Programming is like a roller coaster of emotions. You go from feeling like an idiot to feeling like a genius over and over again until you finally learn that you’ll eventually figure your problems out, and when you do, it doesn’t mean you’re a genius, and when you’re still struggling, it doesn’t mean you’re dumb. It took me 4 years to figure that out, but here I am, still loving to write code!
I started learning coding and I found it to be easy. But I was bored to tears. I felt coding to be as boring as writing essays and I just started. I thought to myself do I really want to do this for 20 years? HELL NO! I would rather tile a bathroom. I can see how coding a guidance computer for a space probe/launch vehicle would be fun and rewarding but 99.99% of programming is not that.
@@mrwhitesam6917 Sometimes it is. It depends on what you are coding. But coding is more boring than it is hard and that is probably why it pays well. Because few people want to do it much less spend the decades to get really good at it. If you are content with coding than good for you more power too you but I think it is excruciatingly boring. If I had to code for 10+ years I would lose the will to live.
@@Nolimitation1 lmao I dont know really what it feels to code a lot but I am a very big introvert and being learning to code for one year, so I prefer being more by myself and people I know and also people say you are always learning new things no matter what you do and you will get stuck a lot so I think its alright.

im a "late bloomer". When i took comp sci my freshman year, it was arguably the worst learning experience of my life. I hated not immediately knowing the answer to things, for me to code for hours on end and to get 20+ error messages, not understanding the code im writing half the time. My professor's teaching style really didn't help either; his intention was to get us to solve problems on our own, but he would give us minimal information then chuck us off the deep end. When i finished the 2 courses i told myself i would NEVER code again. I approached coding on my own about a month ago, now 3 years later. Using my own process, i've begun to fall in love with learning again, and even though im doing this as a hobby, i can see myself not quitting anytime soon. It clicked, finally. Sometimes its also not just about how badly you want to do it, but the environment you put yourself in while learning it. My class was constant pressure from the get-go to people who never "hello world"'d in their life. When i approached it now, i just let myself be. If i felt the want to go and toy around with learning, i did it. Fast forward a month and i probably made more progress learning code in this singular month than i did over 2 semesters, all because i let my curiosity drive the learning, not a grade. I probably got a bit off topic, but the points you made in the video really are accurate. Sometimes youre not made for it, but i also wanted to thrown in my own loop: sometimes youre just not in the right environment mentally to learn it. College has made me hate subjects i grew up loving, and with coding, even made me swear it off for years. To everyone out there who are struggling with what you thought you were made for: take your experience learning a class or subject with a grain of salt, you'll be surprised how much more you learn if you let your interest take the wheel, rather than a grade. The less you worry about a grade, the better off youll be
This is exactly what I need. Thanks so much for your input. I have the same problem - my professor expects too much, doesn't explain anything and just gets frustrated when we take too long, solves it for us and then moves on. It's so frustrating.

Love the fact that you linked enjoyment of building physical objects to enjoyment of building digital projects. I have ADHD, only found out in 40's and one of the typical traits of people with ADHD is they like the satisfaction of seeing the fruits of their labour. I never had such a reward in any job so far, and considering a career change it was between cabinet maker and developer. There are more similarities in these jobs than are immediately obvious.
I found I had ADHD inattentive type at 24. I'm 27 now and I found out that tech is the best career path for me because it works best with my learning style and personal traits and characteristics. I going back to school to get into a trade program for IT. I haven't decided on which field of IT I want to do. I just know something in tech. Phillip are you currently a programmer? Is that your title. Would you say it aligns with your learning challenges?
Nice video. I was told by my senior in office that coding is not my cup of tea and I should try something else as a career and I was learning to code at that time being fresher which really hurt me and made me into thinking that should I learn to code or not and I gave up.my biggest mistake that I listened to him and didn't continue learning🥺. By now I would have learnt so many things. I will start again. Wish me luck
Just remember that it's never too late to change direction and pursue whatever it is that you want to do! I find it crazy how we're told that we need to know what we want to do for the rest of our lives at such a young age. Sorry that you told that it wasn't for you but there's still time to make that change now, you got this!
