Hearted Youtube comments on Phillip Choi (@letphil) channel.

  1. Little does he know this is the beginning of the story on how he became a tech billionaire
    553
  2. Wearing a Java tshirt is crazy
    437
  3. IT is life long "looking for a job"
    328
  4. CRUD projects is a canon event for every developer ever😂
    152
  5. Sorry to hear bro, got laid off myself too. 10 years at one company. Don’t blame yourself, the leaders are the ones responsible for f*cking about with the finances putting these companies in these precarious situation!!!
    149
  6. Changing career at 29, bagging 6-7 years of experience, life is so random, and unplanned, yet me starting as a Junior .Net developer, you've opened my eyes to be prepared for such situation, subscribed to you channel, stay strong brother.
    134
  7. This too shall pass. Stay strong.
    116
  8. This kids, is how you succeed. No long preamble, no quick guides on who or what to follow. Just fail, and succeed, and fail, and succeed again. I hope things work out for you and your family and keep on keepin on.

  9. The GitHub was accidentally private, but it is fixed now and should work! Please let me know in your comments if you have any questions.
    103
  10. I’m so glad you went over the technologies used for your project in such detail. Luckily enough my bootcamp had a bonus task to dabble with React Redux and now I’m building a chat app with React Native. Great advice Phil!
    71
  11. Every junior developer should see this. Success is the product of daily habits
    62
  12. Getting a glimpse of your project was awesome. ✨🔥
    55
  13. This is very motivating. Without a csdegree I gained and lost my coding job and it was a huge blow to my confidence. I had to learn Angular, MongoDB, Typescript, NodeJS I learned so much! I'm not in development anymore but I really want to try again. I'm glad to see a developer without a cs degree still grinding.
    52
  14. Be kind to yourself! Lay offs are really rough for anyone... and remember that what happened is not your fault.  Thank you for sharing this.
    39
  15. You are the voice of a lot of us bro. Take care and thank you for sharing your story. Looking forward to hearing more about your journey that so many of us are in as well.
    35
  16. For these type of projects I use Flutter for the mobile app and Node/Express for the backend. For the frontend of the webpart I use Angular with PrimeNG UI library. For the database I use EdgeDB because my applications tend to have more complex data models and EdgeDB makes that as simple as possible.
    35
  17. Whatever you said about going back to resources when fell attacked is 100% accurate. In my learning journey this the most eye opening lesson to have. I used this mindset in different problems like in life, coding etc. Your journey is very inspiring as I was having my self-doubt phase and wanted some motivation. Keep it up🙏
    33
  18. I like using Chat GPT to explain code in various ways. Also gotta love those tests. Never had gotten into it, until I started my mentorship with you. Def makes the code bullet proof 🔥
    32
  19. Sending you lots of love my friend. I hope you are able to make it through this tough time.
    30
  20. I wish you the best of luck! I'm currently learning to code after deciding that law school wasn't for me, and I just turned 30. Sending you great vibes and energy along the way.

  21. Phil personally helped me a lot when I was a new junior developer . Anyways, super friendly and knowledgeable guy, a true underdog story. Ask my guy here anything, I am sure he'll answer quick.
    25
  22. This is very eye-opening. I am in my first year of college going into computers. and I'm trying to start a project in order to gain experience. Seeing all those files and folders was very overwhelming. It looks so complicated. However this just keeps me motivated to keep learning. Thank you for making this video! 💯
    24
  23. Bro you should start a business teaching others how to code . You're leveraging the max out of both your skillsets in teaching and coding.
    21
  24. Classic stanleys paradox narration
    16
  25. Actually Jesus saves lives
    16
  26. when you say coding saves lives... ive been saying that to myself, holding onto some hope ill be able to land my first job, and then have a paycheck. Ive been unemployed for a long time now, and I have no career opportunities. This is my glimmer of hope to a better life. Some days are very dark and uncertain right now.
    15
  27. you should stop smoking man, just a word of advice. I know it'll help you relieve stress from coding and other stuff but your health will just deteriorate.
    15
  28. I feel a significant difference between when i used to code on my own before llms blew up in HS vs rn in college. Chatgpt helps out a lot when i need to know something or implement it but dont really have extremely clear background knowledge like regex stuff or implementing more complicated architectures in deep learning I think another important thing is to know when to stop, sometimes i find myself diving way too deep into tiny aspects and wasting a lot of time reinventing the wheel, its satisfying but definitely hinders pace
    15
  29. Damn, 2025 is gonna be hard to get that job as an entry level dude, but step by step we get there guys
    15
  30. I love the baby sound in the back LOL. Coding is the new self improvement
    15
  31. I'm 24 currently stuck in life, no job and no motivations to do anything. But since I found your channel you've been such an inspiration for me. I started coding everyday learning and working toward my goal (Getting a job and become financially independent ) And for the first time I feel I can succeed in it. Thank you so much for your videos, they have a great impact on me.
    15
  32. They're going to start replacing workers with AI, your job won't exist in 10 years.
    13
  33. Stay strong Phillip. I can relate, about the same age as you with a baby daugther. You will find a new job and thrive
    13
  34. every month family burns a lot of money. as the time passes you can feel more stressed about it.
    13
  35. love your energy man. Good luck to you and Ill wait for your videos
    12
  36. Took me around 150 applications. I got lucky compared to some people 😢
    12
  37. Youtube algorinthm likes you bro.
    12
  38. Imo the main problem is not the using code from AI. The main problem is use this code and doesn't even try how tf this code works. We're living in powerful times, that's technology can resolve many problems especially in IT development, but we should use this tools with right purpose. As a Junior Java Developer that's doesn't even have one full year of commercial expierence always in first step i try to my best to understand all stuff by myself, but if i've appear some problem then i'm really kean on to use AI, but every time when i use chat, i request prompt into a chat i always said it ("Explain me this as simple as you can"). Very often chat can paraphrase some stuff more simplest than some teachers or docs (even if this should be our main source of knowldege but a lof to people know how to make a code but cannot describe it in simple way) If my English is bad, sorry but i'm not native speaker.
    12
  39. there were no tech layoffs in Japan, infact they are very desperate for new engineers, mid engineers and senior engineers. so when people say the market is bad its usually just the market in the west that people are speaking off. how about korea ?
    12
  40. A Banger after banger after banger. That's how we do it now.
    11
  41. build your own fully functional MVC app (without a framework, or chatgpt) and you good
    11
  42. Thanks for sharing. I work in IT, I love computers but I want to be in a position where I can make a difference. I am 35 and started learning coding in January but stopped in May since the classes ended. (I need to continue studying on my own) One thing I realized after months of learning, coding is something I may like to continue pursuing because it involves problem solving and it’s satisfying once you solved a problem. But I need to stop gaming and replace that time with learning a new skill for a better future for myself.

