Hi Namanh! Really liked the video, I found it to be insightful. I am a self taught programmer and got my first gig some time ago. I am struggling with imposter syndrome, any tips on boosting programming confidence ?
@@alizahir9763 i'm going to make a video on this but tl;dr: remember that there's more to software engineering than just coding -- you have to communicate with teammates, present at meetings, take ownership, etc. so anytime you feel like you don't have one of the qualities remember that there are so many more that you do have and are the reason you are where you are
Hello Namanh.. The video is quite inspiring.. I really love it.. By any chance, I'd love to reach out to you to ask a few questions.. How can I reach out to you? Thank you in advance..
@@namanhkapur My pot-head cheap parents enrolled me into a state board Bengali medium highschool. It was a PTSD inducing labour camp of a "school". There I learnt how a 40year old man beats the soul out of a 10year old boy. There were no washroom, no drinking water, no computers. Most Indians lived through this experience of "schooling". Went to job market where they demand skills that we don't have and it's mind melting to learn skills like programming on your own when you were conditioned like this. We can only spectate these success stories as amateur astronomers observe stars.
This just shows that everyone's journey is different, some take 10 years some take 3 months. NO matter where you are in the world, keep coding, keep applying, everyone fails; it's those who learn from failure and don't give up that succeed.
don’t give up, the end is so near! sometimes it’s hard to remember there’s more out there than all the exams and projects, but software engineering in industry is very different and a lot of fun, you got this, i’m rooting for you!
This was a fantastic video!! Just started as a full time dev in January in the AI healthcare space, and couldn't be loving it more. This really reminded me of the importance of enjoying the process and giving credit to how far we have come. Thanks for a great story, and best of luck to you!
Dude this video was super dope and very motivating I'm studying to get my A+ cert for cyber security I'm new to the IT field I would love to keep hearing about your journey
Hey I've watched your channel today and yesterday to learn how to teach myself computer science and programming. I'm working towards a new career. Thank you for all your effort.
I really liked your journey and skills I just started my code journey in 2020 after bachelors in electronics engineering now have two skill mobile app developer, Iot from Electronics Looking to grow more in tech as of today I completed 1 year 3 months working for Accenture for further growth I should learn more thanks for sharing your journey it is really inspiring
I guess my take away is, he started uni in 2016, right now it's 2022, it's a long process of 6 years and consistency all while also having fun doing it. I'm still in my second year of uni so of course comparing myself to Namanh wouldn't be fair in anyway. Everything is a process, some people got there faster some people are slower and that's completely fine.
@@hoyadonkey but also you become much slower I remember learning stuff that I look back to and I know if I tarted now they would have been way harder for var reasons
Wow this video is amazing!!! after an on-off period of 7+ years of wanting to learn to code I never really got much done (Had 2 kids in that time and renovating a house while working 45+ hours a week!!). So only got to making websites for a few private clients (Bootstrap mainly, plus Wordpress), but actual coding just basics in JavaScript - lost a lot of motivation lately while suffering from Covid. But I found your channel today and LOVE your content! You have motivated me to start again. I am 45 years old and do have some frontend experience in my current insurance job, plus work I have done for clients in the past - but I want to become a React developer (full time job or freelance), so would love some advice on this!! thank you for this channel, you are amazing! Paul, UK
After a long time I found a channel that speakers to me. Even though my scenarios and other things are vastly different than yours but I am very much inspired by your videos. Your videos somehow give me the sparks ⚡️ that I can do it. I tell myself - I love it and I will do it.
Your story is so inspiring bro i was living like nothing ever matter but now i see you need to work hard to have a good job not dreaming of it every day but working hard for it
Hey Namanh Kapur, your journey is amazing. I have also languages during graduation and as well as in job like Java, Android, Html, Css, javascript, Angular, photoshop, adobe XD, Scss, Sass and have also worked on lot of projects in web development which are currently working on live site for clients in a organisation which are being used till now. Provided solutions to the company and made full-fleged websites for the companies too. Currently, i am looking to deep dive more in to the Frameworks and to get more knowledge on to Backend and API'S. I felt happy watching your journey.
A healthy attitude toward rejection is what I have found throughout my career to be a pretty important thing to have. You seem to have had that nailed down at an early stage in your career. Kudos!
