I was a ruby on rails developer for just shy of seven years, this was a few years ago. While I liked working in that framework, I was a full-stack developer at a small company (our rails app was a ticketing system for telecommunications jobs). I got SO burned out on full-stack that I swore I'd never do it again and I haven't. A friend of mine recommended boning back up on rails in order to do API stuff, and it's tempting. Anyway, wanted to kind of start from scratch with web development again and that's how I found your video. Thanks for the scoop!

Your videos are appreciated across all ages! I’m 19, about to turn 20, and want to break into the field but lack the finances to enroll in a boot camp. I tried college, but it stripped me of motivation because I felt so being behind and judged my peers for not knowing certain things. I chose to try to learn on my own accord and the resources you gave were so super helpful. Thank you for your work!!!!

I had to retrain about a decade ago, and I went down the book route, going through several books which at face value covered the same thing, but each one would cover it slightly differently, so you got to appeciate it more. I also picked book which contained exercises rather than just explaining, as you learn by doing, not by reading. Afterwards I then built two websites. Neither were spectacular, obviously, but they were enough to show a potential manager that I could apply what I had learned, and that's what got me the job. He said that so many came in for interviews with great paper qualifications, but couldn't offer anything to show they could use what they'd learned. I think I might have struggled if I was learning now though, as so much appears to be online, or with videos like Pluralsight, which I find impossible to learn from.

An overlooked tip for when you make these kinds of videos laying out a pathway is to strip away too many options... The worst thing about being a newbie is the overwhelming decision fatigue which then delays making a decision. In this video, you outlay 4 possible decisions which now require additional research. Most people just want one option so they can begin their journey instead of having to consume more videos about more possible pathways. You should interview a newbie on your channel so that they can ask "newbie" questions in which you can use your expertise to answer the questions that every other newbie is asking at home. I guarantee that people in the comments still haven't picked a path because they are still having to research. We just want ONE path to get started. 1. Free Code Camp Org 2. The Odin Project 3. Udemy 4. CS50 - Harvard Computer Science

going through multiple courses/sites to learn how to code is basically the tutorial hell. You don't need to go over the odin project if you already did freecodecamp. You should start bulding projects way earlier than what you showed on video. You will never be ready, but will be more ready than yesterday if you dive straight to the pool rather than watching how to swim, if that makes sense. i would suggest going over projects the moment you finish learning about basics of vanilla JS. And from that point on it's both doing projects and learning at the same time.

same, i jumped in to web3 and solidity, now doing freecodecamp and dapp university been doing since mid 21, now about 9 mths in , started with cs50 C, then python on Mimo app, doing smart contracts now, next hardhat java test cases, hope to be at intermediate level by end of 22 ..then i will start applying ....

Ditch Ruby on Rails but Python is something you definitely want to learn as it's used to teach fundamental programming theories!! It's also in very high demand out in the field!! You CANNOT go wrong with learning Python!!

Currently an electrician. Using codecademy and a couple other sites to try and learn what I can before hopping into a bootcamp, but trying to get out of the construction industry asap

Thank you sir for the tips. I am inspired by your journey. I was a bit like you and I wanted to change my career from construction to IT. I just finished the basic of C++ programming and currently learning pyton. Really hope I can land a job in IT in the future
