1. You can't know everything: learn of to search for solutions and things you need. 2. Being stuck in tutorial hell: start creating projects on your own, a few big projects rather than many little projects. 3. Don't focus on one technology: alway keep learning different things. 4.Find balance: give proper time to other things besides programming, have hobbies, spend time with family, friends, etc.

You forgot to mention that to stay sane and in touch with yourself, touching yourself with the offhand while scrolling through stack overflow helps.

5:28 Can't be guilty if you don't have a portfolio

"Being stuck in this tutorial hell" - that's my new band name.

I feel like I'm watching a coder version of Piewdiepie

That is so nice. Hearing your experience is definitely one of the things that I should be hearing. I feel like I'm not happy developing website anymore, losing track of time, just tired, you know? It was nice to know yours. Thank you, this definitely helps.

Omg Dev Ed, you're like the PewDiePie of programming videos. Love how you make programming videos fun. Continue spreading your knowledge and love for this community ♥️♥️♥️

The todo list, shopping cart, weather apps are the go to exercises for every programming course I've followed 😂😂

I never commented on someone post on youtube but you are amazing man.

Most down to Earth, humble, and polite person on youtube who gives honest opinions with transparency and with a gentle smile :) Kudos

My main takeaway: don’t put all your eggs in one toilet.

9:35 'I know there is a lot of conTRAVERSY...' I see what you did there!

First off let me say thank you for making these videos I find them to be worth Wild and insightful. And second off I've been doing programming for over 15 years and I still find it worthwhile to watch videos and other people perspective the last couple years I've been moving into pentesting I'm doing multiple languages heavy on the python side but I still enjoy your videos please keep up the good work

started my programming journey with java, then switch to php and later knowing about database and stuff. Few years passed and now i use GO as my primary language, connecting a to z APIs and stuff.

I'm guilty. Weather App, To do list, form validation... Better not build my portfolio now I guess :D

Thanks for the entertaining video and sharing your experience. I am trying to get my first job in frontend and coding like crazy but also not forgetting to do my yoga and yes, play the ukulele as well :)

I just discovered ( for a month ) you in the internet and I should to say I'm so f*cking having fun and getting more useful stuff to improve myself. Keep doing this job maaan. You'r videos just amazing... instructive and funny as well... GORGEOUS !!! :D Good news is you have 1 more GORGEOUS FRIEND ON THE INTERNET right now :)

Thank you for all this information! :) I just got motivation to keep learning programming and enjoy it.

Nice final message! You're great Ed, we can get a lot from you. Thanks for sharing it all!

I recommend The Odin Project. I think their approach is very much aligned with your personal experiences. They put a lot of focus on being a programmer, not the techy-cody stuff from the start, but the philosophy, mind set, problem solving, personal challenges, ups and downs, etc. A lot of things your are speaking about. It's basically a "learn how to learn" guide ;)

You're so entertaining! And I like how you explain Javascript.I have the playlist saved. Thank you for existing

Liking your content a lot my dude. I'm an experienced SQL developer trying to pick up some web dev skills and I appreciate how grounded your stuff is. Keep on keeping on.

That thing he was talking about, that you learn to find what you cant solve, or learn thing quickly is so true I started to learn programming about 6 months ago, and i have noticed, that i kinda can understand things quickly and where to search a little bit better

Thank you ed dev for your experience i was also doing the same thing with my life thank you once again 😀

I love this guy! Thanks for helping me stay in programming, Kudos man! 👍

Hey Ed. Very cool video mate. The last tip hit home for me. Feel like I’ve definitely been too absorbed in coding at the moment and maybe need to chill out a bit and go outside haha.Thanks for posting 🤘

Thank you ed. It feels so good to hear such words from you. Especially the last Advice is helpful in my situation. I am working 40 hours per week at my job and i am developing the rest of the day on a complex website for a well known contact. It often occured that i just get out of bed and work the whole day until i get back to bed. It is just like you said, I need to find a good balance. Thanks for mentioning this, this makes me rethink my situation.

you are amazzing Dev !always excited for your stories ;)

You are the best . Thanks for sharing, I'm starting right now and try to learn java and CSS as well I heard that react is important also. A lot work to be done but you're a mentor for me. Yes really ! I love your style and personality and I hope someday I can be good at it . Have a wonderful day.

You deserve all these subscribers like nobody else. I am happy to see you grow man I appreciate your videos

Thanks, such a positive and informative video! A pleasure to watch! :D

This is the 3rd video I am seeing of you. And I can't stop thinking that you are somehow the Bob Ross of coding. Keep it! You do awesome!

as a 16 year old that's learning 10h a day,last tip made my heart melt

Thanx 4 the honesty ed!

At 9:48 I heard that beautiful song starting 💜💚 L'indecis - soulful

Wow this advice was beyond my expectations, answered alot of my questions, thanks alot bro!

