No 4: be proactive. I was using a book to study python. I was writing code following along and I felt like I understood what I was doing but at the same time I wasn’t progressing. I then tried Minecraft’s computercraft which was Lua coding. And I took an idea and tried to make it my own with how I would have wanted the program to run.

6:48 My classmate in senior high used google to research about the topic. He ended up finding not only the lecture, but multiple exam with answers liked to it. Which our teacher used later on, lol!
I have been programming for 6 months, recently I started learning how to architect programs and started flow charting out my idea, broke down every variable, class, object and method and now I am just working through the flow chart one step at a time, sometimes updating the flow chart to what worked in practice, if I don't know how to solve a problem I google it. It's been really effective and efficient.
I have literally watched so many videos like this but so far this is the best video I found on TH-cam. I have watched videos having millions of views but not the same knowledge as it is provided in this. This video deserves way more views !! Gonna watch this again and again and gonna make notes! Tysm for the information!☺️☺️
Thank you very much, I'm a computer Engineering student and I keep learning a lot of programming languages but never complete them. I think I am going to stick to one now.
I've been a developer for 3 years and I've done all these mistakes. I think it is not too late for me to start over. These are really great tips. Thanks #PIRATE_KING 👍
As a dev for almost 9 years the independent contributor remark is the most relevant right now. Most of these can be applied across life as well. Good content.
this might not be everyone's way to learn but i found this method is the best way to learn coding (at least for me). by watching tutorials, write down the important elements and notes in word, and then when a section ends, you close the tutorial and then try coding yourself based on the things that you wrote in the word
Those were great advices! This brings back memories of when I started studying Unity. I struggled a lot reading how to program and watching tutorials while I had no real application to what I was trying to learn. Everything got easier when I started copying Atari games and participating in Game Jams. It's been 5 years since then. I still have a lot to learn but at least now I have a great job on the field that gives me the opportunity to learn more complex things.
1. Do it, totally agree. I don't learn from books I learn from watching videos, reading tutorials and tweaking the result then applying it in a real scenario. Also 2. work with the whole chain from code to deployment. I.e lear git, linux, docker, aws, build servers etc. Write code, write tests, write build workflow, package, publish & deploy. This will also help debugging when something goes wrong.
Hi I want to be your students I have been coding for over One month but feel like I don't get it better Only need more foucus To improve my little experience
My major is mathematics. I spent around 2 months with Boot Camp and recently got hired, so yep, I'm a Dev too now, as well as being great at math which I believe helped me grasp complex concepts easily. I don't use any of the math I've learned in my major while I'm coding, but I do use the ability to think and process information that I developed while majoring in math, that ability helped me understand everything better
I am 25 and I come from a strong pure and applied mathematical background, but I am a total newbie in programmation. I please have some questions: 1/ Are SQL, Python and R enough to get a permanent position as a Data Analyst / Data Scientist? 2/ How much time do I need to be able to manage and organize databases, and use them to produce statistical analysis and graphs? 3/ If I am hired, can the employer change his / her mind and ask me to code in other languages that were not written in my curriculum, such as C++ or Java?
I really appreciate these videos. I started python a week back after failing college 4 years back. I've been in the family business ever since. I am now learning and hoping that I get a job as a software engg without a degree.
Just wow. You have absolutely nailed this! Like a philosopher time traveler. Thank you so much for putting this up for us! I’ll be using your grammerly code
Your advice to start doing projects early as possible is absolutely right.. Because i have tried to learn coding through only watching videos and it it gave me only some basic ideas. But I never give up.. Going to start my boot camp soon. I can do many projects there. Project based studies are the best.
I am in the third year of my computer science program, and this vide should have been a mandatory video on day 1 of my first year. Very practical and true. Now I have to go back and persevere through my project now.
