I love these tips, except, even if you told my beginner self these I doubt I would have listened unfortunately. Now I know to take it slow and success comes with progress. I used to always binge watch and try to do a ton of things, but end up burning out or forgetting most things and having to rewatch. It's just this undying pressure to "catch up" to everyone else, but a lot of times that "catch up" is made up in my own head.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Really appreciate it.
I can relate to it!!! It's like you have given words to my thought
So true man...even I get troubled many times with the same issues u just said 🥺
I am in the same boat; binge watching, forgetting, re-watching...
That catch up feeling is such a strong concept that's very real.
Not everyone is capable of doing programming. It is not necessarily about intelligence, it has to do with enjoying problem solving and puzzles. I came from an industry as far away from programming as possible. I was a truck driver for 15 years. However, I was always tech savy, and did very well in school. I finally decided to go to school and get my degree in software engineering. There is a very real thing call "Imposter syndrome", were you think you dont know enough and you will never get it. This is where having a support system can really help. EVERYONE struggles in the beginning, and we all have to learn everyday on improve. I am 10 years in now and still learning new stuff all the time. Another thing I would suggest is stop going into tutorial hell and watching videos. Spend a little time learning, then just jump in and create something yourself. You will not learn just watching and doing tutorials. You have to just jump in with both feet and do it. I have now been doing this for 10 years and I am the Director of Technology for an Environmental consulting company.
I wanna have a career in tech too
Thanks for sharing your inspiring story!
Inspiring I’m going to school and have been for a month and I also have been driving semi truck for 9 years
"It is not necessarily about intelligence"
Are you trying to pretend you are an example of this simply because you drove a truck? Cos you literally wrote in the next line:
"I was always tech savy, and did very well in school"
It takes intelligence to solve problems and puzzles.
I just started a boot camp 1 month ago and you just explained everything i feel. But used words lol
The best thing about your video is that you started by talking about your own difficulties and fears, and showing that you overcame it. Thats inspiring cause its relatable. Thanks for opening up and giving tips for the newcomers, buddy!
I started coding a few month back. Today I just wanted to give up. Because I was feeling like I am not good at all at coding. But after watching this video I realised that I need to keep trying. Need to take small small steps. Really motivated video.
Happy to help. Good luck 👍
Coding is a skill and an art. Reading some open source code will make you a better programmer, it's kinda like how watching a pro TH-camr play a game will make you a better player; as you get better you will pick up on more stuff
Lol u started a few months ago? I've been quitting and starting over for 6 - 7 years until December 2023 where something clicked and I crawled through beginner projects like to-do lists and all that.
For the past 4 months my life got too busy so I couldn't build on my coding but I'm back as of 3 weeks ago and happy that whatever that clicked in December is like muscle memory and I'm back to my text based game. I am actually thinking of building UI for it 🤔 . I'm a python learner
You are one of the most perfect content creators ever I seen. Respect from my core of heart.
Thanks 🙏
I teach programming and honestly, it's hard now as an experienced programmer to teach beginners because I really have to put myself in their shoes as I was years ago and try to remember how exactly did I wish I was taught when I didnt understand code.
Its really difficult, you have to make numerous assumptions:
Do I have to teach this person how to create folders? How to save a file? What an integer means?
Do they already know some basic programming and if so how do I NOT make it boring but at the same time not complex?
Coding was a representation of me running towards, not away, from something that terrified me. I was actually pretty horrible at math, programming, physics ect. But there was something inside of me that told me I had to face it, nf so I have and continue to, and enjoy my job. I love the challenge and at the end of the day knowing that I'm putting myself in front of challenges everyday
That's inspirational. Thanks for sharing, Garrett!
That's totally me
I'm subscriber since you guys had 5k. The content is on point and very well polished. Congrats for the fast growth, well deserved! Keep it up.
Greetings from Brazil.
Thank you Amazing Savant 😊 so elated that you were part of our journey from the beginning, just like we are part of yours now! We’re so grateful 🙏
Great mentor you are. I thank TH-cam for introducing such an amazing person to me. Big fan of you man!
