Literally the only genuine person I've been following for some time. You talk about the things others don't want to talk about. We have to remember we are only human and no one is perfect. Your content is breath of fresh air.
Comment made by chatGPT
@@AnimatedStoriesWorldwide L Bro
He reminds me of the YT channel Big Boy Pants Golf.😮😂
Just so you know, some of us enjoy the randomness of your content. It reminds me you are human and posting about stuff you care about.
I like when humans show humanness haha. Authenticity is where it's at
Agree
Dude, this is sooooooo refreshing. I had a pretty significant Twitch channel doing coding and cloud bootcamps, and right on the cusp where I could have really gone deep into this stuff and blown up, I pulled away for many of the reasons you stated. I have 2 kids and they deserved to have their dad completely. I thought I wanted all the fancy stuff, but what I really wanted was my family.
I respect you immensely for putting your kids first. That's how I know they'll turn out to be people who are good for this world.
So wait what did you stop doing? The twitch or the boot camps?
@@jcap8391 both lol I was teaching the bootcamps on Twitch
Man, this kind of sincerity is why I started to watch your stuff in the first place. It's difficult to find someone on the internet who is really genuine, so keep it up! Life can simply be boring sometimes, and that's alright.
Always been a lurker and watch most of the uploads. Just gotta say I’m super impressed with your journey and how you deal with ups and downs. Stay solid brother
I really appreciate your candor and the relatable nature of your videos. You're an inspiration.
This is a good update. Thank you for still being there for me.
You are a great inspiration to me. Thank you. I support you in your decision!
Your honesty is so refreshing. This video was just great! More power to you man!
My desire to become a programmer emerged about 7-8 years ago, but due to a lack of motivation, lack of discipline in learning, and a lack of time due to my current job, I have not persevered in it until now. I came across your video channel about a month ago and watched many of your videos related to programming advice and motivation for learning. Proudly, I can say that since then, I have actively started learning and devoted every second of my free time to learning. I have already created about 15 projects and I continue to learn until I gather enough knowledge and find a job as a front-end or full-stack programmer. Thank you for your honest advice, and I hope you won't stop recording. Even if it's occasional, I believe your words can change people's careers.
15 projects within a month of learning to code? Really?
That's impressive.
@@tenc6491 Small projects using html and css, for practice,
@@davestevo6752 im trying to get in, do you have a any fears of ai?
@@naturelife7536 AI has not yet replaced much simpler jobs, serving as an aid in many industries. We should not be afraid, after all, programming is not the only job on the Internet, even if AI replaces something completely, it will not replace everything. As long as you are not lazy to study, you should not be afraid. How are you doing, how long have you been studying?
@@davestevo6752 i am planning on starting to study during my summer break
Thank you for sharing! I'm struggling with similar decisions between pursuing a passion and ensuring I can provide for my family. I appreciate you showing that sometimes what we think we want doesn't always pan out the way we thought. Good luck to you and your family!
This is your channel, you decide where you want to take it. Make a good decision and stand behind it and you'll have an audience. The problem with making Money and Business is that most people fail at it, and that's why it consumes their lives. If you do it well, it's supposed to free you and grant you time and comfort. But that is a skill you must learn either by trial and error or by studying business deeply and being very strategic about it. Good luck with everything, I will remain a subscriber.
Thank you for the honesty Dorian! I don’t mind you exploring other content ideas since I‘m subscribed for you as a person. What makes your channel so special is your brutal honesty and self reflection! Keep it up buddy, we watched your coding videos and we will watch the next Zyzz video. All the best for you and your family ❤
Brother, create a podcast. You have the conversational depth, empathy and communicational skills to thrive as a podcaster or at least to enjoy a nice honest shot at it. I like your content and would like you to keep it real and "unplugged" from the consensus. Keep it up, Dorian 💪
Dont let ppl get you down. Channel is great! I definitely enjoy a bit of random content.
I love these vids man. The realness is what i feel we all come back to your content for. Just keep doing you, enjoy your family, stay blessed bredren
Good for you man i enjoy all your videos very insightful about life
Love the honest. Well done!👍
I like that you're always sharing the good and the bad stuff that happen in life. Keep it up with the good work
I love you dude. The very first videos you uploaded on youtube resonated with me so much and each time you upload another video you just talk about things in a way that hit me and make me think in a way that really helps. Im not in a bad spot in my life at all and i still enjoy hearing you talk no matter how many times you go through a certain topic. I think the comments under your videos really show how much people appreciate you as a talker and thinker. Even if some day you just stop making youtube videos, ill be happy knowing i can rewatch all of your old videos at any point, thats how good they are.