The best advice was tray to solve your problem yourself before googling it or telling someone... It was literally good piece of advice and I'm picking this one first
Many programming youtubers only make videos to shill advertisements when they grow big, I really appreciate the fact that you’re different. I don’t mind seeing in video ads, but it gets annoying when creators base all of their videos solely around the ads that they mention in them (ex: nick white, Internet Made Coder, etc). Keep killing it pirate king 👑
Learning how to google is DEFINITELY a skill and what to use from what you google is an even MORE IMPORTANT skill lol sometimes some solutions just don't work for you or are more complicated than you need so you should be able to identify what you need from their solutions and evaluate why and if might work conceptually.
bro what u said abt learning python first before other languages was true. I started taking my course as I.T and used c++ as our first programming language, it was difficult to understand first because of a lot of syntax than python. I tried python and after a few days, I already understand the concept of algorithms and came back to c++ and it made easier for me to understand.
Thank you so much pirate king. I have started learning programming two months ago. And as someone with no sw background, the past two months have been overwhelming but at the same time fun and exciting. I am really glad i came across your video at an early stage of my sw journey.
"Computers can never be wrong but you can" I have to remember that when I am blaming my computer for the mistake because I feel certain that I did everything right, but after some time of looking through my code I realized that I missed that one, or parentheses or that one bracket and as always the analyzer is right and I am wrong 😅
I am 15 year, 2-3 years in programming and I can relate to the regrets you had. I mostly do all of them right now like, yesterday python today lua and tomorrow html and javascript. Sometime Love2d sometimes Unity, sometimes learning from yt/google and sometimes cs50 online. No structure at all I will try to sort everything.
😂Wow, you're so talented. I'm 15, almost 16 next year. Right now I'm practicing the same basics: html css Javascript. I like to do it in the morning and evening. I'm still improving for almost a year now.
"Learn 1 language and learn it deeply." This is the problem I have with the full stack bootcamp I'm going through. Each language they're taking us through is a 3-week course (with the exception of React [6 weeks]), totaling to 10 months. I barely remember anything from the languages we've already gone through, and the course keeps pushing along.
4:15 this… this is how I know we’re going to get along, I hate the delay and it kinda made me hate computers but despite this aversion and studying smt different, I’m still passionate about coding and programming, I just think it’s cool.. thank you Pirate king
Thank you for your great advice! I've been refusing to step out of my comfort zone and learn new skills/framework outside of work because my current job doesn't require any new technology for me to maintain the stuff. I've always dreamed of getting into a FAANG company, but I'm afraid of the tiring interviews and negotiation process (also afraid of being judged by the pros). I'll start Leet-coding!
Hi pirate king thank you for the inspiration, I’m just starting my journey to start coding and I’m starting with Springboard. Thank you for sharing with us! Edit- I start my boot camp ⛺️ on September 12!
3rd year CS student here who knows a bit of coding but forgot how to(fk 2 years online class and my gaming addiction ass). I had been struggling now since i'm planning to go back to zero and start my journey again. So so thankful to have come across this video and help my confused brain find a starting path. I had seen some similar vids but this one is the best! Thanks for making this.
You just blow my mind with lots I can mention, for me, it's been over three months learning coding now though (self taught) current learning DART PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE WITH FLUTTER, honestly it's very hard doing it this way but i just believe that with determination and consistency nothing it is possible, and you just boost my moral thanks man, BRAVO....
Great advice! I’ve been learning for 2 months and always code along when watching or reading courses, it has helped me to learn really fast. I was waiting to be “ready” to start a bigger project and after watching this video I just immediately started with the project I had in mind. To my surprise I realized I already knew how to code most of the project (obviously using Google for a lot of the details) and I found out it is easier for me to take on a big project by dividing it in little steps and solving each one by one, then you realize you were able to accomplish something that looked very challenging at first. Thank you for this great advice!
