C'mon. Your vlog unlocks a lot. I am a 12k teacher, and you nail it to 85%. Students I teach, I tell them I'm only 95%. I tell them 5% is all on you. You still stretch this far longer. Thank you for this. Its heart warming and its so accurate. Just subbed, to be able to come back to watch this again. I will use most parts of your thinking in my classes. Man you talk wonders. Keep on with all of what you do here. Thank you so very much!! My love from Sweden. 🙂
Save your eight minutes-- 1. You don't need to know everything. 2. Learn how to learn. 3. Perfection is a trap. 4. You will never feel ready "start any way". 5. Real skill is problem solving. 6. Nobody cares about your code. They care about what it does. 7. Burnout is real. Protect your energy.
My Uncle put me down when he heard I was doing software engineering 😕 he says I’m doing a random course and I’ll end up being unemployed 😭(now I’m motivated to prove him wrong)
I was watching a tutorial. I don't know what I touched, but I found myself here. And I dont regret it. This is so helpful. Thank you so much❤
Summary of this video - 1. We don't need to know everything. 2. Learn how to learn. 3. Perfection is nightmare that will make you fear everytime you are coding for something 4. You will never feel ready.. There is no TOMMOROW! START NOW!! 5. No one cares how your code looks, they only cares about its working. 6. At some point you will suck at something. We can't able to solve a bug we try for hours.. relax take a break you will figure it out eventually. Thank you sir this video it really helped me now to change my mind perspective during learning to code. I have faced all these thing you have said 😅😅 stuck, depressed but now i have learn what to do by your experience 🙌. Thanks :)
The fact that I am so young and that I already know everything you've said just though my own experience gives me even more confidence than I already have. I don't wish anyone would have told me this earlier because I understood them by myself. Thank you so much for this video, this simply makes me even more convinced of my passion.
I have over 30 years experience in software across a variety of industries and platforms, and one piece of advice I can give is "listen to this guy!". I wish you made this vid in the '90s :)
Hey, almost everything you said aligned with the ITIL guiding principles! You're practically guaranteed to pass that certification. Being another self-taught developer, you just confirmed almost everything I've gone through. Good luck with the channel and with developing!
Early in my career as a developer, a seasoned engineer told me: First, make it, then, make it work, lastly, if you can, make it pretty. That approach saved me a ton of time.
Here are two things i could add 1st. Do not follow blindy. Ask questions. Always ask question. 2nd. Treat everyone as a mentor. Every interaction with someone treat them as someone who have different understanding. Maybe even better than your understanding. You are not as smart as you think.
I started making apps last year and honestly its saving me. I am 44 yrs old and my health isn't the best but the genuine love I have for development is helping me keep going.
It’s wild how much of what really shapes our lives happens behind the scenes, guided by rules most people don’t even know exist. I’m not talking about conspiracy theories or wild guesses — I mean these deep, almost invisible laws that control energy, timing, influence, and how decisions unfold. For centuries, this knowledge has been quietly passed down in small circles, hidden from the everyday noise and distractions. Then I came across Owen Hermstring, a creator who didn’t just study these ideas, he lived and breathed them for years. His book, The Law Behind the Laws, dives into these hidden patterns with such clarity and honesty, without feeling preachy or mystical. What blew me away was how it weaves together ancient wisdom, modern psychology, and real-world power dynamics in a way that makes you see the world differently. It’s not about hype or flashy trends, it’s about uncovering the actual blueprint behind everything — and once you start to understand it, you realize how much you’ve been missing. Honestly, it’s one of those rare reads that stays with you long after you finish it, making you rethink what you thought was possible.

Thank you Pete, this definitely wasn't a waste of my time. You speak very well! From Nigeria
For me it was "Don't seek the perfect framework, just pick the one that just sounds fine for you"
This gave me alot of inspiration! Have been teaching myself for a couple of years now through tutorials on youtube, udemy etc. I can truly say that I can refere to all of the different scenarios mentioned in this video. This kind of gave me some more confidence and gave me a push to just do it more! Thanks!!!🤩
You don't need to feel confident, you just need to be willing -> This sentence got me.
Thank you! I feel like I was meant to see this video. I’m working on transforming my career from mechanical engeener and breaking into Solidity. I really appreciate the message — I’ll keep trying and do my best to cancel out the "noise". Be blessed 🙏
One big lesson I learned was that when you're stuck on a problem for hours, it's best to put it aside. Take a break, go for a walk, or get some rest. When you come back, you'll likely solve it in no time.
