Pro Tip: Get familiar with the debugger and how it works. I love print statements as much as the next developer but built-in debuggers are the next level.
What I love about your content is that there is absolutely no fluff. It’s all actionable, real useful advice. If I ever go want to go the web development or front end route, I’ll consider your Freemote course. Right now I’m hyper focused on Python only since I want to get into automation and data analytics/science and maybe some ML algorithms.
Really digging your channel @aaronjack. Thanks for the post and continued motivation. I’m beginning my new career in tech this summer with a government paid program and I can’t wait to explore the future possibilities a tech career has to offer. Thanks again for the post.
Awesome man, I love the realistic content that is exactly the things people need to hear. we can breakdown the idea the programming is for certain. " gifted" people but when we break it down it is such list of skills which you are doing very well. 👊💻🤓
Debugging is the one skill to rule them all. I started late on a project that used complex XSLT scripts. I didn't know even the basics of that language. But I found out there was an XSLT debugger in our XML tool. Between that and Google (and the language spec was always open in my browser), by about 2 months, I was showing other people how to make their scripts work.
As someone who really struggles breaking down a project and figuring out what code to use for each step, should I slow down on learning the code (Python) and invest more time into things like problem solving, logical thinking, and basic psychology? I'm a huge gamer, and I did very badly in school due to gaming (and professional sport), so I figured if I found some games like sudoku, and problem solving websites, that I could do those to try and help with where I'm stuck? apart from that, I touch type ~120-140wpm (yay for gaming!)
Don’t have enough money for the boot camp. Ive been studying independently now for about a month. I’m thankful for the free content. Thank you for the hard work !
You missed collaboration and source control.. project management.. whiteboarding ideas, Documentation and code quality.. maybe you can do another top 10 :)
Ecommerce developer for Freelancing? I`m building a ecommerce app , I`ve used the Spring Boot Framework to build the backend part + MySQL Database , but i don`t have any experience Angular Framework for the Front End , so I`m stuck in that part
Aaron on all your videos I always click "like" first, then watch the whole video. Your videos never disappoints. Your production quality is out of this world. Keep it up Brother.
Hey could you make a video talking more about what’s needed for this next wave of digital activity for the human race, specifically decentralization and eCommerce? What’s needed for eCommerce? Mobile? Web? Desktop? Other? Shopify developers can get by with basic HTML, CSS & JS (stated in their website). Is that what you mean?
Can you make a video about “getting stuck for a software engineer”, when developer gets stressed, cannot move on, getting harder and harder to keep attention on work cause gets difficult to figure out, stressful. Deadlines! and there are 10+ files of long code… too much material to understand and go through… STRESS FOR A SOFTWARE ENGINEER 👨💻 What Tips you can suggest?
My approach is to make it work and then make it work faster/better, but never have bugs. When falling asleep I think about the project and I sleep/dream on it and in the morning (noon for me) there is clarity, I am super productive.
I can touch type but not for symbols or numbers. Normal keys I can type like 60-70 wpm. The typing tests are all different, so they are not very accurate. I have had ones saying 100 wpm and 60 wpm.
I never met a programmer who has to look at the keyboard to type... Plenty of people trying to be programmers who have to look at the keyboard to type lol
I have like one machine I need to look at the keyboard on, but that is my GPD Win Max, which while it falls a bit short on the gaming promises it makes it does make for one hell of a sturdy travel machine, even if it's keyboard is a bit wonky. But I use a logitech wireless on that 90% of the time anyway.
Look man I don’t know how you do it. Every topic you choose to make a video on no matter how played out; your take is always hyper impactful compared to the hundreds of other videos on exactly the same subject. It’s almost like you were an actual developer in San Francisco LOL. Amazing when someone with real world experience gets the mic.
I have completed my graduation in science stream in 2018 in which I score only 42%. I had also completed my diploma course in electronics and telecommunication in 2020 with 85%. I know my grades and degree doesn't matter what really matters is my skills. Now a days I am learning web development through TH-cam. I have learned HTML , CSS and right now I in JavaScript. My question is is a computer science degree is necessary to become a web developer. Will I get a job without any computer science degree. Sometimes it demotivates me Please suggest me what should I do?
A computer science degree isn't, but a degree is. Getting a job with a degree period is magnitudes easier than trying to get a job without one, even if you have the most basic degree. You can get a degree in cs if you would like, but it's not necessary, because simply having a degree is good enough for most companies. Just starting build your portfolio that is the next most important thing you can do, especially as someone without a cs degree.
