"Slow is Smooth. Smooth is Fast." I can absolutely relate to the points and arguments you mentioned. Keep it simple and take your time. In the words of ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu: "Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished."
As a software engineer with 5 years of professional experience, I can relate to this topic. Great approach, to taking things slow and not overcomplicating. Thanks for sharing @Marko!
Marko, I completely agree with you! I didn't somehow though about the ideas you're mentioning, now I've realized that it is the same for me - I feel joy 🙂
There is a big disconnect here , when it comes to real business and market. In the current climate of inflation and layoffs , everyone is under a lot of pressure to perform and work more fast to get things into production , meaning generate income for the company. Devs are not happy while coding hobby projects, they are unhappy working professionally. This is totally different than what has been said in this video
Hey thanks for the comment! I agree that the market is tough. Even working professionally, there is room to enjoy the coding itself, regardless of outside pressures. Just taking your mind off of things such as big abstractions and asking yourself: how would I solve this problem, if it was just for fun, could help you actually arrive at a nice solution even in the context of professional work.
You can find alternatives. Freelancing, smaller employers, living less lavishly and taking a pay cut. Only FAANG is having these huge layoffs because only FAANG could afford to overhire to that degree. There are other sectors that need skilled pros
@@withmarkowhat about if you are working with a codebase that has been built over years and it’s so abstract that you cannot go for your proposed KISS approach?
Slowing down is a good piece of advice. My work related [code] stress comes from two main areas - pressure to deliver in an ever decrease timespan and poorly defined or ever changing specifications. It results in having to redo things while working at a break neck speed constantly eventually leading to burnout. The analogy I use is laying the track while the train is moving!
I transformed my hobby into a full-time career. I used to do a lot of physical work back in the days, but I gradually taught myself programming. Over time, I found a company that allowed me to pursue dual studies, and now, after three years of hard work, I’m proud to be working as a full-time junior backend developer. While there are challenging days and moments of stress, I’m incredibly grateful that things have turned out the way I envisioned. What motivates me the most is the past, and the job that I used to do. My development journey has only just begun. Outside of work, I also create content and am building my own software business on the side. See you at the top guys! P.S: Hvala ti Marko na vremenu,trudu, i kontetu sto redovno pravis. Cista motivacija 🙌
Ouch. The over engineering part hit me. At least on my part it paid well because I'm already expecting that our client will underestimate the task then after a few months realized that it will actually be huge, good thing that I overthink when I set it up. What gives joy to me in coding is actually finding out that I can accomplish something that is quite impressive. It's huge because I don't even consider myself smart enough to be a dev.
Dude, I have no idea who you are, but your app in the description is exactly what I've been looking for and I'm pretty sure that wasn't the reason why your video was recommended to me 😂that app is cracked!
Stunning! Thanks for sharing your thoughts of joy as a developer (I can definitely relate to similar feelings, like formatting code manually while reviewing and slowing down with a cup of tea 😃)
Currently studying software development in school and gotta be real school makes it so boring😂 I’m now trying it at home cuz of school vacation and I enjoy it so much more I can work on the language I really want to and I can make my own ideas. That way I also found out I don’t know anything lmao I’m kinda starting from 0 but I love it so much more!
Hey! I graduated this year from HS with Comp Sci degree & from my exp. so far I can tell you, that whatever they taught you at school is useless. You need to teach yourself to code, create simple projects then upgrade them. Try new things, new languages. Don't be afraid.
I had a job were I had a queue of tasks planned for few months ahead. I had a job were a two days a week I did little to nothing. I've never learned so much staff as in second job, maybe because the first one was about creating more and more simple CRUD apps, nothing more
Recently i'm having a really hard time in my current job. because as large as the app we're working on is. developers did this and overly enjoyed writing their own straight code forgetting that other developers with a different mindset will work on. we ended up with a pile of inhomogeneous code that is really hard to maintain. i'm not saying it's a bad thing. all what i'm saying is. it's really fun to drive your car the way you like. but at the end of the day if you didn't stick with the traffic rules. you might end up hurting someone else.
Hi Marko, I really enjoy your satisfying videos, but I really wanted about how you built your career and how you started from zero to this level, maybe it's an idea for the next video!! Anyway, thank you so much for your effort, goodbye!
Hej pozdrav! Ukratko preselio sam se u Norvešku jer moja supruga dobila PhD poziciju u Oslu i onda smo se zajedno preselili zbog njenog posla 😃 kad sam već bio ovde recruiteri su me kontaktirali za razne firme u tom periodu.
i studied computer science in college and didn't enjoy programming in my computer science class. and i graduated with a cs degree and end up doing desktop support making 6 figures salary in nyc. as of today, if you ask me to program something from scratch, i won't be able to. i don't even remember how to write the code to print out "hello world" in c++. but now i want to go back into programming and really want to take the time to learn the in and out....how do i start or where do i begin w/o starting from scratch?
Looks like Swift to me. Also, Swift is an amazing language and indeed very pleasant to write. I write Rust these days, which is a notch more complex, but scales way better to a large code base.
I find it hard to enjoy anything about it after i suffered a burnout. Its been months since i coded something bigger and i dont know how to get back into it. I could say my first ever intention before i even started to code was desktop apps and games. Should i ignore all the job possibilities (in Serbia its mostly just web dev), and try doing what i first intended to do?
Are you recommending spaghetti code? Because I don't think the process of programming is supposed to be fun, I think idea to application is where there is beauty
80% Developers right now are the developers who chose to be the developers to land a job, money and the life style. People are stressed because they watch youtubers who has worked so hard to get their dream high paying jobs. 20% Devs are the one's who are passionate about their job and role they are into and they became developers because they dreamt of being one even though how much the hard work that has to put into be an software engineer/ Developer.
Your videos are always good to watch but I am not sure of the new direction of your videos...I personally enjoyed the realistic coding videos...the day in the life of a software dev and watching you code was therapeutic
Hi Marco, how are you? Previously, you told me that you are a back-end programmer. Now I am a back-end developer using .NET technology. I have a question for you. I learned that you are a programmer in Norway, and I want to know what is the most popular technology in back-end development in Norway and in Europe in general. Thank you. ❤
Bro said ... 'Find joy in thinking about your code' I am still laughing🤣🤣🤣🤣 Its like you finding peace during war ... the number of iterations alone when you refactor is dreadful
Hi, I'm a self-taught programming student living in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. Do you think it's possible to get a programming job without a university degree?
Learn fast ai, its free, get good at it and you get a job. I got a job just weeks after completing the course although it's now a few years ago. I would have never get to where I am today without it.
Hey Marko, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made. I was wondering if I could help you edit your highly engaging videos and thumbnails which will help your video to reach to a wider audience and increase your subscribers and viewers.Can we discuss about it ?
There is no joy in coding, or for a matter any other doing. There is no real joy in objects. All joy is from inside, from being, the subject. This joy is independent of anything but your own existence. It’s our true nature. Joy and love is the nature of consciousness. All real authentic spiritual schools, such as Buddhism or Advaita Vedanta will lead you this realization. And no… this is not religious, just common sense and logic.
Wow, this has to be one of the deeper comments I ever got 😃 thanks for sharing, I do agree that at the end, we can’t prove the existence of anything outside the subject. Still I do believe humans are hardwired through evolution to enjoy simple activities such as tidying a line of code, or neatly folding or arranging things in the real world, and it’s this kind of simple joy that I wanted to describe in the video 😃
Hey Marko , really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with more Quality Editing in your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail and also help you with the overall youtube strategy and growth ! Pls let me know what do you think ?

what language do you use the most for your job/hobby project? and what are all the languages you are proficient at?
