Your channel is invaluable to a Computer Engineering student like me who is interested in the sysadmin side of things. I cant thank you enough.

Holy shit! So you know about logic gates?! You're more awesome than I thought(and I thought you were pretty awesome to begin with lol)! Speaking of learning detours, I've said countless times how you inspired me to get into system administration and just UNIX in general, at least at a hobby level. Now I've got Debian running as my main desktop rig since summer. A few months back, after finishing your Udemy course(Yep, got a server and a few blogs running) I discovered this Ben Heckendorn dude on KZread and, as he himself puts it, I've been "bitten by the electronics bug". I just can't stop running around and repairing stuff around the house be it some lighting or a ton of old, previously considered dead hardware: peripherals, notebooks, household appliances. So I guess that's a detour AND learning stuff from the ground up. I think I'll even get to some of my mother's dead notebooks one day...If you kids don't know what a woman can do to a computer-good. It'll exponentially increase your life expectancy! Anywho, if any of you guys want some inspiration to get into electronics and learn how things work under the hood, besides Ben Heck I'd also suggest Dave Jones of the EEV Blog. That guy's a regular fkin' riot! And to quote Dave before I leave: Don't turn it on-TAKE IT APART!

Hey, thanks for the note. Glad you're enjoying yourself!

Your enthusiasm is contagious. Thanks for sharing!

This motivation is perfect timing as I just started a tech blog last weekend :)

This was sort-of how I started. I was in college for computer engineering and at the start of my junior year, I built a gaming computer and installed linux and windows as a dual-boot system. I tried installing from scratch but failed. There was some issue I was having with modprobe and mounting my graphics card. I can't remember exactly what it was, but I learned a lot and I'd reccomend that to any newcomers wanting to start their career in tech as well.

Great Tips. This is what I tell new coders & developers all the time, find what you enjoy by playing around with what's out there. The docs are getting better and KZreadrs like you, provide a lot of valuable info.

Wow, this was such a great video! Believe it or not, I actually took your instructions PRIOR to watching this - lol. For the longest time I was wondering, "where do I want my tech future to lead me." The answer came when I received some older hardware that was the pinnacle of my tech experience. Leading up to now, I am still working my way through the steps of setting up one thing or another but started with hardware, having system configuration experience, as well as some programming/scripting. Overall the journey has been fun and exciting, and am surprised at all the resources out there. It actually can seem rather daunting, being honest, but videos like this help better orient my direction to head the right way. Thanks again! Sharing this video with a few buddys!

Nice! Yeah, that's a tough question to answer at the beginning of the journey, but projects like the ones you mentioned can really help you find a direction. I find myself doing stuff like this over and over, even though I'm 7 years into a 'pro' career now. For example, right now I'm doing nand2tetris with the intention of actually making it all the way through (got stuck on the low-level stuff last time and didn't dedicate enough time to finish it). There are always more interesting corners of computer science, software development, operating systems, distributed systems, performance engineering, databases, etc. No matter where you are in your career or how much you know about tech, you can always pick up something new and interesting that you might not have tried otherwise, and find a whole new dimension to your hobby.

the archlinux beginner's guide helped getting into using the Linux console and all the other Linux tasks you might want to do (such as systemd), but also teached me structure and concepts of Linux as a desktop OS. also GPU passthrough was another milestone on my journey. and thanks to you I'll do LFS and from nand to Tetris next.

Thanks for this comment. I should do a video on "the best linux & unix resources on the web" -- and if I do, the Arch Linux wiki will be at the top of the list. That thing has taught me a million little things, and saved me weeks of time. Awesome, awesome resource. Thanks for mentioning it!

Thank you, this is what I am taking about. You my friend are the man.

Let me say why I thank you; there are many, many, good people here on KZread putting the word out about Linux and that is a good thing, and please don't think that I am complaining far from it. What we need my friend are people like yourself that want taking Linux to the next level. Show me how to make it work for me, and how can I apply it so I can get the job I really want and need to take care of my family.

I wanted to do LFS for some time exactly for the reasons you talk about. Smartest people were building this really complicated system called Linux for the last 25 years. It would be really interesting to find out what ideas and abstractions they came up with.

Great inspirational video. I am going to put this on high rotation. Cheers!

excellent man you sum all everything. small steps like this make you build confidence at soul searching.

Cool project idea, after I finish this one I'm definitely doing that

This are good suggestions. I often find myself too distracted with all the new technology.

OMG this was exactly what I was trying to find out.

Camera losing focus is annoying. The content is great.

Great video! I'm actually don't know what I prefer. Mostly I wish to become good UX/UI/web designer. Somedays I wish to be frontender (I'm good at html and css but not at JS). Sometimes I wish to deal with different linux administration things.. I even love VIM to change html&css :(

Great advice! Thanks!

I've watched some of your tutorials especially Python, which I'm so interested in learning. My question to you what do you recommend learning along side Python that could help or improve the process of learning?

I'm actually just editing a video that goes into this question, but I'll give you the short version: focus on learning the basic language mechanics first, and then apply what you've learned in small projects (command-line apps, little games, etc.). As you develop more skills (working with APIs, creating web applications) you'll find that adding an additional skill or specialization will exponentially increase your ability to do cool stuff with the programming language. Whether it's an IT thing (networking, infrastructure, working with AWS, security, databases, monitoring, machine learning) or another domain (finance, law, biology, meteorology, history), stacking skills on top of programming is something that can supercharge the value you're able to create. Whew, got excited there. Anyway, when I've covered the language basics I'll do some code-alongs where I walk through creating small but useful applications in Python. That's the hardest part when you're getting started.

What kind of small operativesystems do you recommend?

yay!

You look like Eli the Computer Guy's higher budget brother!

Hi , I am interested in robotics but I have no experience in programming at all , where should I start ? (I have completed nand to tetris part 1 of the course from coursera but couldn't do the second part as it requires some experience in programming : Java , right now I am going through MITOCW 6.004 but I do have sometimes difficulty in understanding the c Language-assembly programing steps )

random silly have you got an idea on what language you want to learn first?

I recommend an Arduino or a Raspberry pi zero starter kit. It'll give you a project to learn with, and many ideas to try next :-).

Robotics is much more than programming. If you google forward kinematics and especialy inverse kinematics, you can see there is some hardcore math stuff.

Thank you all for your suggestion , right now I am taking an arduino course from coursera with 6.00.1 (python) from edx as well , hopefully it will teach me a few things . +Georg Wilde : Though I have a basic knowledge of calculus and some linear algebra , I don't think I know anything about hardcore math , i probably need to do that as well , anyways thanks for your advice.

Gentoo linux is a good study tribute haha

Hey Dave I actually tried out Nand2tetris, though it was fascinating it was kind of above my head at the time and I had to put it on the backburner cause it was taking too much time. I really want to find some sort of IT job before I actually go back to it. I put in a bit about it on a book review I did yesterday on my blog (which I built using your udemy course thx): www.letscode.cloud/you-need-to-read-code/ (feel free to ignore the affiliate links) But I highly recommend Code by Charles Petzold to anyone who wants to do Nand2tetris (elements of computing systems). I feel the next time I attempt it I'll be much better equipped! Great video and I agree. Should I get a job with exposure to linux before attempting this stuff? I feel like I would learn this stuff better if I had a real life context to go with it. Also check out MHRD on steam it works on linux. /rant