I started watching your videos since February this year when feeling stucked in my career and wanted to get into software engineering field. Your videos are so informative and encouraging. Thank you so much Dorian 😊
I studied maths in university and could not for the life of me find employment related to that field. So as a "last resort" of sorts I applied for a position in a software firm. I've been working there for 9 months now and even though the work climate is stellar in every aspect, the actual act of coding itself, studying unfamiliar things all day and constantly feeling like I'm the dumbest person in the team (which, in regards to technical prowess, I absolutely am) makes me loathe my job. I find it harder and harder to concentrate and I habe to read most code multiple times even just to get the basic gist of what's going on and the complex interplay between different puzzle pieces is confusing me to no end. But not in a good way where I enjoy tackling these things. It's just draining my life force away and I become more and more unhappy each day. But I also have not the slightest clue what other field of work I could pursue instead. So for the time being I'm stuck and have to watch my mental health decline further and further.
I’m so sorry to hear about that. I know how hard it is to be stuck in a job you hate. Have you looked into careers involving math that are projected to be in demand? Surely there has to be something you can do. Or Perhaps you don’t want use math anymore and there is something else that interests you that you haven’t considered? I truly hope things work out for you. For me, once I lose intrinsic motivation, it all falls apart. Taking care of your mental health is paramount to work. Be patient and kind to yourself. Best of luck to you!
Us human beings were not meant to be hooked to a machine all day. There's more to life than looking at a screen for 10 hours a day. I hope you find what you really love to do. Best of luck man.
Watching the video confirms it would be a good sector for me. I enjoy being alone anyway, but when you said about the challenges and not solving first time that's what I enjoy. It frustrates me which makes me want to solve it more, gettin that satisfaction when your code finally works
Outdated comment, but man you r such an inspiration! Just started coding 2 months ago and absolutely fell in love with it! Your videos guided me greatly!
Good video. Liked how you touched on the idea of getting used to being frustrated from not knowing the answer. I'm currently going through the Odin course, and just realized the projects and exercises are intentionally built in a way that forces you to research and ask around on the Discord BEFORE looking at the solution. Frustration is a part of the process, and it means you're really putting effort into figuring it out versus hopping on Stack and asking for a solution immediately (we won't name names 😂). As far as computer sitting is concerned, I have the gamer bg as well, but I time my productivity with pormodos and go out for a walk at least once or twice to refresh. Once I finish and get some income, I eventually aspire to work on my craft on beaches and waterfronts. The scenery helps with the creative process.
Sitting at a desk all day?? Or working outdoors in the hot summer heat or installing electrical wiring on the coldest winter day of the year. Or driving semi trucks sitting behind a steering wheel for 11 hours a day. I've done all that and I can say... it's only a job to pay your bills. Find happiness in whatever it is you do for a living. Make the best of whatever work situation you find yourself in. Find something to laugh about, find fun in the connection to co-workers. And yes Even if you are self employed at some point it will start to feel the same. You have to love what you do for a living.
I've grown up with computers and have a strong gaming background. Just started learning software development in school, 5 months in out of 2 years and I really doubt If this is what I really want to do. Most of the times I dont have the motivatsion to do all those courses or write endless code which I don't understand at all. But there really Isn't anything else that interests me more either. Most of the times I'm just staring at the code and wondering If that's what I really want to do with my life.
Do it consistently until you find something else. If you hate it, your mind will jump to what you’d rather be doing. If that something is a self destructive habit, maybe consider sucking it up. If you realize you’d rather be building a photo album for a picture company maybe you should put down coding.
I haven't dropped my studies yet, I think I'll finish with last year and then see what will happen. I haven't really practiced stuff that much on my own so I'm not sure what'll happen afterwards.
