But making the button larger actually takes twice as long because the dimensions of that button are not defined in your part of the app so you have to interact with six different teams to get the size updated in the config file whose path is stored in the database so now you need to coordinate with four more teams to do a database migration and add the required updates. Business is fun!
I agree. That said, there is more to being a software engineer than maths and coding. You are hired to solve a business problem, not to solve fun puzzles. Sometimes you can write complex stuff from scratch, sometimes you have to spend two days in legacy code to fix a one-line bug. If you are lucky then a good chunk of your work will be fun problems... but I don´t know a single developer who loved their first job.
Yeah they can't see the talent in people if they just keep denying them interviews and just interview the mostly skilled persons on paper. 10 years of development doesn't really say much about the skills of the person. Some are just simply not cut out to be programmers and are mediocre at best.
👆This, this is so true, all I want to do in my job is write code and get the job done, not create JIRA tickets for menial tasks, and having to attend meetings to talk about setting up more meetings with people who have no idea about anything bar JIRA tickets.

I got about 40 denials before I wrote fake 1 year of commercial experience. Then one employer invited me to work remotely, he asked two simple question during the interview and I successfully passed it. His company is basically outstaffs programmers, but I got 'sold' as a middle developer with a 3-5 years of experience on a pretty big project with 1 million requests per hour. And honestly, the work is so easy, even though there are new technologies I gotta deal with every now and then. I sincerely do not understand how this whole proccess of hiring works, even if a zero-commercial-experience-developer can work as the middle dev, but is not even given a chance of interview and gets filtered out by hrs...
my man im gonna need a tutorial or something 🙏 can you tell me more about what kind of things you are expected to do daily? by 'sold' i think you mean contracted, what is it that you work on exactly, is it some nodejs CRUD/REST backend or what? I want to get into a webdev job too since it's extremely easy when you work in bigger teams.

It's hard to say what things I have to do daily, most of the times I'm just assigned the task, which is already architected in the terms of whole system, I just need to follow architecture of the project and implement the business logic (idk how to put it, sorry). My recent tasks were: read messages from rabbit, make changes to the database and invalidate one of the redis cache tables, but the domain logic is huge, so it was not so obvious, then make logging of that to the elk stack, implement small library to use new database(which was made internally in Rust for highly specialized purposes) .

@@memeherp166 When working on a task, you have the safety of a development environment, which makes it difficult to cause any major issues. Even if something does go wrong, the DevOps team can quickly fix it. Your code then goes through a review process, and if approved, it progresses to a test environment, followed by a pre-production environment. This ensures that any critical bugs are identified and addressed before they reach the production stage. During the first few months, you will be assigned a mentor who will guide you through the business processes and explain how everything works. They will also help you understand the necessary configurations and other essential details. But I guess it all depends on the company.
It''s amazing to see simple-ish project done from scratch - no bloat and overcomplicated architecture. I don't know much about web technology, so this makes it a great learning material too.
To be honest I'm not sure this is junior dev level(for games maybe). If it is for webdev, I should start considering a new career. From all the stuff I heard juniors are usually useless, but you made a whole game with what appeared to be confidence, even the multiplayer part. x-x.

Well done, so many wheels reinvented and interesting challenges solved, very good start. I believe the game development basics are quite important for any technology you will use in the future. Just keep distance from professional game development and you will be fine
Because for someone who loves vide games and have good engineering skills working in modern commercial game development is lose-lose situation. Your compensation and career perspective much worse than any other software development area. At the same time number of interesting features or even games you would enjoy which you’ll have to work on full time is negligible. As well as you can’t apply most of technologies and expertise to other areas. To continue enjoy gaming culture and game development keep it for yourself and build professional carrier in other areas

Bro, thank you for sharing your project. The first online game that I played was one very simple but beautiful 3D MMO tank game on the Navigator. I'll always pleasantly reminisce about those days.

Not true at all, if you have ever been around real Jr. devs you know this guy ain't one. Some Jr. devs I know forget how to tie their shoes and drive without crossing solid yellow lines. The job market sucks because HR sucks, not because jobs don't exist. A lot of people who have trouble getting a job out of college do so for many reasons, mostly because they thought all they needed was their degree and it was a golden ticket. They didnt do any extra work to have a portfolio by the time hiring managers asked them to show off why you were desirable. Another reason is location, many people I have spoken with look for semi-local jobs or 100% remote rather than shooting for anything in America to see who bites, I understand not everyone can do that with ties like family and kids but it is a factor. Don't mean to be burst anyone's bubble but that 100% remote job exists, but good luck getting it with zero to very little job experience in the relevant field.

