I literally ran a business for five years, everything you said is true. You learn as you go and a degree will not help you much if anything at all.

Interesting to hear. I would think there is somewhat of a fundation that is very helpful/kinda necessary to have. E.g. for starting a buisness it would be great to have a general concept of what you want to do, how its going to make money in its marked and also knowing how to generally handle logistics, administration and how manage people. Not necessarily to the point where a full degree would take you, but just so you have a general framework. Is that not the case or was this always implied and i didn´t see it? If its not the case I would be really interrested in the why.

Just wanted to comment and say thank you! I've been binge watching your videos and it really helped me to get past my own thoughts and sort out my emotions/what I wanted in life. I think the mental block is one of the hardest to get past as a beginner. Keep coding guys :)

I just found your videos today, and they're great!. I teach web development classes in my area and mentor people entering the field and I say similar things to my students all the time. I wish I'd had this kind of advice when I first started.

I had a breakthrough using Daniel Zingaro’s book “Learn to code by solving problems”. Finding the right problems to solve for your level is critical. Main thing I learned is “don’t beat yourself up because of what you don’t know yet”. If you looked back, you’d see that you used a specific way to solve something to begin with, but now you’d use something more optimal. Initially you’d see a problem and think “what the hell is this”, then “I get it but I can’t figure out how to solve it”, then “I can solve it using strings/lists/dictionaries”, then eventually “ahh, the manhattan taxicab algorithm again”.

Love the morning dose of Andy! Love the content sir. Your influence is 👌🏼

This is what I needed, I am stuck in a tutorial hell and this video made me clear. Now I am gonna start building projects.

I really like the “learn as you go” advice. If you have a project in mind, plan it out and start it! It’ll most likely be difficult and you may get stuck, but the important thing is you’ll learn as you go and that experience is valuable. Being a programmer means that you have to be willing to learn everyday even when you already have a job because even then, the learning never stops. So you might as well get into the habit.

Ok, it’s messy. Now this makes sense. Thanks for the unlocking ❤

Thank You Andy for wonderful videos. 🙏 We would love to watch more relevant videos to the Job market. All the Best. 🍀👍

The Odin Project (the website) has a nice set of articles useful for finding a job. They are all grouped under their Javascript course.

I've transformed my approach to learning. Despite past setbacks, I'm now thriving on Mimo. Its tailored leaderboards and streak counter tap into my competitive side, propelling me to learn for hours daily. I've realized that turning learning into a game shifts my mindset from doubt to determination. To all self-taught programmers, your journey matters, and embracing the right learning style is key. Kudos to those pushing boundaries and making their mark. Keep soaring! Namaste 🙏💙

Thanks for the video, we need this kick up the buttt to get a move on! Appreciate it!!

Wow this one was good! You motivated me to start my own Data Science/Engineering KZread channel myself. Regards :)

Thank you Andy for this video! 🙌 It really made me think about and also it confirmed some of my moves which I have planned for my learning path. 👌

Great as usual

Ive taught myself to program, but ultimately decided to go in a different direction with my career which does involve college, not that I couldn’t teach myself and talk my way in but that’s not the point. Knowing how to code has basically got me my placement at college. I would say that if i were, for example, looking for web design, self education is very attractive

LOL at 2:18 you made me laugh, now I know I"m serious!

That's why I can't take this seriously I haven't subscribe yet, been stop and go for 3 yrs I need to make a stand now lol. Thanks Andy for constantly sharing. Seriously tho I just subscribe haha..

I was thinking of compiling the best github I can and perhaps an Adruino project to show at any interview. I don't have much experience but then I realized for years I've worked on map editor's, mods for games where you'd have to compile scripts and audio files, editing .JSON files sometimes. When I started learning code it wasn't the exact same thing but did include some similar concepts that didn't sound like gibberish.

