Finally, the first guy on YT that's not a straight A overachiever student at an elite T15 school. I quit school after struggling and finding out I had ADHD, I've been wanting to learn programming/CS topics, this video helped put things into perspective that I can still make it even if I'm not a top student at a top school. Thanks for the video!

yooo same, i quit school (altho just temporarily) due to adhd. my grades are hella mid but i got v interested in programming, so i took a udemy course and watched cs50 stuffs. im now doing a full stack development internship :D u can def make it!!

Man, I feel you. I'm in my third year, a transfer student from a community college, and now studying at a big boi school. I changed my major from Psychology to CompSci and oh man idk what I'm doing but I'm trying to figure it out. All while having ADHD too

I love how relatable your comment was “that your grades were average for CS” one of the reasons why I didn’t go the CS route was because I didn’t think I had good enough grades to get through it. When I think back at it, I should have done it anyways

Dear Jed, I'm a ComSci student but I don't really watch you because you're into Computer Science, but I watch you just because. I really enjoy your daily vlogs and videos, obviously its a plus when computer science is involved, just like when you made that messaging app that looks like discord. My point is that don't be too conscious of your viewers and just make videos and follow your heart!

A whole semester 10 hours a week learning functions and for loops. Many college classes (not just cs) make things way more complicated than they need to be. In some cases, people get so wrapped up in the complication that they don't even understand the fundamentals.