  43. ngl man this are very common projects i dont think a recruiter dev will be impressed by this
    10
  44. just go to Germany. We are 10 years behind the curve
    10
  45. Pain gives us two choices. We can either be destroyed by it or we can use it to change our current situation that we hate. Thanks Phil for the philosophy. Get it? 👊
    10
  46. You dont need a cs degree, its a waste of time. Just pick a project and do it
    10
  47. Hey Phil, thank you for being the senior developer who had grit because if I didn’t run into you in Korea I would have given up in coding. But I’m lit now thanks to you 🤣👊
    10
  48. thank you for the suggestion. please keep a look out on the next couple of videos
    9
  49. "Fighting with the computer" - that's why I hated being a developer. Also fighting with a lot of (often very) badly designed and written code that had been hacked out by many a poor trained coder several years prior.
    9
  50. Pain just means we are becoming stronger ❤
    9
  51. "I didn't give a fuck who the President was" 😁😂😂. True that, this journey requires cutting off so many things and just focusing.
    9
  52. Two years studying cs at uni and most of this sounds foreign to me, I am cooked lmao
    9
  53. Nice explaination man. Success for you! I also learned alot on personal projects. I built an entire CRM with a partner, we started selling it as a white label SAAS and ended up being bought by a company. So besides the learning curve, we also made a good amount of cash with it. Keep it going
    9
  54. Haha this was very timely as I'm currently learning TDD from The Odin Project. Thank you!
    9
  55. Coding saves lives 💪 Let's push the video up the algorithm; More comments!!!
    9
  56. That was super detailed man, thank you! It's crazy to think you went from bootcamp to securing multiple gov contracts so quickly.
    9
  57. Hey Phillip. You took the plunge at 29 that I should have a long time ago too. At 38, I stuck to what was the "safe" route and ended up with some damn city job. Thinking back I'd switch places with you. Congrats on the bravery, the family and starting this youtube. It takes a lot more courage to do what you did.
    8
  58. 😂 00:25 same shit different toilet, looool
    8
  59. My approach nowadays is if I need to learn something, mainly for frameworks. Let's say I wanna learn framer-motion. This is what I would do. 1. YouTube: type "framer-motion crash course"; next filter out the search result by 1-year-old videos. So, I get the somewhat updated content. Follow along with the video. Once that is done 2. Official Docs: Learn the same things again on the Docs. In the crash course, they miss out on some nuances if I don't understand the Docs then AI. 3. AI: ChatGPT/Cladue Ask every silly doubt I have, and squeeze out the info I want. Because they won't yell at me. 4. Project: Then I implement the concepts on my projects.

  60. if asian people can't fine a job, do other people have a chance?
    8
  61. Let Phil is the best community! Coding saves lives!
    8
  62. im taking a front end dev course thru a jr college and im also following you! i am really enjoying it and its been quite easy so far. im hoping to keep going and finish with a good score. i am encouraged by your videos!
    8
  63. All habits that give us respect at our companies for doing it.
    8
  64. There's a small bug in the code in the fist line: if (!a || !b) throw New Error("both arguments should be passed") While this works for most cases, if you enter in an input like sum(0, 5), it will return an error rather than 5 because 0 is a falsy value. I think doing something like if (a == null || b == null) would be more suitable because this checks if the inputs are null or undefined, or just deleting the first line because the typeof check would already be able to handle null and undefined inputs.