I have a degree in English language and literary studies. I love to transition to tech. I wish I could get a trainee opportunity, even if not paid, something to keep me active. I learnt HTMl, css and a little JavaScript already
Copying is so helpful when you're completely lost, i became trilingual because all i did was copy native speakers' way of talking, sentence structure, grammar and etc I also became good at drawing because i would watch how a person draws a certain thing and i copy it because trying to figure it out on my own will take time and i end up with no method. I also mastered all my current skills because i started off by copying the hand movements, the thinking process, the method and it's so helpful because your goal is absolutely clear. But now that I'm doing biology i can't get a hold of any method and i thought it was because i became dumb, but it's just naturally exhausting when you're forcing yourself to do something you don't like 😫
I hesitated on leetcoding and build project a month ago because my software engineering degree haven't started yet until a month later. But your video, your journey and yourself just so inspiring, right now I have done 20 mini projects on bootcamp and leetcoding daily, I wish i can become a better person and a greater man since I started to progress as you said in interview! Right now, even my non-engineering girlfriend likes your content. I set myself up to get to FAANG for my intern and graduate goal, if i am lucky enough to make it in FANNG and lucky enough to be working in Seattle, plz let me grab u a cup coffee and new pillow on top of ur legs
This is great! I am in the beginning of my way in programming and I got trapped when I thought that I need to learn a lot of program languages at once. Also I got trapped with passive learning. It's really annoying. All of your advises are extreamely helpful. Also I got trapped with passive learning. It's really annoying. Just get yourself out of this. Just start. Just put your energy in action of coding. All of your advices are extremely helpful. It's a God blessing when such experienced people shared their uncountable knoledge. Thanks a lot. Good luck and be happy!
I keep coming across coding to practice but I kept thinking I needed more knowledge before I can so thank you for this video this has motivated me after feeling down ❤
Hey, great tips! Started CS this year and I really like the carreer! In my college now they're teaching us C only but I plan to learn other languages on the side when I can. I don't know what leet code is, but boy did I learned that ambition, humility and determination are KEY to successfully learn to code, though I think commitment is yet better. When I'm doing a program and it fails, I don't leave the program until I find and fix all possible bugs and it works as I intended. I commit to it. I don't start over unless it's really necessary. A couple good tips here to put into practice are: 1. To find the bug, try and print out the process. See what's going on with the variables, if they're receiving the values they should. 2. Isolate the problem. Once I've worked with the code for a while, I notice I tend to have an idea of where the mistake could be, so I grab that portion of code, I copy and paste it in a new project, then I try to simplify it as much as I can, and that way without the rest of the code around it's much more easier to find the problem with the code and fix it. Then you just copy-paste it again into the original code, and check if it works.
Thanks so much. These advises are super helpful! I have learned coding for about 3 months through Udemy. I want to share some tools that helps me a lot for my learning. Toggle track: It helps me to use and track my time of focus. I set 25 or 30 mins per round for deep focus on coding / learning and take small break for 5 mins. Besides, I will know how much time I spend each day and a week. I usually spend approximately 20-25 hours a week. Notion: I use it to take notes / practices of coding. It has format for different programing languages. For me it is super helpful! Also I can try to categorize different topics / themes or sections that I learn. It becomes an online knowledge base that I can use in my future. Also it can be easily shared through the links. So I can discuss it with my friends. I do enjoy the process of coding, especially make something from 0 to 1. I plan to look for an part-time internship opportunity next month or at the beginning of next year. Hopefully I can be a full-time software developer and keep coding in the future :D
I’m currently learning Python and I’m using example code from simple projects someone has offered as free. I type out the example code in the IDE line by line and not copying and pasting. It helps me to see my mistakes such as a typing error when I run debug. It also helps me see what the lines are actually going to do in the program. Yes learning by doing is necessary. Hopefully soon, I will be able to write a Python chat bot, that’s my goal anyway.
Thanks for sharing these amazing advices! I would also do all of what you advise, if I could start over. Number 4, being proactive resonate very strongly with me, it is impossible to be 100% ready, most of what I learn and internalise are through passion projects that I dreamt of doing, even though I am clueless on how to do most half of the features! Well sometimes one just had to take the leap of faith, and learn things on the go, while believing it work out, just like Luffy senpai!
I started the same way as you in the 90's by reading everything I could but couldn't find good documentation online at the time to get qbasic to work on my parents computer so never actually wrote code until college in 2001. That is the thing I would have changed and would have started sooner with actually writing code.
Start LeetCode early - best bet. Same thing with prepping for college - start the SAT early :). The problem with that is it still takes a ton of time, though. It would be really useful, if you could reduce that time by at least half. How is that for a space-time complexity problem!? :)
I learned to program about 6 years ago from your unity videos. I still remember how amazing it was to have those first games run. Since then I have learned more than 20 languages and even though I have drifted away from unity and game development, and more into node and backend web dev, game development will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you for making these awesome tutorials years later for new people to try and experience the same thing that I did.
