To be frank, this has always been the case. For anything technical, it's always about solving problems so stakeholders make money.

Yep, and that's why many businesses prefer candidates who have a computer science or related college degree (BS/BA) versus those that are self-taught, or those that only have certs.

0:00 🎯 Knowing how to code isn't enough anymore; focus on more than technical skills for job success. 0:19 🧩 The purpose of a software developer: solving problems in automated ways; problem-solving skills are crucial. 1:49 🤔 Problem-solving steps: Be clear about the problem, gather details, anticipate needs, understand limitations, research impacted parties. 2:38 🌟 Brainstorm various solutions; no right or wrong answers, focus on collaboration for the best solution. 3:37 📝 Break solutions into smaller actionable parts; a step-by-step approach is key for project completion. 4:04 🔍 Continuously test and refine solutions for improvement; there's always room for enhancement. 5:37 📢 Communication is vital in software development; it's not just about coding in isolation but about effective team communication. 6:19 🗣 Communicate ideas effectively to both technical and non-technical team members; active listening is crucial. 7:23 📚 Reading documentation is fundamental; it's not always exciting, but it's immensely helpful for problem-solving. 7:55 🔄 Practice reading documentation consistently; it's a skill that grows with repetition and dedication.

Thanks buddy, you're a buddy

As a 20 year vet in software development, I can honestly cosign this. This is such a mic drop moment. These 3 skills are the backbone of being highly sought after and valued. Your work will speak for itself.

This is excellent advice! I think this has always been true, but I wish more people would talk about the non tangibles of working in this industry. Good video, dude.

Thank you Brian. I appreciate you and your content. I will keep grinding holistically. I recently started my own tech meet up in NYC for vegans so I could join my professional pursuit with personal values and networking. Definitely easier to keep building projects it feels than reaching out to recruiters or colleagues and the other job hunting stuff Easy to get overwhelmed with all the stuff we need to do to break into to first job and discouraging job market. Staying a little hopeful I can find a good fit of a company to land at one day and enjoy the work

Brian once again giving great advice without wasting any time, your vids are honestly underrated!

I appreciate that!

Very foundational key points, especially with regard to the problem solving mindset required in the role. Also, the communication approach with non technical stakeholders. That is something I've seen so many talented techies fail at. Great informative video even if someone isn't a software developer.

Thanks so much 🙏

I've just recently been teaching myself Python, and this is good stuff to know. I wasn't so naive to think coding knowledge alone would get me a high-paying job, but this information cemented that. That fire exit question has me really thinking about how to approach things.

MAN.............. I've been trying to get this younger generation to see how valuable this is. It's a lot to rewrite people's minds to think in this manner honestly. But it's a very simple approach, when you think about it. But for some reason it's difficult for people to grasp this notion. BRILLIANT video man. Definitely will be sharing with my students and people I mentor. You said this very brilliantly.

Thanks for the information

Same here. I like his perspective in our industry.

I wish I could book a call with you, but I am super broke maybe in the future, Thank you for your content.

The minute you mentioned that question those interviewers asked you which you messed up, my mind started to wander as to how I would answer it and the steps I would take. It's an interesting question, but it's also a bit out there. I definitely want to get into coding and have already been doing what I can.

7:23 You can upload documentation to GPT4.

I'm not sure if this is the right answer, but I would answer that question by telling them that I'd create a process doc (SOP/standardof procedure) with diagrams of where to find walking paths & exits Are you saying that they expected you to create a resolution using coding? If so, how would that be done?

Not necessarily with coding but the steps I would take to complete a document that was useable for the company.

Is it possible if you could mentor me to get me up to speed as a front end developer

True, that is why i started to learn plumbing, already made 2x money more this month than coding

But if im sefl taught learning how to communicate ?...

how to get better at communication?

Mainly anticipating what someone wants to know and you being able to get that point across clearly.

Is this for self taught developers?

All developers

Coding is for fun. Not for work anybody can code. programming is waaay different.

If u don't solve problems u r not a programmer u'r just playin' with a keyboard

I see you're not harnessing the power of the short contents to develop your audience on different platforms while you could take the most relevant clips from your long videos to make them.

I can clearly see that my video editing agency could help you at this stage. I've sent you an email with our portfolio. If you're interested, we'll make you a video for free to test and after if you're satisfied we will work together.

If you can turn a problem into a solution, anyone can code it. Which is why leetcode interviews are the most useless form of interview for 95% of dev jobs
