For anyone interested in learning DSA, I added a link in the description for a git repo full of DSA learning material (it’s not shown in the video). Enjoy the pain my friends
Choose the language that'll bring you more fun. You like Minecraft? Make datapacks or mods. That's either the Minecraft programming with their built in commands or java. Do you like 2D games? Try Game Maker or Godot. Do you want to make the next 3D open world MMORPG, learn Unreal (either blueprints or C++). Do you want to take hours debugging errors brought by the tool you're using and withstand abusive business practices? Learn Unity. Whatever you choose it has to inspire you and it has to be fun for you. If not programming at the beginning, seeing your ideas come to life.
@@cirkulx The important thing is that you already have experience programming. Once you can imagine what you need to do to accomplish a task, you'll be able to quickly read some documentation or forum to apply to the new language. Libraries are kind of the same. You already have the foundation to piece together their functions to build your app. And noone can take away what you've learned, it's yours now to apply to many other future projects, so no harm in trying cool stuff for the sake of it!
Great video, man. Lots of good advice. Grit and curiosity can take you a long way. As for your last point, I agree, you will always have someone that scoffs at your goals. My own brother, when I told him I was going to be a software engineer, told me "They're gonna laugh you out of the room without a degree". Spoiler alert: I made it. When he found out I had gotten an engineering role he said "I always knew you could do it" 🤣 Point is - never stop, no matter what.
You got this! Work on any code language you want to start then branch out to work! I first learned on c and ++ but hated it.. then loved Python but got a job in c# and constantly learning new stuff like SQL and JavaScript now. Eventually more!
If any of you are suffering from perfectionism, and as a result feeling discouraged or frustrated when you don't have a good day, just remember: excellence is not an act, it's a habit. We are what we do repeatedly. So take a good night's rest and know that tomorrow you have another chance to make it.
& most importantly LEARN OPTIMIZATION ESPECIALLY FOR POTATO-HARDWARE Too many devs just neglect this, not all of us live in 1st world countries nor we have access to good PCs
Coffee is glorified, instead drink plenty of water and electrolytes. Drink tea. Get plenty of sleep and a healthy meal plan. Then you won’t need to trick your body with coffee.
Hey Tariq 10x , 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 ?
@@views-re2om if coding is what you love and you already do it in your spare time, absolutely go for it. but if you are like me and you were sold on the dream of the past decade, learning to code and earning six figures in less time then it would take to even earn a degree, but just think it’s pretty cool. you’re cooked. it’s been impossible to get in for years now. i networked my way to a startup, worked there for several years and was never able to land anything since. it’s all chill once you get that first job, right? wrong. even 2 years is not enough experience for anyone, and that was before Ai. hiring and interviewing are broken. there is no reason to hire someone junior when they’ll take a year or two to really even begin to generate their worth in value and by then they will leave because job hopping is the only way to progress in this broken field. since all the layoffs, you’re even competing with people that have real experience. and lord only knows how ai will shape things. in the short term i can only see it making juniors even more obsolete. it’s been 6 years since i learned to code, and 3 since my layoff. i’ve sent thousands of applications, grinded for months on algorithms, failed hundreds of interviews each time being rejected for lack of time in the field. i’ve long since given up. don’t be like me. if you live and breathe software, make cool things that solve real problems and have real users, make friends with other devs / become a part of a community, i’m sure you will find a way. but it is absolutely brutal out there. business was booming back in the zero interest rate days when it was much more promising to start a company and you’d scramble to hire anyone you could to build your app. but now it’s much more expensive and risky, and employers have to be very careful about hiring the right engineers, and there are very few of them to go around, which is made worse as there is no good path for newer engineers to grow and become the great talent. they are too expensive to hire for their worth, very hard to train because they take time from the great engineers who could just be doing the work instead of spending the time training, and are not liable to stick around for long enough to generate revenue relative to their cost. i don’t know everything, so do your research and please leave a comment if anything i say here is off base. but this is my experience after many years of trying to make it.
2:19 I always knew I was a masochist, but u don't have to call me out like that, staaap it😶, Tho, i really don't get what people mean when they say python and Javascript are the easiest, Ive found ruby, vb, c++ and html simpler

if i might add put a timer on your phone(like 30min) put your phone at a distant away and try learning a subject matter until the clock runs out

What if you have a potato PC ?
The last part is for me ❤. I am in the middle of a career transition into Tech at 35. Thanks for reminding me I got this!
"you already know the answer" got me

Maybe he was trying to ignite a fire within you. I'm glad you made it!

C# roguelike let's goooo
thank you so much
This mindset is amazing to whip my lazy brain back to shape, you have my thanks🙌
Bro you just earn a new subscriber, your content is truly a quality content
That hit deeper than i expected 😂 great video, gonna follow ur tips

First! great video m8
thank u for the helpful video.
amazing guy i love it.
i am suffering with consistency man
Bro you are not alone, it’s just about making it a routine and then showing up every day ✌️
& most importantly LEARN OPTIMIZATION
ESPECIALLY FOR POTATO-HARDWARE
Too many devs just neglect this, not all of us live in 1st world countries nor we have access to good PCs
Can You please share , which website you use for those videos , you added in the video ?
The one thing you forgot to mention: Coffee.
It's the key to success.
And yeah, learn to ignore the cynics.
Nahhh cofee makes me poop a lot
@@trevorfranks69than you wont survive on ritalin 😂

Our mother was right, it's always the damn phone
Trevor put the damn phone down and lock in, you got this
Friend !!!
I’m missed the screen time mark by 8min 😂😂😂 seems I’m also in trouble
You're actually so wise.
That's the evilest thing that i see today
DSA resources?
I added a link in the description for a git repo full of DSA material sites. Or search for „tayllan awesome algorithms“, should be the first link.
step 1: choose a different career path
why?
