Yep, and that's why many businesses prefer candidates who have a computer science or related college degree (BS/BA) versus those that are self-taught, or those that only have certs.

You shared some really helpful insights: Reading the documentation, improving active listening skills and even doing more work related to problem solving❤
This is excellent advice! I think this has always been true, but I wish more people would talk about the non tangibles of working in this industry. Good video, dude.
Thank you Brian. I appreciate you and your content. I will keep grinding holistically. I recently started my own tech meet up in NYC for vegans so I could join my professional pursuit with personal values and networking. Definitely easier to keep building projects it feels than reaching out to recruiters or colleagues and the other job hunting stuff Easy to get overwhelmed with all the stuff we need to do to break into to first job and discouraging job market. Staying a little hopeful I can find a good fit of a company to land at one day and enjoy the work
MAN.............. I've been trying to get this younger generation to see how valuable this is. It's a lot to rewrite people's minds to think in this manner honestly. But it's a very simple approach, when you think about it. But for some reason it's difficult for people to grasp this notion. BRILLIANT video man. Definitely will be sharing with my students and people I mentor. You said this very brilliantly.
I've just recently been teaching myself Python, and this is good stuff to know. I wasn't so naive to think coding knowledge alone would get me a high-paying job, but this information cemented that. That fire exit question has me really thinking about how to approach things.
Very foundational key points, especially with regard to the problem solving mindset required in the role. Also, the communication approach with non technical stakeholders. That is something I've seen so many talented techies fail at. Great informative video even if someone isn't a software developer.
Hello, htank you so much for your videos it gave me a clearer path on where to go.. Can you guys advice if i have to take something else first before i start learning javascript and python? or i can start with them already? i have no coding experience.. but i really need to start somewhere in this field.. :( also any recommendations for communities i can join?
The minute you mentioned that question those interviewers asked you which you messed up, my mind started to wander as to how I would answer it and the steps I would take. It's an interesting question, but it's also a bit out there. I definitely want to get into coding and have already been doing what I can.
I'm not sure if this is the right answer, but I would answer that question by telling them that I'd create a process doc (SOP/standardof procedure) with diagrams of where to find walking paths & exits Are you saying that they expected you to create a resolution using coding? If so, how would that be done?
I see you're not harnessing the power of the short contents to develop your audience on different platforms while you could take the most relevant clips from your long videos to make them.
I can clearly see that my video editing agency could help you at this stage. I've sent you an email with our portfolio. If you're interested, we'll make you a video for free to test and after if you're satisfied we will work together.
If you can turn a problem into a solution, anyone can code it. Which is why leetcode interviews are the most useless form of interview for 95% of dev jobs
To be frank, this has always been the case. For anything technical, it's always about solving problems so stakeholders make money.

I wish I could book a call with you, but I am super broke maybe in the future, Thank you for your content.
Brian once again giving great advice without wasting any time, your vids are honestly underrated!
I appreciate that!
Excellent advice, very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
I really needed this... I'm thinking of getting a remote job❤❤
Remote jobs are the best!
New subscriber, good stuff
Same here. I like his perspective in our industry.

It was wayyy out there lol
7:23 You can upload documentation to GPT4.
Embrace change

Are you saying that they expected you to create a resolution using coding? If so, how would that be done?
Not necessarily with coding but the steps I would take to complete a document that was useable for the company.
Is it possible if you could mentor me to get me up to speed as a front end developer
True, that is why i started to learn plumbing, already made 2x money more this month than coding
But if im sefl taught learning how to communicate ?...
how to get better at communication?
Mainly anticipating what someone wants to know and you being able to get that point across clearly.
❤
Is this for self taught developers?
All developers
Coding is for fun. Not for work anybody can code. programming is waaay different.

If u don't solve problems u r not a programmer u'r just playin' with a keyboard
If you can turn a problem into a solution, anyone can code it. Which is why leetcode interviews are the most useless form of interview for 95% of dev jobs
bingo!
Onlyfans, pole dancing & sugar daddy's
Those r the 3 things all u guys need to find. Coding is dead
