small correction: current job market likes people who can do two things, not just one.
@Finkelfunk
What people don't understand is that there is a separation between your professional career and your hobby. As a hobby, you can focus on everything you want in computer science, all the fun parts like building applications and cool technology. But when you get to the corporate side of things, you have to treat it with a certain professionalism and hone in on a particular subject to excel at.
@noidsuper
Disagree with a few things. Don’t minimize the difficulty of CS or SWE: it’s really hard. If you’re struggling with it, it’s not because you’re directionless or dumb - it’s just really damn hard. Keep at it if you like and care about it in spite of the difficulty. If you don’t, just cut and run. Take it from someone who managed to land a job in a CS field and doesn’t actually like any of it. It’s very bleh. Second, don’t over specialize. Try and at least have surface level knowledge of one or two subjects apart from your main one.
@Squash101
Although this isn't awful advice, the reality is that you at least as a junior-dev won't have the liberty of getting into the field that you love, especially in this Job market. The way to land a job right now is to know a little of everything so you can apply to everything. Obviously, you can have fields that you don't want to pursue and you can neglect them, but overall you should be comfortable with different langs/frameworks. I know for a fact I don't want to get into Web-Dev so I don't bother doing projects with HTML/CSS/JS.

I’m a computer science student. I have to say that before enrolling in university, I didn’t have a very clear idea of what I wanted to do, and my background wasn’t particularly scientific either. Now I’m almost done with my first year, and I’ve completely fallen in love with both computer science and mathematics. However, I’m running into a problem. Like in most computer science programs, topics such as electronics and advanced physics aren’t really covered. So everything related to low-level programming, parallel computing on hardware, GPUs, embedded systems, etc., is left out. Here in Italy, you can do a Master’s in computer engineering, but in some cases, if you come from a computer science background, you need to take additional exams for a year to fill in the gaps. In my free time, I try to program microcontrollers to make up for what I’m not being taught, but I’m afraid that might not be enough. Can someone with a computer science background work on embedded systems just through self-taught experience? Can a computer science graduate contribute to projects like aerospace, automotive systems, and so on? Switching programs at this point seems like a bad idea — I already struggled to catch up on math, most of my exams wouldn’t be recognized, and I’d basically have to start over from the first year. Maybe it makes more sense to finish the computer science degree and then spend an extra year filling in the missing knowledge?

Exactly what I'm going through rn , I'm 19 and a student , 2 months ago my vacations started so I decided to learn everything , it's been 2 months nd my vacations are about to be over and I'm realising that I tired to do everything hoping my chances in competitive world would increase ... now all I have is a broken little bit of knowledge of everything that has no significance either in context of learning or markets , it was the first time I went through something like this when all the efforts just ended up with nothing , thank you ❤ I have been feeling lost since then nd needed this
@Fireball_Phoenix
I'm burnt out like everyone else. I've spent years putting in the effort to excel and it hasn't meant anything even once. I learned these skills because I loved what I was doing, and now it just feels like abuse. I want to love it again. But more than that I want to live in a world where I'm worth something. That's got nothing to do with you... I'm just frustrated.
@MED_Laaguidi
I swear to god i was strugling these days with the idea of i should be good at computer graphics and web dev and ai, but the truth is this is very hard. just focus on one thing first then the rest will come with time
@Flshkopf
The part about not needing to be an expert at everything hit home. Using Sherpa-sh, I can focus on developing instead of managing complex deployments.
@nevyinnincymedia6032
You have a clear way of explaining a topic bro
@Logger483
Thank you, really helped hearing the “master one lame thing” part. I’ve always struggled to make that narrowing of focus but this definitely gave me the right words to follow.
@bogaak
I'd be interested in the Discord community. I'm graduated in 2021, worked 2 engineering jobs, and got absolutely stressed out, and quit. Would like to talk to more people as well, maybe not in a similar situation but maybe just to relate to people somehow and gain more confidence as I move forward.
@Haru02w
I have given up on landing a job in CS and now i'm working on tapping rubber trees, even after all those years in college. Thank you for sharing that with me. I love CS, cannot see me doing another thing for life but seems like nobody wants me in their team. You made me realize that i just didnt find that one thing am good at. Gonna work on in now
@AbouFitness
Thank you for the content brother. I was falling into the rabbit hole of learning everything. I learned Java in class and Python on my own and started jumping between those two and JS. Now I will stick with one and become really good with it.
@SebastianLopez-nh1rr
My take is you should learn by passion, passion will take you deep. Once you’re satisfied move to the next thing. Has worked well for me.
@MohamadRafliMaulana
Me watching this while having 23 browser tabs open: 'React tutorial', 'Python for beginners', 'AI crash course', 'How to learn everything in programming', and 'Why am I failing at life'. I am literally the problem he's describing 🤡
@unknownz1238
Yeah, I totally agree with you. I'm currently studying undergraduate electrical engineering but I find my biggest problem to be direction and what to focus on with networking or project goals.
@numptywizard972
4:40 the absolute confusion when the villager clips through the wall lol
@philipgilliam3400
Dude, this was completely fucking awesome. Thank you so much.🎉!! There are millions upon millions of people who desperately need encouragement right now. And yes, I would be honored to be part of the community discord you mentioned starting.
