​@@DevLeader sure! I am a student from Poland, a medium-sized country in eastern Europe. I already work in IT but as a data analyst on data system central to the proper distribution of civil cash benefits (SQL, Python, R). My dream/goal is to become a .NET programmer. I'm grinding courses on Pluralsight, but trying to surround myself with programming and C# everywhere I can. Your videos have helped me a lot in this recently :)
Would you like to maybe make a video one day about how a junior can learn by reading the code of experienced programmers? not sure if this is a good topic for a video. Maybe you already made a video on this topic? I've heard somewhere that it's worth taking the time to analyze code of better ones than myself but I feel a bit lost with all the github available :)
(my english not good)

@@piotrwrotny9703 your English is great from what I can see in your comments 🙂 I'm so happy to hear the videos have helped you with learning! I'm trying to balance beginner content with more advanced videos, so check my website as well (devleader.ca) in case some of the very beginner topics don't make it to videos 🙂
I think that video suggestion makes sense, I just need to think about how I'd want to bring that together in video form. I'd also like to start recording code reviews and posting them!

@@DevLeader Sorry, but I can't add an answer. YT deletes my comment 15s after adding it. I'll add it in parts, and we'll see which one doesn't fit the algorithm:) sorry for the spam

Just checking - did you have a question, or just sharing code? 🙂

[@kvelez]

@@DevLeader Hi, thanks for asking.
I was sharing it so that people may have it available for changes and also to follow the video more easily.

[@DevLeader]

@@kvelez much appreciated 🙂 just wanted to double check if there was a question you had to go along with it! I appreciate the share, thanks!
