I truly believe there is more to learn from someone who struggled to get where they are than to hear some fancy and bloated version of a fairy tale... So don't worry bro, you already built a community that is looking forward to hear what you have to say even if it's not a tutorial 😌

I would also agree that there is more to learn from a person who failed multiple times than someone who nailed it on the first try. There is just more experience or exposure in the 1st case. Then again the 2nd scenario shouldn't be negleted either as it can be extremely valuable.

This guy is legit. As a software engineer, I know exactly what you mean. Wishing you health and happiness.

It's refreshing to see someone with a coding channel who isn't a robotic freak with the personality of an angry calculator.

Sooo refreshing. I've become so fed up with success stories. I mean, success stories are fine but not in isolation. I always felt kind of weird and forced trying to respect somebody purely for their success. Instead, what always felt natural and easy is to respect someone's success in proportion to their struggles and agenda. Thanks for being real!

"You really have to fall in love with the process of becoming great." That's it. That's it right there. Great insight. Thanks for sharing.

I'm a software engineer with 26 years of experience in AI - both hands-on and systems level. I was interviewing for a senior-level position and had to do a coding interview. It never gets easier.

So stupid how hiring processes favor those who are good at interviewing, not at the job. And this is coming from someone who has been pretty good at interviews. You shouldn't have to waste your time prepping for "interview problems".

Actually, I think you need to have interview skills. Because that is your opportunity to sell yourself. How whould the interviewers know how good you are if you don't show them. The interview process is not something perfect, they cannot magically know if you're good or bad. You need to show that to them. Think about it like marketing, even if you have a great product, most of the time, you also need to convince the world that your product is good.

Yeah, yeah, the same old story - which is first, egg or chicken. Pros & Cons, Pros vs Cons or other way around, soft skills vs hard skills... you name it. Polarization, the mother of divide and conquer. Under the present status quo of the society construct (in global scope, you know what I mean ;)) at the end of the day EVERYTHING comes down to politics! And the worst thing is that the slogan is "politics for the sake of politics itself". That's all.

"Not taking no as an answer!" Thank you for much needed inspiration!

I have to say, this was really inspirational. I've been at a job for 2 years now working with 3 other developers that have 15, 25, and 30 years experience in this field. I only have 2 when I started. My boss has always made me feel like a failure and like I wasn't smart enough for this field. Since COVID hit, my contract can no longer be renewed. I almost felt like quitting the entire industry. But I also love this stuff. You've inspired me to continue pushing.

Seriously the most underrated and inspirational youtube I know at the moment, you've inspired me to go for my dream of being a software engineer. You said something in one of your videos about how you never really got good grades but put the work in to overcome that obstacle so I was just wondering if coding was a hidden talent that you just needed to put a bit more effort into or if it was just something that anyone can learn so long as they're ready for the uphill battle. Keep on making these videos its really great stuff bro, loving the transparency on this channel.

Wow. I really hope you keep the pace and achieve your goal of becoming a SE. I really believe anyone can learn to code as long as they have the dedication. I appreciate your support for the channel brother!

I am in the situation you were. Leet Grinding daily, watching stuff and getting rejected... thanks for motivating me again cause thats what your video did. It motiviated me.

Keeping it real my man. There's no point trying to look cool. Your experience is good. Needed this. Also never compare yourself to others, only focus on yourself

I really appreciate you sharing this personal story of yours. I went through the same things myself and I think it's great that you try to portray both sides of CS. Computer Science is not an easy field, but the result you get after the hard work you put is definitely worth it!

Thank you for the truth, I really appreciate it. I find your content really high quality and no BS. Keep it up!

Thanks for posting something very real. It's great to hear how talented and capable people don't always have perfect stories. I think it's awesome you shared a vulnerable time in your life. There are so many folks that need to hear and see more videos like this - it's inclusive and shows that you can clearly empathize with people who go through this type of thing as well.

Thanks so much for sharing! As well as being a great encouragement for people in the same boat as you were, this video shows honest and down to earth you are. Absolutely awesome!

Thanks man for the inspiring motivational video, I'm currently going through what you went through and was just about to quit everything. Thank you for bringing me back. Respect

I love how relatable you are. Sharing your hardships and failures encourages me in my failures, and I feel like we could be friends! Haha! So thank you!

I appreciate so much your honesty! I think I will spend my whole weekend watching all your videos. I am in the verge of changing careers to software dev and I want to make sure I don’t make a bad decission.

Never ever be afraid or let fear stop you. You are the real deal! You are human, you have victories and you transform your defeat in victory. Thank you for been courageous and showing your reality!

You inspire me in someway and yes! I'll keep on coding! Thank you!

I've recently started learning algorithms/data structures by doing hackerrank problems. I've been so slow in solving problems and have been failing to understand the simplest of problems. It's been the most demoralizing thing and, to be honest, has given me thoughts of quitting programming. This video is what I needed. Thank you

Love your videos. It’s an eye opener to people like me that are new to this industry. I like how you’re open and vulnerable about your pass. Keep up the good work

Thank you so much for your videos and being so honest. I’ve applied to go back to college for computer science and have been doing even more research to decide if this is the right path for me, and your advice has really helped.

Seriously, one of the best videos I’ve watched! Thanks for the advice. I’m 34, was in the legal field for 14 years, now changing careers. Your video was super helpful! I agree with the follow up to employers. It’s so important so thank you!

