Why Most People FAIL to Learn Coding 

I love these tips, except, even if you told my beginner self these I doubt I would have listened unfortunately. Now I know to take it slow and success comes with progress. I used to always binge watch and try to do a ton of things, but end up burning out or forgetting most things and having to rewatch. It's just this undying pressure to "catch up" to everyone else, but a lot of times that "catch up" is made up in my own head.

I started coding a few month back. Today I just wanted to give up. Because I was feeling like I am not good at all at coding. But after watching this video I realised that I need to keep trying. Need to take small small steps. Really motivated video.

Not everyone is capable of doing programming. It is not necessarily about intelligence, it has to do with enjoying problem solving and puzzles. I came from an industry as far away from programming as possible. I was a truck driver for 15 years. However, I was always tech savy, and did very well in school. I finally decided to go to school and get my degree in software engineering. There is a very real thing call "Imposter syndrome", were you think you dont know enough and you will never get it. This is where having a support system can really help. EVERYONE struggles in the beginning, and we all have to learn everyday on improve. I am 10 years in now and still learning new stuff all the time. Another thing I would suggest is stop going into tutorial hell and watching videos. Spend a little time learning, then just jump in and create something yourself. You will not learn just watching and doing tutorials. You have to just jump in with both feet and do it. I have now been doing this for 10 years and I am the Director of Technology for an Environmental consulting company.

The best thing about your video is that you started by talking about your own difficulties and fears, and showing that you overcame it. Thats inspiring cause its relatable. Thanks for opening up and giving tips for the newcomers, buddy!

Coding was a representation of me running towards, not away, from something that terrified me. I was actually pretty horrible at math, programming, physics ect. But there was something inside of me that told me I had to face it, nf so I have and continue to, and enjoy my job. I love the challenge and at the end of the day knowing that I'm putting myself in front of challenges everyday

This is such high quality stuff! We can’t get such pure and deep insights from anywhere else. Thank you and keep you the amazing work!!!

I'm subscriber since you guys had 5k. The content is on point and very well polished. Congrats for the fast growth, well deserved! Keep it up. Greetings from Brazil.

this made me feel so much better, ive always had difficulty learning to code and i felt really alone in it its nice to hear that others go through the same issue

Great mentor you are. I thank RU-vid for introducing such an amazing person to me. Big fan of you man!

The most practical guide yet! I endorse it

One of the best videos ive seen so far… thanks man

You are one of the most perfect content creators ever I seen. Respect from my core of heart.

Oh man, was I needing to hear this today! Thanks!

Thanks for the tips! Appreciate your videos.

ya whenever i overwhelm , feel doubtful about my coding or Data science . Sahil will bring up a video to motivate me . Thanks you Sahil

Thank you for the advice!

You answered all my questions that I had in my mind currently...Thanks You So much!

This video made me push back to achieve my goal, i was getting distracted from my path but this video changed my mind and now i am gonna follow my path again . Thanks for this awesome content bro🤗

really loved it. I could completely relate to it 100%. Going through the same and now finally working on removing the fear of coding and trying to improve. Would love to get the Java learning resource from your end as mentioned in the video.Looking up to the same.Lots of thanks to you.

Woah that just made so much sense to me. Really great video. Subscribed!

Thank you Sir, I really appreciate the efforts you put into providing values in all your videos. Blessings

Thank you for all you do...God bless you, my brother.

I am one who gave up on coding, but I will say this I never slept so good in my entire life, coding really works your brain. I have huge respect for the guy second sit there and code all day long it’s extremely boring but cool when you do something that is cool. I got all the way to the point where I could make a graphical user interface and it worked somewhat

True. Thanks for you content, keep going

Thank you so much, Sir.... It's one of the most essential video that helps me a lot..... You're really great

this was a great video and really helped me. i’m currently enrolled in college for application development and i’m taking a C++ and Java at the same time, and it’s a lot more stressful than i would have thought. you really made me reflect in a way that i needed. thank you sir.

Thank you i needed to hear this.

So much wisdom in this video, thank you so much

Thank you brother for these tips, I will follow this pieces of advice.