Thanks Vik!
this made me feel so much better, ive always had difficulty learning to code and i felt really alone in it its nice to hear that others go through the same issue
Your not alone
Yeh it's hard man I'm a beginner and close to Quiting
ya whenever i overwhelm , feel doubtful about my coding or Data science . Sahil will bring up a video to motivate me . Thanks you Sahil
Always happy to help. Good luck!
Hey , a comment stalker here ;) . I have a question , what did you choose?
1) don't overlearn
2) understand limitations
3) understand what you're getting into it
4) what to learn
5) how to learn
6) list down resources
7) coding buddies
8) law of correspondence
This is such high quality stuff! We can’t get such pure and deep insights from anywhere else. Thank you and keep you the amazing work!!!
This video made me push back to achieve my goal, i was getting distracted from my path but this video changed my mind and now i am gonna follow my path again .
Thanks for this awesome content bro🤗
Good luck, Debsourya! 👍
I am one who gave up on coding, but I will say this I never slept so good in my entire life, coding really works your brain. I have huge respect for the guy second sit there and code all day long it’s extremely boring but cool when you do something that is cool. I got all the way to the point where I could make a graphical user interface and it worked somewhat
Why gave up?
I can watch this happily cause ill never quit, get more excited every day, I know there will be hard points, but ill breathe, go away, come back, and again till I find a solution.
That’s the spirit 👍
Tbh.. I am in a decent college but due to lack of consistency.. I wasted my 2 years.. And here I am in my third year..
I was starting to hate myself until I watched this.. Im feeling ready to get back at coding from square 1..maybe a tough choice.
But i hope something would workout at the end..Thanks for this Sahil🌺
Good luck, Ahvi 👍✌️
same bro same
This man went to the finest college in India . Huge respect sir 💯
Thanks Shree.
Wow! You are like soft spoken Indian programming angel! Thanks for great advices!
Thanks for your kind words. Really appreciate it ❤️
this was a great video and really helped me. i’m currently enrolled in college for application development and i’m taking a C++ and Java at the same time, and it’s a lot more stressful than i would have thought. you really made me reflect in a way that i needed. thank you sir.
How is it?
What I've learned around other students during my bachelor in computer science, is that one should not allow teachers to introduce them to programming or you'll hate it. That, of course, highly depends on the teacher, I've had really really inspiring teachers, but they are extremely small amount. Most of the teachers will just force you to learn things and give you impractical tasks and at the end you'll hate it. I was fortunate to have started programming long before we started studying it (even in high school), and I believe that is the reason I love it. It started as a desire to create games (as most gamers do), which then grew into having my own website for my, at the time, CS 1.6 server and so my programming roller coaster spiraled out of control with each practical success I had. And so when I went to university, I felt the things they teach are boring and easy, but could clearly see my fellow classmates having trouble and hating programming.
I am busy acquiring a new language, and the contents of this video has been significant to me. Thumbs up to this informative and inspiring message.
Thanks Wayne! 👍
hi am 20 yrs old , I started my programming journey like 3 months ago but sometimes i got bad decisions like " im done with this 😣 " but now i realized the reason , this video is very important .
thank you .😊🤝
Thank you 🙏
The most practical guide yet!
I endorse it
One of the best videos ive seen so far… thanks man
Hey Power Couple, By Watching your videos I'm trying to learn coding by doing, in that process I'm creating my first website. Thanks a ton❤. Waiting for more useful videos
Would love to see your website when it's complete. Good luck! ❤️
@@sahilandsarra once it get completed I will share you through Instagram
Man if you read a whole 10 hr book on TH-cam
I’d still listen it to the end
Such a relaxing voice to here
Thanks for your kind words 🙏
really loved it. I could completely relate to it 100%. Going through the same and now finally working on removing the fear of coding and trying to improve. Would love to get the Java learning resource from your end as mentioned in the video.Looking up to the same.Lots of thanks to you.
Hi Ketaki! I already made a video for Java
your flow of speaking doesn't stop for a moment.. that's interesting.... we need to keep listene that carefully
I hope the subtitles are helpful.
@@sahilandsarra yes...
