pov: releasing your startup as a 21 y/o tech founder
At 21, I launched my startup, Empor, straight out of my dorm room.
This is what my day looks like-balancing intense coding sessions, startup meetings, and figuring out how to turn big ideas into a real business. It's not always smooth, but that's the reality of being a young founder.

hey can you make detail video about what is actually empor? and how the empor is working?
Thanks for the daily dose of inspiration Erik! You're awesome
Ill start now hope ill make it before u get ur 100k
congrats bro this is huge! will check it out!!
It’s pretty funny that the TH-cam tutorials for building a portfolio is what hasn’t made sense to me as being practical. It’s gotta be unique to show you’ve got what it takes to think independently and not just follow some steps given to you
Can anyone please comment/explain : Isn't it a good practice to separate model entity from UserDetails implementation? I mean, instead of implementing UserDetails from User entity, wouldn't it be better to use for example, another class, "AuthUser" which implements UserDetails and use User entity there? If so, how can we do it?
Thank you Erik for your efforts! It is your first video that appears on my recommended list. I have watched it and it was quite helpful and stimulating! Subscribed!
Love to hear it!
watching you always motivates me bro
Love to hear it!
cant get hired without a degree..they dont care unless you have that
Congratulations! This was a lot of work!
Thank you!
w vid
Appreciate it
How's the mobile app coming along?
Work in progress… looking to bring in one or two mobile devs to help me out
@SWErikCodes I can do that. I work with React Native and Expo, Spring boot, ExpressJS, NextJs.
@solomonakinbiyi drop your resume in the url in the description 💪
@@SWErikCodes Thank you, sent!
hey bro what are your tech stack thankiu!!
Spring boot NextJs with typescript and react native with expon
I code with Spring boot and NextJs as well, I love what you're doing. Let's connect if you need a team member
Congrats bro🎉❤
You have no idea how excited this made me 😊 i just started learning to code abd already planning a startup i will learn more and more to become very good
Haha love to hear it
hey! Congratulations on releasing empor! I just have a question are u using a cms for managing the content inside the homepage ?
Thank you! And not sure what u mean
Congrats 🎉
gotta surround myself with more people like you, love the work ethic
Appreciate it
I love your journey mate. This is awesome! Also, united is more cooked than this job market lol
Bro they’re so bad 😭
Man, I am so grateful I found the road-map website you showed! I learned PostgreSQL using the road-map there, and also learned Spring Boot just by making projects-not a single tutorial! Just documentation and asking AI for different concepts, ways to write code, and better decisions. And honestly, it was a game-changer for me. I then learned React and Ant Design for UI and made a full-stack manga (comics) website, and then a full-stack hospital system (I'm originally a nursing student). Honestly, it's been a great journey that started so simply by just learning from a road-map. 🚀 Many thanks, and I hope you the best! 😊
Also congrats on your internship!
Absolutely love to hear it!!
Are you planning to go worldwide, e.g. to Poland? Greetings
Eventually!
Congratulations 🥂
Thank you!
Congratulations dude. i've been following you journey from the start and I am very inspired to show up everyday and just do what I do. Wish you all the best.🎉🎉🎉
Love to hear it! Thanks

@chrishh2400 got you
what about the mobile app for empor you were talking about bro?
In progress! That’s mostly what I’m firing for
@ Man you the best fr, I’m currently working on an app, and I’m in the design phase right now. I hope to make more progress on the project and share updates with you along the way. You’re such an inspiration, for real.
Means a lot to hear 🙏
Congratulations on releasing empor! Hope you'll get lots of use and support
Thank you!
Amazing job dude I’ve been following your journey, and I love watching your videos. Keep up the great work!!
Appreciate it so much 🙏
Started my first internship as a cloud engineer this spring thanks to all your advice!
Absolutely love to hear it bro!
Thanks for sharing your journey and kudos from France !
France is crazy 😭 that’s so far, love the support
Excited for you man
Appreciate it!
Also what adidas pants are those lol i need one
They’re the adidas firebird track pants easily one of my favourites rn
Love you bro. Keep up the good work! I am building a Spring boot backend rn watching your JWT tutorial lol
Haha love to hear that
Hey! I am a 1st year student who is studying comp sci. You motivate me to grind classes and land internships. I even started watching spring boot tutorial videos by Amigoscode after you recommended those, and I will make some personal projects with the new tech stack! After I land an internship for this summer(hopefully), I will make my vlog too! Mark my words!!
Haha love to hear it, good luck

you are not faang material lol
And yet I got into Faang with no referral 🤨
@@SWErikCodes 3.0 business web dev ai andy lol... you probably linkedin farm. people who do this weird social media stuff may get in, doesn't mean they're good. you will not be faang material, homie. not like this
@ you post 24/7 about software instead of actually creating software/doing anything. they're going to get you to promote them and talk about your good experience to spread propaganda about the CS market lol... end goal shouldn't be to work FOR faang. it should be to become that tier of developer
@@w1l1 Brodie he made a whole marketplace for students at his university. What have you built? Cuz it's only the jealous ass mfs who be talking shit like this.
Dam that was hella information all at once. I want to begin... But I am not sure where to begin.... I suppose I would have to learn code first ... Currently I am using freecodecamp. .... Should I be creating a portfolio as I go along or just wait until I finish the certificate(s) ?? And do you suggest schooling ? Sorry, I need answers, my life is nothing right now.
One of the few content creators that don’t fear monger or gate keep. 🤝 congrats on the internship
Nice sleeper build bro. 👌 Keep it solid
This video inspired me. Your projects got me brainstorming on what I can potentially build for a portfolio. Thanks dude!
Glad to hear it!
I'm learning to code should I stop because I'm seeing that AI will take over programming
Hell na bro, AI can make a program but AI can't perfect it,
Nope, Ai will never replace programmers. I agree that it can make a code but not like a human can.
The best you could do is incorporate ai into your own personal projects.
Hey Erik! Im planning on building a similar project to this, but for UFC fighters. I was wondering if you frequently update your database to have up-to-date player data. After UFC events, ranking, records, and activity status can change and I was wondering how I can keep the database up to date.
You can set up some sort of polling to scrape data from a website once a week. Or you can find an API to get data from haha that’ll be easier
@ Appreciate the advice!
loking for github repo that list of internship oppurtunities specifically in bengaluru coimbatore if you know pleae share
Unfortunately, I don’t have any resources like that specifically in those locations

This Leetcode nonsense has to stop. You new cs graduates with hours a day to grind away doing these insane riddles, which have little to do with real, actual work, have made this rat race so much worse. I am an automation tester with 5 years of experience, yet I get made to do these same stupid riddles and stumble at this round. It is totally unnecessary for my line of work. So frustrating…
I am even surprised people think if it happens will be software engineers first, with AI agents most jobs will get taken software engineer or not. First job chatgpt took was copyright btw
why do you refuse to use @RequiredArgsConstructor 😂.. anyways, really great video!
Nice, I am changing from Java to C programming as I want to get into Embedded Systems. Following a similar path as you are.
gems on gems. this is real value right here! thank you bro. keep the transparency. it's authentic and influential!!
Hi Erik, I'm thinking about picking up language for backend development. I have some experience in cs. What would you recommend? Python or Java?. I tried them but confused to pick up exactly one language
Java for sure