  65. 02:08 thoughts on martial law 😂

  66. Hope you doing good brother 😊
    8
  67. Programmers bring insane value to a company, they should be PAID
    8
  68. I feel like a complete useless programmer, following tutorial after tutorial and can't build anything substantial. It definitely does suck right now
    8
  69. I did the same and never looked back. I gained valuable relationships and network as well as a skill to change my own life. Thank you coding. Coding saves lives.
    8
  70. we have the same experiences, BAD circumtances changes us internally and slaps us the reality. Glad I'm not alone in this journey in Software Development
    8
  71. I love the senior developer I am today as well! It’s all a matter of consistency for me
    8
  72. Coding saves lives!! I’m staying vigilant to become a senior developer like you. I want to provide financial stability for my family and always maintain a growth mindset. There isn’t an end goal for me. Just be better than the day before. Wise words Phil. Doing the uncomfortable thing that will make you better isn’t easy but it’s damn better than the alternative.
    7
  73. I’m stuck doing dev ops at a big tech company even though I was supposed to be fullstack. Imma do these to sharpen my skills to hopefully jump ship. God I hate dev ops
    7
  74. You probably get this a lot. But you’re definitely an inspiration for me. I’m mid 30s right now and just learning how to do it all. I’m battling imposter syndrome before I’ve even landed a job lol. I’ve attempted this a few times over the years and self doubt always won. But this time around, I’ve decided there is no other option and I owe it myself to give it all I got. Coincidentally a few days after I decided this, your videos started poppin up. I guess I’m just trying to say thanks for sharing your story. It helps a lot in between cigarette breaks.
    7
  75. Let’s go Phil, but one thing for sure is coding saves lives
    7
  76. At work, had to comment first. Already know it’s a banger vid haha
    7
  77. I have a similar story. Just a year and a half ago I was a piper at an amazon phlebotomy warehouse making nothing! Signed up for a bootcamp and learned Rudy on Rails and now I'm making the big bucks. Shout out to the shkreli coding academy. Job Ready!
    7
  78. It's correlated to the Section 174 of the TCJA change that begun in 2022 > required to capitalize and amortize R&E expenditures > no longer immediately deduct these costs in the year incurred > Domestic R&E Expenses: Must be amortized over a 5-year period > Foreign R&E Expenses: Must be amortized over a 15-year period > amortization begins at the midpoint of the taxable year in which the expenditures are paid or incurred tldr: taxes ruined the industry and the job market
    7
  79. JavaScript is very easy language to learn... words of senior developer... LOL. JavaScript is one of the most hardest languages to master like ever. Why? Because dude made it as one week challenge in 1995. And because of this and thingy called don't break the web and many many added things (to language and ecosystem) now we have a monster language to deal with.
    7
  80. You’re taking the time to make videos, share your emotions and journey with the world. That’s tough man, but you’re tougher. You’re a hero.. ❤
    7
  81. The freedom definitely is nice, but at the same time the nagging feeling of trying to be somebody sucks. It's a bittersweet relationship because a lot of us tie our self worth into the work we do. I've been out of a job for a little over a month now and I'm just now starting to rebound about my feelings of self worth as I work towards new goals. You seem like a very humble and good person. You have something going with this channel man. Stay positive!
    7
  82. Coding was a skill i needed to help my business thrive. It opened doors for me and helped me surround myself with go getters.
    7
  83. I was a developer for 5 years after graduating from university. Something told my brain and myself by my mid to late 20s that this was a horrible occupation. Gave me serious depression and other mental health problems. I haven't written code for just over 30 years now. Which is why I am still here, as a free man, rather than being 6 feet under or living in a secure mental institution. The ICT industry is definitely not for many many people.
    6
  84. I want one lol 🎉
    6
  85. best mantra "if i can do it you can do it, coding saves life".. yeah
    6
  86. Taking risks and denying self doubt is what it’s all about! I am already enjoying the video!
    6
  87. Very Genuine, I can't wait to become a web developer. Thanks a lot, Philip.
    6
  88. Hi Phil. Love these short, to the point videos. I am sorry you got laid off. I am a new grad MLE myself and I believe I have so much to offer but I can barely get any interviews since no one wants to hire new grads and the coding challenges I complete lead to nothing. Seeing someone as experienced as you go through this makes me realize how bad the tech market is right now but then again 'Every No is a step closer to Yes'. Good luck man.
    6
  89. I just watched first part and now this. You already got a interview. You got this
    6
  90. Thank you, I'm a junior developer and facing the same right now
    6
  91. From a mid-level developer, asking for help is okay guys, but make sure to do all the work first before asking.Also document your stuff.
    6
  92. letphil best coding community~
    6
  93. You're a great mentor
    6
  94. You are old when you say you are old me with 25 years old: I feel old dude.
    6
  95. u are the goat
    6
  96. Looking forward to the weekly lessons here, thanks bro 💪 glad the connect worked out.
    6
  97. I really hope you got a stake in their company... Doing incredible work that causes them to pivot business is an insane win. You deserve a piece of that business now
    6
  98. you are answering people that ask questions! Outstanding...Not many do it like you. Most of the "coding" channels are , imo copycat channels that just using the niche without any skills at all, they have absolutely no interest to interact with their subscribers..for them its all abut the numbers and the money they made off of it ...without coding , just talking about it.
    6
  99. really inspiring video and really great advice for a begginer like me thank you 🙂 but when you say about all this it feels a lil overwhelming (maybe bcs i dunno JS) but yeah i'll learn it soon
    6
  100. i short if you wanna learn something you need to learn from creating a project
    6
  101. 4 years in college is really a waste
    6
  102. learned more in this video than i have the past 3 years in college as a web dev major 😭
    6
  103. Invaluable advice Phil! Not only for professional growth but also personal. Adopting the mindset that if you’re willing to immerse yourself and work hard you will achieve success. Thanks for being a mentor to people like me and keep up the fire content!
    6
  104. No dopamine without your own effort! Everything else is addiction!
    6
  105. Those little actions everyday , that end up compounding, makes those huge changes.
    6
  106. Great insight brotha, thank you. Now it makes me feel like I should finish that diablo game i started coding
    6
  107. First day of free js course was great. It's a good refresher for those that are experienced, and rises questions for those that are barely starting The cool thing is that you offer your help after the fact, and not leave people clueless.
    6
  108. Good work bro! My guy is progressing 👊
    6
  109. Did you just only work on web development projects?
    6
  110. Using AI to enhance your abilities is so true. Great video, thabks for the tips Phil! ✨
    6
  111. Coding saves lives 🔥 You're right though, the time is now 💯
    6
  112. as a dev lead, nagging wife is nothing compared to nagging project manager 😂
    6
  113. Phill... your raw honesty and gumption to trudge through your search for employment inspires me. I'm in the same boat as you are. Keep the faith hermano! 💪
    6
  114. As someone who codes in both ML and Unity, totally agreed.
    6
  115. Reason I wanted to start coding. I wanted to make a career change to make more money and enjoy my work.
    6
  116. What really helped me before I got a job in programming was making stuff for myself. Nothing big, just small command line interface tools. Having concrete goals like that can really help with motivation and focus issues. It's also a much better learning experience than endlessly following tutorials.
    6
  117. Don't have the $10k for a bootcamp - but im gonna keep on learning and keep on coding and building. 26 now and plan to be in tech before 27.
    6
  118. I still prefer working from home haha
    5
  119. It’s not just tech. I’m in banking and they are constantly cutting costs and laying off workers every year according to the flavour of the year. The only ‘consolation’ I have now is telling myself I’m not the only one. I took some time off to get myself back in shape mentally and physically again by joining a gym, seeking help from a hypnotherapist, read and listen to podcasts. It’s a lonely journey. You just have to take one day and one step at a time.
    5
  120. I would love to be a part of it, if you're going to start a business 😢
    5
  121. That sucks man. Get some rest and spend some time with your family and loved ones. I hope you get through this tough times. I am also struggling as a fresh graduate BSIT to get a web developer job right now and when I stumbled on your video I thought you needed some heads up. Your video made me feel that I'm not alone in the journey as a developer. There were ups and downs.
    5
  122. Can you and your coworkers start your own companies? I think we need competition for Amazon, Tesla, Google, for all the giant tech companies. We’ll support you! We want to see co-ops tech companies. Monopolies are anti-capitalism. Best wishes to you all! 💕✊🏽
    5
  123. Good luck! I'll keep an eye on your channel to see how to progress.
    5
  124. Hang in there Phillip! one door closes and another door will open. I was laid off from accounting 2 times from the same company due to relocation; another laid off due to reduction in government contract. With connection and a bit of reinventing myself, I am currently working full time again. With your background, you will get back on your feet again.
    5
  125. Your son is fortunate to have you as a father. You got the right mindset and with that I'm sure he will become a great man later on in the future. 👌
    5
  126. It’s a team sport! Us developers gotta stick together and fight the upper management haha 😅
    5
  127. Nice, that was me
    5
  128. Love this, great job Minnie ✨👏
    5
  129. We are gonna get you to 2k subs by the end of the month bro. We all wish we had a mentor like you
    5
  130. Thanks for the lesson Phil. I can’t wait to get into more advanced topics 👊
    5
  131. Im 50 and want to learn too! Subscribed.
    5
  132. thanks phill, gonna use this to become a react demon
    5
  133. Good stuff Phil, thanks for sharing your process. Valuable information for sure 🔥
    5
  134. Love seeing the break down of your process. Super valuable information that I'm gonna use ASAP. I'm learning some python to build a project for my bootcamp, just downloaded the Getter extension. This'll be a game changer for search productivity.
    5
  135. you inspire me so much thank you
    5
  136. bro real nice video , can u do a video on what your startup is about and other plans 😊😊
    5
  137. Classes on Sundays will be lit
    5
  138. Thank god, I needed this video 🎉
    5
  139. Just now finishing this out, it seems like you have more side projects than me! And that’s saying a lot since I had 90 repos about in my first couple of years. I am learning so much and enjoyed the vid. Code 7 btw
    5
  140. have you landed a new job yet ?? i hope you do soon! i got an interview today
    5
  141. If you ever consider making a tech startup, I'll be really interested in being part of it.
    5
  142. hang in there brother, i know you, you clawed your way out of darkness many times and been successful, looking forward to seeing u come out on top
    5
  143. Any time I run into people on the internet that do things that frustrate me or anger me, I try my hardest to stop, and think....what are they going through? Maybe it's causing this. Maybe their worst is happening right now. It helps, sometimes.

