Listening to you is literally very calming. Idk what you do different, but its like I could listen to you for hours without getting distracted or bored. Its a very strange thing I feel when I watch your videos, cannot really explain what. Plus all of your videos are so information packed yet they are not monotonous to listen (yeah I mainly listen to videos - background play-> less distraction). Anyway thanks for making such content.

Harkirat, I am a Programmer with 15+ years of vast experience in IT. If you sit long hours without a break, you may earn a big bank balance, but you are soon going to get Fistula, Piles, Chronic back pain, Shoulder locks, and diabetes. You cannot even eat properly, you will lose proper sleep, and will be forced to retire early due to health issues. So better go for a slower journey, you have to live longer and healthier. Money will naturally come to you being in IT, but maintaining your health is extremely difficult for IT employees. Consult seniors to know the tricks on how to take care of your health to be able to work productively for another 10 more years.
@@PiyushYadav-pl9jm I don't think it works that way, personal experience if you sit for long hours and have a workout later, still you can have lower back issues (slip disc in my case). So a 5 min stretch a leg in between your coding session helps.
@@PiyushYadav-pl9jm Diet plays an important role. But if somebody sits for longer hours, they are gonna get Varicose veins at various parts of the body due to lack of blood flow for hours. Varicose veins at the anal area are called piles. Varicose veins at the back muscles are called chronic back aches. Somebody sitting long hours would have more health problems than somebody drinking alcohol regularly but staying active for longer hours. Humans are made to walk for 12 hours a day and sleep during nighttime. If somebody is not very active for at least many hours in a day, he will get chronically ill. That is why most IT people after their 40s are chronically ill even after eating the most healthy diet.
This is the comment that I really want to see in the comment section...finally someone who told the truth Fir toh 2 crore 4 crore bhi moh Maya hi lgne lgenge insan ko jab yeh sab bimariya aa jaati hai
I'm student doing three jobs 1.dsa ,Dev 2.cs, apti 3.theory + practical for good GPA Daily doing this things and working 14 hr a Day and 8 hr on weekends
In last few years you have surely earned really good . Now what motivates you to still work that hard . What are your goals , or things that you wish to do in life for which you are putting so much effort.
I agree with all the points, except the "Don't take breaks" one. I think it's upto an individual to decide whether taking a break helps him or not. I personally find myself being more productive when I work for 40 min and take a 5 min break, and then repeat.
I sometime get so much stress while coding..... In this situation usually I go out of my room have some chit-chats with family members sometimes grab a cup of tea and sometime help my mom in her household works... I don't know why but it helps me relieving the stress and gain back the coding vibe...
Tip: do the to do list the previous working day, not at the start of your day. It’s really helpful to go into your new day focused and knowing what to start with. At the end of your day you will already have in your mind what still needs to be done and what the priority is to do next, leave it and you’ll need to check that all again to remind yourself. If you need to plan this out first then you’ve lost some of that momentum and will have the cognitive load of all the other things in your mind when trying to focus.
what makes me keep going is that, first i push small piece of code to github and after that i want to make that green dots darker, so i code and push them frequently. Whats your take on this? Positive/Negative Feedback would be much appreciated !
I did that too. It is a fake dopamine boost. Doesn't have any kind of value as the people interested look at the context. What I felt to be really satisfying is breaking the project into modular fashion that with least amount of pushes you get a presentable project. Instead of the classic " doing the project screws and nuts first" model. For example. A scraping page, you can do frontend and backend together as such you will be creating a usable front end for every single data extraction however small or raw.
- Create a morning checklist of tasks to complete for the day to stay organized and avoid distractions. Checking tasks off is satisfying and keeps you focused. - Try not to take short breaks (e.g. every 50 minutes) when coding, as it breaks your train of thought and mental model. Work for 2-3 hours then take a longer break. - Stay hydrated and hydrate your eyes, which is important for health and reducing headaches when looking at screens for long hours. - Avoid social media breaks during work hours and instead use breaks for learning like listening to podcasts or reading documentation. - Make time daily to learn new technologies or skills, either by challenging yourself with new tasks at work or personal learning projects. This prevents skills from becoming outdated. - Stack meetings together and cut down on them as much as possible when coding to maximize focused time without interruptions. - Focus on being productive rather than just appearing busy. Companies care more about outcomes than face time or impressing managers. So, it's about maximizing focus, avoiding distractions, continuous learning, staying healthy, and prioritizing outcomes over appearances to be highly productive.
for the first time, I heard someone saying "Don't take breaks!" for me, I feel productive way more when I work for a long couple of hours without taking a break but people usually advise me to take breaks which is why I tried it sometimes but dropped it since it won't work for me,,, it's distracting, at least I feel that way... I constantly searched for maybe someone who would agree with me but never found one.