This was a great video! Thanks for chairing with us your personal and professional journey.
That's why I love your channel.
i think it's cool you tried doing it fulltime and it's something i constantly think about too. thanks for sharing what you learned :)
Always gonna stick with you man, inspiring
Dude, I think I was one of those assholes who unsubscribed when you started uploading the weird content. I just randomly came back here to see what’s up and now I feel like such a dick, that was one of the most honest and refreshing videos I’ve ever seen.
I have a ton of parallels with you and and relate to basically everything you said. Re-subscribed, sorry for doubting you, and if you continue making videos like this where you just keep it real and call out the bullshit for what it is, there has to be a huge group of viewers that will find value in that.
Just saying, you're a real inspiration. You're among the first youtubers I followed while learning to code, and I'm glad to see you're staying true to yourself and your family. Props to you!
Great video, thanks for the upload and honesty, I think a lot of us are in a similar position, trying to decide our priorities in life.
You just literally earned the title of the most honest programmer I've ever seen in my life despite some disagreements , keep up the great work❤
Dorian, I hope you get to read this.
In 2019 I was watching your videos while trying to transition from a business major to CS. Today I work as a fullstack Software Engineer.
Your content helped me so much back then so thank you for the work you put in.
I appreciate the honesty, and not everything has to go a certain way
i liked this video so much! Cool to see you think through the questions you have about staging in your life
Great message. I needed this too. Best of luck in your new role!
I love the honesty of this video! I have a UX/UI channel and the biggest thing I don’t want to fall into is doing tutorial videos, despite how easy it is to do content like that. I appreciate videos like these just talking about what you’re going through, and it’s something I try to do on my channel. Thank you for your honesty!
This is so genuine and amazing. Please keep making videos at your own pace. Churning them out just to be active degrades the quality significantly.
loved this video, been subbed a long time. i like hearing your thoughts. just make vids like this bro.
Love the fact that you always keep it 100% more respect bro being transparent
Dang, appreciate the raw thoughts. I followed you for your frankness and I'm glad I did
The video is not stupid and I genuinely appreciate the honesty and realness. I relate to you in a lot of ways and this video was a great way for me to realize that. Thanks Dorian.
Dorian , recently i discovered your channel and its very good to see people like you online to say loud and clear that family and loved ones comes always first...even if you continue your journey as a programmer or not we feel you brother and we will support you no matter the content of your channel because your structure your core is all the way up with good values of life like fatherhood...
keep up your good work brother be around you family and expirement with new content and ideas we support you
Wow. all those who loved this type of honesty gather here
Thank you for being honest. Like you say, life happens and we change. Our needs and wants change depending on what's going on in our lives so, I get it. I'm still grieving about changing careers because I love being a musician but at this stage of my life, I need financial stability so that's why I'm turning to coding (it's sooo damn hard!). I'm sure I'll have different needs in 2, in 5, or 10 years, we just have to be clear on what we want and go for it. It's nice to hear you because I can relate, maybe I won't be getting on stage to sing for a while but I can be patient like you and with a stable job support my family and my music. If you make a decision with your heart you'll never regret it :) I wish you the best of lucks Dorian.
Hey Dorian, I just found your channel and just wanted to say, no idea what kind of content you used to do in terms of coding or these videos you mention. But seen your last few videos when you just speak about thoughts, feelings and emotions it made me subscribe. Super authentic content, and work in the same field as you so relate to many things. Keep just being you and share stuff you wanna share, its nice to watch someone that isn't a toxic hustler but a real one.
You are a genuine person bro, that's why I subscribed, you really want to help people and we really appreciate that
Sounds like your family is the dream. That’s powerful!! So glad to see you want your family!
Really appreciate the Honesty dude. Coding isn't my focus right now, but your videos and stories really helped give me hope for a better future for myself when I was doordashing full time. So what you do on youtube helps out people like me. Even if I'm not a coder right now, the idea that a better future isn't out of reach is valuable as hell and keeps me going
I watched a few if your videos. I follow you from Brazil. I follow less than 10 channels. I didn't watch your last videos. This one called my attention. You talking about yourself, your experiences and your feelings is an interesting content. Cheer up. You are solid.
