- learn from the fundamentals - build real project - use resource that have good reputation - stay consistent - focus on one thing at a time - if you are stuck on a problem for a long time, just do something else, refresh your mind and come back

I don't know bro, as sooner as you get the job you'll actually be practicing daily😅

@mindful9114 2 года назад

@@Carramoz You would burn out. If you don't take enough time to grasp the concepts before a job, then on the job you'd need to put on more hours after work to learn and catch up. So you'd be spending your nights and weekends doing that. 14 hours or more a day just to catch up would burn you out quickly. It happened to someone I know. Burn out can be really tough to deal with once it happens. You'd have to stop from all of that and either take a break or never get back to it.

@kumarutsav1123 2 года назад

Notes for self and for others 1. Learn the *Basics First* and don't just dive into advanced just to look cool. 2. *Google Stuff* that you don't understand, don't just skim over. 3. Learn from *Standard Material* and not from random, unrated/less rated material. 4. *One thing at a time* . (For myself- Focus on Java DSA. Leave JS for some free weekend, Addon for another, CPP for 3rd sem and C# for 3rd sem weekends. Don't pick any new things, you've already many things to do. For Drawing, make time.) 5. *Code Consistently* . 1 hr for 6 days is better than 6hr in weekend. (Because Memory curve) 6. Take your time. *Relax when exhausted, take a walk then restart* . 🙂

Did you complete JAVA DSA?

@kumarutsav1123 Год назад

@@atifshaik No 🥲😔 1. I dived into advance topics just to look cool. 2. I didn't googled and cleared my doubts. 3. Didn't read Standard material 4. Tried many things at a time(Java DSA, C DSA, Cpp OOP, Android, Cyber security, web, and what not. But continued none🥲). 5. No consistently, I came back to write this reply with a coding break of about 3 months. 6. Initially I didn't relax and exhausted myself almost at a regular basis.

Thanks for the advice! It's true, when you first start learning it can be very overwhelming and the thoughts "am I focusing on the right thing?" and "what should I learn next?" are a daily occurrence! I'm still in my learning stage, been teaching myself for 3 months now and still going. I have to say, doing it every single day has been a game-changer. Looking forward to more content!

hi Nick! Thank you so much for these advices especially the first one! coz i personally make this mistake and need to learn to slow things down and give my brain the liberty to process things . and yes i should stop 10hr long coding grind sessions and instead practising coding 2 hr/day. these tips will definitely help me survive and i guess be at better position at the end of this college semester!

I'm grateful that you did this. I'm a total beginner and I've been learning to code for about a week now, and your advice on coding every day, not sparing fundamentals and learning one thing at a time is just gold for me. I never rush until I actually fully understand each new concept. Thanks a lot ❤

@CROXoDyLE 2 года назад

I think the advice of just taking a break when you are genuinely stuck is great. There were times in my algorithms class when I would literally look at my computer for 5+ hours straight with no progress. In that time I could have worked out or done really anything. Sometimes all you need is a fresh mind to get the task at hand done instead of brute forcing it.

@beeman6772 2 года назад

my best advice: while covid is still going on, screw going out with friends and partying. you got discord for messaging IF needed. sit in your room, defog the brain, get a white board or paper and start getting that brain running with practicing algorithm basics, learning to talk to your brain about what you are learning, software engineering basics by finding a framework and find applications for your basic algorithms. master 1 language, build a project, refine it and stay consistent.

They can tell themself that they're hardcore learners and those who use their time for social activities are lazy, wasting people. However, in the end, they can still seat on their basement all day long wondering why they've tried so much but still not get the jobs while those "lazy" people keep getting more and more offers by having friends refer them when applying.

I can confirm on the skateboard analogy. I got an e-skateboard and went 3-5 mph on the first week. In my mind, something was telling me to hurry up and go faster. I ignored my thoughts and went with the flow. After a month of non stop skating, 30 minutes a day, I was pushing 22mph. Fast forward 2 years later, im pushing 35mph. Just enjoy what you’re doing and don’t force yourself to learn.
