I stopped watching them because they are pointless. Why try so hard to brainwash yourself into enjoying a thing you don't enjoy (anymore)? I am professionally a carpenter, a web developer, a 3D artist, and a pet sitter. I switch between all these jobs whenever I feel like it. And everytime I lose the motivation to do one, I do NOT try to force or brainwash myself into "keep going". Instead, I move on to doing something else. And when I get sick of doing that, I move on, or move "back" to something I lost motivation for earlier...

I've learnt for 4 years straight. I was ready for a job the very first year. The last 3 years were just improving and applying for jobs. NO ONE replied to me. Not a single company, and that did it for me. I have two little kids and I can't risk starting my own business and quit my job. Now, I hate the idea of applying for programming jobs. I don't even look at my resume anymore. I actually regret wasting all those years on it. Programming is now just a hobby that I enjoy sometimes late night when I'm alone. Just waiting for the kids to grow and go to school so I can attend school myself and get that stupid piece of paper a lot of companies are shitting their pants for. So happy for you, buddy. Sounds like you deserve every bit of it.

This video just brings back the past memories of me trying to learn and get better. I used to compare myself with others and feel bad. Trust me, if you just keep going and keep iterating, you'll one day become the person you always wanted to be.

Thanks for such an inspirational content, it's really helpful for those who sometimes just feel like giving up. I've been learning to code for about 2 1/2 years struggling with many things, specially living in a poor country like Venezuela with constant power outages and internet failures that can keep you offline literally for months, not to mention how hard it is to repair or replace your crappy hardware if it gets damaged. Sometimes it feels like all of your effort and dedication is pointless and you just want to give up, but somehow you have to keep up and find your way to deal with it if you really want to succeed. Thanks to Brad and Dennis and all of these awesome guys on KZread for sharing all of their knowledge and inspiration without asking for anything in exchange. Good luck and stay safe.

Waaow!!. Finally saw my two developers together who helped me do my main project in college. Thanks Brad and Dennis. God bless you ❤️💐❤️

Brad, I have been following your channel for quite sometime. When I started by coding, your channel was the most helpful tool that I came across here in KZread. It was simple and easy to understand. I started my coding journey following your videos and it really helped me grow. Unfortunately, life has unforeseen circumstances and I have to go back to my old job. The fire that was burning inside me died down because of the things I have to prioritize such as bills. While I was scrolling on your channel last night, I came across this video of Dennis. This really hit me. I cried watching and listening to the story of Dennis coz I can totally relate. It's almost the same road that I am taking right now. This is the most inspirational story for me. This really gave me hope! To be honest, I was having mid life crisis as I wanted to do something that I love to do, not something that I hate doing but have no choice coz I have to pay the bills and put food on the table. But your story Dennis gave me a bright ray of hope that despite the challenges that would come, there is still a chance for me to be able to continue my passion in coding. I am so grateful to the two of you for sharing this wonderful message

This is what I needed right now. Great story. If you put your time and effort, nothing is impossible.

After learning coding for 1 year and half, I am still stuck with HTML, CSS and JS. I tried learning Python, Node, but really suck at backend stuffs. Bought a few courses on Udemy but didn't finish most of them. What I learnt is that have a target in mind. Join a project, create a simple site, a simple app, just have a goal in mind. I learned more through doing a project than through tutorial courses. Don't get stuck in Tutorial Purgatory. And of course, Stackoverflow :)

Wow! Your story was so touching in the way that you told them and motivating because it's real. Thanks for sharing this I'm sure a lot of people are going to be inspired by it because I am.

I started to learn how to code in late June of this year, to find a purpose after struggling with having a lack of proper education, depression, and severe video game addiction for over 5 years. So far I've learned C++ to an extent, some basic Python and JavaScript, and HTML from pretty much nothing. And it wouldn't have been possible without your HTML crash course Brad, I've come a long way and have a long way to go but I have never been so dedicated to learn and become something in my life as I am right now, and it's all thanks to the hard work of all the coding content creators, but especially you! Thank You for igniting that spark in me, and many more like me to come! and Thank You, Dennis, for sharing your story. This will only add fuel to that fire!

Thank you very much for making this video, seeing that it is a difficult path, but worth it in the end is a comforting thing to continue playing, thank you very much

You spoke from your bottom of your heart. Really a great story.