  147. I do believe nicotine helps the cognitive function but smoking it is definitely not the best route, I say this as a smoker myself. I am trying to switch to gum so I can still get my nicotine
    5
  148. That felt so cinematic! 😅
    5
  149. Holy smokes, sick project, I was just thinking about finding a tool to record my ideas to text while I'm driving. So cool to see the the result after just 40 minutes!
    5
  150. Great Content. In the future could zoom in the code editor a little bit then that'd be great easy for those who follow along! Thanks!! Kepp up the great content!!
    5
  151. All those experiences have built who you are today! You should be proud of your perseverance to change! Coding saves lives
    5
  152. This was great to hear. As someone who struggled with substances as well, and currently rebuilding myself with the help of code, and a member of your discord, this lets me know I’ve made the right choice in following you.
    5
  153. This is cool, as someone who has been coding since I was 12 it's very interesting to see the process of someone starting from minimal knowledge
    5
  154. What I wish I knew before I started coding, That even a 30 year old dude like me can learn it. 🤝
    5
  155. 6 figure salary and keep living without furniture apart from dollar store plastic bins and shelves seems to be a rite of passage as well
    5
  156. hey thanks for posting this. it's nice to know file structure and what stack (and why it) is used. this stuff isn't obvious. it's easy to be in a vacuum while building and so releasing the info to put people on is much appreciated.
    5
  157. The real G 💯
    5
  158. great video! def needed this for a refresher
    5
  159. For me, not just the skill but having the network was the key to landing my first job after a bootcamp and doing the work that no one wanted to do at first
    5
  160. You seem like the chillest senior dev. I hope for my first dev role I get a senior mentor as down to earth as you are.
    5
  161. Thanks for another video bro. Learning Javascript from a pro is lit. Thanks for the free lessons dude.
    5
  162. lol nah bro I dropped out 3 times, beat that 😂 good to see your channel growing!
    5
  163. Used it to build a cron job function in prod because my manager was preassuring me to finish