I hope coding is right for me. I like dealing with numbers and data instead of people. I could sit all day in front of a computer doing my own thing. I like routine and repetition. I like a challenge and researching. Is coding for me?
This basically just explained why programming is literally perfect for me lol. Top to bottom. My happy place is the PC. I enjoy the mental challenge of focusing on problems and trying to solve them. And above all, I REALLY love building things, especially if I have creative input. I'm introverted but good enough with people to be a good team player. I really want to get into the field and have been learning/building stuff, but very intimidated by the process of getting the first interview, first job etc.
Not sure if coding would be for me. The part I’d struggle with would probably be the frustration of feeling like I’m not learning anything lol. But I’m looking at coding mainly because I’ve been curious about digital marketing which benefits from learning the basics of html/css.
I like sittinh in one placr the whole day.. that's what i do during weekends.. I like solving problems no matter how much it takes.. i love the idea of building stuff.. I love learning and want to learn for the rest of my life.. i love researching too...
As much as the domain of programming excites me. I think deep down I know that it's just excitement and admiration for the people who have made such awesomeness possible. From the first computer to freaking robots, I admire the minds of people who have led this thing up until here. I think I liked the idea of being one of them and pushing my mind to do great things like them, but its time to accept that this life is not for me. And I would very much like to be a coder if I see it fitting, but right now, I think I don't see myself living this life. But it just amazes me at the talent of the people who have made all this possible
Well all of these points are spot on and i just started learning coding yesterday from a place called Khan academy and they were just teaching stuff like intergs and it was really been a while since i have been into something and i didn't even noticed few hours just passed but i was actually in animation before and i loved building animations but it is also looking to be pretty interesting so i Don't know if coding is something for me but i hope atleast try it for a while now before i decide if i wanna make coding my career.
😂😂 Felt like bro was talking directly to me. I'm definitely meant to be a programmer/coder. bah. I'm a jack of all trades. I love most aspects of our 3D world. Mechanical. Electrical. but also love computers and all their components that allow functionality. Programming really woke me up though, I wanted to know how things world. Now, after many MANY videos, I have a better grasp.
I cannot sit behind a desk or in front of a computer for very long, but I love problem solving, researching, long periods of mental work and the idea of expertise. To anyone reading this, do you know a career that can provide those things while letting me move about?
Most of the white collar jobs now a days requires to sit in front of the computer, I am a mechanical engineer working on ANSYS software for analysis, though we don't do coding but it is an application software we often sit Infront, we do very little bit of coding for automation of our work. I agree it is less compared to developer, also the other side of the jobs which don't need much sitting are professors, HR and Marketing/sales. My cousin is into marketing he enjoyed travelling a lot when he was young but in mid 30s he is frustrated of frequent travel. Every kind of job has it's own pro's and con's.
I live in a country where working in a cubical is considered a top-tier job, even if your job is simply writing documents or something, while working outside (in a resturant, for example) is frowned upon even if you're literally a manager or making a good income, they view them as "illiterate and ignorant" because it's not a "stable" job and "humiliating" they think if you work in a cubical you have a way better status than the outdoor jobs. So basically you get a lot of respect, a better and wider and more positive recgonition and even viewed upon the females as a successful person with a lot of money. Tl;dr i gotta do it cause i have no choice
@Optic Flow How do you go against society itself? if you find that answer, please tell me, I'm quite literally looking for that answer since I was in middle school
I just turned 25 and I am dealing with a quarter life crisis. I have a cushy job as a virtual receptionist which I HATE but it pays my bills and I cannot find anything that is as sustainable. I am looking for anything I can learn to keep making the amount I am making now or more. I want to escape dealing with people all day and do something more practical. I am not sure if this is something I want.. I am currently dealing with the pain of finding WHAT I WANT TO DO because I cannot make a living making music.
