In this video, I talk about the Stoic idea of the finiteness of our lives, and how that shouldn't scare you... it should free you. Don't worry about who watches your videos, reads your writing, or enjoys your music. Do it for the love of the craft. Do it because it makes you better. And do it because 1000 years from now, no one will remember it anyway. Check out more of my work: joshalmodovar.c...

Why You Can't Relax | The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry
มุมมอง 76หลายเดือนก่อน
Do you struggle to relax? Do you feel like you always have to be doing something, and stuck on a treadmill of nonstop "productivity"? In this video I review the book "The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry" by John Mark Comer, and talk about why we struggle to relax, the symptoms that you might be suffering from "Hurry Sickness", and some tips on how to overcome the nonstop hurry mentality.
Anyone can code with AI. It's a skill of past now.
you got a subscriber ❤
I appreciate that 🙏🏽. Glad to have you.
Most of us need to watch this video one time when our day starts, Then go to do all.
Great video sharing ….thanks bro
Appreciate you watching. Thanks 🙏🏽
Thanks for the story man. Great job the hard work pays off.
I appreciate that 💯. And thanks for watching.
this is the right content that's no show off subscribers are 400-500 but views are 1k-2k this is the power of very good content and knowladgeable content sport brother channel why i am saying this i don't know but when i saw his channel in my innerside thought subscribe this channel he is the right person that helps for peoples not for grow channel and all this
I appreciate the kind words, and you subscribing. 💯 Thanks!
literally trying for weeks how to start learning code, cause there's just too much excuses I have or low energy or I get sleepy
OMG I have so some many goals, 1. learning PHP laravel, and React 2. Learning AWS, 3. Learning Windows Server and Powershell, 4. Learning Linux Administration 5. Cisco CCNA 6. Learning ServiceNow Application development Still confuse from where to Start, Any tips ? please 😅
This video severely underestimates the capabilities of LLM's, of course ChatGPT wont be able to produce a working SQL statement right of the bat because it doesn't understand what your data architecture and schema looks like. In the video you answer if AI can currently replace devs and data analysts (which it can't) but that isn't the question proposed in the title. If you properly break down the question, its really, will AI advance at a rate faster than the time it takes for me to learn to code. And considering the progress which we have seen from GPT-3 to GPT-4 o, I think its clear that in 5-10 years the landscape for jobs will look very different. Current limitations of not being able to swap between tools like tableau and snowflake are short term challenges in the future of AI, Soon enough AI models will be able to interact with a computer in the same way that humans do by opening apps and using tools, Check out the Open Interpreter project if you do not believe me. Once models are capable of navigating a computer, long term planning (which is a key weakness), better understanding requirements and asking follow up questions when they lack information, then I think the whole landscape of work as we currently know it will change. Personally, I think this video on the whole was very poorly made, you struggle to stay on topic and you answer questions which are unrelated to the question in the title of the video. While I agree with your conclusion of a lot more jobs will be effected than just data analyst and developer roles, I think that is the only substantive conclusion which you reach.
Nice video man, I don't understand why subs and views are small, overall nice channel, you just got a new sub :)
I appreciate that!
This video is top-notch when it comes to providing self-awareness to "lost in the jungle" developers👌👌. Thanks for sharing, Josh.
Glad you found it valuable. Thanks for watching!
Thank you!
I’m transitioning into data analysis I realized I don’t like web development and it’s not trending rn AI can create websites for people.
Congrats on the transition into data!
Be Blessed for your help and sharing time with the rest of the world. Salutations from France.
come to think of this, every employee pays taxes to the government, Imagine AI replaced 900 employees out of 1000 developers, that's obviously a loss on the side of government. so i feel AI will have some government regulations in future. That's what I'm thinking tho.
I hadn't thought of that, but you bring up a great point.
Good points!
Thank you!
Very insightful and powerful video. Certainly puts things into perspective
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Thanks so much for this! I’ve followed most of these thus-far, I was just demotivated and stuck when i tried tackling two things at once…for instance learning Networking and Python at the simultaneously. I tend to focus on the easiest when the going gets tough, say I get stuck with consuming Pythonic knowledge. I tend to focus more on Networking since it’s more theory and less practice(basically easier). I know I have to finish covering the basics of Python, I just know basic syntax and understand how the computer interprets lines of code and how we communicate with it using code. I just feel I’m afraid to start learning something new, like for instance Data structures and Algorithms, and being comfortable with loops. How do I stop myself from learning the easiest over the hardest? How did you conquer those types of hurdle If you had any? Please help.
I like the "Eat the frog" method, where you do your hardest work first thing in the morning (or whenever you study) when your willpower is highest. I'd also recommend mixing up hard concepts and easy concepts in your study session. So try doing a pomodoro (25 minutes) of a difficult subject, then take a short break, and practice something a little easier for your next pomodoro.
I just started watching his videos and I'm really impressed! I think it would be awesome if he created community channels where people with similar interests can connect and share ideas. Highly recommend checking out his content!
I appreciate that! And I appreciate the feedback too. I'm currently working on a discord server and Patreon, so stay tuned for that.
Here are my thoughts, AI is not going to replace a senior developer/programmer/engineer, what it is doing is replacing all the entry level positions that freshers' eyes on. Right now, anyone fresh trying to get into the job market will be extremely competitive and the bar is set very high.
AI will only replace dumb people (repeated works)
Mate can we gain certificates for free to share on LinkedIn after we complete a course on codeacademy ? Iam a student thats why
Yeah for sure. All the major platforms like Codecademy, DataCamp, etc., have certificates of completion that you can earn as you work. They can be great to show your interest in coding/data analysis, but they definitely won't do much in terms of landing a job. For that I'd recommend getting real certifications from companies like Tableau, Snowflake, AWS, etc.