You answered all my questions that I had in my mind currently...Thanks You So much!
Happy to help.
We need save this man at any cost ! ❤️ !
Thanks for your support 😍
thanks for the information I was about to enroll in 4 programing languages at once you saved me now I ll try to master one ❤️
Good luck, Ankit!
@@sahilandsarra thanks
Great content for self taught programmers, i wish i had your guidance videos before... thanks soo much..!
Thanks Usman!
Very helpful video..I was in the same condition as I used to runaway from coding...but now I am searching for a job as a java developer n learning these tools n technology..thankyou
Good luck, Vikrant!
Thank you Sir, I really appreciate the efforts you put into providing values in all your videos. Blessings
Thanks 🙏
Only thing I know, is that I am stressed CS student with no job in programming.
I'm sorry to hear that.
I will pursue cs Btech this year.
Would you give me some suggestions to avoid being in the state you are currently in.
I mean what I can do from start to avoid it.
🤘🙂🙂
You're in which year cs?
@@lol-------- Life-saving suggestion: give everything from yourself to pass algebra, math analysis or C programming (if you have this or simmilar subjects). Not give too much care for easy subjects like english language or simmilar, just pass them , don't try to catch best grades, more attention to hard subjects. I am second year.
@@aleksapajicwhat's the name of your college?
I come from a rural area and I do not know many CS students but I really wanted to talk to them just to know how it works so would you mind talking to me like I can give you my Gmail ? PLEASE 🙂
4:09 This line....
It cleared all my self doubts and I know what I have to do now. It's just matter of time.
Thank you.
Good luck, Asparsh!
The guy who always motivate and taught how to improve yourself 👌
Glad you found it helpful ✌️
The most realistic and honest youtuber I've ever met. Subcribed .
Ok wow! The person you aspire to be is you in the future! Amazing quote!
Thanks 🙏
Still thinking if I study Computer Science. Must wait for a week till I get an answer. If I don't get accepted might as well self teach programming and then do a bootcamp afterwards and go to university next year. I think this is the best way to go about it since I wanna figure out how much I like it and how fast I can learn. Going in there without any plan would be foolish though so I try to figure out what exactly I wanna learn. What I'm aiming for is to make programming/coding my hobby. To do that I wanna give myself time and do things slowly rather than trying to do everything too quickly and then lose motivation and quit. The coding buddy idea is also great. Heh... but currently there is none. Not saying I can't find one. In University it should be no biggie at all. But if I go for the other route hmm... I'm not that sure. Anyways this won't change my plan at all. My curiousity is just much higher. Greetings to ya!
Thanks very much for sharing this and I wish you all the luck.
Did you get into uni with cs major or did you end up in other routes? I tried getting into cs but fail now i have been self taught coding for 3 years while trying to finish a completely non-cs major. I am planning to do a bootcamp next month (pretty much have the same idea as you). I would love to hear how you’ve been doing.
His points are always great...
Thanks brother ❤️👑
Thanks Yogesh!
I must say that you are an intellectual and a very cool content creator man. It's just amazing to watch your videos that are always structured and well organized. Thanks for highlighting these mistakes that I was also making. But from now, It will be no more.
Your subscriber from Pakistan. Stay blessed.
Thanks Malik. Really appreciate it.
Many fail including me because they forget each and every time that Consistency is the key to success.
Thankyou Sahil for once again interesting topic ❤️
Thanks Mukesh!
Bhaiya me abhi python sik raha hu.
Mujhe basic yo lagbhag pura hi pata he.
Mene bohot se company ke exams ke coding question solve krne ki try kiya me har 3-4 que me sirf ek ko hi solve kar paya hu.
Kya aap mujhe kuch suggestion de skte ho. Me kaise practice kru pr din me kitne time dena hoga? Please
I can correlate with you actually I was so scared of coding that I was looking to switch my field and in every interview they asked me that why do you wanna leave your domain. I felt so ashamed as I couldn't tell them as I am scared of coding I don't know why but know I accept my heritage that is the field that will make my carrier and I will stick to it
Good luck, Harshit! 👍
Thanks so much for the vid , i was directly trying to learn R, MatLAB and java together.