Do you have a video on how building a portfolio as a self taught coder. Like you need example but where do you start what project should you put in there. How do you find projects? Do you just make fake situation with a program that would solve a need. I’m very stumped here :(

Hallo Andy. i would like only to ask how much the tutorial?thanks

Andy! 👋🏼

I attended a 1-year web development program, I learned JS, HTML, CSS, reactJS, Python, and Django, and have previous experience with SQL, and Java. Even so, I feel so inadequate and incompetent that I have not even felt up to trying to find a paying job. Others have told me I have impostor syndrome, but it goes much deeper than that. Do you have any advice for this situation?

Hmm my advice seems to have been removed. It's okay it was a wall of text anyway. The short of it was to offer something you know how to do well in a quick-gig site (no suggestions this time, I think that's why my comment was removed). Offer it at a new-to-site temporary under-value rate so you can get some very easy wins for yourself. It's a good way to prove to yourself through client reviews that you are where you should be. Raise your rate and range of services over time so you can reach market value. Then let yourself succeed and apply for jobs instead of offering gigs.

Same happens to me...I never felt like i am complete... i try to learn more I also have 6-7 years of experience as web developer...yet I am struggling in interviews😢😢😢

2:15 clever... subscribed!

Honestly, sometimes I feel I'm not creative enough.

To code the right way is to study it official in a university or school.

What if you're applying to jobs AND studying often?

For people struggling to get a job as a software developer, they really don't know how the world works in terms of why businesses exist and their role in it if they are able to make and maintain being the cut.

Great bro please make more videos like this awesome man

I've been learning how to code for past 2 years. I struggle to finish vanilla JS project. And still I should learn how to use frameworks, typescript, github, git etc. I am starting to feel I will fail. I don't know what else to do. I really want to land a job as web developer

I started learning python at 14 but quit, then started again but in java but still quit again, because I didn't code, I thought I could learn/master just by reading/watching books & tutorials(Its what they call "tutorial hell"). Then at 16 I tried to code Python again and got about intermediate at it then switched to js. If there is one thing I learned why I quited 2x its to learn by practice, my strategy is learn the concept of 1 or 2 keywords first then make a program out of it and save the codebase in some notepad app(so I could comeback if I forget it), then call it day.

2:23 hahahahah very good

So far I'm about a week in with learning to code and I got stuck it's depressing but it's important to remain positive and patient. Was feeling bad these 2-3 days but while I was watering the veggies I hit myself with a motivational speech and I feel better(I never do motivational speeches but randomly started talking to myself) it just takes Patience. If I'm stuck solving something hard I should go back and make a game for fun. Learn to psuedocode send it to a friend or a coding discord and ask if the psuedocode is right if they go "yhea that's pretty much it" then that means im 60% close to my goal the remaining 40% is translating it to code (remove the words that don't work keep all the psuedocode if's and try making it sound like your teaching a caveman English)

For me programing seems too much overwhelming... too much to learn

Because you didn't have chatGPT to help teach you...great video though, very good advice!

it was more about reason you dont get a tech job

For me it looks scary

Basic information nothing special

I cannot learn this bs

First of all thank you for your video's, My biggest problem is my self esteem is low, i don't have alot of contacts or loads of support (only my wife). I started last year on a study given by the state, they said ok we have a package for you you will learn Azure Fundamentals, (old) SQL, C# & WPF, but you will only do an exam on Azure Fundamentals....I got my certificate and i thought what now...I really enjoyed C# .NET5 so i focused on that.. Finally i bought the newest book for .NET6 and studied further, but i got a little bit stuck, cause there is no one telling me what to do or what to create....So i applied for a new study for C# visual....It will start 10 October and will only take around 3 months. I already forgot loads of things i learned of Azure, cause i don't use it and to use it you have to pay for it....And without a job you need to keep the money to pay the rent... I just recently started to make a website for my portfolio and will buy a website at the end of the year when i'm really going to search for a job... I just wanna do something i feel good about and coding is fun for me...but it's hard, cause many people look at your history of jobs and school and my resume doesn't look good...But i'm trying to make the best out of it and hope to find my place in this world what makes me happy, cause i find myself useless at this point.

Hey, I'm kinda confused right now, should I just learn python first or should I start with the udemy web development course? Ps I'm a beginner and have no prior experience with programming. Also can i get your email? Btw love your channel.