Programming and it's learning resources are very accessible on the internet. You can find out if you enjoy the workflow pretty quickly(or find out if it's bearable). I'd say give it a shot, the only thing it requires is time and attention
My parents want me to get a degree and I was thinking about CIS, but I know it’s not for me. I like being able to “build” things, but I don’t like having to be sedentary staring at a screen. I think CS is cool, but it’s never really been something I wanted to peruse. I don’t know what to do now :/ I am leaning towards integrated studies with a focus in CS/CIS vs CIS degree, but then again if it turns out I actually like coding it would pretty much be too late to switch majors. I’m an incoming junior at the moment.
I guess the only fear I have is that I don't feel capable enough to solve problems fast enough on my own while working somewhere... Not to mention if it's something bigger like an application... But it is like you say, you feel dumb and then smart.
I am a mechanical engineer from India 2017 passed out, I have 5 years of experience in the oil and gas industry, But now I want to switch in data science in Canada is good for me
I love the thought of being a personal coder/programmer but I'm not the brightest when it comes to problem solving, im not even thinking about money, I just want to learn it as a hobby in the line of early linus Torvalds learning path... but I love the idea of creating small pieces of software that do cool things even if they don't help me career wise but I guess I'm just dumb...😢
But does learning how to code have to be with getting a job? What if I want to start a tech company without having to hire someone to code for me? Can that be one reason to learn how to code?
Im a graphic designer, I use my computer a lot and I go trough many challenges with the clientes… and I kinda like to solve them and learn some new skills with the programs. Is coding something for me?🤔 any graphic designers here who codes now?
Thank you for the realistic approach, videos like this are needed. What kind of problems do software developers have to solve? Are they very difficult, like do you need a really high IQ to succeed? Also, could you give us one example of some problem to solve?
I'm a 3D sculptor, weird how many of these apply to me just because I'm already sitting behind my desk 24-hours solving how anatomy works. Coding seems perfect for me although I've given up once already because of bad timing.
Hey, great vid. I have a question tho': how do you learn software programming if you already work 8+ hours( from 900 to 1800 hours) in front of the computer but on finance and after those hours you feel like your concentration goes down the drain with almost any other field of expertise you'd like to master or learn. Sometimes not even feeling like gaming or doing stuff just finishing work, doing some sports, eating and going to sleep just to get back on the grind stone the next day . This means you have maybe almost 2 hours a day which are arguably productive and some maybe 4h/day in the weekend ( because one might like to think they are not a husk and also need to take care of their mental health and family). Could this be achieved with learning only for almost 18h/ week at best ? Thx
If you have the time, the dedication and the interest then yeah it's possible. You'll have to make the most of your time though, and you'll want your learning path to be clear and defined. I'd recommend following The Odin Projects curriculum if you want to get into web development. If that doesn't work for you, then there are other options
i feel like coding is something id like to pursue but the only thing holding me back is that ive never been particularly math savvy, is this a sign i shouldnt even waste my time?
How prevalent are remote jobs where you can realistically stay home most of the time? Or are the vast majority of positions requiring you to actually come in and sit in a cubicle?
If you are willing to work for free, then coding is for you. If you want to have money and make a living from coding, then coding is not for you. Software Development is oversaturated with people. To the point where it is impossible for somebody to hire you. You can check, each job posting has between hundreds to thousands of applications.
Thanks for watching! Let me know what are some things you think you need to consider when deciding if coding and programming is right for you?

It can be very hard on your body sitting at your computer all day and after years of doing it myself my body is starting to feel it.... Good luck finding something that works for you!
Love the fact that you linked enjoyment of building physical objects to enjoyment of building digital projects. I have ADHD, only found out in 40's and one of the typical traits of people with ADHD is they like the satisfaction of seeing the fruits of their labour. I never had such a reward in any job so far, and considering a career change it was between cabinet maker and developer. There are more similarities in these jobs than are immediately obvious.
not too late to start a programming career in my 40's? im considering..
lol so ironic because I have ADHD and have literally been like “should I make custom furniture or become a developer?”