5. Invest 10. Win These are the ones that are found so useful. They were so original to me. In this video I really realized that I was not investing on myself and which of course I really needed it. From now on I will try to invest on myself necessarily. Thanks a lot pirate king for such a video.
This is going to be my starting point, i was overdosing myself by learning different lang at the safe time but this will be my new guidings. Appreciate your work PIRATE KING
Good advices, as a beginner I also jump around many languages and projects. It looks like you're right, focusing on a good size project with one language is way more marketable than "hey look at my 75 github non-finished projects written in 15 different programming languages" Yet I won't focus on one project only because I qualify my learning style as "organic" and not "laser like", at the most I can have something which I come back frequently, yet roaming around and seeding ideas. Like a big tree in the forest with many little trees. I bet some will survive and become the new big tree in the futur.
Glad to hear Leet code bites for others too. I’ve been doing dev for nearly 20 years and somehow managed to avoid it until now. Failing hurt initially. Then I accepted it as a learning opportunity and actually started enjoying it. Oh and I did get my next job 😊
Man. I started learning Python for a while but I quit it after learning for a while. Now all i know in Python is /print() and make a variable and store values on it. I'm learning C++ right now, I know C++ is hard for a beginner like me, but I'm not giving up. Thank you for making this video!
Honestly focusing on one coding language was the hardest hit. Been doing several coding languages but always have been learning all of its foundations only. Wasn't a good strategy. And yes, I'll be focusing more on Python. I think I'll start there
i just found your youtube channel and I'm quite interested, and amazed. I just started coding with Corsera doing the front end dev cert. I am finding it hard, but this video alone is helping a lot. Thank you for putting your information out there. Keep it up!

I’m 38 stay at home mom and just joined a boot camp. I’m not traditional, but super motivated. Thank you for the tips!! Cross your fingers for me! ❤
🤞
Cómo vas tengo 21 años, también estoy iniciando 😅
Hey Amber, how's it going with you? I hope you've improved so much now 😊
Any update Amber
I graduated this past Wednesday!! ♥️♥️ I have my first Junior dev interview today!!! Cross your fingers for me!!
6:48 My classmate in senior high used google to research about the topic. He ended up finding not only the lecture, but multiple exam with answers liked to it. Which our teacher used later on, lol!
I have been programming for 6 months, recently I started learning how to architect programs and started flow charting out my idea, broke down every variable, class, object and method and now I am just working through the flow chart one step at a time, sometimes updating the flow chart to what worked in practice, if I don't know how to solve a problem I google it. It's been really effective and efficient.
I have literally watched so many videos like this but so far this is the best video I found on TH-cam. I have watched videos having millions of views but not the same knowledge as it is provided in this. This video deserves way more views !! Gonna watch this again and again and gonna make notes! Tysm for the information!☺️☺️
Thanks! xD

@@premlalmahto2997 nope, I liked his content
this is actually the most awesome coding advise I have ever come across! cheers to you my friend!
Thank you very much, I'm a computer Engineering student and I keep learning a lot of programming languages but never complete them. I think I am going to stick to one now.
"Learn to accept failure as a steppingstone to victory." ❤
I've been a developer for 3 years and I've done all these mistakes. I think it is not too late for me to start over. These are really great tips. Thanks #PIRATE_KING 👍
As a dev for almost 9 years the independent contributor remark is the most relevant right now. Most of these can be applied across life as well. Good content.
“Just do it” is probably the best advice i would take. I am losing a lot of time just being anxious at starting any projects at all.
I am starting python today. The things you said here gave me the right mindset and motivation. Thank you!
How is it going after 1 year?
He dropped it after two months or less
this might not be everyone's way to learn but i found this method is the best way to learn coding (at least for me). by watching tutorials, write down the important elements and notes in word, and then when a section ends, you close the tutorial and then try coding yourself based on the things that you wrote in the word
Those were great advices! This brings back memories of when I started studying Unity. I struggled a lot reading how to program and watching tutorials while I had no real application to what I was trying to learn. Everything got easier when I started copying Atari games and participating in Game Jams. It's been 5 years since then. I still have a lot to learn but at least now I have a great job on the field that gives me the opportunity to learn more complex things.