Yes, I love these vids man! You should grab a group of 5-8 developers that code in various stacks/languages relevant to the videos you make (front end, back end, full stack, react, JQuery, Python, etc). Either give them a structure concerning what programming topics you want to make a video about or give them free range to come up with their own. Once a week meet with them on zoom and have them pitch you what they came up with. After the meeting you can decide for yourself if any of them were worth it or not. I think that could help get your view count back up
I have a boss who keeps changing the software and by changing so creating inconsistencies in the database like there is no field to show in some page and I have to add a new sql field and fill it with dummy data so it doesn't throw a null field error. I am tired of this. I have been telling him that this is not how it should work for months but he keeps avoiding my suggestions and keeps telling me that investors want this and that randomly... At first I designed this software to be perfectly fast. But now I want to re-write it cause of too many random rushed needs requested by the boss. I hate it what do you think I should do? I told him that I need to re-write this 9 months ago and he refused and continued to add ridiculous functions which were not in the phase 1 plan on top. I hate it. He does not understand how the software runs and how it will become slow like wordpress is once it's floaded with data cause the database runs on ram and once ram is floaded it'll become slow...
@@berekettsegu2179 I would say PHP and Ruby, although there seems to be more PHP based jobs because there are more platforms built with it: WooCommerce, Magento, X-cart, Open Cart, Drupal Commerce, Presta Shop, Zen Cart, and Laravel for highly customized E-commerce solutions. Shopify is based on Ruby, which is also highly popular,
dude your my mentor you are going to make me rich my typing speeds are all the wayy up from my time working NYS tax dept call center answering 90 calls a day and logging the call simmultaneouly made me typing savage soon i will be pro freelancer cuz your free course!!!
i dont agree with the REACT thing. So far Vuejs is as good, just hasnt been around as much as REACT. Plus the market to get a job as a react dev now seems harder as they require more experience/10x Devs but i guess whatever works for anyone
Typing speed does not improve your efficiency. You might think it does, but you are probably not thinking long enough about what you are coding. At least as a backend developer, you should take more time about what you are writing instead of actually writing it. Most of the time, I stop typing after every single line of code that I write and think about if it is correct and optimal. This leads to very efficient code that contains little to no bugs. Fast typing can produce bugs that could delay your work by several hours. Taking your time obviously decreases your wpm, but can save you hours of debugging instead.
Wow 4 years experience as a dev. My goodness so much. That's impressive.. Top skill type fast. No I would say it is better to be slow and make correct decisions. Typing too fast can cause more problems than take more time to resolve.
It is also applicable to shortcuts, I have 3 of exp in frontend and after 2.5 years I see the full potencial in shortcuts, I'm like neo in matrix because I know what I want to do, thats why at the beginning shortcuts will not help you much ;)
When in doubt, print it out! 99% of what's out there is just noise, and you would have to filter through it(information) fast! Don't reinvent the wheel.
Something about keyboard mastery rubs me the wrong way. What about people who are software engineers but do all their work through speech commands and eye tracking software? Does that mean they will never be good software developers because they will never master the keyboard? I don’t think so. My 2 cents: while having motor skills can certainly help, I would instead focus on being a better thinker. Being a better thinker and a better problem solver will not only enable you find solutions to problems faster, but it may also help with finding simpler solutions. Put those two together and you will have a bigger impact on your own projects and in a team setting.
Keyboard mastery does not matter at all. It does not matter if it takes 1 hour more because you are a slow writer. Does not make you any better software developer.

This was so so helpful. Thanks so much. Thought I was the only in some situations.
This was fantastic
Loved it

nice tips bro .. tks
Hi Aaron, who is editing your videos? Could u recommend it to us? For a video in that length, how long did you or your editor spent editing it?
Great stuff
Thx!
Printing the value inside the loop problem.....😂😂
I can relate!!

I always say this to my junior engineers. This is very much needed for any developer or anybody who works on a computer not just the programmer.
Amazing

It helps to be classical pianist too-finger dexterity . Now if only I can type clean code lol
this is really smart and the truth..the future mind of a human will work like storing the keys and outsourcing the values. like a split dictionairy