  164. Thank you for this great video! Every junior dev needs to see this.
    5
  165. Like how you broke down the process of starting a project into manageable steps. The focus on documentation and organization from the start makes a huge difference. Keep up the awesome content!
    5
  166. Clear and easy to understand! Thank you for the content, Phil.
    5
  167. Hi really enjoy your story of how you got to where you are now, super cool to hear. I know python and want to learn JS and react. For the next lesson, can you enlarge the computer screen and maybe put your camera in a smaller corner of the screen? It's a little straining having to look at the code. Thanks for the content Phil!!
    5
  168. Job ready! Your story resonates with me. I got a 6 month contract at Uber. My first tech job. 31 yrs-old, no degree. Honestly, the only reason I got the job was due to networking.... Yes, I did well on the interview, but I would have, in no way, been able to get the foot in the door without the reference. Congrats on the first job! That's huge.
    5
  169. Job ready, I love these real conversation formats. People need to hear stories that are real

  174. I am ready! Gem of a video 💎 looking forward for part 2! Thanks for the tips y'all 🤍
    5
  175. Damn I can’t just chill anymore gotta get up and implement this info. Thanks for the tips
    5
  176. The part about focusing on pixel perfect UI hit so close to home for me. Throughout every project, I’ve enjoyed messing with CSS the most. But from a professional development standpoint I always felt like I was wasting my time if I wasn’t speeding through the styling to get to coding more of the API backend stuff.. it’s great to hear that this is something I can spend more time focusing on because other devs might not enjoy it as much 😂. I’ll reach out to brainstorm this a bit more with you Phil if you’re down. Fire vid as always!

  177. First

  178. You need to cast a wide net, and avoid traditional tech companies. They over hired. But normal non-tech businesses have desperate need for business process automation and improvements. Go there.
    5
  179. Golden advice right here ✨
    5
  180. This is great, you are firing me up 😊 I feel like it’s all gonna go right after seeing this. My entrepreneurial side appreciates you!
    5
  181. coding saves lives i think so too...
    5
  182. Omg I wanna cry. Thank you for this, I’ve not been feeling motivated to code lately but I think you just sparked that love for coding back. 😊 Thank you again!!!
    5
  183. Im unemployed now , but i love so much code , this area save my life when i was young (im 26 now) and im felt losed in my life , cause i didnt like it anything (profesional carrers) , im very glad for being software developer . This video is a boost of motivation for us
    5
  184. Heartfelt, honest and inspiring. I genuinely appreciate you putting out this video. It has great value for all of us, far beyond the coding community.
    5
  185. hey bro you already hit 1k subs mans you gotta keep going to 2k... we can relate alot to what you saying
    5
  186. W vid Phil!
    5
  187. Thanks for the motivation Phil. Even when one feels like giving up, we always have to remember why we are doing it ✨

  189. i work from home and i feel like nothing is happening in my life
    4
  190. I like home because some days I need a nap at lunch and I wouldn’t be able to do that at the job most likely.
    4
  191. life is all about ups and downs. a good friend of mine just got laid off a couple months ago (he was having issues with his boss) he was devastated but very recently got a new job, and he prospers there. keep on going and do keep us updated with new videos!
    4
  192. Also going through this -- love your mentality. You GOT THIS!
    4
  193. Im in the same boat so I know how you feel right now... Following your channel to support!