Gave me goosebumps. Thanks Dennis & Traversy.

Awesome video Dennis, I've been struggling myself with keeping up motivation but way before i started this journey i told myself that i would never give up no matter how hard it gets. I intend to keep that promise to myself, because the moment you break a pact that you've made with yourself and give up that's when you lose yourself. To all my Self-taught programmers out there, just want to say don't give up the light gets brighter down the tunnel.

Bought me tears. Thankkyouu soo much for the Motivation. Thankk you Dennis Sir!

This is so raw and real and sooo relatable. Thanks for sharing this Dennis and Brad ❤️.

The last 4 minutes were my favorite. Those were really beautiful and powerful words. Thank you for delivering power to me. I clicked on this video and wasn't sure what I was gonna watch at that moment. Although I was not in need of motivational content, you made me feel better just by reminding that what I'm doing is important and it counts. I often feel like missing on lots of things like trips, friends and girls. But truth I never cared about any of this as much as I did about becoming a better developer. I hope that it wasn't all for nothing. I think the hardest part in the world of programming is that it's not something that most people are familiar with and or something that people understand either. I never happened to meet anyone who knew what web development is once they asked me what my job is - unless of course they happened to be programmer themselves too. I think we always have that problem that some of our work-related problems aren't discussable with our families or partners and it doesn't ring a bell to them. Usually, I'd avoid talking about it altogether. Also, I think that losing hope is common one too. We all lost hope at some point, but you have to keep fighting. It gets easier over time, but you have to do it everyday - that's the hardest part about it. The learning curve is steep and you can't expect yourself to become the best programmer just overnight. Patience and practice is the key in my experience. I honestly forgot what I wanted to say initially, but I loved this video. It's really well put.

Thanks for sharing this epic story of yours with the community personally this has reignite me to push harder and never relent in this journey.

Wow.... I started learning Django 5 months ago and that 41k video of yours kept me going.... And this video just gave me so much hope

I appreciate this story! It’s definitely a wake up call for me as well... I’ve been blessed with 2 little additions to create a bigger family, so finding the time to code around my kiddos times has been a little challenging. But this video has definitely helped get that spark back into feeding the flame 🔥

How timely this videos comes in. Noticed that I've had a week of slacking here and there, then kept getting back doing some very interesting stuff, then again just losing interest, and as you Dennis mentioned that you always had those books at hand like a reminder that it is still here, waiting for you to dive in back. I've got a different situ, I am just taking regular notes in VSCode and I see that tree of unfinished projects every day. It's been 8 month since I started, and these were superbly exciting at times and I enjoyed the moments when difficult things become understandable first and a habit afterwards, and I hated the moments when I'd rather go watch some youtube. Regardless of that, I am getting back today or tomorrow, doesn't matter. I've got too much knowledge to just give up.

I relate to this video. Been slowly building up my skills with Javascript and now python while raising a young family. Dennis and Brad have been immensely helpful.

Congrats Dennis.. Your story was worth watching .. And good luck with the KZread channel

This was a brilliant story. Thanks for sharing! The journey is different, but the story is similar. I've been coding for a long time and a lot of times I feel this way. I've been doing additional studying the last few months with the VERY limited time I have, to improve skills and knowledge, and it's finally starting to pay off(Even though just a little) - You are correct by saying, if you have a dream, sacrifice and push for that dream. I have subbed to your channel Dennis!

Thank you for your story Dennis. I am at the beginning of my coding journey. Great to watch!

Very inspiring and motivating. Thanks for sharing Brad and Dennis.

I definitely have to watch this everyday. Thank you Brad and Dennis

OMG, this video resonated a thunderous shakes in my heart and get an enormous motivation and inspiration which I felt exact same as way he depicted and felt. All the ups and downs, frustrations, temptation to get out of this career and self-doubt, countless questions if I am doing right or will get better...But I kind of become to know why I have to do it and keep doing it, because I WANT IT!!!

I had been putting off my Full Stack Developer online program for the longest time. I just lost steam and the longer I put it off, the harder it felt to come back. I needed to see this. Thank you for sharing your story! I can do it! I WILL DO IT!

Thanks a lot, this video came out just in time. Really appreciate it. Never give up!

I've been a fan of Dennis too! 💕 Good to c both of my heroes collaborating! 🔥