Thank so much
By far THE BEST "if I could start over" coding video I've come across. Thank you for the tip about putting project on AWS
1. Do it, totally agree. I don't learn from books I learn from watching videos, reading tutorials and tweaking the result then applying it in a real scenario. Also 2. work with the whole chain from code to deployment. I.e lear git, linux, docker, aws, build servers etc. Write code, write tests, write build workflow, package, publish & deploy. This will also help debugging when something goes wrong.
Hi
I want to be your students
I have been coding for over One month but feel like I don't get it better
Only need more foucus
To improve my little experience
My major is mathematics. I spent around 2 months with Boot Camp and recently got hired, so yep, I'm a Dev too now, as well as being great at math which I believe helped me grasp complex concepts easily. I don't use any of the math I've learned in my major while I'm coding, but I do use the ability to think and process information that I developed while majoring in math, that ability helped me understand everything better
what you mean by boot camp
I am 25 and I come from a strong pure and applied mathematical background, but I am a total newbie in programmation. I please have some questions:
1/ Are SQL, Python and R enough to get a permanent position as a Data Analyst / Data Scientist?
2/ How much time do I need to be able to manage and organize databases, and use them to produce statistical analysis and graphs?
3/ If I am hired, can the employer change his / her mind and ask me to code in other languages that were not written in my curriculum, such as C++ or Java?
@@b.t4604 I hope so haha!
cool
I really appreciate these videos. I started python a week back after failing college 4 years back. I've been in the family business ever since. I am now learning and hoping that I get a job as a software engg without a degree.
Just wow. You have absolutely nailed this! Like a philosopher time traveler. Thank you so much for putting this up for us! I’ll be using your grammerly code
I really like the part where you said you’re a winner if you strive to be better than someone you were yesterday.
my friends are attorneys
Your advice to start doing projects early as possible is absolutely right.. Because i have tried to learn coding through only watching videos and it it gave me only some basic ideas. But I never give up.. Going to start my boot camp soon. I can do many projects there. Project based studies are the best.
Hey if you don't mind how do you join bootcamps. I am a absolute beginner and learning c++ so how should I start doing projects.
I am in the third year of my computer science program, and this vide should have been a mandatory video on day 1 of my first year. Very practical and true. Now I have to go back and persevere through my project now.
I spent over 4 years reading laws
Hell man.. This video is most precious than gold. Thank you very much!
Learning and mastering a language is the key to a successful programming career. Thanks for this wonderful video. It's amazing.
Should i master Python or Java?
@@GodsChild-cd1xn C/C++
from so many programmers out there in you tube you are the only one that speaks to me.
Teaching myself to code and looking for a path to really master first. Thank you,, very motivational!!
The best advice was tray to solve your problem yourself before googling it or telling someone... It was literally good piece of advice and I'm picking this one first
Many programming youtubers only make videos to shill advertisements when they grow big, I really appreciate the fact that you’re different. I don’t mind seeing in video ads, but it gets annoying when creators base all of their videos solely around the ads that they mention in them (ex: nick white, Internet Made Coder, etc).
Keep killing it pirate king 👑
What are you talking about, he's literally advertising in this video, apple and grammarly
Learning how to google is DEFINITELY a skill and what to use from what you google is an even MORE IMPORTANT skill lol sometimes some solutions just don't work for you or are more complicated than you need so you should be able to identify what you need from their solutions and evaluate why and if might work conceptually.
bro what u said abt learning python first before other languages was true. I started taking my course as I.T and used c++ as our first programming language, it was difficult to understand first because of a lot of syntax than python. I tried python and after a few days, I already understand the concept of algorithms and came back to c++ and it made easier for me to understand.
I’m doing the same thing understanding c++ as a beginner is difficult so i decided to learn python
Yeah, but C++ is the mother of all languages you know.
@@migeenmagar673 same I am a 15 year old learning how to use python. After I get used to the language then I will move on to others.