The last part on "LIFE BALANCE" got to me. Thank you for this video. I describes what I'm going through right now.

thank you so much for the tips and all the amazing videos and courses

Dude, you are frickin awesome. I at my 33s just started learning and have THE SAME DIFFICULTIES of trying to learn everything about HTML and CSS and spending a lot of time on reading and repeating stuff. I've learned python by doing projects and it was easier for me to learn python than HTML and CSS. So thank you for this video now I have some thinking to do. :D

damn everything you told, mistake that u make is what happend to me now. I'm new at programming and i'm so excited at this , cause i want to be "game dev". At the first i want try to c# for my beginning but yah it's really hard for me. And lucky me i meet ppl got same prob and you already fix it. Thks alot buddy!

Oh man! I crashed and burned on that same tutorial series! ten years later here I am watching this video, you are a real inspiration my man! I remember many nights trying to imagine what exactly a pointer was and why they were ruining my life. Thanks for all of the cliche projects I have put on my portfolio, I dont have the time to be creative right now! I've also been told specifically I need to add more projects. I dont have quality or quantity, but I have learned alot from your channel. Thanks again in case you end up seeing this comment on this two year old video.

Thanks for this video, exactly what i needed right now. I am kinda lost right now. I know I have to learn, get better but at the same time i have no power anymore. Getting all this " Sorry we pursued with another candidate" makes you feel even more lost and useless -.-

Love the last thing you mentioned, super helpful!

Great advice, thank you

You're by far the best dev youtuber! You're taking me out of tutorial hell hahaha thank you!

man I love this video so much, it resonated with me man. Thank you 😊

Laughed so hard when you did the game engine early on. Relatable, I tried to do the same. 'How to create your first game in Java' and you can easily imagine how that turned out... Didn't learn anything.

Very true, man! 100% agreed.

You are really entertaining. Love your videos

Great.. thank you so much!

"And they didn't even put up the website" - I literally choked on my dinner.

:)) very nice setup. Bro I started in the 4th grade with BASIC...it was a course at my school...bad XP too :P

when you mentioned that we should make time for our hobbies, I grabbed my ukulele and started playing it!

I love this video, you've shared nice points. YOU'RE FREAKIN COOL!!

Awesome man! You totally right

Ed you look like Rudy Ayoub, he plays guitar and is funny like you . Love your contents man, I'm started html cs, 2 months ago . I have started working on some basis projects.

You are always fun to watch,I really enjoyed😅

Thanks for the advice. Hahahaha. I am currently studying HTML and CSS, watching tutorials, and learning from any coding/programming platforms but do not apply all the knowledge I've got in creating my own project.

His every video is worth Million dollar information, How great is this guy ! Salute to Dev Ed, :)

I can't fokin believe it - when I've started watching your video I was thinking about that I cannot understand state in React, today I've spent ten hours on that thing (with breaks for some videos with funny kitties) and then you said about your problems with state :D That gave me hope.

Thank you Sir for your wonderful tutorials..

thank you, it was so helpful

My first programming experience was also not very good, luckily later I found it does not have to be this hard. I started coding in university and the professor gave us some weird mix of js/html/php 5 mixed up in one file and said use notepad++ and make it use a database. Image a guy new to programming, using a notepad++ (no debugging tools)... I though if web developement is this - trying to add a line, uploading files via filezilla to sever and then seeing if you made any mistakes, then I am not pursuing it. Later on there was another course we were left on our own to pick the developement engine and language, but to create a website based on requirements. Stumbled upon your tutorials and realised it does not have to be an excruciating experience

Hi Dev Ed I really appreciate the work you are doing . Your videos have helped me alot . I would like to request you to make a video on linking images with accordions. I would really appreciate that.

You are awesome. Love you.

Could relate to you so much, glad I found this video.

LOVED IT

brutal regarding the not used website. i felt that.

"They didn't even put up the website... It's still the lady with the hat" ...Because you didn't host it for them, duh : -)

I needed this. Am presently in the Tutorial hell. When I try to put into practice what I learnt, am kind of lost. Learning html css is taking forever....

Looking great, my setup won't be that good anytime soon!

Ed, that last thing almost make me cry. Thank you, you know why.

i love u ed 😭 when you talking 💜

I totally love you, dude, you are my true hero for these words!

The hotel story, too good. Oh man, I'm sorry 🤣

I first came to your channel when you had 13k subs. Congrats on almost 170k subs🤯😀

Very useful information thanks 👍👍👍

You are the reason why I am programming right now!

those were not mistakes. that was your journey that led you here.

Ed: "And I know there's a lot of contraversy..." Me: "...Media"

Love it Ed!

Thank You, that was a great Talk.

