This is the most realistic guid I’ve ever watched. My first JavaScript course was a 20 hrs YouTuber course. I understood the syntax but couldn’t write code. The second course on JavaScript was a Udemy course. Only then I actually understood what was being taught. It’s always the second course where the “AHAA” moment comes. Also like you said, the pre-course is very important. I always watch a small overview of a topic before starting the main course
bro you're right.... Tech is going still and will be valid for new devs. AI just here to help us devs
Thanks for this vid. I started learning python programming 2nd of January, 2024 and I didn't get to build projects until July/August of the same year and I must say that building those projects really caused an expansion of my knowledge and understanding of programming, but I must be honest, programming is not easy, but I know it only gets better with every day of practice and building.
Thank you for being real. I have seen so many videos I don't relate to. They are either too experienced or just joking "Shorts". Neither were helpful mostly. I am just starting out like you. I have been in a bootcamp for two months, not self-taught. I did start this process almost a year ago though. I took a break. I have learned HTML and in CSS now. Next up is JavaScript. So, I will definitely be looking forward to consuming your content. Don't ever question its value or your purpose here in this YouTube space. Thanks.
That 'coding brain' bit around 13:30 is so real, lol. I've been thinking that way for so long that it doesn't even register as extraneous. It is really nice because thinking logically like that will genuinely help you out with so many little bits of life. One suggestion I have is to take a step into learning some of the math behind what you're working with. Nothing crazy, just diving into some discrete math concepts like graphs and modular arithmetic, or some basic linear algebra, can help you leagues in solving problems effectively with coding! Good luck!
I cannot agree more on the part where you say about building a small project at the very beginning. I passed an online course on JS, but things just hadn’t clicked at that time. Only when I started working on my own project from scratch did concepts really start getting together. And you also got me thinking on what I have achieved in this short period of time learning JS. Thanks!
If you guys are learning to code, the best advice for 2025 is to NOT get all your answers from AI. Learn to think and solve the problems yourself. Going fast feels good, but everything has a cost. The cost of just being an information relay for AI instead of trying to understand yourself is not being able to debug, or even understand different approaches.
You said all that needed to be said: you just have to block it out. All the noise. And just follow your heart
This is honesty! No wonder this channel has few followers! This is not click bait. This is honest talk! Appreciate it man. Keep doing this good work. Respect.
No way this channel doesn't have at least 500k subs from the content quality
Spot on! AI is great but not the end all for sure, especially when you are coding for clients! You will have to learn this stuff so you just have to buck up and learn it! Most important thing is to not give up!
Fun and inspiring to watch you on your journey, i'm actually on the same journey, a bit behind you tho, but i'm thinking about youtube, blogging, and all that stuff. Currently a newb on js and working on courses, projects etc.
1:38 You don't need to learn HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for your first project. Understanding "how tech works together" is a pretty lofty goal. I earned my associates attending a program designed to focus on your major. In many ways, I learned more than most bachelors holding peers. Even so, it still wasn't until the 3rd quarter until we started doing web development at this level. One language is fine. One tech is fine.
I enjoyed watching every seconds of this video. I see myself in you ❣ . I'm trying to do a mix of both learning (slow & steady) and vibecoding (motivating achievements that won't happen soon at my level)
As a guy that has recently started coding, I've watched a ton of vids on my spare time regarding development. Your video has 100% the realest, most down to earth approach and I really loved it. You're a cool guy! I hope things work out great for you my dude.
You’re one of the YouTubers I've kept on my pathway, so no blocking there. Just subbed as i start this journey with Python
❤❤❤ great story!
Doing fullstack toy projects at first is good to grasp how things are working together, however after you've done 1 or 2 of these projects you should move to a more specific path, either backend or frontend. Being a fullstack basically means you're a jack of all trades while not being actually good enough to do either very well.
I have to intervene, you cannot learn/comprehend this subject over night. Its done the old fashion way. Even when I was in school/college trying to learn (3 yrs ago) I thought it was the nastiest thing around. I was lost, I didn't get anything and going to school where you want semester grades and hours is even more stressful. I took this class 3 times, then I did get some and it was on- line and with a different teacher, he was slower. /thenI started to learn about the files, naming them and renaming them for CSS. Now, I have it. Now, I want to teach this darn thing, the right way. Old fashion way, is sitting down with your computer and the proper book, and studying step by step. Can Ai teach you how to have a wonderful relationship, NO, neither can it teach you this. Sorry, I don't like bootcamps, either, don't go do there. OK, bye 😍😍