Meanwhile (C , DSA) 😮
@@kanaotsuyuri546 how is it going man
Thank you so much pirate king. I have started learning programming two months ago. And as someone with no sw background, the past two months have been overwhelming but at the same time fun and exciting. I am really glad i came across your video at an early stage of my sw journey.
Should I get into to it?
"Computers can never be wrong but you can"
I have to remember that when I am blaming my computer for the mistake because I feel certain that I did everything right, but after some time of looking through my code I realized that I missed that one, or parentheses or that one bracket and as always the analyzer is right and I am wrong 😅
Badly needed to hear this! Thanks so much. Picked up a lot from you man
One of the best suggestions of all time after watching tons of videos I can say that for sure .
Surely recommended to everyone
I am 15 year, 2-3 years in programming and I can relate to the regrets you had. I mostly do all of them right now like, yesterday python today lua and tomorrow html and javascript. Sometime Love2d sometimes Unity, sometimes learning from yt/google and sometimes cs50 online. No structure at all I will try to sort everything.
Hey maybe we can be friends so we can work together
😂Wow, you're so talented. I'm 15, almost 16 next year. Right now I'm practicing the same basics: html css Javascript. I like to do it in the morning and evening. I'm still improving for almost a year now.
"Learn 1 language and learn it deeply." This is the problem I have with the full stack bootcamp I'm going through. Each language they're taking us through is a 3-week course (with the exception of React [6 weeks]), totaling to 10 months. I barely remember anything from the languages we've already gone through, and the course keeps pushing along.
I am starting at the age of 28 with less than 3.0 GPA and one year to finish and this made me feel like i CAN do it, thank you!
Dammit! I wish I've watch this from the day it was posted. Very encouraging! Kudos Engineer Pirate King!
4:15 this… this is how I know we’re going to get along, I hate the delay and it kinda made me hate computers but despite this aversion and studying smt different, I’m still passionate about coding and programming, I just think it’s cool.. thank you Pirate king
Tqsm literally i needed some hope... & Here i got glimpses of wht i should do now!! It's so helpful for me!
Thank you for your great advice!
I've been refusing to step out of my comfort zone and learn new skills/framework outside of work because my current job doesn't require any new technology for me to maintain the stuff.
I've always dreamed of getting into a FAANG company, but I'm afraid of the tiring interviews and negotiation process (also afraid of being judged by the pros).
I'll start Leet-coding!
Genuinely this is the best advice. As a programmer my self active learning has been game changing.
Hi pirate king thank you for the inspiration, I’m just starting my journey to start coding and I’m starting with Springboard. Thank you for sharing with us!
Edit- I start my boot camp ⛺️ on September 12!
3rd year CS student here who knows a bit of coding but forgot how to(fk 2 years online class and my gaming addiction ass). I had been struggling now since i'm planning to go back to zero and start my journey again. So so thankful to have come across this video and help my confused brain find a starting path. I had seen some similar vids but this one is the best! Thanks for making this.

You just blow my mind with lots I can mention, for me, it's been over three months learning coding now though (self taught) current learning DART PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE WITH FLUTTER, honestly it's very hard doing it this way but i just believe that with determination and consistency nothing it is possible, and you just boost my moral thanks man, BRAVO....
love the way you explain things so smart and fast
APPRECIATE THE ADVICE!!!!! I struggle with finding ideas for projects, this video helps will help me out!
This is my first year on my computer science career in UPC(Spain), hope i can get good grades, nice video! it inspired me!
Great advice! I’ve been learning for 2 months and always code along when watching or reading courses, it has helped me to learn really fast.
I was waiting to be “ready” to start a bigger project and after watching this video I just immediately started with the project I had in mind.
To my surprise I realized I already knew how to code most of the project (obviously using Google for a lot of the details) and I found out it is easier for me to take on a big project by dividing it in little steps and solving each one by one, then you realize you were able to accomplish something that looked very challenging at first.
Thank you for this great advice!
I think out of all the videos I've watched, this has helped me more then most videos i've watched with this topic.
I have a degree in English language and literary studies. I love to transition to tech. I wish I could get a trainee opportunity, even if not paid, something to keep me active. I learnt HTMl, css and a little JavaScript already
Absolutely love this. Thank you for this video. You did make a difference in my mindset.
