Every Self Taught Programmer Needs To Know This...
Ғылым және технология
The self-taught programmer "niche" is filled with a lot of bad or incomplete information. In today's video I clarify what I see is the skill most people forget to master that will give them a leg up in getting their first programming job.

I pretty much skipped most of the normal editing for this video (b-roll footage, titles, etc.)...how do you like the new format?

I like it. If doing videos like this helps you crank our more frequent content to help people then I think you're on the right path.

Do the vids like you write your code..efficient. 😅😅🙌🏿🙏🏾
I love your videos. In this busy world, programmers have a hard time finding someone that gives us valuable advice, and also most of us are introverts so it gets even harder... so thank you 👍
You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life. --Steve Jobs;';',.,..,
videos like this are always welcome, Andy! And it's nice to hear about this. You've heard me say it before how I get that stressed/imposter syndrome of not being good enough for JS jobs, and it's always a nice bit of relaxation knowing that my first job may not even be JS and I shouldn't worry as much about what language I know and more about the fundamentals of programming in general. The process of how to solve problems and ask questions.
Andy you are Phenomenal! Keep posting videos as always you are a great model for new developers like myself. Have a wonderful time!
You're so good at speaking that I don't think you need the cuts and edits you would normally do. It seems more natural :)

Much appreciated Bryan! I'm keeping this in mind for future videos.
Hey Andy. It's been a long time... I completely agree with you. It doesn't matter that how many languages you know, but if you aren't skillful even at one, it would be difficult. So whatever you learn, do it slowly and consistently..
love your content man. I always appreciate your insight.
Man I just started coding bootcamp I left a comment on your other video and I'm not trying to bombard you but you are making me feel better already with the way you explained things instead of making it seem more difficult like others def do
Thanks! Learning Java and picked up head first Java yesterday. These vids are helpful m8
Nice! I wouldn't have started my own Tech KZread channel if it wasn't for finding yours. Keep up the good work!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, this is something I really need to hear.

03:20 This is a half truth that is very popular. Not everyone that expends years in an university sucks when getting a job. What is more likely is that people who both have talent & spend years in the university will outperform the ones that didnt.
Great video man!

Hard truth about school, for real. I spent WAY too much money on a web dev degree where I have learned virtually nothing about coding. I only have one class left to get the degree, but I'm not taking it until I get more comfortable with coding, which I am now learning on my own. If I wasn't one class away I wouldn't even bother finishing. It is incredibly frustrating and I don't understand how colleges can get away with this bullshit.
I start next Monday my first junior front end role. I am self-taught and a little nervous but I guess its normal .
I’m in the same boat as a recent grad that got hired at a top 50 global company and the job entails a learning C++ and 3DX which are brand new to me.
Can you give link to the video you mentioned at 3:55, on learning how to code quickly? Thanks.
Do you have any videos on software design patterns? Like MVVM, MVC, etc.
So good. 👍

I'm agree with you
I am about to start school for Software Engineer in roughly 2 weeks. Should I avoid this? I am older than the average junior developer would be so I don't want to waste my time if at all possible.

landing a job without strong knowledge of Data Structures and Algos...how is that possible? Every good company mentions these in their requirements and asks questions regarding those in the interview...

I would build a website or mobile app, and use C# or Python for your backend. For the frontend, maybe make it really simple, just use HTML and CSS, skip React/Angular. So you have your backend in C# or Python, and have it spit out HTML. As a pro though, you'll probably need to know how to spit out JSON as well, so maybe add some endpoints that spit out some JSON too. Maybe you could use a little vanilla JavaScript on your frontend to hit those endpoints that spit out JSON.