Всегда с удовольствием смотрю Ваши видео. Хотелось бы увидеть в скором будущем, видео по оптимизации сайта по Google Pagespeed Insight, для Wordpress и Opencart. Спасибо заранее.

thank you for this. dev ed. because I'm literally burn out right now.

that brain malfunction 9:17 made me laugh :D :D

in regards to the "master one thing" or "be flexible" problem.... I feel it's best to master SOMETHING first... THEN become flexible. At the end of the day it's the coding wizards who dictate the trends in the industry because they'll create some super awesome thing that shakes the whole world somehow and all the Businesses will reduce the success of that thing down to things as simple as what language/platform it was created in and now they're posting positions for people who can build in that language/platform assuming that's what they need to be the "next big thing". Right now if someone created something ground breaking with Ruby on rails, we would all of a sudden see more jobs wanting Ruby developers, all of a sudden someone will come up with a way to make it more "react" like or "vue" like in a lot of ways, alllllll because of what some Ruby wizard created. No matter how many "better" ways we could sit back n come up with to clone that thing in our favorite JS platform, if a looooot of people with a loooooot of money think that's the "new thing" they need to have to "stay current" or finally "go big" that's the tide that will come with it, meanwhile nobody is looking at the personal/world value of the thing they created which is 98% of why it became as big as it did. People love it because of the solution it provides in their life. Nobody sees a product they want online and thinks "wait a minute..... what programming platform was this site built with?.... php?... nope.... I'm not buying this.." lol. So if people hear what it was built with they'll naturally associate it with the thing they're looking at and think PHP and Ruby are "new state of the art languages" that are "more advanced" than everything else because of what they see in front of them. So there's a lot of that element mixed in with actual practical shifts and advancements being made which can make "being flexible" more of a booby trap that keeps you spread too thin to ever learn enough about anything to be able to fluidly articulate an idea into a mechanism through any of them if you're new and don't know any better just following what all the jobs are demanding.... which a lot of times are highly unrealistic and laughable to experienced coders but taken seriously by noobs who feel obligated to live up to everything somehow. Like those posts we'll see for an entry level position looking for an intern or new graduate but once you look at all the requirements you can see that they're inevitably looking for someone with 25 years of experience but don't realize that's what they're really asking for. Aside from that the better we get at programming the more we inherently understand every programming language in the world even if we've never heard of them which lessens the learning curve more and more to the point where it's mainly just syntax, which makes us more capable of being flexible so long as we haven't isolated ourself on an island with just that one language and platform. I haven't personally coded in C# yet but I've learned a lot from studying it over the years because I use TypeScript with Angular and a lot of my "web" ideas are naturally more "software" in nature because I'm an Artist/Creator who does custom things and have certain processes I go through "face to face" that need to be represented mechanically, so I can't always learn everything as directly as I'd like to looking for it in a Javascript/Typescript form. anyways, just wanted to touch on that bit. Great video :)

Good Morning My Lovely Friend! Thank you for sharing things about yourself. The hotel website story is really funny, yet sad!

Yay new video

Hi Dev Ed, I am 20 years old and am aspiring to become a web developer. Which route should I take to become one? Should I get a CS degree, bootcamp, or take the self-taught route? I recently dropped out after 2 years of college, but now I'm not sure what to do. I am currently learning on TeamTreeHouse and have learned html/css so far. It's been a huge struggle though and I don't have the guidance to progress. Should I go back to school?

Amazing videos, my new favourite KZfaqr.

Thanks ed for your videos. I'm watching them since the lockdown so the advice about having other activities and enjoying games and family is a bit difficult to apply these days. I particularely loved this video as I reconize myself in some of the problems. I'm feeling overwhelmed by all technologies and possibilities. Should I build my management app in java because what's what I know and use in my job? Should I try something new and maybe lighter like python with django? Do I need to learn javascript? Is it ok if I'm not good at css but manage to do things that seems ok with code snipsets and other examples? Should I learn machine learning to predict sports outcome and earn some money? And so one... Hope watching your videos will help me find my way :)

You have a great personality

I was like you bro when I was 17 years old. It was hard when no one around you to guide. Its so frustrating.

your last words affect me .. i don t have any balance in my life now .. since i start programming .. i lost my friends, my girlfriends and my happiness .. i focus only to learn quickly to get a job as soon as possible ..and now i only like to stay alone with my birds to get a little of happiness

Best advice, real projects is the best way to learn.

That last one was deep Ed. Appreciate all the vidoes you’re posting! Keep it up :)

You're cool. (this is one of the few youtube channels I've EVER commented on!!)

That setup is...*gorgeous*

Sir if you dont mind ... I wanna ask you a question... What do you do..for living... Are u doing freelancing as a web designer/ Developer...or doing a job in a specific company..or anything else?
