I'm 57 and haven't looked at a line of code in over 25 years. Hell, I started coding with punch cards on mainframes in '82. So I know squat about coding. Just started some online classes on Python and am enjoying it. It's all coming back to me. Still hugely challenging, but I think there has never been a better time to learn coding. So many wonderful resources and I enjoy learning from young people. Wish me luck.

I'm in my 3rd year as a computer engineering major and when you said that people might feel insecure about their projects and stuff I felt it in my bones. I've been struggling with self-confidence and have kinda accepted that I'm behind the curve but I'm also struggling to figure out what I'm good at, what I should avoid, what is realistic for me and so on. I just feel really lost and don't know what to do beside keep learning, but that also feels hard when I don't know what my end-goal should be like.

@@dafi0 I use intellij idea and yeah it takes up a lot of the ram and it takes long to start intellij but once I start it, it works normally. I am following a java course and I will use Spring later in the course as well. So far my 4GB of ram has been enough. Although I have to say, I have recently downloaded VS code because it uses a lot less RAM I believe, so that I don't put heavy baggage on my PC everytime I write Java code and so that I have features like find and replace when I write C code. I used to do any Google search on my phone while using IntelliJ because otherwise Google chrome would take up a lot of the RAM. But that's one way to do it. I programmed a lot like that and it's absolutely doable. Still, to this day, if I plan on having a longer coding session I always open Intellij. Another reason why I downloaded VS code is because I yes, I mainly study Java, but I also study C (I study C on my own right now, I took 1 semester of C in university). Vs code also came in handy for html/css/javascript class in my course (course is mainly about java, but I have a html/css/javascript class as well, I also had a MySQL class).

wtf

About the college degree thing that I feel like a lot of people miss, if you want to become a software engineer it is true you don't really need a college degree. However, there is a lot more in computer science than just being a software engineer. Some of that does require a bachelor's or even a more advanced degree. I have a computer science undergraduate research position right now (which I am loving) and think I want to be a professional researcher one day. So right now I fully intend to go to grad-school and get a Ph.D. (a degree you pretty much need to do any big research without working in that one specific field for decades). I wouldn't have had any idea what a research job in CS was like if I hadn't gone to college and would probably be aiming to be a software engineer, which while fun, I don't think it is for me career-wise. College is a big decision, you don't need it for a lot of tech jobs, but I still do think it has its uses. From introducing you to a ton of different sub-fields within CS (from the applied things like software engineering to more theoretical things, you learn it all which I prefer, though learning the theory is a common complaint with CS majors since most just want to be software engineers). You can also meet people with similar interests, form connections that start out as friendships but could even turn into professional connections down the line. You can also develop good relationships with your professors and they are bound to know plenty of people in both industry and academia and can be a huge benefit to you. College isn't everyone, there are plenty of reasons not to go, but I do think there should be more thinking done than just "I could potentially make 6 figures without a degree, why get one?" when there are a lot more benefits in my personal experience

Always like your advice. Thanks for doing the work!

Nick your perspective is always valued! Thank you for the pro tips bruh 🙌

Refreshing take. Especially amazing that you didn't have a course to sell @ the end of the video. Kudos!

Nice reflection. Your Advice is not just for coding but good general advice!

agreed. For me, before I started programming, I wish I would've given more thought to establishing a purpose. It took me a while but I finally understand the difference between a software engineer and a user. Software engineers are the ones who plan, architect, design, and construct the software tools that can be used by the users. But the users are a broad group of people that can span non-technical to technical disciplines. They might even be other programmers, including software engineers. So if there are some programmers out there who aren't software engineers, what kind of programming are they doing? Some other task that requires services provided by those tools that aligns with purposes established by their domain. So to newer programmers out there, stop thinking about the tools for now, and zone in on what that purpose is for you. Once you got that, then tools will be easier to navigate.

Currently got a place as a senior architect in a rather nice company, and one thing i could not agree with more is the degree aspect. I never went to uni. I wanted to get work experience more than a degree, because what i soon discovered was that your degree (if it even helps in the first place) will be almost worthless after your first job where experience takes over. A lot of tech companies are dropping this old way of thinking of degrees in favor of people who have passion and even better, with personal projects and coding examples. That said, I am from the UK, and i can only speak to how things operate and work over here :)

A lifelong linear procedural programmer analyst, I've spent the last six years trying to learn programming languages that don't speak to me, abstract paradigms that simply don't sink in. I suspect that the lack of a mentor, no formal training, and six years of disgust and frustration, has done me in. The more I know, the more I don't know. I can't do this by rote, can't watch someone else and do it. I have to understand and do it. With a new language every three months, new frameworks, new paradigms, does the lack of an industry standard serve anyone? It certainly seems as though rather then becoming more intuitive, simpler, more robust, we seem to be going backwards. Listen up!!

This is a great video, but I have to comment on getting a college degree to be a programmer. Yes, it is NOT required, but it can definitely be the biggest help to easing one's way into the field. Schools give you the necessary resources to learn the foundations of what you need for the field, and not only in terms of the classes, but you can join organizations and clubs that help with learning to code (which I do myself). You can find a mentor that can help guide you in the right direction and you can make even more connections through the university as well. College isn't a necessity, but it's well worth your time and investment to attend.

7:04 THIS TBH

The thing that would be my suggestion is ask around don't ask what language you should do specifically ask what some thing is the most simple and enlightening. What is going to probably make you wanna keep learning? Also just googling a coding languages rules for how to code it can give a person an idea of what to start with. If a language has a dictionaries worth of WHAT NOT TO DO. Then probably shouldn't start there. My suggestion if you are really desperate to learn a language and where to start it would be to baby step into python. O...O

If you're in the states I would recommend community collage and a bootcamp.

Bro in your opinion whats better to have a C.S degree or software engineering degree?

If you want to get a good job in programming, become good at running off quick test programs in interviews, memorizing acronyms and memorizing facts. I have been amazed how little it matters what your previous projects and knowledge are. Anything older than about 2 years are considered useless to tech companies. And you have to have memorized how to do anything they want. I interviewed for a large electric car company recently, and they asked me to sketch out how to do a task I had done before and in fact had a working example of online. I told them I hadn't worked on that for more than a year, and could just bring up the online code I had written, which was quite good. Nope. Have to quote from memory, can't reference your previous code. I was outta there in 15 minutes. This amazing emphasis on how much useless knowledge you can stuff into your head has nothing to do with your actual ability to code. I would personally be more impressed on a programmers ability to find things online than to memorize them. What the companies are telling you is: - Your previous work is irrelevant. You probably made it up or stole it in any case. - We want to you work quickly on XYZ project within the first day of the assignment, without learning your job. This fits nicely with the idea that we are going to dispose of you when the project is done anyways. - Your ability to memorize things is more important than your ability to actually do any programming.

Debt here for a degree isn't that bad. In the UK, it can get big but you don't pay back depending on how much there is, you pay back depending on how you much earn