Exactly. Thanks for your honesty.
Rationalizing your life choices in front of the camera in real-time and total improvisation. Impressive!
Love anything you put out bro, obviously programming content is my favorite but these personal videos are a close 2nd
Thanks Man for some really good thoughts right on time!
Nice to see someone going through it and sharing their experiences
That is just great! We all are in the same process of becoming a better us, so that's okey to not posting videos regularly, or thinking you out of content ideas (which you are doing pretty good in my perspective)... Mate your contents have been the most honest and genuine I have seen in this TH-cam. Thanks
Dude you have so much to offer. Pivot from only coding and more on the self improvement stuff you mentioned. That's how I found you to begin with.
I needed this video. I have 2 children. One is nearly 5 and the other has just turned 1. I’m 32 and I’ve been programming since I was 20. I’ve reached about point where I am so burnt out that I’m depressed and miserable all the time. I’m the provider for my family and I need to keep going or else my kids won’t have the life they have now. It’s so hard and I wonder what life would be like if I tried something new. But hearing your story has made me realise that I need to appreciate what I have and put my family first just like you.
Love this video man ! You should do ux/ui related content I’m sure there’s a good chunk of us that could use a content creator like you that talks about it
I just found your channel from this video. Really enjoyed this video. I'm not into coding at all. Would definitely watch more of these videos
Great video Dorian. Can’t wait for the change in your channel. It gets repetitive for us too Stuff like finance, coding doesn’t change that much and there’s only so many topics u can cover. I know you’ve got some great advice to share in these talking videos.
Thank you for your “good enough” update. It’s much appreciated 👍
You inspire me in many ways, Dorian. Please continue to to do right by you and your family. I love watching loads of your content and appreciate you letting me/us all into your world.
We appreciate your honesty, mate.
Best of luck!❤️
It's tough! I've been fighting this, and it made me give up a lot with just analysis paralysis. But you have your priorities right IMO. Stay happy brother. ❤
Yo Dorain, I relly appreciate you for drop this video. If your're running out of youtube ideas, I'd say just read tech news and keep us up to dates with your opinions or start a gaming channel and just playthrough some of the latest single player games.
Hey, thank you for the videos it changed my life for the better.
I feel this SOO much. IDK if I'm burned out currently or what but the full time TH-cam grind is a real thing. It's a lonely path and honestly a hard one. I myself also have a stay at home wife and kids who home school and that makes it all the harder. And like you said having a head start (paying off debt before going full time) is literally the only way to make it. I'm glad to hear that you found something that's working for you and going to take you away from this grind and wish you the best with all you end up deciding to do with TH-cam going forward. Great video.
Interesting talk about just stepping back a little bit to evaluate and get a fresh perspective on where you are at.
Things change and we just have to improvise, adapt, overcome.
You’re da man Dorian
Keep up the good work bradda 💪🏾
Hey man, happy to hear you're happy! Make what you want when you want, I'll be around 😄
I haven't seen anyone talk about the side hustle life in this way Dorian. Thank you for shaping some of my thoughts right now.
Love this channel ❤❤ God bless you
Subscribed because of your dedication to your kids, keep up the good parenting.
I was wondering why some of the vids from you that I had opened in tabs were no longer available. Thanks for the explanation!
Well done, and we'll said. Congrats 👏
Hey Dorian, as another programmer dealing with life, having contemplated doing TH-cam and going between different software jobs, your perspective is always great for my mental to hear. Its okay to just be figuring things out and do what you feel is best. Never really came for constant uploads, its just always nice to see where you're at in life and hope you're getting to wherever you want to be. Peace and love. Keep being you fam
I can relate to a lot of stuff you're saying, and thanks for making this video! I've come to some similar realizations regarding work and entrepreneurship. I used to chase the dream of starting my own business, even the TH-cam channel is part of that path, but as I started focusing on it more, I realized that it's a similar kind of rat race to the corporate one, only your employee is the Algorithm.
However, I still quit my job, though not with the idea of becoming a TH-camr, but to try and find a my own passion and create myself a purpose. And I'll do TH-cam and any other educational stuff only when I feel like it, i.e. have inspiration and ideas. I feel like discovering what I like doing is the most important thing at this point for me - I've got no real obligations like kids or mortgages.
In the corporate world, I couldn't stand the obligations to constantly report on what I'm doing, to work on stuff that I believed were mostly meaningless and having somebody else control/own my time. I don't think there exists a workplace where none of these aspects exists, but I hope that I can find something outside of the corporate world. Good luck with your new job though.