The most realistic and honest youtuber I've ever met. Subcribed .

Thank you power couple... Inspiring! Really this video is needed to us 👍.

Really helpful for me. Love your content, stay cool brother!

Wow! You are like soft spoken Indian programming angel! Thanks for great advices!

Tbh.. I am in a decent college but due to lack of consistency.. I wasted my 2 years.. And here I am in my third year.. I was starting to hate myself until I watched this.. Im feeling ready to get back at coding from square 1..maybe a tough choice. But i hope something would workout at the end..Thanks for this Sahil🌺

I am busy acquiring a new language, and the contents of this video has been significant to me. Thumbs up to this informative and inspiring message.

Wow, very nice inspiring continue posting and making us inspired ❤❤❤

Great content for self taught programmers, i wish i had your guidance videos before... thanks soo much..!

Thanks so much for the vid , i was directly trying to learn R, MatLAB and java together.

Great video and great help!

Great video and super successful connection: Coding & Gym. Things you mentioned make sense and for me as self-tought beginner programmer comparison with gym explains things better. Just finished JAVA course (80+h) and I see now how little I know compared to all JAVA programming possibilities. So I am learning WEB now. BUT maybe you are right - I should look not how little I know in JAVA but how much I know now compared to knowing nothing. Ty.

His points are always great... Thanks brother ❤️👑

Thanks for the video Power Couple. I am also a victim of overlearning. It brings some calmness to my mind after watching your videos when I am overwhelmed with too much curiosity.

much needed, thanks

I also change my mindset even I don't know coding but when your watchind vedios changing our mindset completely...... Thaanks bro love you ❤

thank you very much for the advice

Excellent tips provided by you based on your own experiences again motivational awesome video Thanks for sharing

I teach programming and honestly, it's hard now as an experienced programmer to teach beginners because I really have to put myself in their shoes as I was years ago and try to remember how exactly did I wish I was taught when I didnt understand code. Its really difficult, you have to make numerous assumptions: Do I have to teach this person how to create folders? How to save a file? What an integer means? Do they already know some basic programming and if so how do I NOT make it boring but at the same time not complex?

you are inspiring to code and I appreciate that.

Thank you for a amazing video. I will more focus on the gain, not the gap!

I can watch this happily cause ill never quit, get more excited every day, I know there will be hard points, but ill breathe, go away, come back, and again till I find a solution.

What I've learned around other students during my bachelor in computer science, is that one should not allow teachers to introduce them to programming or you'll hate it. That, of course, highly depends on the teacher, I've had really really inspiring teachers, but they are extremely small amount. Most of the teachers will just force you to learn things and give you impractical tasks and at the end you'll hate it. I was fortunate to have started programming long before we started studying it (even in high school), and I believe that is the reason I love it. It started as a desire to create games (as most gamers do), which then grew into having my own website for my, at the time, CS 1.6 server and so my programming roller coaster spiraled out of control with each practical success I had. And so when I went to university, I felt the things they teach are boring and easy, but could clearly see my fellow classmates having trouble and hating programming.

Bro I really needed this video at this exact time in my life. thank you thank you very much

As a beginner, this video improves my motivation. Thanks

Very good content...and harsh truth to accept !!

Only thing I know, is that I am stressed CS student with no job in programming.

thank you! for this very informative more of this😁

Great advice 👍👍👍

Thanks for sharing these tips.

Great advice Sahil….thanks for sharing 👍😊

Very helpful video..I was in the same condition as I used to runaway from coding...but now I am searching for a job as a java developer n learning these tools n technology..thankyou

thank you so much, this video saved my life

Well done brO, it gives some sort of clarity that I need to progress. Keep on doing such things. May god bless you.