@@francisb7972 The only time it’s too late to start anything is when you don’t start at all. Go for it. 🙌🏼
I found I had ADHD inattentive type at 24. I'm 27 now and I found out that tech is the best career path for me because it works best with my learning style and personal traits and characteristics. I going back to school to get into a trade program for IT. I haven't decided on which field of IT I want to do. I just know something in tech. Phillip are you currently a programmer? Is that your title. Would you say it aligns with your learning challenges?
I hope you see this, I need guidance.
Why is this guy so underrated? He has good content, subscribe people.
Thank you very much for your kind words! Much appreciated!
@@DorianDevelops No problem sir, hope you have a good day ahead :)
Nice video. I was told by my senior in office that coding is not my cup of tea and I should try something else as a career and I was learning to code at that time being fresher which really hurt me and made me into thinking that should I learn to code or not and I gave up.my biggest mistake that I listened to him and didn't continue learning🥺. By now I would have learnt so many things. I will start again. Wish me luck
Just remember that it's never too late to change direction and pursue whatever it is that you want to do! I find it crazy how we're told that we need to know what we want to do for the rest of our lives at such a young age. Sorry that you told that it wasn't for you but there's still time to make that change now, you got this!
I started watching your videos since February this year when feeling stucked in my career and wanted to get into software engineering field. Your videos are so informative and encouraging. Thank you so much Dorian 😊
I really hate failing especially when I have been thought before or read about it
But I enjoy learning
I studied maths in university and could not for the life of me find employment related to that field. So as a "last resort" of sorts I applied for a position in a software firm. I've been working there for 9 months now and even though the work climate is stellar in every aspect, the actual act of coding itself, studying unfamiliar things all day and constantly feeling like I'm the dumbest person in the team (which, in regards to technical prowess, I absolutely am) makes me loathe my job. I find it harder and harder to concentrate and I habe to read most code multiple times even just to get the basic gist of what's going on and the complex interplay between different puzzle pieces is confusing me to no end. But not in a good way where I enjoy tackling these things. It's just draining my life force away and I become more and more unhappy each day.
But I also have not the slightest clue what other field of work I could pursue instead. So for the time being I'm stuck and have to watch my mental health decline further and further.
I’m so sorry to hear about that. I know how hard it is to be stuck in a job you hate.
Have you looked into careers involving math that are projected to be in demand? Surely there has to be something you can do. Or Perhaps you don’t want use math anymore and there is something else that interests you that you haven’t considered?
I truly hope things work out for you. For me, once I lose intrinsic motivation, it all falls apart. Taking care of your mental health is paramount to work. Be patient and kind to yourself.
Best of luck to you!
How about data science? It involved stats and more maths too. Of course it will include business.
Us human beings were not meant to be hooked to a machine all day. There's more to life than looking at a screen for 10 hours a day. I hope you find what you really love to do. Best of luck man.
@{return -1;} I am facing the same situation , are u still in same phase or u started getting the coding
Watching the video confirms it would be a good sector for me. I enjoy being alone anyway, but when you said about the challenges and not solving first time that's what I enjoy. It frustrates me which makes me want to solve it more, gettin that satisfaction when your code finally works
I've literally watched these types of videos on and off for over a year. LITERALLY the most perfect video explaining this question. Thank you so much.
Outdated comment, but man you r such an inspiration! Just started coding 2 months ago and absolutely fell in love with it! Your videos guided me greatly!
Good video. Liked how you touched on the idea of getting used to being frustrated from not knowing the answer. I'm currently going through the Odin course, and just realized the projects and exercises are intentionally built in a way that forces you to research and ask around on the Discord BEFORE looking at the solution. Frustration is a part of the process, and it means you're really putting effort into figuring it out versus hopping on Stack and asking for a solution immediately (we won't name names 😂). As far as computer sitting is concerned, I have the gamer bg as well, but I time my productivity with pormodos and go out for a walk at least once or twice to refresh. Once I finish and get some income, I eventually aspire to work on my craft on beaches and waterfronts. The scenery helps with the creative process.
