I'm using the Keychron K3 with mint switches, and now I kinda don't want any other switch (I tried one of those "switch testers" before I got my Keychron). But these switches don't come for any cyboard-like keyboards :( Not to mention that all these curved, tilted keyboards are all 300+ bucks - a bit too pricey for what they do, IMO.

Im working towards becoming a Game Developer since i Had an accident , so i cant Work in my original proffesion anymore. I know the stuggles you describe very well, showing how to work around them was very helpful. Great Video and have a sub!❤

very cool, im a little anxious to not follow long tutorials since i dont like being stuck on some simple thing for 3 days, but I see the point

everyone's got a different path, but i think the thing i did that pushed me past the fearful aspirant stage into a person with the capability to become competent with new things was taking on a project that was way more than i was ready for, but was also very interesting to me. that project for me was building a modular launch guidance system for kerbal space program written in KOS. the documentation was a little sparse compared to what i was used to and it'd been years since i'd done physics so it was an uphill battle, coupled with the only way to test if things were working was to perform a multi-minute launch to orbit in ksp itself. it took several weeks but after going through that i've never again felt so lost and overwhelmed when teaching myself new tech. most important thing i learned from that was how to break big problems down, it's not just useful for software and game development but in so many other areas of life

This is very inspiring as I'm just starting in game dev

For me, breaking up tasks doesn't do anything for me. Persuing something I'm passionate about is. A lot of what prime has as well is experience. If you're working on something you enjoy and care about you'll find that you improve throughout your career. After over 20 years as a programmer I still find that I'm a noticably better programmer than I was 5 years ago Another things is taking initiative to dive into whatever technical things need to be done. You'll learn a lot of useful things and be a more valuable member of the team. A lot of how he does things comes down to experience. Avoiding inheritance or not prematurely abstracting are examples of things learned from experience. I've also found it useful to tackle problems in the editor and compile and run things as I'm developing a solution. Until you have something that works you don't really understand the complexity.

Good luck with appliance to citizenship!

I always start a new project with the simplest of questions: what can I do in it, how can I do it, etc. In the context of games (which I also do) -- the question would be “How can I make a character move this way but not that way?”. And so on and so forth. Answering previous questions leads to new ones -- including “does this need to be redone so it doesn't break in this scenario”. And with all this, I only occasionally move away from the monitor to take another look at the global picture of the whole project in my head, to compare feelings.

Nice video, any plan to have a discord server?

this became 3:58 dark

hey you, you are too kind and I really appreciate this nice video. I did not react to this because I would take 1 hour to finish... :) Again you are too kind

You are not TOM! Next!

Excellent video quality. I like your format and message. Thanks for making this. I hope you get bigger, 100k views and only 1.68k subscribers is a crime.

On a serious note, the "effort spent" argument is hogwash. It is genes that define 90%, and this is especially true in case of a charismatic vlogger like ThePrimeagen. He is a fast and passionatte talker and obviously an extremely fast thinker, he played masterfully his ADHD (genetic) traits for fast context switching and extreme apparent extrovercy. He's just born different.

imagine using an IT vlogger as a self-esteem benchmark. lol.

I like Primeagen, but if you look at some of his video's (i.e. on serverless) you see he's just a very good programmer but lacks knowledge and understanding on a lot of other topics, which in the end is normal!

imo reading the friendly manual is one of the most important skills a programmer can have

I use all his styles to program Mustache Shouting "Let's Go" Using Vim input in everything including car

These influencer types are all smart, but calling them geniuses is a stretch.

About 20 years of age. Oh, I meant 100 Masculine Charisma

great video

Im living by that Sherlock Holmes quote, that goes something like this: "What one man invents, the other can discover". Learn how to learn, very important skill to pick up in programming.

It's not only time, it is also hard work that you have to remember. He mentioned grinding as hell in his younger years: at work and after work, sometimes staying all night at some problem; building side projects, learning new things.

It's the difference between "peeing while running" Finnish way to say something is done "juosten kusten", meaning when you don't concentrate on anything properly enough times and each session long enough, it will be "juosten kusten", not good.

He is trash lol.

That golden boy meme though 😭😂

It is the gigachad moustache, to be fair.

That prime guy clearly knows his shit, better than the average developer but he is also nothing extraordinary or remarkable

thanks man ❤

0:22 That legal system seems a bit hostile to employees. In the country I live, any clause in an employment contract that falls outside the law is null and void. And the law says no more than 20 work days notice. So, a contract may stipulate that you have to give below 20 days notice, but never more than 20 days. For leadership roles, the amount of days increases to 45.

"I dominated it", "I crushed it", "I made it my b*tch" I like how people talk about solving problems as "I wasn't bottom this time in my life, making something work really made me feel like I was the bully for once" good for you bud..

Well, this is a kind of homeopathic question. Before trying to understand what makes him a good programmer, you should first explain what on Earth you smoked to eventually come to the conclusion he’s a good programmer. Who said he was a good programmer? Are you just basing your opinion on his claims? On the Netflix experience? Have you really read through some of his online code and had a debate with him regarding technical topics? What makes a good programmer to me - besides, many, many other things - is to react positively to contradictions and different opinions, trait he’s proven many times to completely lack. Also, many opinions he has on various topics are just surface opinions and clearly he lacks enough experience in many fields and topics - it’s a regular fiasco with him on his videos where he starts drawing things on his virtual board trying to explain things he doesn’t completely understand, just in surface - I still remember when he mentioned Arc / Mutex / clone() in Rust, or how a Vec is laid on the stack and heap. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but I really dislike that kind of authority argument “Eh, that guy is super famous and he’s programming! He used to work at Netflix as a Software Engineer so he must be an amazing programmer!” I couldn’t tell whether he’s a bad programmer or a good programmer, I haven’t read enough code of his to judge, but from the few I’ve read, and more specifically, his arguments, it’s not glorious at all. The fact that most of his videos are just gimmicks and reading articles in front of the camera with a condescent tone - feeling like he knows better than anyone else, and the fact that outside of the Twitch community, people either have no clue about him, or a bad opinion of his technical abilities… well, yeah.

How to become someone like primagen. Step 1: take meth...

You learned that you can't master C++, even after 30 years.

ah yes good old imposter syndrome

(1@27)))

Its a positive way of thinking, is seeing the problem, caring about it and asking life what this will teach you.

Great content sir. Keep that education and motivation parts! :)

I just eiscovered your channel thanks to yt algo and the prime time that I've been following since an year. Great content!

The key takeaway is to know your limit, and be comfortable knowing how uncomfortable pushing it. Basically, that's his final trait. Like I tried to build Elastic search from 0 using Lucene and a couple of libraries, does it suck? Of course(it chokes my ram to oblivion), and do I now know about the internal workings of Elastic? absolutely

Prime is coming...

Hi Prime :)

somebody send this video to prime

He just won a competition at Defcon. Yeah, he is that good

Prime's git repo is utter dogshit.

The Primeagen: "I agree"

Primeagen talks more than me. Thats the difference. But I do like him. A buddy of mine said "that boy can yap"

tsoding > primeagen

It's the mustache.

Nice tip. What programming language is that?
