    Programming is not Learning, Memorising or Copying. It's Debugging, Reassessing, and Researching. ( Learning is a Never Ending Process )

    paraphrased a little: 1. Not taking enough breaks 2. Refusing to ask for help 3. Not thinking of yourself as a "student" 4. Writing dirty code (readability, security, efficiency, performance, DRY principle) 5. Neglecting family, friends, hobbies - bad work/life balance 6. Bad office policies (interpersonal skills) 7. Not learning from mistakes 8. Giving up too soon 9. Being a know-it-all 10. Not being able to take good criticism

    I want to give a disclaimer about point #2. I'll give you a story to outline my point. A couple years back I was leading a project with a start up and we hired 5 developers. Each developer was junior/entry level with no more than 6 months working experience. As expected, for the first couple months each developer had their share of questions and needed a lot of help. Myself and the other senior developer were more than happy to help and 4 of the developers began to need less and less help as the project progressed. One of the junior developers did not improve and in fact couldn't finish any user stories on his own. A lot of the issues with his code / questions he asked were the same (would use the map function wrong, not follow coding convention, misspell property names, etc). It was frustrating because he pretty much relied on us to fix his code and solve all of his problem. It became quite apparent that he wasn't using our help as a lesson but rather as a way to finish his user stories. TL;DR Ask for as much help as you need but you better make damn sure you are learning from your mistakes and not wasting the time of your mentor / fellow developer.

    Great advice, Brad! #3 really resonated with me. I wrote my first program in 1971 and I still feel like a n00b sometimes. One thing I would add to “Giving up too soon” would be to try explaining code that’s not working to someone else. Especially if they are NOT coders! (They won’t interrupt) :) Just the other day I was very frustrated and ended up explaining what was happening to my wife. Verbalizing things forces you to slow down and really focus on each step. About halfway through the “explanation” I stopped suddenly. We’ve been married long enough that she smiled and said, “Did you figure it out?” I had...

I love my dad, RIP, but he was the same way with handyman type skills. Watched a TON of THIS OLD HOUSE and similar shows, but never applied it. And when something came up, we would grow frustrated but forgot that the problem was already talked about on some show he watched.

    #5 stood out for me. For #6, some years ago we had a solutions architect that was a favorite of our manager. He made life difficult for long time developers there as he implemented a process to discuss and brain storm with him even the smallest change to a database schema that's needed on a project, where the change would take a couple of minutes before, but up to 3 days when and after discussing with him. He implemented EF on our very large scale company application (which greatly affected performance making it very, very slow and difficult to add feature) which I opposed and discussed with my manager the pros and cons, to no avail. He experimented and created stand-alone application on database builds and never discussed the code with developers on what the app is actually doing. I was very frustrated and was close to resigning, but soldiered on. He left the company after 3 years making our system his testing and training ground. So it took us 2 years to revert all his changes and remove EF completely, waste of time and effort. His LinkedIn profile boasts of implementing EF in our company with him leading the project, if he only knew how much time and effort our developers spent removing this EF! Btw, always 1.5x speed, sounds normal.

You always surprise me with how you follow up on all these technologies and learn enough to post tutorials about every topic, what's your secret?! A friend of mine advised me to take a week of every month and do nothing but learn new stuff, he said that's the only way to follow up with what's happening :) Thank you for all the videos you're posting, you're a very generous person.

    I will have to check out your other videos, good job! You reiterate the main things I always try to tell people. Always step away for a moment. Never be afraid to get a second pair of eyes and a brain looking at what you're doing. Speak up, especially if you think there is a better way. No ONE, not even yourself, knows everything. It is impossible. Tech changes, and there is never a boring day unless you let it be. Tutorials are just for a put your toe in and feel it. It is up to you to dive in if you choose. And don't have an ego or be unwilling to share your information and knowledge. It's not security, it's a sure way to be on an island and perhaps not getting something improved upon. And never let ANYONE tell you business comes before family. Without your family, in one sense or another, you wouldn't be you without your family. Plenty of businesses would love to have your talent if your current one doesn't appreciate you. Being right based on ego, is not being right. There is a right way to have disagreements, and that all boils down to professional discussions. My one rule is don't tell me it's wrong without telling me why it is wrong and what the possible solution, or better solution might be. Mistakes...that will happen. Nice topic! Thomas Edison...probably don't need to continue on. Reminds me on a review board...project I was on was at the end. Don't make it before time is up, you're not getting your code released. A project had a big issue, but not that big. Anyway, I knew what the issue was, how it was solved. Everyone was more focused on who was to blame than cause, solution and prevention. So I spoke up, said I was to blame, here was the issue, solution and why it wouldn't happen again. Needless to say, saved so much time, my project got it's changes pushed, and yes, my manager was mad thinking I would get fired even though I wasn't on that particular project. I basically just said...we go our stuff in, that issue, while not mine, isn't going to be a problem for any group, and all is good. Bottom line is, placing blame is not important. Solve it, how do we prevent it from happening again. Learn from your mistakes and others mistakes. This is why having feedback from someone else is helpful sometimes. Defense isn't necessary if you're really not being attacked. Keep programming, be open minded like it was said. And I am going to go check out your other videos. Nice job!!!!! Would work with or for you any day of the week and twice on Sunday (if we don't get it off). Thanks!