I would make sure that you link to this video from the source code repo as well, if you don't already. Explaining it in a way that makes it clear you understand it is even more useful than just having the code.
beeing honest I'm more impressed by your animation skill. it's freaking clean. Obviously the game is unfinished/unpolished but nice game I tried it out and played it for a couple of minutes
Great video unc! It's a shame you don't have a job, it's clear you have the drive and even the autonomy to take on big projects without guidance, I'm rooting for you to get a good opportunity soon
This is very impresive, but man... shout out to those 2010s websites housing obscure, esoteric but very precious random knowledge; LLMs owe their success to them
I work as a game developer, and I think you should get a job pretty quick if it's games you want to go into. It's always appreciated when someone builds something out of passion / dedication rather than for instance something you had to do as part of a university assignment. I got my first job from a project I did over the summer break when studying, was a multiplayer minigolf game in Unity, basically Golf With Friends before that was a thing. The feedback I got was that they liked that I built something cool without being instructed to and I had the job :)
The gameplay isn't bad either. It takes some getting used to how the turn order shifts, but it adds a really cool strategic element. You have to balance staying out of the enemy's reach but also uncovering their position and overrunning them. Being able to shoot over missing tiles isn't obvious, if instead of holes in the map there were lakes, it would be clearer that you and the enemy can shoot over them.
i recommend getting a degree in biology or chemistry. there's a lot of jobs. i worked in the software industry for 10+ years and now i can code in my free time. also i'm able to automate some of my work through things i've learned over the years. it's a skill that companies value.
@@smoked-old-fashioned-hh7logreat to hear from ppl on the other side, but what kind of jobs in those fields make for smooth transition from SW? seems like a lot of lab and r&d roles require phd to move up
videos like this inspiring to learn more. i wish i had as much knowledge as you to build whatever i want and i like your passion about coding. btw if i was a hr i would hire you 1000%
No place for self-doubt here my man. Its not some humble-talk, but when you look under the hood, it's easier than it seems, there is no magic. Try making simple games for some time and the curtain will fall down. With the employment stuff, I just think the current market is hard for people with little to no commercial experience + recruiters are extremely bad at differentiating between people who might know stuff and those that know nothing. It's largely a lottery, so go grind, prepare for the next opportunity.
Crazy, i was just making a webapp with canvas (it just takes an image and uses floodfill to create pseudo buttons (using a coordinate click event) and then hooks them into html forms and backend for ticketing for events) Way way easier than this and somehow its taking me longer. I was thinking the whole time "man canvas is so versatile you could easily write a game using it". fantastic proof of concept. Also completely understand going for typescript. I did not out of pure laziness and have paid in spades with reference errors. Fantastic video! Really motivating! Also, no way your skill is junior. Maybe faang junior but imo this is more mid level stuff. And your architecture and design is senior stuff. To be honest, there is a good chance you can use some web 2 app framework and just make it a full mobile app. Then get a bit of ad rev and bam, self employed. There HAS to be a way.
That is such an interesting project! Could you please expand a little on how you came to learn how to code well enough to feel confident to start this project? I'm looking at free resources and thinking about how to approach all of this. My goal is to know enough to get started on small scale project, and build my learning up from there.
You should serialize game states and legal moves into efficient data structures and train an RL model to play the game. Even a simple probabilistic minimax algo could be a nice starting point
Really great job! Doing these kind of things really help you with burnout, I have been reminded. thank you Btw I noticed that you created your own UI system and that's a really tedious thing to do so great job with that! if I were to suggest something, you can use the htmldom and create a wrapper just above the canvas with 0 dimensions and make it relative and shows overflowed content so that it won't interfere with the canvas mouse events. It is there where you will then put the html buttons with positioning with just css. I do this approach because I'm too lazy handling all mouse events in the canvas and handling stylings for the ui elements. But still, its nice to just build things from scratch, it tickles the mind.
This looks so so so good, wth! Ok, I just played the game for one hour... I like the turn order being A B then B A as it plays nice with the moves being either move or shoot not both like most turn based games do.
How tf do yt algorithm works!!!?? I was about to make a fire emblem-like web browser game using pixi-vitejs and golang as BE.