  194. Being wealthy enough to reproduce and support offspring is something, at age 42, that I wish I had achieved. Congratulations ✊
    4
  195. with u bro...im a 100% sure ur gonna be sucessfull
    4
  196. My mindset is “Ill do it now because I dont want to keep thinking about that thing that I need to do and Im not doing it“, it is very stressful so thats the reason Ive been trying to keep that mindset. Im not setting goals or anything Ill just do it, not delays, nothing, JUST DO IT, DONT LET YOUR DREAMS BE DREAMS, DO IT! f**k off procrastination.
    4
  197. Hey Phil, just a guy who messed up in uni and am 24 now. Starting to reshape my life and re thinking my priorities in life. Am i late @24 for fulfilling my dream of becoming a successful software engineer? I don't know, but will sure try my best.
    4
  198. Glad I get the privilege of being the first to comment, Id love to be a way better programmer writing algorithms that are scalable and fast in a more efficient way but I know im not gonna get there in a day so I find it really really hard to be consistent, and videos like yours motivate me because I do the math and think to my self like God if I keep going at this and at the pace im going ill be somewhere similar in a few year , I might not know a lot now but one day ill be there.

  206. Let’s go! 🎉 This was the video released on the bday 😅
    4
  207. Good stuff. Liked how to went over those little details that sometimes gives us hell.

  211. I studied politics in university. Could not find a job. Learned programming, and now I just landed a job as a web dev. The job tough and there are overwhelming amounts of things to learn. So thanks for the help!
    4
  212. I like that. Practicing that will allow you to create more opportunities too.
    4
  213. I think throughout my life, the thing that always stopped me was the fear of failure. I think even in a piece of code that I wrote, I second guessed myself a ton. I realized I should just make it work first then refactor after. Dope vid 🔥
    4
  214. Hmm, scared that I'm not good enough, even though in previous situations I know it's fine because one is not perfect and even though there will be a lot of "mistakes" those mistakes will make one better. Now I've practice the "fu** it" mentality to make it easier.
    4
  215. I stumbled on your page randomly as I watched tutorials on python. I just started coding at 38. Frustrating at times but really encouraging to see that I'm not alone. I'll definitely start documenting my journey. Your page is a great resource for me.
    4
  216. I entirely agree. Having said that, I need to put some more effort into this😅
    4
  217. can you do a version of this for aspiring back end devs?
    4
  218. first
    4
  219. it may not due to technology advancements. but these will teach you foundations, there's no skipping it.
    4
  220. I just found you yesterday, your posts are nice to see man. I currently have a Full Stack Cert of Completion in the MEAN stack, but do you think having done that I could transition to the MER(eact)N stack easily?
    4
  221. I got one soon too, big offers all around 🎉❤
    4
  222. Warning: Executing JavaScript from a string is an enormous security risk. It is far too easy for a bad actor to run arbitrary code when you use eval()
    4
  223. Another w video ❤
    4
  224. Oh sweet, here’s more! Thanks for posting!
    4
  225. With every setback there’s room for refinement. Also, before applying for a certain company maybe study the company a bit that you want to go into. Their work ethics, how they run things, etc… even the small things matter. Good luck and keep pushing!
    4
  226. Where there is a will there is a way. ✨
    4
  227. you are my savior, thank you dawg.
    4
  228. Agree 100% Action needs to be applied when when we are presented with opportunites.
    4
  229. So true , when you're determined there's nothing that can stop you from reaching your goal. Awesome advice and reminder ✨
    4
  230. Help me with suggestions on this question of mine please. So like Im good at prompting i know what prompt to ask to ai like be it cluade or v0 and i know where that code needs to be placed to make it run, and how the file structure would be, but if i start writing functions from very beginning I can't write them. I get things done but i cant do them just by myself and that feeling is worse. Its like without ai im nothing. How can I fix this problem or maybe what should i do
    4
  231. couldn't agree more, hearing a senior dev say that motivates me to try and work harder!
    4
  232. just taking your advice and commenting to put my thoughts out, I'm about to finish Harvard CS50 and I have a final project in mind but I'm scared to submit it because I want to use this idea as a future business later and I watched a lot of SWE shows where they get bit in the ass because of the fact they built something under someone else. any ideas ? sorry if its too opened ended but I'm self taught I want to get to to japan ASAPPPPPPPPP>

  236. hell yeah loved the vid, need more of these. it feels like hanging out minnie did a great job with the cam
    4
  237. Yo this video was fire 🔥 definitely keep these types of videos coming. Awesome to see a sneak peak of what your day to day life is. P.s coding saves lives 🤍
    4
  238. love your video im at uni semester 9 majoring technology information in indo your videos keep motivating me!

  239. Can you do for text to audio
    4
  240. Hey there 👋
    4
  241. Life, for most part, is a journey that sometimes seems so unsure; but then, it is never too late to come and rewrite the script. I mean, am still figuring out my path at 22, but still believe that everything is unfolding exactly the way it should. The bottom line is believing in ourselves and staying on track to become the best versions of ourselves. Faith and perseverance will do the magic; then we'll shape our tomorrow to stand a better chance of fixing what we want.
    4
  242. I'm learning java script and looking forward to these lessons
    4
  243. Great info! 🔥 Especially when one is starting out, could be a bit overwhelming.
    4
  244. email generator is such a great idea for the first project, good luck shay!
    4
  245. I don't think you should dowload that app I don't work there anymore LMAO
    4
  246. Hey phil, first I like your project. Second, what are the languages could you recommend someone to use to be a developer? I used Kotlin, and I feel like it's not enough to be a developer....
    4
  247. This is great senior developer tips here 🥹
    4
  248. You taught me about reduce, it really is something that can make ones life easier 🔥 awesome video btw
    4
  249. please subscribe guys
    4
  250. also for those watching this video, BACKEND is viable too, you dont have to learn frontend like every single javascript youtuber guru suggests. thats how I failed originally learning programming.
    4
  251. Hi Phillip, I’m in the middle of an online full stack web dev bootcamp and your video has some really great points. Coming from a similar perspective of feeling too dumb to pursue this myself in earlier years, I resonate with your advice. I’m so happy I took the leap. It’s videos like this that keep me going while I continue to cultivate a passion for learning and building discipline.
    4
  252. I like the mustache. 😆
    4
  253. I still have it in coding, in gym, even as a cat owner...fml