Nice video! I liked your attitude, you are honest and humble! I strongly believe that the struggles makes us stronger and thats what we are today. Looking forward to seeing new videos!

I actually found this video more inspiring than discouraging. Thank you for sharing your story. Keep on keeping on

This is your second video I watch, and i liked it. So refreshingly direct, and honest. Thinking of getting into coding on the side, even though I have no experience in it, just 10+ years of sales & marketing. Your content seems useful for that, so keep doing what you're doing man.

i love your content, i'm 28 just starting to learn how to code and whatnot. so this helped a lot and i love the name of your channel honestly. it's very motivational.

Thank you! This video is really helpful to have a lens of the real world out there

I am going through this exactly Thanks for the encouragement

I really needed this video, this has been a tough week for me, my confidence took a serious knock as a developer, I am going through exactly what you went through and hearing this will keep me going, it’s comforting to know that you went through this and came out on top. Let me “keep on coding”.

Great insight! Thank you for the video. I am learning a lot from your content.

Hey, I found you accidentally and I'm really enjoying your content. It's easy to tell that you are being genius and not try to sell any course or bootcamps. This gives a lot of motivation and little goosebumps which makes me keep on grinding. Thanks!

Hi fella, watched several of your videos now, they stand out over the white noise, really enjoying them. ive only been coding a few months, and still getting to grips with it, watch loads of techtubers, almost all of them only once, but your honest videos have helped my mentality when i keep deciding im not good enough to keep it up, gratz with the new job, best of luck to you

Thank you so much for talking about a common situations that is never shared much. Feeling a bit less lonely staring at the screen. I really admire the strength that you had during the interview process. It is really hard to be evaluated by others that do not know you and may reject you for some unknown (and sometimes very stupid) reasons. It is true. They really make us question our capabilities.

I truly appreciated your honesty. Keep on going your amazing work.

Came across this channel a day ago. Love how you keep things real. Keep going strong! Also, you have gained yourself a new subscriber! Will keep checking out your content.

Thank you for sharing your story. I appreciate the real stories behind the success. I just subscribed. 🙂

The process you have gone through is really inspiring..

Thank you very much for sharing your experience, I think this will really help me out and can make me and many others aware of the truth and the mindset and approach that must be taken in software engineering as in life overall. Thank you very much again, I wish you best luck for everything !

I like your videos, and the struggle and journey makes it just that much more sweeter when you overcome it you got me into starting to learn code

I admire your persistence and perseverance. This is a pretty raw and inspirational video. Best of luck to you in the future.

Thanks for the video. Super helpful. Really needed to hear this

i loved this video. thank you for telling us your story. i'm going through a career switch from being a PM for 13 years into entry level Eng, i'm grinding leetcode now, and this video was exactly what I needed to hear. thanks and keep it up.

Bro you’re awesome! Love the honest/candid perspective. I’ve owned a full serve car wash for 7 years / R.E. Investor for 15....now enrolled in full time coding bootcamp starting October. Snowball!

I could connect with every single experience you shared & meant.. for others may be its just a job but for me its a craft which i enjoy!! & i totally get that luck hasn't been much on your side .. but your hard work finally paid off brother ! all the best !

i really like your channel , i am very new to coding, trying to get some inspiration and i really thank you for keeping your stories so real, it is so refreshing

I don’t get how anyone could possibly “dislike” this video. This is pretty wholesome content. Thanks for keeping it real man. Not everything in this industry is a “good feel” story. I applaud you for sharing this 👏

Been going through a bit of a rough patch in my career recently, and it’s been especially tough since I’m a new grad hire and I feel like things normally just “line up” that early in one’s career. That said, I discovered your channel recently and really resonate with content like this and your videos that touch similar topics. I’ve checked out videos from other tech-tubers, and yours have helped me pick myself up so much more than theirs have (nothing against them or their content lol). So I’m sure I speak for tons of folks who watch your videos, but thanks so much for being so candid and genuine about your experiences. It’s helped me more than you know🙂

The last three minutes of this video are why I have grown to love your channel. I appreciate your honest and passion, and your thoughts on coding for the love of it rather than the money really convinced me that I was on the right path with my learning. Keep on coding!

Best video I've seen on your channel so far. Thanks for sharing all of this.

I've been watching your videos one after another and I admire your approach to life. 👍👍

Respect! Sending awesome vibes your way and wishing you all the best!

You made me subscribe. Not on the negativity but for the reality that everyone is going through. I admire you have the courage to tell the story. People need to realize that not everything is perfect, all of us have struggles and thats what makes us successful in the future.

No man, your honesty does the best, huge appreciate for that spirit, keep it real!

Your awesome man! You are so relatable for me going through job applications now.

This is such an awesome video! So inspiring to hear about your relentless perseverance despite all the messed up recruiter stuff we all have to go through. I'm currently working in Cybersecurity but am looking to transition to software engineering. Just ordered my "Introduction to Algorithms" textbook and can't wait to get started. I will definitely be referring back to this video when I have lost all hope haha

Dude, I've really watched a lot and a lot of coding tutorials than anyone else, then I saw 2 of yours (on java generics & streams), and the way you quickly-simply-straightforwardly explains things proved that you don't "just a booksmart or just got lucky", I think you're very good at it and probably should make more of it if you would. Keep up the good work man!

Inspirational!! Really educative video even for experienced folks!! Thanks for sharing such valuable lessons.

Thanks for the motivation, Sam! Love your channel, keep it going
