I wanted to give up more than 10x in my 13 year career but always sticked to it because I am a maker and love building new things with code. What helped me the most was keeping the end result in mind and reminding myself that with each challenge comes growth.
graduated from college with a degree in journalism here in nyc, wasnt happy so i taught myself how to code and in 7 months i landed an internship at Twitch. anythings possible!
Learning to code straight after I finished reading atomic habits really helped me. No motivation need just created a habit of sitting at my computer after work and just turning it on. Slowly but surely I just do it every weekday after work no matter how tired I am.
I am sorry but this video was more of a motivational video for me because I am an introvert, and I am learning code because I love it I don't have even a little bit of care about what the world have to say. Nothing is easy in the entire world, working hard with complete dedication while also questioning everything is the real deal.
Just found your channel Man and its great! I'm just about to start my journey , but I had a questions. After learning everything, how do you know when you're ready?
AI is going to take my job of customer support so I need to learn to code to make a living. But I am afraid I will give up especially since I don’t have much time to just sit and code with a job and a family with small children to take care of and my wife being gone for 13 hours per day commuting and working in another city. I wish I had spent more time learning when I was younger and had more time but I was too busy playing computer games to learn how to make them. But I will do my best.
Does anyone really "learn" coding though? I basically only spend most of my days looking through my cheat sheets or googling or rummaging through stack overflow. Although I'm not a traditional monkey coder ( I'm in data analytics and mainly use R).
I'm just starting to code and actually, I dont have the dip. I just know how hard it is, how many different things I need to learn, so I take it slowly, a couple hours every day. In a year I should know more than I do now
Sadly, for me the loss of motivation to code anything has come after not being able to get interviews. It's frustrating to know that you can do something but no one else believing you can...
Hi, great video, i have a technical question, if i already know JavaScript, how much time on average terms of course, does learning NodeJS and also MongoDB takes? Thanks and amazing channel it really helps me alot!
I dont know whether i am in a dip or just dont want to code but i am studying Computer science in 7th sem and in each sem i just think i cant do it but i have invested to much to quit .. i just dont know what to do now Haha
I started learning through my cs college degree. Most of the principles I've learned were through java. I might be impatient due to not feeling I'm going anywhere with only 3 semesters, and only theory without projects. I know it can be boring and I will need patience, but right now i feel frustrated because I feel I won't be good for the industry when I'm done. Currently I'm trying to learn more (and I love to learn). But what do you recommend? I see a lot of people that say not just to learn the principles, but also make projects (games, webpages, apps). I won't abandon my education, and I still enjoy the theoretical, but I feel like I'm not learning to do anything. So my plans are to do small projects on my free time, even if I just follow along on a preexisting code, so that way I can get that practical knowledge. Do you think this is a good path to take?
I read a comment on a James Cross video from a self taught Social Engineer with 10yrs in the industry under his belt. He said that the best thing he ever done was dropped all of the tutorial videos and just focused on his own projects developing games and apps. Hope that helps.