    Resonates with "Don't for ask help", "know it all".. "Pretending that you know everything". It just resonates a lot with modern days developers. Lots will suggest technologies that they havent really used yet, but its just that they read it in some medium article without having a production experience. Results to misleading information and false-pressure to developers.

    #3 - Been working 5-years as a technical writer. Years ago, I suggested switching to Madcap Flare, instead of everybody copying, pasting, and re-editing the same material. Manager replied, "it's too complicated for those that couldn't learn", so they stuck to the lowest common denominator. Fast-forward, they're losing work (not web competitive, same Word doc training manuals), and I'm scrambling now to REMAIN a technical writer: Madcap, API docs, basic web design... That PM is now a superintendent at FIL's company, said it was too much programming to learn... PS - LOVE your videos!

    Do you have tips on learning new topics? I mean, business logic. Far too many people make videos about the latest framework or gadget. But when it comes to starting a new business or job you have to learn about it on the spot. Good video btw.

Can you please consider uploading the deployment of flask app which you made in the series called "Python Flask from scratch". It would be helpful as deployment is the next step after development. Love from India. PS : i am building a discussion forum for my college using that tutorial of yours.

    Great advice in deed. But in point number 2. Where you say that we all should take help. According to my experience if we try to find the answers ourselves (either by Google, books, etc.) We tend to learn a lot more. That is the way I learned, and if I fail to find the solution myself then I ask for help from my friends, teachers, etc. but what I realized is that if I Google then I mostly get the answers to my questions also sometimes I learn new topics while researching. But please do let me know if I'm mistaken.

    @@Ali-lm7uw You are right. Basically, there are two types of copy-paste : for project and for learning. This time, I am talking about the later. :) We find there are still a lot of people who are of this type : only learning with this style and not wanting to try to read the official documentation to get the fundamental concepts. Probably, time constraint is their reason, or they just don't have patience to learn concepts and just want to get up and running immediately. It seems to be considered common that even the writers of React documentation/tutorials mention different kinds of learners. So they provide two ways of learning : by the so called "code-play" and by reading concepts. I have learned from the past that I would be struggling much eventually if I only learned only by copy-paste. I know learning by getting fundamental concepts through official documentation requires longer time and patience, but the end result will be satisfactory.

    @@lexsoft3969 This is especially seen when people learn JavaScript. Javascript is not easy, so they learn jquery, angular etc and do not know much about JS. Even experienced JS devs use function declarations instead of function expressions. Also, its very hard to find people who write good OOP JS.

    @@Ali-lm7uw I am actually still learning Javascript. I used to learn from books, but I now chose to learn from official sites. For HTML, CSS, Javascript I read from MDN, because many framework/libraries refer to the site for learning those basic technologies. I learn a lot from it. It needs patience, though. Function is not easy in Javascript, because its "first-class" characteristic is different from the ones found in other OOP languages such as C/C++, C# or Java. The same with object which is prototype based. For some people, they can be powerful, but for others they can be confusing. Btw, I like its feature named Promise which I don't see in other languages. If dynamic import() is officially standardized in the next EcmaScript, the React.lazy() API would be powerful as it offers on demand module importing. React.lazy() returns a Promise. As for jQuery, the documentation say that it's just a library. Users should have a solid foundation in Javascript in order to take advantage of jQuery. I have to postpone on learning Angular, because due to priority, I choose to learn React first. Maybe someday I will learn Angular which seems harder to learn. Uh... I have to manage my time for learning many things : those stuffs mentioned, Web API, Web Components, Node.js, PHP, Laravel, etc. Yeah, too many things to learn to become a web developer. Like mentioned in this video, I ever thought to quit from my intention to become web developer. Main reason is time constraint. My boss never knows that it will take long time for a beginner to learn these technologies. How can someone be expected learn Laravel or React in only 3 days ???

We have all dealt with clients who constantly ask you to make additions and updates and you say YES to everything thinking it will earn you respect when realistically you'll get nothing but overwork. Learn to say NO.

    I’d like to say, It’s not all about coding. I’ve met people says “My codes are perfect, and I didn’t see any necessary to improve.”. So I have to refactor the codes he wrote. Also met people who says: “I didn’t wrote this, I won’t touch it. or read into it”. Damn, being a nice guy is the first step to become a good developer.