Sitting at a desk all day?? Or working outdoors in the hot summer heat or installing electrical wiring on the coldest winter day of the year. Or driving semi trucks sitting behind a steering wheel for 11 hours a day. I've done all that and I can say... it's only a job to pay your bills. Find happiness in whatever it is you do for a living. Make the best of whatever work situation you find yourself in. Find something to laugh about, find fun in the connection to co-workers. And yes Even if you are self employed at some point it will start to feel the same. You have to love what you do for a living.
We learn constantly everyday, specially as a gamer. Play an MMO you're constantly learning.
I decided to pursue coding! I always loved it and everything you said in this video is right for me. Thanks for making this video 😀
How's it going 7 months later?
@@ZaynBrando He died of boredom
I have bad ADHD and I constantly make "careless" mistakes and I feel that I would be bad at coding because of it
Amazing. Clean, fun to watch and SO educational. Great job! Thanks you so much!!!!
I've grown up with computers and have a strong gaming background. Just started learning software development in school, 5 months in out of 2 years and I really doubt If this is what I really want to do. Most of the times I dont have the motivatsion to do all those courses or write endless code which I don't understand at all. But there really Isn't anything else that interests me more either. Most of the times I'm just staring at the code and wondering If that's what I really want to do with my life.
That makes two of us. Still wondering if I should continue to pursue this path or not as I’m not sure what else I’d do if not this.
Do it consistently until you find something else. If you hate it, your mind will jump to what you’d rather be doing. If that something is a self destructive habit, maybe consider sucking it up. If you realize you’d rather be building a photo album for a picture company maybe you should put down coding.
Any updates? How’s coding going for you?
Update su
I haven't dropped my studies yet, I think I'll finish with last year and then see what will happen. I haven't really practiced stuff that much on my own so I'm not sure what'll happen afterwards.
I hope coding is right for me. I like dealing with numbers and data instead of people. I could sit all day in front of a computer doing my own thing. I like routine and repetition. I like a challenge and researching. Is coding for me?
this guy is a hidden gem
Wow! Really cool video. Perfectly structured, only important information and nice video editing. Big like!
"You're sitting in front of a computer all day, and that can be really hard."
But wait, that's the best part.....
For most people it's not, but if that's what floats your boat,all power to you.
This basically just explained why programming is literally perfect for me lol. Top to bottom. My happy place is the PC. I enjoy the mental challenge of focusing on problems and trying to solve them. And above all, I REALLY love building things, especially if I have creative input. I'm introverted but good enough with people to be a good team player. I really want to get into the field and have been learning/building stuff, but very intimidated by the process of getting the first interview, first job etc.
I hated school too and i love learning.. I feel like the school system failed us
Not sure if coding would be for me. The part I’d struggle with would probably be the frustration of feeling like I’m not learning anything lol. But I’m looking at coding mainly because I’ve been curious about digital marketing which benefits from learning the basics of html/css.
I like sittinh in one placr the whole day.. that's what i do during weekends.. I like solving problems no matter how much it takes.. i love the idea of building stuff.. I love learning and want to learn for the rest of my life.. i love researching too...
You blurred it out, but I could see you were playing Injustice 2 LOL. Your honest perspective helped out man, thank you.
Appreciate the practical nature of this video.
You’re super relatable. Glad I found this video!
As much as the domain of programming excites me. I think deep down I know that it's just excitement and admiration for the people who have made such awesomeness possible. From the first computer to freaking robots, I admire the minds of people who have led this thing up until here. I think I liked the idea of being one of them and pushing my mind to do great things like them, but its time to accept that this life is not for me. And I would very much like to be a coder if I see it fitting, but right now, I think I don't see myself living this life. But it just amazes me at the talent of the people who have made all this possible
I don’t have a lot of patience however I do like to learn about tech in general
Great content, man. I'm looking to learn how to code and your videos have been helpful.
I like your videos man. Keep it up
Thanks, will do!