Thank you for this video, sir 😊😊 I really need this right now to heard and see 🤟

Too practical and motivating awesome video

great peice of advice sahil My takeway is ->Consistent practice -> Focus on Gain and the Gap in the process of learning anything

4:09 This line.... It cleared all my self doubts and I know what I have to do now. It's just matter of time. Thank you.

hi am 20 yrs old , I started my programming journey like 3 months ago but sometimes i got bad decisions like " im done with this 😣 " but now i realized the reason , this video is very important . thank you .😊🤝

Very Inspiring and the datasheet is well described to success in this passion and it must be like that to overcome difficulties and really must know what to learn and what for and ride slowly and do a lot of exercises and see the gain the difference between yesterday and today and not to see the top of the mountain and not conducting more programs together is false, concentration on one and follow consistently and step by step and never give up. thanks, Sahil for this video and for the motivation and inspiration.

thanks for the information I was about to enroll in 4 programing languages at once you saved me now I ll try to master one ❤️

Great video, exactly what i needed 👐

Ok wow! The person you aspire to be is you in the future! Amazing quote!

thanks for ur valuable advice. you are a good mentor for me. thank you brother

your flow of speaking doesn't stop for a moment.. that's interesting.... we need to keep listene that carefully

Bro simply you are awsome , thanks a lot for this valuable information.

I feel like this video is just exactly the solution to my problems... I use to hate programming but then I got to know its importance, and now I am eager to learn it. Also, the way you linked the example of gym and programming MAN THAT IS EPIC 🤩 I just pressed the subscribe button in an act of joy that I actually and finally just got solution to my problems 💖

Thanks for the motivation

Thank you for your grate advice

Thanks bro these words are so valid ever🤩

Thank god I clicked on this video. Thank you for the confidence and motivation.

Hey Power Couple, By Watching your videos I'm trying to learn coding by doing, in that process I'm creating my first website. Thanks a ton❤. Waiting for more useful videos

You are one of the best mentor . Thank you so much for these videos. Your videos always help me ❤❤❤❤

Worth Watching video!

Your videos are worth watching..

I can correlate with you actually I was so scared of coding that I was looking to switch my field and in every interview they asked me that why do you wanna leave your domain. I felt so ashamed as I couldn't tell them as I am scared of coding I don't know why but know I accept my heritage that is the field that will make my carrier and I will stick to it

I must say that you are an intellectual and a very cool content creator man. It's just amazing to watch your videos that are always structured and well organized. Thanks for highlighting these mistakes that I was also making. But from now, It will be no more. Your subscriber from Pakistan. Stay blessed.

I love this video! Motivating and inspiring. I just wanted to request if you could make a video specifically on finding coding buddies online. I've heard you mention this in another video on how helpful it is to have coding buddies. Many of us are not from CS background and struggle to find reliable coding partners. I have joined some Discord channels of coding but haven't found anyone willing to learn and solve problems together. If there are any more ways, websites or channels for coding partners then please do share with us. Thank you!

best video, ever i seen, tnx bro !!!!!😍😍

thanks bro for sharing your experience with us. It's really helpful for my future in programming. I never did any comment on youtube, it's my first comment ever. literally bro you are really good at explaining things with your own experience Again thanks bro

Awesome content.... A gem of a channel....🔥🔥

Just discovered this channel and what can I say As the name says power couple 🔥🔥🔥

single expression talks like a philosopher motivating words guidence Thank you

Still thinking if I study Computer Science. Must wait for a week till I get an answer. If I don't get accepted might as well self teach programming and then do a bootcamp afterwards and go to university next year. I think this is the best way to go about it since I wanna figure out how much I like it and how fast I can learn. Going in there without any plan would be foolish though so I try to figure out what exactly I wanna learn. What I'm aiming for is to make programming/coding my hobby. To do that I wanna give myself time and do things slowly rather than trying to do everything too quickly and then lose motivation and quit. The coding buddy idea is also great. Heh... but currently there is none. Not saying I can't find one. In University it should be no biggie at all. But if I go for the other route hmm... I'm not that sure. Anyways this won't change my plan at all. My curiousity is just much higher. Greetings to ya!

Love your video

I usually watch each and every video on RU-vid at 1.5 or 1.75x speed to save some time but in your case I watch it at normal speed ! I don't know why but it feels some inner kind of peace after watching your videos ! And thanks for such valuable content ! Much love and appreciation ♥️🤗

man this video is very motivated , Sahil u are doing great work solving many problems which no-one telling , thanks man.