Dude that's great storytelling! 🙂 I've been wanting to make an article or something about my 10 years of coding too. I started studying CS in 2009, graduated in 2015, worked as SWE until 2018, then took a sabbatical year studying in a Bible Institute in Hungary, then did a MS in a program about visual arts and technologies, and have been in tech interviews for the past year
I found your channel today and it helped me a lot! I'm a computer science student and i'm having trouble finding my first job as a programmer, but your videos inspired me a lot to keep trying and improving! Thank you
Thank you for this amazing, inspirational video! It excites me to learn that failure will be a part of all the achievements and progress to come - and to be discouraged by it. I am only starting my CS journey, already faced my first few rejections from a few Universities, but thank you, I feel much more excited now!
Hey Namanh! Here's a 30-something with no experience in this whatsoever and wanting to dabble in this and learn and see where it goes. Big leap from my previous experience in International Business, Human Resources, and Nonprofits--but I am excited! Thank you for the encouragement!
wow... you had such an amazing path throughout your student career... me with 33 I'm trying to get into this amazing world of coding... but most of the times i tell to myself that i don't have what it takes... but I'll still try my best... your history is very motivational... let's keep going forward !
i just started learning python i know close to nothing about coding so ya lemme subscribe since this channel seems informative for someone such as myself
Hey this is awesome, I just started in huge company and felling like I don't belong, but your video inspired me, a lot I wanna learn more, be better. Thanks, greetings from Chile.
Great storytelling and an equally amazing growth trajectory too. It wasn’t the smoothest ride but the growth was so evident. I’ graduated last year from university and only started learning to code this January, 2022 but this just reinstated my belief that I’m on the right pact. Thanks for this Namanh!🙌🏻 🇳🇬
Hey Namanh, just found your channel today and you've definitely inspired me to open up my IDE and continue with my personal projects. Also, I really wanna thank you for reminding me about Ça Plane Pour Moi!
This is kind of my story, exciting but I am a self taught software engineer for about 10yrs as well. I wish i saw something like this earlier when i started but I am proud of where i am today as a software engineer.
awesome video, thanks for sharing your experiences Namanh! my CS classes will start april, I am very excited about it, greetings from brazil são paulo!
the highschool you go to as a kid is soooooooooooo important, and it honestly feels like being left out having gone to a small one; no coding courses beyond HTML, no connections to make, etc etc etc. Skip to university, and I just become a big fish in a small pond. This pretty much leads to me feeling like an overachiever, doing a huge multi-year project on my own. Tons of periodic burnout and life stress, since 31 ACT garnered me no scholarships. Dropped out after a year to teach myself for cheaper, and the amount of gatekeeping there is about not having a degree is mf disgusting. Like, why did I spend thousands of gruuling hours pushing myself (when there was no proffessor waiting on my assignment!) if I'm going to be treated like a second class citizen when applying? Not much else to say except that our educational attainment in the US is dog shyt lol All goes back to being grateful for the opportunites you've been given, and try extend an arm to those who haven't had as many as you. It's something I should acknowledge more, but I can't help but feel SO shorted by the price of EDUCATION preventing me from having a real college experience, a piece of paper that is pretty much required to get interviews, etc. How is it acceptable that we gatekeep a decent living from talented people at the point of EDUCATION!? It is genuinely pathetic.
Been loving all of your videos ever since I saw your first "day in the life" video a month ago. And you've doubled your sub count since then! Keep up the good work man.
I am super impressed...and this is coming from a 66 year old developer who just enjoys writing code. Keep up the good work and great attitude. I've liked and subscribed.

That's so cool that you got to study coding in high school! My school never offered any subjects like that
i was definitely lucky, nowadays there are so many online resources which is awesome, democratizing knowledge!
Damn I wish my high school offered computer programming!
Same.
In high school for us they were teaching painting L🤣L

As a CS student in first year of college, this video is so inspiring and motivational. Keep up the great work Namanh.
Thank You Namanh, so inspiring. I had thoughts of giving up several times, but now i will keep coding, keep learning.
I will also do!

I really love your story, I've been a software developer since 2003; and I really can't compare my life with yours
I love how every story is different, mine is different to yours, however, I feel there's always capacity to improve, in and outside IT.

exactly, don’t compare yourself to anyone! my only intention with the video was to share my journey, the ups and downs to hopefully help you in yours