  254. my first CRUD app was a card game store manager, and a playable game with auto save feature. Was fun.
    4
  255. thank you for sharing your lows Phillip. it made us feel heard and motivated 💖
    4
  256. Learned something new, thanks 👍
    4
  257. Thanks you again! A real problem for all of us now! Integrate the usage of chat gpt but no depend on it 😌😌
    4
  258. I’ll be honest, dom’s and html are harder for me now than react 😂
    4
  259. for the next video can you make your screen smaller so we can see the code screen clearly. it would help since I'm watching this on a laptop
    4
  260. This is a good approach. I would add that every few projects, see if there are any better ways to do what you have done and upgrade yourself. Only following tutorial without a project is like shooting in the air.
    4
  261. Like and comment for my guy Phil, keep it up brother! Happy Halloween
    4
  262. you sonnova... stop pointing at my weakness! i'm inspired.. i'll go update the README's i haven't updated in 2 years.
    4
  263. Love this! 🙌 It’s crazy how much a good README can change the whole another person's perspective of you. Like you said, not only does it make it easier for others to jump in, but it’s also a lifesaver when you come back to your own code after a while and can’t remember what’s what. Thanks for the reminder! Definitely something we all need to do more often!"
    4
  264. Putting a good markdown PR description is also invaluable

    4
  268. Really happy to see your growth, phil. Like you said in the other video you're becoming a YouTube star 🌟. Don't forget me when you hit 1 Million subs. Feels like Minnie is working hard behind the scene to make you a star.
    4
  269. Realest YouTube channel

  270. Damn, this vid is a real banger
    4
  271. I think one mistake that I made in trying to get my first junior dev job was focusing on 100% getting better projects on my portfolio and not focus on learning what all the code does. I feel like it should be 75% project base and 25% technical base post bootcamp. I only say this because you are not going to get noticed from just having simple apps on your website(todoapp, weather api app, etc.) So its best to focus on a kick ass website with great/unique project to stand out but also focus on those algorithms and data structure problems/questions if asked. Ever since 2021 I was never given a coding problem in an interview since. Just technique interviews and code project. So maybe focus on getting good at reading code and technical problems and focus on leetcode stuff if need be, but depends on the company so very inconsistent of course.
    4
  272. Really good advice man. Good tips to get the momentum going. Also I'm envious of the hair man. Hah
    4
  273. You should start calling out Jake Paul
    4
  274. Mentality changes is what it takes for us to change. Belief in the path we are following and just starting today. Why start 21 days from now? You said yesterday, we will do it tomorrow. Today is that tomorrow. Let's go.
    4
  275. This proves that coding/software engineering can buy you a BMW 🤣 I should study hard and build projects. Thank you for this kind of content. Motivational.

  276. Coding is someone who go through every hardships with you. ❤

  287. Cool, looking forward to your content teaching the other guy! I am grinding myself and learning tons of stuff everyday. hoping to start applying to JR level jobs here in Japan within a few months
    4
  288. Filip your personal story very inspiring for all as average people. Thank's!All the best for you and your family❤
    4
  289. Inspiring to here about your journey! I personally have been self studying for the chance to break into tech and videos like these remind me that success is for those who don't give up and show some grit. Thanks for sharing :) Plus I always drive by Carrington college lol so it was cool to here you actually attended
    4
  290. CSE student here working towards becoming a backend developer. It's tough but in the future you'll see how far you've become and what hardships you went through. Also wanted to ask is learning some frontend important to work on the backend?
    4
  291. Cool video 🔥, you really do have knowledge on wide range of things 😅 I worked the most with the MERN stack, but I would really love to learn React Native/flutter.
    4
  292. My company lets me work remote if my condition is not too good. I have to say i never thought i would prefer on site vs remote. Seems like having productive people around u with easy to access communication / relationship building is something i underestimated.
    3
  293. Good luck and godspeed dude. Recently let go myself; these days it's a lot of technical interview grinding before I get back out there. I wish you and your family all the best. We're gonna make it.