Well all of these points are spot on and i just started learning coding yesterday from a place called Khan academy and they were just teaching stuff like intergs and it was really been a while since i have been into something and i didn't even noticed few hours just passed but i was actually in animation before and i loved building animations but it is also looking to be pretty interesting so i Don't know if coding is something for me but i hope atleast try it for a while now before i decide if i wanna make coding my career.
😂😂 Felt like bro was talking directly to me. I'm definitely meant to be a programmer/coder. bah. I'm a jack of all trades. I love most aspects of our 3D world. Mechanical. Electrical. but also love computers and all their components that allow functionality. Programming really woke me up though, I wanted to know how things world. Now, after many MANY videos, I have a better grasp.
I like money and I also like learning but I don’t like being cooped up in a confine space
Same here, I hate school but I enjoy learning
Thank you Dorian! I love you ❤️
To break plato's mushrooms will help to really take a step back and reflect on why you are doing it
I cannot sit behind a desk or in front of a computer for very long, but I love problem solving, researching, long periods of mental work and the idea of expertise. To anyone reading this, do you know a career that can provide those things while letting me move about?
Most of the white collar jobs now a days requires to sit in front of the computer, I am a mechanical engineer working on ANSYS software for analysis, though we don't do coding but it is an application software we often sit Infront, we do very little bit of coding for automation of our work. I agree it is less compared to developer, also the other side of the jobs which don't need much sitting are professors, HR and Marketing/sales. My cousin is into marketing he enjoyed travelling a lot when he was young but in mid 30s he is frustrated of frequent travel. Every kind of job has it's own pro's and con's.
Great video! Very helpful and honest
This channel is a gem!!!
This video was really helpful, thank you!
I live in a country where working in a cubical is considered a top-tier job, even if your job is simply writing documents or something, while working outside (in a resturant, for example) is frowned upon even if you're literally a manager or making a good income, they view them as "illiterate and ignorant" because it's not a "stable" job and "humiliating"
they think if you work in a cubical you have a way better status than the outdoor jobs. So basically you get a lot of respect, a better and wider and more positive recgonition and even viewed upon the females as a successful person with a lot of money.
Tl;dr i gotta do it cause i have no choice
You always have a choice, you just want to be comfortable. That's completely understandable.
@Optic Flow How do you go against society itself? if you find that answer, please tell me, I'm quite literally looking for that answer since I was in middle school
recently, i start learning programming and this video appears beside most of tutorials i watch. i don't know why youtube wants me to quit so early xD
Want to be a software engineer or a nurse so either way my life is going to be stressful 🙂
Candy crush taught me about stepping back from a problem and solving it later
I'm getting a standing desk
I want to learn coding as a hobby and possibly as a second income. But I don’t know where should I start.
I just turned 25 and I am dealing with a quarter life crisis. I have a cushy job as a virtual receptionist which I HATE but it pays my bills and I cannot find anything that is as sustainable. I am looking for anything I can learn to keep making the amount I am making now or more. I want to escape dealing with people all day and do something more practical. I am not sure if this is something I want.. I am currently dealing with the pain of finding WHAT I WANT TO DO because I cannot make a living making music.
Programming and it's learning resources are very accessible on the internet. You can find out if you enjoy the workflow pretty quickly(or find out if it's bearable). I'd say give it a shot, the only thing it requires is time and attention
My parents want me to get a degree and I was thinking about CIS, but I know it’s not for me.
I like being able to “build” things, but I don’t like having to be sedentary staring at a screen. I think CS is cool, but it’s never really been something I wanted to peruse. I don’t know what to do now :/
I am leaning towards integrated studies with a focus in CS/CIS vs CIS degree, but then again if it turns out I actually like coding it would pretty much be too late to switch majors. I’m an incoming junior at the moment.
I guess the only fear I have is that I don't feel capable enough to solve problems fast enough on my own while working somewhere... Not to mention if it's something bigger like an application... But it is like you say, you feel dumb and then smart.