Good luck, Tasneem!
Really helpful for me. Love your content, stay cool brother!
Thanks Daryl!
Thanks for the video Power Couple. I am also a victim of overlearning. It brings some calmness to my mind after watching your videos when I am overwhelmed with too much curiosity.
Happy to help 🙏
I'm 35, dropped out of high school, got a GED, went to a community college some years later to try to further my education and was stopped in my tracks when I couldn't learn remedial math to save my life. I dropped out of that college 3 different times with a gap if years between each attempt. "This will be it", I told myself without a single goal in mind, only to graduate, but that wasn't enough to keep me going.
I settled on the FACT (as I convinced myself) that if I'm too stupid to do kid math, I'm definitely too stupid to learn coding.
After much needed life experience, I realize I can learn whatever the hell I want to learn and no one can stop me. I needed to go through some stuff and change my entire mindset.
The dream is to change careers into dev work and though I may be a lil older than what some companies look for by the time I'm skilled enough, I'm not stopping til I can proudly call myself a developer. Videos like this really help. Thank you.
Imma be honest, you have a really calming vojce, it is quite nice to listen to.
Thank god I clicked on this video. Thank you for the confidence and motivation.
You are so welcome! Good luck!
I usually watch each and every video on TH-cam at 1.5 or 1.75x speed to save some time but in your case I watch it at normal speed ! I don't know why but it feels some inner kind of peace after watching your videos ! And thanks for such valuable content ! Much love and appreciation ♥️🤗
Thanks for your kind words ❤️
Same apurva
All things aside, you've got the most soothing voice in the universe.
Thanks Shubham.
Woah that just made so much sense to me. Really great video. Subscribed!
Thanks Pratik!
The way you speak is so smooth super bro this makes me to watch untill end🙂 :)
Thanks very much
Great video and super successful connection: Coding & Gym.
Things you mentioned make sense and for me as self-tought beginner programmer comparison with gym explains things better.
Just finished JAVA course (80+h) and I see now how little I know compared to all JAVA programming possibilities. So I am learning WEB now. BUT maybe you are right - I should look not how little I know in JAVA but how much I know now compared to knowing nothing. Ty.
Hi Armando! Thanks and Good luck 👍
getting coding buddy is not an easy as most of them are selfish in learning .
Oh man, was I needing to hear this today! Thanks!
single expression
talks like a philosopher
motivating words
guidence
Thank you
Will try to bring more expressions. Thanks 🙏
I don't know what his channel name really means and how is it even relevant to his videos, but lemme confess I honestly love this guy so much. He almost feels like an elder brother that I never had, will keep coming back to these videos so I don't get lost. Thanks, brother!
I also change my mindset even I don't know coding but when your watchind vedios changing our mindset completely...... Thaanks bro love you ❤
Thank you and Good luck, Pradeep! ❤️
I love you. May God bless you brother. I was about to quit but now i understand i have no patience, too much comparison of me with other......❤️❤️❤️❤️.
great peice of advice sahil
My takeway is
->Consistent practice
-> Focus on Gain and the Gap in the process of learning anything
I want to quit coding because I feel like I can’t make it. But it’s not stopping me as I do not want it to bite my arse in the future I may be losing friends and feel like it won’t work out but I will give it my all! I will make it no matter what
I love this video! Motivating and inspiring. I just wanted to request if you could make a video specifically on finding coding buddies online. I've heard you mention this in another video on how helpful it is to have coding buddies. Many of us are not from CS background and struggle to find reliable coding partners. I have joined some Discord channels of coding but haven't found anyone willing to learn and solve problems together. If there are any more ways, websites or channels for coding partners then please do share with us. Thank you!
I am learning Java.... If you are into learning same , we can code together...
@@polarbear7913 I have same question...!!! i am also learning and covered most of the things...
I'll try to see if I can create a Discord channel for people to learn together.
