did learn from it.

I'm dabbling with learning front end web development and I have a no degree. How long did it took for you to learn all the necessary skills and land your first job? I know it varies from person to person but I've been learning javascript for beginners on youtube. Should I go the bootcamp route and spend 30k or are there cheaper alternative?

I have been watching ur content since i began my journey into coding may God bless u its motivational and beneficial 😍😍🎉🥰

When I first started learning web development it was with MySpace playing around with the pre made layouts wondering what everything did. I would copy and paste a layout into my about me section and whatever other section which was like having your HTML and CSS files and I would just play around with all of the elements to learn what each one did. A couple years later I found W3schools which sounds stupid now but they had some really useful information for a kid playing around not knowing what html was. Between that and Adobe Dreamweaver I started learning a little more but at the time it was strictly creating MySpace layouts so I didn't really understand the concept of creating a proper website that was accessibility friendly. Im still learning all of that and I wish that we had the avenues back then that we have today because I would have learned all of this stuff back then and been an html and css wizard now. Never too late though to learn and learn proper. I'll tell you one thing. It beats the hell out of construction or painting boat bottoms thsts for sure.

I always likened it to a quote from an animator I heard once, that many fail because they like animation, but struggle to enjoy the animating process. I think it's really easy to miss the distinction and waste a lot of time learning to do something you don't really enjoy actually doing (me)

Hey, I'm 16 yrs old turning 17 in a few months. I'm really interested in coding and i know its what i want to do for my future, and I'm really interested in every aspect of code in terms of the types of development you can specialise in like front end development. But i'm not sure where the best place is for me too start at all, for how i should learn code and which languages will be best. Any advice?

Love your content! In January I did a 3 month JS/React/Express boot camp followed by a 3 month internship. This video is pushing me to want to dive into making my own app with no one to hold my hand. BTW I had similar experiences with tech and health supplement MLM companies. It did push me to come out of my shell a bit but to continue far into it you have to be willing to sell things to people who rarely need them and are often priced higher than they are worth. At that point just dedicate yourself to sales and make tons of money.

I was stuck in step 3 for so long. I’m getting out now 😊

Oh yeah, this is a wise man disguised as a youtuber.

Talk about a ponzi scheme, sorry that you were tricked. One simple method of life is, if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is. Thanks for sharing.

Hello. l don't have any degree. Can i get a job as frontend devoloper without a degree?

Great insight, I like to share some of my thoughts not related to this topic may be. Nowdays everyone thinks/want that they can learn a skill without working hard or some with magical ways. They don't want to work hard but they will keep bugging me hey we want to learn this help me, hey I want to learn javascript help me. As a part of this community I tell them hey you can learn this that way or from this resource or try building xyz with it, things quite down for a week or two. Then, Hey I have learned these skills but the interviewer told me I am not good enough. DUDE YOU CAN'T LEARN SOMETHING IN TWO WEEKS what do you think these people have been doing they have worked really hard I have worked hard to learn this stuff. NOBODY WANTS TO WORK HARD THEY WANT SOME BITCOIN THAT CAN MULTIPLY THERE MONEY WITHOUT ANY WORK. Yeah this rant was definitely off the topic but I have holding it off for a long time.

I joined a pyramid scheme and it didn't work out. XD

Nice call out to Napoleon Hills book without explicitly saying it. Lol

I would suggest you could speed up the way of talking and the things you are saying are going out of context ..keep it to the content and short

Pssss hey want to buy an NFT ;)