The visualizations, the explanations, the cuts. You should do a devblog or something. Not only you have talent for code, you also have talent for video production.
I bow to you.
PS: CHROOT
Beyond junior dev level for sure. I hope you land your dream job!

Post code that actually works@@otiamaino2461
Why not create the menu components using html? They could be overlayed on top of the canvas, and the menu could be a completely separate page
yeah, I felt like it would have keep the pc and mobile implementation more unified while also not reinventing the wheel
@@bobsmithy3103he mentions that it doesn't fit with his architectural vision. I'm not sure what that vision is, but he later used an html input so I suppose it was just part of a self-imposed challenge
My thoughts exactly.
@@Zombiefruit "it doesn't fit with his architectural vision". that's no reason. it's not a good vision then.

we're done if this dude is a junior dev and doesn't get a job soon
I’m sorry but this guy is clearly not a junior lmao
Not true at all, if you have ever been around real Jr. devs you know this guy ain't one. Some Jr. devs I know forget how to tie their shoes and drive without crossing solid yellow lines. The job market sucks because HR sucks, not because jobs don't exist. A lot of people who have trouble getting a job out of college do so for many reasons, mostly because they thought all they needed was their degree and it was a golden ticket. They didnt do any extra work to have a portfolio by the time hiring managers asked them to show off why you were desirable. Another reason is location, many people I have spoken with look for semi-local jobs or 100% remote rather than shooting for anything in America to see who bites, I understand not everyone can do that with ties like family and kids but it is a factor. Don't mean to be burst anyone's bubble but that 100% remote job exists, but good luck getting it with zero to very little job experience in the relevant field.
@@f4ephilosophy691 I have over six hackathons under my belt, work part time in a rocketry software club with actual rockets launched and two internships. I go to 2-3 career fairs each year. I'm graduating this year and still unable to get an interview. If im still considered not trying enough, i dont know what to do anymore tbh.

Owwww perfect, you can make another twenty videos about this project. Nice job, congrats from Argentina.
Impressive! Good luck man! 🔥
Epic. So much effort. Kudos!
This guy is the other candidate they select over you after 5 rounds of interviews
Awesome job, both on the game and the video. Fun to play too!
One video, 6.61K subscribers. My friend, you are a genius.
I don't know about the "junior developer", but the video and the animations are very nice and professionally made!
The Primagen sent me, this was impressive, especially the screen shake via sinewave: i sincerely hope you can find success somewhere.
Amazing presentation! I hope it works out great for you!
It's amazing to me that developers with any social skills would still be working for a company
as someone learning cs in school, i would love to hear more about you, your education and your processes, youre incredibly talented

Fucking love the energy of the title dude !
I would make sure that you link to this video from the source code repo as well, if you don't already. Explaining it in a way that makes it clear you understand it is even more useful than just having the code.
I can empathise with you so much - that's how I feel right now.
i don't remember seeing anything cooler for the last year... good job
beeing honest I'm more impressed by your animation skill. it's freaking clean. Obviously the game is unfinished/unpolished but nice game I tried it out and played it for a couple of minutes
Great video unc! It's a shame you don't have a job, it's clear you have the drive and even the autonomy to take on big projects without guidance, I'm rooting for you to get a good opportunity soon
I feel you bro, I hope we both get good jobs

I work as a game developer, and I think you should get a job pretty quick if it's games you want to go into. It's always appreciated when someone builds something out of passion / dedication rather than for instance something you had to do as part of a university assignment. I got my first job from a project I did over the summer break when studying, was a multiplayer minigolf game in Unity, basically Golf With Friends before that was a thing. The feedback I got was that they liked that I built something cool without being instructed to and I had the job :)
hey, what did you used to make animation for e.g. in 0:34 ? :)
manim
The rejection email compilation really hit home :(
Great stuff. Subscribed 🎉

The gameplay isn't bad either. It takes some getting used to how the turn order shifts, but it adds a really cool strategic element. You have to balance staying out of the enemy's reach but also uncovering their position and overrunning them. Being able to shoot over missing tiles isn't obvious, if instead of holes in the map there were lakes, it would be clearer that you and the enemy can shoot over them.
Great work, bro!
That's awesome ! I wish you all the best
Just one question, how do you create an animation like at 0:46 ?
He is using manim, a python library.

