"almost nobody knows what the hell they're doing and we all just use google to figure things out on the fly" these words calm my anxiety better than therapy would

Have been doing web development for the past 5 years, but still found the video engaging enough to watch until the end.

Funny thing, I got promoted to a Full stack dev and my imposter syndrome kicked in 100000%. This video has helped me ground myself to reality. Thank you!

1. Internet

Bro this is so awesome. This is the sort of thing that has taken me years to learn. I was so confused by the internet as a system. And I've been trying to put it all together. And seeing this, it's telling me that my hard work has paid off, because I understood most of the video haha. But you do it in such a nice way. So clear, so purposeful. Man, I was like, "Ahh I want to send a tip to this guy!" and then found the button on top haha. Cheers!

You just took me through the last 3 years of my life in 13 minutes and 18 seconds

A year ago I wouldn't have any idea of half of the things you mentioned. All of those 100 seconds videos helped a lot!

Being a front end developer for 5 years, now I understood what it takes to be a full stack developer. Trust me, even Google could not simplify in this way. Thanks 😍

I think it's funny when people say real programmers need to know everything. I can't say I've met a single developer who doesn't have StackOverflow permanently opened on their screen while they're coding. Programming is both an art and a science. It isn't always about exactly what you know, but how you can apply the knowledge that you do have.

“Everyone just uses google” is super true but ALSO keep in mind

Started web dev 6 months back. If someone showed me this then. I would have saved 4 months. Especially on the SSR SPA and SSG part. Sometimes knowing something as a high level context helps in boosting confidence and learning more about it in depth and not be overwhelmed by it

I don't think I'm ever going to unsave this video from my list. This has already helped me so much in understanding the world of web development, and gets me excited to continue learning.

Is anyone else still watching this video knowing almost everything but still watching incase if they are left behind in anything?

I love seeing my months and years of hard work and understanding summarized into 13 minutes.

These videos are so incredibly valuable for us programmers that know the gist of these concepts, but maybe not the specific implementations or definitions of them. Keep up the good work!

Just wanted to mention that I totally get the focus on the JS and Node based stack, but I would like to mention that Node based full stacks are relatively new and de-coupling your front-end and back-end using API's is what I personally would consider "new tech". By no means would I consider my self an old school dev, only been doing this professionally for 10 years, but fact is that most of the internet doesn't actually run on node based backends. PHP is by far the biggest and platforms like KZread, Facebook, etc all use weird ass (as a php dev :')) other languages and stacks for their backends.

Css contains a bunch of specificity rules that determines which style is relevant to an element in a way that is evident and elegant like a benevolent elephant.

I've been a web developer for years but still found this incredibly interesting! Something about the simplicity of it all :)

This video made node modules so clear to me in like 20 seconds where hours upon hours of research has failed to do so. Thankyou so much