Kudos to you, Dorian, that you take your familiy relations serious and also for applying the BJJ mindset to your life: always look for ways to improve, transition if you're stuck and keep an open mind about what you're presented with. OSS!
I like following your journey, so listening to you sharing your thoughts is a fun experience for me. Surely more of your subscribers feel the same way.
Also, I had a thought while listening to you talk in this video: I think you'd enjoy reading The Creative Act by Rick Rubin. He shares a great perspective about how ideas come to be and how we can use them/grow them, especially in the creative sphere. I consider TH-cam to be a creative sphere.
Anyway, all the best! And thanks for the update!
You're a real one Dorian, god bless you ❤
Side note: I could listen to you rant for hours man, please keep us in the loop from time to time man, god bless!
You have good honesty. Your subs are high enough you should be making 6 figures from this channel, but maybe I'm wrong. haven't watched your other content. Glad you got the new job.
Hey, it is all fine, we love to listen to you, and it is all fine whatever you post, someone will find it relevant, so don't worry about it... Take a deep breath and just keep going and achieve the things you love, Sir!
I completely understand and relate!!!
Dorian, thank u for your content.. u probably wont believe this but u are changing lives.. never stop posting.
This message is profound and full of value. Money and early retirement is a common goal for many but the time being with the ones you love has more value. As long as you have a good balance in work, family, relationships, all is good. Extremes can be lonely
I support you 100%. I was really surprised with those random videos though. I thought maybe you would have at least communicated the shift in direction beforehand. Hope all is going well man.
pS. your honesty and humility is refreshing Dorian!!! No health or wealth stuff just teach the kids to code!!! Stick to what you know!!!
Dude! Welcome back!
Thanks for your honesty 🙏 I feel like this is a side to content creation that people don't see. I feel like working a normal job is surprisingly less stressful than content creation. It's nice to see this perspective. I've been going back and forth on what my goals are for content and hearing these perspectives from full time creators in the tech space is really refreshing. Thanks a ton for your transparency in the space!!
The there one day gone the next is so interesting. I use to love these videos then one day I forgot. I hope you’re well and chilling with the family.
Been here since day one. Keep doing your thing man.
Hey its fine to experiment with content man. I watch this channel not so much to learn programming but to see what Dorian is up to.
You helped me become a developer because you are inspiring and I grew up in the same situation as you. Did many regrettable things and am in my 30s. It isn't easy but we got this!
Great video brother 👍
Respect for your authenticity, respect for your honesty
Appreciate you sharing!
This is an extraordinary video that helps so many people around the world, you're helping to change people's life everyday. Thanks for telling us the truth. I quite my job as a medical practitioner last 2 years After almost 8 years in the field, I retired from my position as a registered nurse two years ago. Though it was not an easy choice, life is too short to spend each day dreading going to work. No amount of money can truly buy true happiness. But friends, I'm not asking you to quit your job or shut your business. Just be wise
@brave Thomas
I started planning for early retirement while I was still working, making about 3k a week from my investment portfolio while planning to build a new side hustle and income. Best advice : Never invest your life savings in a single asset.
There are many investment alternatives available like real estate, exchange - traded funds (ETTs), sticks and cryptocurrency but my advice is : hire an expert to guide you through a profitable one.

I know of Mrs Virginia may Wynne, her services are so effective, I recommend her to anyone because she's really great.
@Katty Stelmach
I don't think I can be able to drop her contact here because of some limitations here on comments sections ; maybe I'll drop her Telegram handle
You can also reach her on telegram
Another great mate and dad video 👍
Much respect for this attitude! Especially 03:47 catched me
Maybe shed some light on the UX/UI space and what it’s like working in it. Share what you are learning and what you like about it.
I like you talking about the things that go on in your life.
Family, kids, development, life choices are the thing you can talk about from your own experience. That's what makes you authentic.
Make videos about how UI & stuff and what's it to work for non-commercial entities.
Dorian back on the mat. I love it. Black belt on keyboard and the mat soon enough.
One of the most genuine people I follow on TH-cam, tech or non-tech keep doing what you're doing Dorian!
Haven't finished watching the video yet but wanted to comment on what you just said there
'You turn to social media and everyone has just got more and more'
This is so true, it distracts us from what we actually have and just makes us endlessly want more.