I just tested it out and it really is not for everyone.
I am a mechanical engineer from India 2017 passed out, I have 5 years of experience in the oil and gas industry, But now I want to switch in data science in Canada is good for me
Programming is good but it becomes a nightmare when you have to fix things that you have never learned before
Everything you described after the honeymoon face is exactly what I want to do the rest of my life. Thanks for the info, great content.
I love the thought of being a personal coder/programmer but I'm not the brightest when it comes to problem solving, im not even thinking about money, I just want to learn it as a hobby in the line of early linus Torvalds learning path... but I love the idea of creating small pieces of software that do cool things even if they don't help me career wise but I guess I'm just dumb...😢
But does learning how to code have to be with getting a job?
What if I want to start a tech company without having to hire someone to code for me?
Can that be one reason to learn how to code?
Hi Dorian, Thanks bro for making videos about programing and web developement. May I ask what age you start coding?
Thanks for your guidance
Sounds like automotive diagnostics, learning never stops
thanks
I keep builing my portfolio
hopefully , I will switch career this year
Im a graphic designer, I use my computer a lot and I go trough many challenges with the clientes… and I kinda like to solve them and learn some new skills with the programs. Is coding something for me?🤔 any graphic designers here who codes now?
I am also a graphic designer and I would also like to know if programming is for me, my passion is designing and I don't get bored
Thank you for the realistic approach, videos like this are needed.
What kind of problems do software developers have to solve? Are they very difficult, like do you need a really high IQ to succeed? Also, could you give us one example of some problem to solve?
I'm a 3D sculptor, weird how many of these apply to me just because I'm already sitting behind my desk 24-hours solving how anatomy works. Coding seems perfect for me although I've given up once already because of bad timing.
MAKE UR DECISION TO GET INTO CODING BASED ON YOUR IQ AND ABILITY TO LEARN. OR ELSE YOU'D NEVER GET YOUR WAY AROUND FASTER THAN YOUR PEERS.
I needed this video, thanks
Not for me, but I need money. So.. c'est la vie, I guess 🤷
So my "training" as a gamer may come in handy finally. I'm very adept at sitting and focusing on a screen.
Thank you so much for this video
thank you so much. that was beneficial
Hey, great vid. I have a question tho': how do you learn software programming if you already work 8+ hours( from 900 to 1800 hours) in front of the computer but on finance and after those hours you feel like your concentration goes down the drain with almost any other field of expertise you'd like to master or learn. Sometimes not even feeling like gaming or doing stuff just finishing work, doing some sports, eating and going to sleep just to get back on the grind stone the next day . This means you have maybe almost 2 hours a day which are arguably productive and some maybe 4h/day in the weekend ( because one might like to think they are not a husk and also need to take care of their mental health and family). Could this be achieved with learning only for almost 18h/ week at best ? Thx
If you have the time, the dedication and the interest then yeah it's possible. You'll have to make the most of your time though, and you'll want your learning path to be clear and defined. I'd recommend following The Odin Projects curriculum if you want to get into web development. If that doesn't work for you, then there are other options
Much needed video!!!
After watching this video I decided not to pursue coding anymore.
😢
Do what you love man.
was it the constant problem solving? that’s what is doing it for me
Excellent video!
me, confused if I really am passionate about programming: 👁👄👁
i feel like coding is something id like to pursue but the only thing holding me back is that ive never been particularly math savvy, is this a sign i shouldnt even waste my time?
Same! I hate math 😢
Informative !
How prevalent are remote jobs where you can realistically stay home most of the time? Or are the vast majority of positions requiring you to actually come in and sit in a cubicle?
If you are willing to work for free, then coding is for you.
If you want to have money and make a living from coding, then coding is not for you.
Software Development is oversaturated with people.
To the point where it is impossible for somebody to hire you. You can check, each job posting has between hundreds to thousands of applications.
thank you 💛
Hi, how did you find remote entry level work in IT? Any ideas?
What a awesome video!