Which courses did you purchase on Udemy? Please share the resources in the description.
May I know your age bro? At what age you started learning code and present age?
I started learning code at 29. Got my first job right before I turned thirty. I’ll be 32 this year.
@@almodovarj2 This inspiring brother, Thanks for the response! ❤🇧🇩
Man i like your train of thought keep it up.
I appreciate that. Thanks 🙏🏽
Yes, I hear it all the time: stop watching tutorials and start some projects. That sounds like very good advice but to actually do and complete a project you have to know what the hell you're doing, else you're just wasting your time and spinning your wheels. No one just starts programming without a clue of how the language works and knowledge of the do's and don'ts. Some amount of tutoring is necessary before one can even think about starting a project. I'm not so lucky to have been born one of those who can watch two or videos and then program and build project that worthy of any recognition. The idea that one can teach oneself to code is delusional. You must take instructions from some source or another to know what you're doing and how things should be done.
You bring up great points. To clarify, when I say "teach yourself", I'm just referring to learning through self education, as opposed to a formal education in the form of a degree or a "bootcamp". And the advice to build something instead of just watching tutorials can be followed at any point of your journey. Building something doesn't mean a full stack application when you're starting out. It could simply mean writing a few for loops, while loops, etc. Or creating your first Fizz Buzz. Or other very simple projects. They don't have to be worthy of recognition, they just have to help you learn the concepts, and solve problems when you get stuck.
Glad i clicked on this just subbed!!
Great to have you here!
Great example you are.
Thank you!
thanks for advice , the hard thing when i start something where you don't have any idea, i mean no one try the same things before how you can deal with this?
I know what you mean. It's definitely hard to do something when there isn't already a path laid out for you, or examples to follow. My advice is if you really can't find someone who has done what you're attempting to do, then to try to find someone who has done something similar, and relate it to what you're doing. For example, the things I learned on my fitness journey, also helped me in my coding journey. There is crossover in a lot of different areas. And second, if you can find a mentor, that can definitely help. Find someone who is knowledgeable, and who is doing what you aspire to be doing, and ask them for guidance along the way. They can see things you can't, and even if they've never been in your unique situation, they can help you with a lot of obstacles. Hope that helps. Thanks again for watching.
@@almodovarj2 perfect
TLDW; AI makes for a good search engine and can write pseudocode that doesn't even work that still helps as a base.
Just subscribed, love watching your videos man! Keep it up with the good work :)
I appreciate the sub. Glad to have you here 🙏🏽
Great video man, I agree with you that; “if AI gets to that point, all of our jobs will be in trouble”
Appreciate you bro. Hopefully we won't be seeing an AI takeover any time soon 😂
@@almodovarj2 It's like as you said, if an expert can be wrong, so can AI. The best AI will probably be no better than humans. We are the limit of AI. Is it possible that AI can surpass us humans? Not likely in the next 10 years. My biggest issue with AI is trust. Many of us have seen the effect that social media has on society, how algorithms can influence the human perception of reality. If social media can do that, imagine what an AI can do. It's enough to make you question, what's real? What's true? What isn't true? You can no longer know for sure what or who to trust.
Yes appreciate but how much are you making now?? From new skill
At the warehouse I was making $18/hr. My first analyst job was $25/hr, and my current job is about 70k a year. (All US currency). Not the highest salary, but there are other benefits like getting to work from home, spend more time with family, etc. Hope that helps!
@@almodovarj2 thanks for reaching out and being honest.
really good explanation! Thanks Josh.
Glad it was helpful. Appreciate you watching. 🙏🏽
I will be 31 soon and just started learning to code. I feel like no matter good GPT is going to be, there is always that point where human coder is needed. As AI involve, coding will also evolve.
I agree. I think it will always be an in demand skill, at least for the foreseeable future. I mean, coding used to be done manually on punched cards, and after all the advances we've had, coding is more relevant than ever. Like you said, I think the field will just continue to evolve.
Great strategic advice Josh
Bro, I was coming home from work today on my motorcycle and I thought about searching for a video exactly about this and when I opened TH-cam the first video that appeared to me was yours, without me even having searched. thanks for this.
Glad to hear that my video had an impact! I appreciate you watching.
damn im really stuck in paralysis analysis, thx for your advices i really need this
I totally get it, it’s easy to fall into. Just pick a resource or a project and get to work! The only way to beat it is through action 💯
I have learn multiple skills with these techniques. Only we need dedicated 20 hrs . And nothing. My 1 hr daily book reading ongoing that give me immense knowledge. Thanks god whatever I have.🙏
Well done 👍
Thanks bro, I need this
Love this!! I am currently busy changing the trajectory of my life (ll sounds deep but i am graduating in 6 months and it just dawned on me that i have not learnt to code properly so starting my journey from scratch so i revitalize my coding muscle so i can technically change my life :) )
That’s awesome to hear. Congrats on graduating. You’ll definitely learn to code in no time. 💯 Keep up the good work.
"Pick one and dive in" - take this advice seriously and just commit to one or resource or learning medium at a time and you'll save yourself a lot of wasted time
Also, that focus and goal oriented towards understanding vs "will this look better than that" on a resume etc :)
do u have a discord? would like to seek advice
I don't have a discord but this is a great idea. I'll work on getting one set up. In the meantime you can sign up for my newsletter (link in the video description) and email me there. I'd be glad to offer some advice.
powerful content.. Subscribed , liked and activated notification.