Copying is so helpful when you're completely lost, i became trilingual because all i did was copy native speakers' way of talking, sentence structure, grammar and etc
I also became good at drawing because i would watch how a person draws a certain thing and i copy it because trying to figure it out on my own will take time and i end up with no method.
I also mastered all my current skills because i started off by copying the hand movements, the thinking process, the method and it's so helpful because your goal is absolutely clear.
But now that I'm doing biology i can't get a hold of any method and i thought it was because i became dumb, but it's just naturally exhausting when you're forcing yourself to do something you don't like 😫
The quote from FFX got me liking the video. No doubt, no doubt at all. Thanks Daniel.
I hesitated on leetcoding and build project a month ago because my software engineering degree haven't started yet until a month later. But your video, your journey and yourself just so inspiring, right now I have done 20 mini projects on bootcamp and leetcoding daily, I wish i can become a better person and a greater man since I started to progress as you said in interview! Right now, even my non-engineering girlfriend likes your content. I set myself up to get to FAANG for my intern and graduate goal, if i am lucky enough to make it in FANNG and lucky enough to be working in Seattle, plz let me grab u a cup coffee and new pillow on top of ur legs
Will look forward to it!

As an amateur, who's learning how to code, the 'dont fight your laptop' hits home. But these are some great tips to follow!
I’m 16 senior in Highschool and I’m trying to learn coding for my future lol thanks
You have NO IDEA how helpful this video was!!! Thank you!!!
This is great! I am in the beginning of my way in programming and I got trapped when I thought that I need to learn a lot of program languages at once. Also I got trapped with passive learning. It's really annoying. All of your advises are extreamely helpful. Also I got trapped with passive learning. It's really annoying. Just get yourself out of this. Just start. Just put your energy in action of coding. All of your advices are extremely helpful. It's a God blessing when such experienced people shared their uncountable knoledge. Thanks a lot. Good luck and be happy!

I keep coming across coding to practice but I kept thinking I needed more knowledge before I can so thank you for this video this has motivated me after feeling down ❤
Hey, great tips! Started CS this year and I really like the carreer! In my college now they're teaching us C only but I plan to learn other languages on the side when I can.
I don't know what leet code is, but boy did I learned that ambition, humility and determination are KEY to successfully learn to code, though I think commitment is yet better.
When I'm doing a program and it fails, I don't leave the program until I find and fix all possible bugs and it works as I intended. I commit to it. I don't start over unless it's really necessary. A couple good tips here to put into practice are:
1. To find the bug, try and print out the process. See what's going on with the variables, if they're receiving the values they should.
2. Isolate the problem. Once I've worked with the code for a while, I notice I tend to have an idea of where the mistake could be, so I grab that portion of code, I copy and paste it in a new project, then I try to simplify it as much as I can, and that way without the rest of the code around it's much more easier to find the problem with the code and fix it. Then you just copy-paste it again into the original code, and check if it works.
I'm a starting college student taking a course of BSIT, this video is really useful, thank you (I'll try my best to be successful in life)
Thanks so much. These advises are super helpful! I have learned coding for about 3 months through Udemy.
I want to share some tools that helps me a lot for my learning.
Toggle track:
It helps me to use and track my time of focus. I set 25 or 30 mins per round for deep focus on coding / learning and take small break for 5 mins. Besides, I will know how much time I spend each day and a week. I usually spend approximately 20-25 hours a week.
Notion:
I use it to take notes / practices of coding. It has format for different programing languages. For me it is super helpful! Also I can try to categorize different topics / themes or sections that I learn. It becomes an online knowledge base that I can use in my future. Also it can be easily shared through the links. So I can discuss it with my friends.
I do enjoy the process of coding, especially make something from 0 to 1. I plan to look for an part-time internship opportunity next month or at the beginning of next year. Hopefully I can be a full-time software developer and keep coding in the future :D
I’m currently learning Python and I’m using example code from simple projects someone has offered as free. I type out the example code in the IDE line by line and not copying and pasting. It helps me to see my mistakes such as a typing error when I run debug. It also helps me see what the lines are actually going to do in the program. Yes learning by doing is necessary. Hopefully soon, I will be able to write a Python chat bot, that’s my goal anyway.
