This calmed my anxiety over the amount of tech skills/ coding languages available to learn... my focus was too all over the place and I would get overwhelmed. Cool Video. Thanx TechLead!
Thank you for the awesome advice. I took the front-end web development path, with teaching myself HTML/CSS/JavaScript/WordPress and built a good handful of websites. I landed a nice intro job building Wordpress websites for Dealerships in the top floors of a beautiful skyscraper overlooking the water. I LOVE my job! I learned a lot from great advice from developer’s like you and a few other favorites on YouTube. I appreciate all you great developers that share their wisdom. Thank you.
Obviously the person who studies machine learning and JavaScript is preparing themselves to be the most prolific hacker of the 21st century.
Hey TechLead here, and welcome back to another episode of the TechLead , it is tea time with your host the TechLead , the TechLead . Now as an ex-google TechLead . . .
Damnit the Techlead is so fucking knowledgeable. All jokes aside u have dropped some serious knowledge that took me years to understand in just 10 minutes. In fact u do it whenever u decide to get serious, all while still working full time, mentoring Jomas noob depressed ass, going thru a nasty breakup, launching a business, managing assets worth millions, cracking jokes and drinking coffee. RESPECT THE FUCKING TECHLEAD PEOPLE!!!
I do agree with you , I have started as a front end engineer and learned backend development on fly, and that’s how I moved from a sales job to a Software Engineer position at BBC. Thanks for sharing tech lead 🙏
Don't let this video distract you from the fact that he is an Ex-Google Tech Lead !
as someone who only knew "coding" from high school classes and online tutorials this is immensely helpful. I felt like I have an actual goal to work towards and what I want. thx!
I wore the, "all code is garbage" shirt during my internship. Now I have an job.
I keep coming back to this video it really gives me perspective, I also started as game developer then AR/VR now doing mobile Android.
Excellent video sir. You just solidified my role in Web Full-Stack engineer. Why spread your focus on many languages when you can study and practice your skills in that specific role and be the best at it. Thank you again.
Thank you for this explanation of the industry. I started uni a long time ago and I got discouraged by professors talking about all of the different technologies and how difficult they are, but not talking about the different directions you can take to focus on some tech stacks and not all. I really appreciate this video and engineers like you that take the time to explain all the different paths you can take.
Hello TechLead. I enjoyed your description of all the job roles in the software industry. However, you missed out two important areas. 1. Embedded Systems Software Developer This job is done by Electrical / Mechatronic engineers. 2. Scientific Software / Numerical Simulation Software Developer This is done by scientists, applied mathematicians, and research engineers. It is a highly scientific area, and comparable to Machine Learning and Data Science jobs and requires tons of applied math. The area is also called Scientific Computing.
this is really useful for somebody thats starting in tech, thanks a lot techlead !
Embedded Software Engineering doesn't get enough attention. As microprocessors and microcontrollers are getting more and more powerful, the need for SOLID developers in the embedded world is growing. It's very much less of an EE role today than it was 10-20 years ago.
Just found your channel and have binge watched your videos. Best channel I've found in a long while. You're very likeable and funny, as you're so truthful. Keep at it, best of wishes with everything personal life-related! Thank you for creating this channel.
TechLead something something TechLead. TECHLEAD
Dang, why did he not mention Cloud careers? AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, etc.