I'm Scared
True. Thanks for you content, keep going
Thanks 🙏
I feel like this video is just exactly the solution to my problems... I use to hate programming but then I got to know its importance, and now I am eager to learn it. Also, the way you linked the example of gym and programming MAN THAT IS EPIC 🤩 I just pressed the subscribe button in an act of joy that I actually and finally just got solution to my problems 💖
These are some very kind words you shared. I'm so happy that I could bring you some joy. Thanks 🙏
Who do almost all programmers have low energy vibe, i can tell from your video.
Nice video BTW ❤️
Thanks ❤️
thank you! for this very informative more of this😁
Thanks Jan! Really appreciate it.
I have coded since 1981 and I know less about it now and hate it more now than I did 43 years ago.
Fuck programming. I will leave that to those who invest their entire lives into it.
I will stick to proving math theorems. It is what I love, what makes me happy.
I had exactly the same thought regarding programming when I started it fir the first time
But tbh now I am loving it
That's great Kushal. I'm happy you found what you love.
Sir i don't know why people left programming I program since I am child but i love this every point I learn new thing I am enjoy to know my own program
Now working with government enforcement cyber crime investigation delhi police
That's awesome, Vikram. Thanks for the great service you're doing by helping people.
Smart hai Ladka! 👌 #GreatContent 👍
✌️
I was depressed, my all friends are doing well in coding making high quality projects. I am not capable of doing this so. I made an assumption that i cant code. But this vdo made my day tqsm❤
As a beginner, this video improves my motivation. Thanks
I felt demotivated today but after watching your video it increased my confidence.
Good luck, Hari 👍
Thank you power couple... Inspiring! Really this video is needed to us 👍.
Glad we could help. 🙏
Just discovered this channel and what can I say
As the name says power couple 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks!
Thank you, im learning programing at a campus for 8 weeks, we learn javascript, im at the start of the week 4 and want to quit because i only understand the concept but cant read it when they ask me to solve a problem and you gave me a bit of hope to continue even if i feel desperate 😢
4:09 This line has deep meaning bro!
Thanks for the video much needed one.
Thanks Manish!
@@sahilandsarra Bro Could you please share ur GitHub link???? It will be helpful for me..........🤔
Thank you brother for these tips, I will follow this pieces of advice.
Good luck, Faizan!
Find a mentor, far easier to learn than by yourself. I had to spend four years of my life, with full time job to learn coding. Now I need one year to make someone a programmer, if they can dedicate time and effort.
i watch this video when i want to quit coding thank you sir by providing such a good experience
Thank you for a amazing video. I will more focus on the gain, not the gap!
Thanks and Good luck!
The fact that a people that starts their coding journey at 23 can't beat a people that start their journey on 18 years old. That's affect to me, I can't beat people who starts when still 11 years old.
I started at 25, if that helps.
Very good content...and harsh truth to accept !!
So true!
Thanks for your experience, probably i will take care of that
Good luck, Aman 👍
Sir your voice is very smooth and very effective like lots of knowledge in just few words Thanks!
Thanks Rahul. I'm glad you liked the content.
Man I was shocked 😳 beginning of video , exactly same here bro 👍😅
Our paths are very similar.
Honestly, big fan of your explanations and cracking methods
Take love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩
And if you really want to become a software engineer you should start to learn to code on an old 8 bit or 16 bit machine in assembly. When you can do simple things like writing to the screen reading input, making some Raster bars or star field “yourself”. Then learn C or C++ after that.
You can learn in higher language as you use it.
thanks bro for sharing your experience with us. It's really helpful for my future in programming.
I never did any comment on youtube, it's my first comment ever.
literally bro you are really good at explaining things with your own experience
Again thanks bro
Thanks very much!
Thank you for the advice!
you are inspiring to code and I appreciate that.
Thanks 🙏
After listening to this, I realised why I dont progress in as far as programming is concerned. Who wantes to be my coding buddy?
Thank you for all you do...God bless you, my brother.
Thanks for the tips! Appreciate your videos.
i hope they make more easier coding code so people will understand it easily
Good luck 👍
Awesome content.... A gem of a channel....🔥🔥
Thanks Jawad!
Great video, exactly what i needed 👐
Good luck!
