    How'd you like this different video format? I'm experimenting with less editing and b-roll footage to see if how it does. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks. ✌️

    @Andy Sterkowitz Can you talk a bit about ADHD or such struggles in general? I've just been diagnosed for severe inattentive ADHD. I'm a REALLY slow learner with this condition and I'm starting my meds 22nd July. I feel like coding can be pretty straightforward if such circumstances are at place. I wish I knew about my condition earlier, but I feel self improvement videos only send you down the wrong path if one were to follow videos such as these. For real, I'm 28 years old now and I've suspected I've had at least ADD since secondary school, but first now got diagnose for it.

    I just wrote a simple webpage and a to do list after about 7 to 8 weeks of learning. I wanted to build my own website next but I'm starting to get burned out trying to learn programming while working a day job. I was so proud of being able to do my first projects but after a certain point I started to feel overwhelmed by how much I'm sacrificing my making time for learning programming. It even started to effect my sleep habits. I've been procrastinating the past week and have been studying on a less regular basis and I'm starting to see it affecting my sense of direction and purpose. I really want to learn but it's not enough to sit down and casually solve some tutorial problems an hour or two after work. You really need to figure out how to problem solve and build projects if you want to get anywhere. And as with learning any skill, consistency is key.

    as a fellow learner.... I kinda understand your feeling but bro there is some stuff that most "programming channels/influencer " don't say ... programming is all about making mistakes and learning from the mistakes and it's not a hype job. just pick an idea try built and that's how you become good with time ,If you do it for the money imposter syndrome will haunt you bad... as long as your coding and learning consistently trust the process things will work out

    I think the most important thing is finding happyness and motivation in it to be able to do it consistantly, a video like this, is good but can sound a bit overwhelming at least to me as a new learner. I also think you need to learn the fundamentals very good first to start coding, i'äve heard this over and over by differnet people who are developers, so applying anything before you know fundamentals is not good as you won't understand anything. Im half through the head-first book, I like that book.

    It’s important to have fun in the beginning. This is the part where you should just “play” and learn for fun. To make it a career though you should eventually transition to a more methodical approach like I mentioned in the video.

    ​@@AndySterkowitz Yeah, that's true, but I still think one of the greatest parts to be able to continue to learn for a long time is to have a positive vibe around it, to keep up the motivation... I find when I keep it simple it's easier. I've researched so much what to start with and what to do etc... As you say sometimes you hoard information instead of just start with something, so the most important thing is that I think for new people at least, to just start and try to have fun as well. But I wonder something, I want to be a webdeveloper building websites, do you call building websites also a "project" ? Cause that's what im trying to do a lot now to get good at CSS and then when Im good enough at fundamentals start to implement JS and such I feel like I learn the most probably, watching a tutorial and then trying something and then I build on that and add a lot of stuff myself, to remember what I have learned. So first I did the design from a tutorial and write everything like they do, and then add a bunch of stuff and try different things and see how I can make it better.

    I started learning to code 5 years ago, I spent months learning Java, and never figured out wth I could even do with it. What good is an interface and do while loops if you have no insight as to what practical application it may have in the future. I thought I could eventually build websites with it if I got good enough. I put it down all those years ago, and am finally picking it back up but with html, css, and javascript. Ive already made multiple website designs in CSS and HTML but now I'm learning Javascript. Also, I just got to typing, this comment is hella long for no reason. If anybody gets to the bottom say "Oogabooga" so I know you read it all, and I'll donate $5 to your favorite charity (except for not really, I'm pretty broke. But I'll donate it in spirit. Or through the power of prayer or something similar)