Now ChatGPT is every developers best friend
I don't know why this video don't have view. Thanks for making the video, it was very motivating.
Thanks for sharing these amazing advices! I would also do all of what you advise, if I could start over.
Number 4, being proactive resonate very strongly with me, it is impossible to be 100% ready, most of what I learn and internalise are through passion projects that I dreamt of doing, even though I am clueless on how to do most half of the features!
Well sometimes one just had to take the leap of faith, and learn things on the go, while believing it work out, just like Luffy senpai!
I’ve seen ALOT of videos on coding tips; this is by far the BEST video I’ve seen. Really solid advice and points here, well done!
I started the same way as you in the 90's by reading everything I could but couldn't find good documentation online at the time to get qbasic to work on my parents computer so never actually wrote code until college in 2001. That is the thing I would have changed and would have started sooner with actually writing code.
I think your video will be the last that actually helps me try or learn programming. Others will be just googling :D.
This is a great video PK! So motivating watching. I've saved as a reference every time I start second guessing myself.
I love your video. Thank you for sharing advice on how to learn to code. I found it very helpful.
Start LeetCode early - best bet. Same thing with prepping for college - start the SAT early :). The problem with that is it still takes a ton of time, though. It would be really useful, if you could reduce that time by at least half. How is that for a space-time complexity problem!? :)
Thank you! I'm just starting out learning to code to switch careers. I needed to hear this💪
I learned to program about 6 years ago from your unity videos. I still remember how amazing it was to have those first games run. Since then I have learned more than 20 languages and even though I have drifted away from unity and game development, and more into node and backend web dev, game development will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you for making these awesome tutorials years later for new people to try and experience the same thing that I did.
This is an Amazing one In TH-cam I have ever Found To Acknowledge and Start the Journey Aggressively
5. Invest
10. Win
These are the ones that are found so useful. They were so original to me.
In this video I really realized that I was not investing on myself and which of course I really needed it. From now on I will try to invest on myself necessarily.
Thanks a lot pirate king for such a video.
Bro is Coding Life! nurturing successful people! Great Video!
Nice video dude !!!!!!
This is going to be my starting point, i was overdosing myself by learning different lang at the safe time but this will be my new guidings.
Appreciate your work PIRATE KING
6:50 damn that's absolutely true
Also thanks 😊
As a software engineer i must say these are the most practical and useful advices.
thank you so much
I am just getting started so this is a very helpful video.😁
It is 1yr now, how is it going
Good advices, as a beginner I also jump around many languages and projects.
It looks like you're right, focusing on a good size project with one language is way more marketable than "hey look at my 75 github non-finished projects written in 15 different programming languages"
Yet I won't focus on one project only because I qualify my learning style as "organic" and not "laser like", at the most I can have something which I come back frequently, yet roaming around and seeding ideas. Like a big tree in the forest with many little trees. I bet some will survive and become the new big tree in the futur.
I enjoyed this video so much! as a freshman at computer science school, i appreciate it.
Glad to hear Leet code bites for others too. I’ve been doing dev for nearly 20 years and somehow managed to avoid it until now. Failing hurt initially. Then I accepted it as a learning opportunity and actually started enjoying it. Oh and I did get my next job 😊
Man. I started learning Python for a while but I quit it after learning for a while. Now all i know in Python is /print() and make a variable and store values on it. I'm learning C++ right now, I know C++ is hard for a beginner like me, but I'm not giving up. Thank you for making this video!
This is arguably the best video of its kind.
Honestly focusing on one coding language was the hardest hit. Been doing several coding languages but always have been learning all of its foundations only. Wasn't a good strategy. And yes, I'll be focusing more on Python. I think I'll start there
i just found your youtube channel and I'm quite interested, and amazed. I just started coding with Corsera doing the front end dev cert. I am finding it hard, but this video alone is helping a lot. Thank you for putting your information out there. Keep it up!
Thank you , It really eased my worry that I might have stepped to the world of coding in a wrong way.😖
I did not expect FFX to be in this video. TH-cam's machine learning for algorithm is something else.