Great game. I liked it sooo much. Please add more levels :)
Even devs like this aren’t getting hired. I have no chance 😢
i recommend getting a degree in biology or chemistry. there's a lot of jobs. i worked in the software industry for 10+ years and now i can code in my free time. also i'm able to automate some of my work through things i've learned over the years. it's a skill that companies value.

@@smoked-old-fashioned-hh7logreat to hear from ppl on the other side, but what kind of jobs in those fields make for smooth transition from SW? seems like a lot of lab and r&d roles require phd to move up

This game looks super awesome. I would totally buy it
Tell me you have a job now, because that's just excellent and clearly shows that you're a full fledged programmer and a software engineer.
You should hire junior devs bud.
Your hard skills are clearly top notch, I'd focus on the soft ones now. As incredible as it is, they'll get you hired more often than the hard ones

Who? @@JefJrFigueiredo
Honestly depressing to see someone who seems talented like you struggle to have a job. Makes me think I personally have no chance =(
No place for self-doubt here my man. Its not some humble-talk, but when you look under the hood, it's easier than it seems, there is no magic. Try making simple games for some time and the curtain will fall down.
With the employment stuff, I just think the current market is hard for people with little to no commercial experience + recruiters are extremely bad at differentiating between people who might know stuff and those that know nothing. It's largely a lottery, so go grind, prepare for the next opportunity.
@@kodestan Thanks man, I'll keep my chin up.
@@kodestan Best of luck on your job hunt!

@@kodestan The tech market isn't "dead". It's the HR who are brain dead and can't recruit skilled people.
Watching you do this with no sign of unit tests is like watching a tight rope walker.
Crazy, i was just making a webapp with canvas (it just takes an image and uses floodfill to create pseudo buttons (using a coordinate click event) and then hooks them into html forms and backend for ticketing for events) Way way easier than this and somehow its taking me longer.
I was thinking the whole time "man canvas is so versatile you could easily write a game using it". fantastic proof of concept.
Also completely understand going for typescript. I did not out of pure laziness and have paid in spades with reference errors.
Fantastic video! Really motivating!
Also, no way your skill is junior. Maybe faang junior but imo this is more mid level stuff. And your architecture and design is senior stuff. To be honest, there is a good chance you can use some web 2 app framework and just make it a full mobile app. Then get a bit of ad rev and bam, self employed. There HAS to be a way.
i love the 'no' lol. This is awesome

Could you please expand a little on how you came to learn how to code well enough to feel confident to start this project?

You should serialize game states and legal moves into efficient data structures and train an RL model to play the game. Even a simple probabilistic minimax algo could be a nice starting point
i feel stupid.
proof that I witnessed greatness.
great game man! definitely will check out!
Really great job! Doing these kind of things really help you with burnout, I have been reminded. thank you
Btw I noticed that you created your own UI system and that's a really tedious thing to do so great job with that!
if I were to suggest something, you can use the htmldom and create a wrapper just above the canvas with 0 dimensions and make it relative and shows overflowed content so that it won't interfere with the canvas mouse events. It is there where you will then put the html buttons with positioning with just css. I do this approach because I'm too lazy handling all mouse events in the canvas and handling stylings for the ui elements.
But still, its nice to just build things from scratch, it tickles the mind.
Actual job:
add new translation key. HELLO="Hello."
I feel you my man. Intrusive thoughts about becoming mid level management / tech lead have plagued me ever since.
This looks so so so good, wth!
Ok, I just played the game for one hour... I like the turn order being A B then B A as it plays nice with the moves being either move or shoot not both like most turn based games do.

How tf do yt algorithm works!!!?? I was about to make a fire emblem-like web browser game using pixi-vitejs and golang as BE. Im myself come from Game dev wanting to become a regular software engineer. But looking at these nonsense requirement for junior role kinda overwhelmed me, so I had this idea using my gamedev background to develop a game similar like you did. Thank you for making this.
