I studied 2 years and practice another year now I learning c# to become fullstack and yet couldnt find a job i feel sometimes to just quite

Enough is enough when you can use the DOM to build anything you want in vanilla JavaScript. And I mean full stack. You should be able to draw the UI by hand and know why you are selecting the database you are selecting. You should know everything in between too. JS <-> Express <-> Mongoose <MongoDB>. You should also know how to use a framework like React and Angular. And you should also be very familiar with debugging in the console, including knowing the quirks about the console output, because the debugger will not show you the most current output at times, and some of what looks like JS objects and arrays aren't actually that, they are a specific type of output for the console itself. You should know why functions can be arguments in JS. You should know about closures. You should how to iterate over nested arrays and objects in JS. You should know what problems the "this" keyword creates and how to handle those issues. You should know how to work with events and how to incorporate them into whatever you are building. If you don't know those things, and you keep your job, its not because you are good. Its because you got lucky and your job is supporting you while you learn. And not every job will do that haha trust me! Oh and CSS isn't just to style things. CSS can be used through the lifecycle of your application to select elements based on specific criteria. Its is a powerful tool that can add lots of conditional flexibility to whatever you are developing.

First, I love your content. I've been on this 'tech' journey for a few years now. I'm 52, and I've been stuck tutorial hell a few times. I'm not giving up and that is in large part because of your honesty and transparency about this field. Sharing your thoughts and ideas is so helpful. You are the real deal. You're genuinely trying to help people and that is rare. Just wanted to give you some feedback on the channel and to let you know you're keeping me inspired to not give up on this because it IS possible. Also, I hope things are looking up for you in your job search! Thanks so much and please keep the content coming!

thanks for the motivation man, its been hard

Fully agree I learned JS and then took a weekend to learn Python before I interviewed and did well 😊

And here was I, one hour ago doing a bit of research about freelancing and checking out Upwork. This is def helpful, and your channel is realistic to us who are starting out on this journey. Bigs up

I didn't know Tripple H was a developer

Honest review. Thanks!

Many thanks for sharing your experience.

Great advice, thank you.

I feel like knowing only HTML, CSS and JavaScript is enough to succeed as a freelancer

As an experienced Java Programmer that just started working with JS and Node, i feel like a kid in a candy store. Im not saying i could become a high level in these technologies over night, but im like picking these tools so quickly, especially when using these chatBot's like chatGPT nowadays and of course you can Google plenty of stuff. I always advice new developers, learn basics of OOP well, and programming in general, pick up a programmers mindset, dont worry to much about programming languages. They are esencially just tools, if you know what you need to build and how it should look, having a bigger picture in mind, you can pick up these things very quickly. A lot of far transfer of knowledge between different kinds of programming languages and programming tech in general. Basically, learn one language well, and you have them all in your backpack.

Would love to learn to code, maybe start a career as a freelancer and grow into more involved roles---but I fear I am too old. Alas, after starting just today, struggling through a basic 'hello world' project, I fear I am just 'Too Damned Dumb.'

Now I am motivated ..your video has just added value to my life

My biggest regret as a self-taught developer is focusing on vanilla Javascript for way too long. I somehow got fortunate enough to get a job without learning a JS framework and I still don't know one up to this day because I still think that I need to be a "master" of vanilla JS rather than taking action. If I could do it all over again, I won't learn vanilla JS for more than 2 weeks. Hope this comment helps!

These are not times when you could find job with HTML, CSS and JS. These times even learning framework (like React or even Next.js), learning TypeScript, learning Node, learning Mongo, Postgres, deploying your apps using Docker and PM2 on Ubuntu VPS server isn't enough. I mean I don't know what is actually, probably just doing freelance for a couple of years waiting for better times and be able to then flex with 5-10 years of exp, which might be enough to get the intern position, or even junior if you're lucky or have like 20 yrs of exp.

No way triple H doing web dev

dude if anyone woulda hire me after i learned what variables and loops are that'd be great :D

Hi Mr. Dad, are u still stuck with vue.js? I can maybe help you with that. I am quit good with it an. Won't cost anything expect some time talking and learning.

bro the googling thing is it real? or just hype for marketing for the course?

That’s sooo relieving man. I work in healthcare also and I’m an aspiring data scientist- Have Masters in Information Management with special interest in Web dev and DBMS, now on my 7th course in IBM Data Science Professional Certificate Specialization. I used to feel im not internalizing enough- not that I’m not. It’s sometimes frustrating. So this is relieving really. Thanks man.

Learn how to tell Copilot to do it, and you are even better. And don't have to do it.

Yes, I agree with you saying when it comes to CSS because it takes a lot of time. If you try to master it, I have had spent more than three months but still not able to learn most of things because it’s not so easy. It takes time you don’t need to learn that much CSS when you are a beginner.

Thanks, subscribed!

If I become full stack developer in next 2 years, can I get a job? I'm 16 now.

Is the subtitle auto generated?

One thing I am missing from you is that your journey of learning new stuff will never stop. Learning is the most important skill. You solve problems. As a web-dev its not your job to make a websites. Thats boring and actually can be realized within minutes by frameworks and I am not talking about AI. You have to understand and translate the business-logic into code. I guess you learned enough if you close your eyes forever - in the meantime get your work done whit what you have learned allready :)

skynet is comming

I set myself the goal to be able to build a page using a javascript framework.

Bro your a web Deb with 2 yeas experience so shut up

damn i thought true geordie had a career shift

I am 50 years old about to start a 28 week boot camp. lol I have no idea what any of this stuff is but I know I can do it. I have to because my previous skills are outdated and I can not retire for another 12 years...

I don’t need to learn if I don’t need to work.

starting webdevelopment or AI Development??

I like your content brother <3

I really like these videos

You're also a William?!!

Please also make a video how much react is enough, Thanks.

Real talk

bro no way pops know about the beef

The emphasis on googling things made me subscribe. I always panic coz there is just so much to learn and know by heart or stored in our memory. Thanks, brother

It seems you have also taken the Udemy course on MERN by Angela Yu.

Been learning how to code for 1 month now. I've had a few days so far that i felt overwhelmed and felt like im not cut out for this. I tend to add unnecessary extra pressure to myself by not giving myself enough time for new information to sink in and make sense. Then comes the frustration and thoughts of quitting. Thank you so much for this uplifting encouraging video. Its calming to hear that the emotions and thoughts that i am going through are completely normal and just part of the learning process. I will keep going and pushing through with a positive outlook that one day in the near future i will become a good/great coder! God bless and Thank you again!

how long you think does it take to find a job in coding? for example junior react developer

If Orson Welles were a modern, middle-aged programmer. The idea that competency in Git requires command-line competency is, if true, a black mark against Git. It _should_ be possible to do everything that needs done in Git through graphical tools like SourceTree, or IDE integration. The command line should _never_ be needed for daily work. The fact that we've allowed a regression back to 1970s green-screen UI paradigms to become the new normal reflects badly on us and means we've short-changed our colleagues.

do you have any projects in mind when it involves typescript , html , css , tailwind and react? awesome video btw

How are you affording to live with this aggressive time blocking? What do you do for money lol