Invest in a good monitor, After buying many keyboards and mouse, I figured out all I need is my laptop's keyboard and might use external mouse, otherwise trackpad is good enough, investing in a good chair is also okay, You can play lofi music in the background if you are sleepy, or better take a nap, Rest all he told was good advice, clean workspace also inspires me sometimes.
Hey hi harkirat, It would be great if you create a small video/short about the books you read or recommend us to read. It can be technical/productivity/mindset. Thanks.
another awesome video! ❤ one quick request- can you please make a detailed video on data related fields, especially data engineering and its scope/growth in future.
These tricks are really helpful. Thanks for sharing. To keep my eyes hydrating I'm using a eye drop called Lacrima. It's made in combination of "Dextran 70 USP 0.1% + Hypromellose BP 0.3%". Would you please tell me is there any side effect if I use it in regular basis.
The thing of not taking a break is sometimes good while sometimes bad also Like if you are not able to solve something and you still remain stuck to the task it will not be productive rather if you can take a break and freshen up your mind it might be helpful.
It takes time to get there, one has to put time and effort consistently. In the end you might not feel anything but you are more of a superhuman by then
Hi Harkirat, Your videos are really inspiring. I'm taking very promising notes from your videos. Lots of wishes from Pak ❤ PS: when AI trend video will come?
Is there a way to tracks your progress of one day, one week , one months..? Seeing a graph or any metric of self growth is very motivating and satisfying . Basically something tangent to work upon.
Hi harkirat! I understood from your videos that taht you do multiple jobs jobs at a time besides full time remote developer. And all they are developer jobs only. I cant understand how is that acceptable by those companies/clients is it not voilating corporate company laws? Is it moonlighting or ony other working model? Please make detailed complete video. I think its definately worth it. For now please give me a short answer 🙂
What about eating food and then working, do you skip meals until you get some work done. I feel when i eat in the morining i feel sleepy so i try to avoid eating until i complete some tasks on my checklist..
I have been in IT industry for more then 15 years. Really liked and appreciate what you are doing. But at the same time do take care of your health...prolong sitting can bring lot of health issues in long run
Bro which video should i watch if i want to start full stack learning in your channel there are so may of them i dont know where to start please help 😟😟😟😟
Hi artificial tears are good but since I have dry eyes since 12 th and my advice is don't believe what even ebst eye doctors say but these artificial tears contain preservatives and in the long run these preservatives might have side effects that are bad so don't do it in the long run atleast get sunlight as much as possible maybe a walk is best if you can outside
I'm really good at coding and I totally love it, but when it comes to getting stuff done, I'm a total mess. I just can't seem to stay on track, and I end up feeling totally overwhelmed and kicking myself later.
i take break times to see your old videos sir and i need to ask is it possible to get gob in faang companies as a freasher with bsc computer science with knowledge fo mern stack and dsa
Hi I am learning JS right now . But I want to contribute in open source . I want to purchage your course. But Should I buy your recent Full stack course on 100xDevs or I should wait for next batch ?
I don't know about sitting continually for 3 to 4 hours. But for good health better we take some time for 2 min stretch and get up from the chair and walk in the room and comeback continue coding
As you said you used to do 3 work at the same time so I am assuming some of them were freelance works. Even if they were not can you tell us how should one start freelancing in present time ? Assuming the person has aquired the basic skill.
As a fresher which domain should choose full stack developer vs data scientist vs data analyst vs ai engineer vs ml engineer which has more job opening and highest package and future growth please tell
To be honest all the description you have mentioned are little hard to crack even if you crack it HR's and organization will ask for projects which will help you in getting in and negotiating. But all have a big future in the upcoming years. Though I feel like Data scientist/analyst/engineer have become one in most of the company. now a days companies are ready to pay separately to each description so they are excepting a jack of all trade. So choose wisely, just go through the contents of all the above mentioned roles and find which you find interesting and pursue it. And everything includes a little coding knowledge so keep working don't quit as it may seem easy mate. All the best😁

I think sitting for longer hours, but having a 1 hour workout session would be good enough, isn't it? And ofcourse a good diet.
When you get old you will realize it doesn't work that way or any other way. You can run fast but not long.

I learnt these tips essentially from a book called Deep Work by Carl Newport. He is a researcher/professor at an Ivy league university.
this may have given you boost, but the reason you are doing great because because you love to code
For the eyedrop its " just tears "
Ita s just works good for lubricating your eyes.
Harikrat you are life saver bro ... thank you so much I don't know where ill land but I am very hopeful after watching and following your videos.
Use a standing desk and a treadmill.
Order of Priority: Walking+Standing > Walking > Standing > Sitting
Don't lessen your priority unless you have to.