  294. Skimming the title, I was about to congratulate you... but then I realized it said "off".

  298. i made thousands of dollars a day, had bad money mgmt and lost it all. deep in trenches. now the reason i made it back after 2 years is the mindset. do,do,do,action. i love your mindset. attack everything. read the law of attraction. we can only go up from here.
    3
  299. Subbing man, was unemployed also for a few months, not a nice situation to be in, started my YouTube channel for the same reason. 500plus videos later I’m in a job in the field I wanted.
    3
  300. You seem like a nice guy. I will follow up and try to support you. I think you should try solo game dev, especially if your wife is also a programmer. Nowadays, many solo game devs do YouTube vlogs about their job and get much attention. Don't get too depressed about the loss of your job, because your family will sense that and it will bring them down too. Ears up and full speed ahead. If you are hard hard-working person and want to find a job, you will find a job. Only lazy people don't find jobs obviously.
    3
  301. Keep your head up man, went through the same thing not too long ago. You'll get another job!
    3
  302.  @letphil  Coding is an interest but more so developing mvp's real quick so I'm taking the no-code approach to building apps. So far that's it, idk if this will go into anything further. But I just wanted to develop some ideas I've always had wandering in my head. All while working a 9-5 completely unrelated to this
    3
  303. You give me a lot of hope, thanks
    3
  304. thanks for sharing phil, youre a great dad and an inspiration to work hard. do you think a "north star" can ever be something other than children?
    3
  305. This weekend I went to the hospital. Guys I thought I was done for….. I’m happy to say I’m feeling much better and I’m still here for another Phil video!
    3
  306. None of us have all the answers, but when we help each other out and share what we know, we can go way further than trying to figure it out alone 🔥
    3
  307. Coding saves lives ❤‍🔥

  308. Still watching today will let you know when I finish
    3
  309. Beautiful and Hardworking ❤

  310. Your videos are very inspirational, man. Can you tell the technologies, you work with, please?
    3
  311. Hey Phil, you and I have a similar story in the sense of diving into a new industry. I ended up going through a trucking boot camp and sticking with that for a few years. The trucking industry and pay is down in the dumps as well. I'm recently unemployed and gearing into developing a game for VR while I do gigs/side jobs. Stay positive and keep growing your channel! Thank you for the video.
    3
  312. Banger video as always, very motivational! It might just be my busted headphones but the audio is only coming out of the left headphone for me, might be something to look into. Great video though!
    3
  313. I like how you mention how writing things can help one keep track of progress. Also, the time is now, not tomorrow or next week. Yeah the most difficult part is starting but once you do, it really does get easier. Awesome video 🔥
    3
  314. we went to the same community college ;0 do u plan to return to the bay? (I don't regularly watch ur videos)
    3
  315. Late to the party, such a good message as always. “The best time to start was yesterday, the second best time is now” True for so many things in life you want to achieve.
    3
  316. I'm 16 and I'm going in high school and in my school we learn how to code, what coding language I should learn? What advice you can give? Thank you.
    3
  317. first

  318. What a fun hangout! Wish I had coding buddies. Enjoying the video already
    3
  319. 09:36 🤣🤣 Damn Minnie, I thought the game was built using some framework, but you built it with pure DOM manipulation. Awesome work, dude🔥
    3
  320. Let’s go 🔥
    3
  321. Another productive lesson. Thanks for sharing the knowledge with us Phil! 🔥

  331. Slow and sturdy😊
    3
  332. have you ever thought about leading a community project? i would for sure love to take part.
    3
  333. 😂 I forgot coding. Need to brush up on it. It was fun though, thanks for having me.
    3
  334. Thanks for the video, Phil & Minnie. At first, I thought it was an easy problem. Then, I tried to implement it on my own everything was going smoothly, and then suddenly I got stuck at the last. Need to work on algorithmic problems. One question, Phil: Can we use higher-order functions like map, reduce, and filter and Object static methods like Object.entries(), keys(), and values in an algorithmic round? I thought we should use basic, plain old for loop, for in-loop, and if statements in the algorithmic round. I know the algorithmic round is to test our problem-solving skills. Not what syntax we use. Just asking.
    3
  335. Bro it's not hard to buy a good mic
    3
  336. For sure 🎉
    3
  337. Nice tips Phil! Realizing when to asks questions is clutch, and sharing info is super important
    3
  338. Good reminder Phil! At times one can feel like if we are not doing something all the time, then we are "wasting" time, yet it is crucial to take care of one first , otherwise it just backfires.
    3
  339. Taking breaks is important, learned that lesson in a harder way.
    3
  340. This went over my head, what would you recommend a guy like me do to understand this stuff?
    3
  341. Congrats on your first 1k subs!
    3
  342. Following you guys along, keep this up, let's get job ready together!
    3
  343. Nice tutorial! To keep the website online do you have to pay a monthly lightsail subscription after the first 90 free days? If so it's about $51 a year
    3
  344. very informative and easy to follow!
    3
  345. Your timing is always impeccable! I was just thinking how I should host my portfolio site, this definitely helped Phil. Thank you!
    3
  346. GitHub search bar is definitely super underrated!
    3
  347. This will def make my typescript experience easier!
    3
  348. im still beginning . this is still way over my head rn
    3
  349. Nice video. Ive been studying web development by myself for like almost 3 years. Ive made a bunch of projects mostly using React and Solid (with typescript) but only for front end. I only once worked with the backend when i used firestore to get data. Next I think I need to learn how to do authentication (using Firebase) cause its an important feature of every app like you said. I know how to handle forms (using Zod and React form hook) but for some reason the backend always scared me.
    3
  350. My first project I did was a canvas html game 😂 weird route indeed on my end.

  356. Could you make a video or if you already have a video on learning a new technology from 0 by yourself? Did you watch YouTube tutorial? How do you get your hands on the practise?

  357. 5:20 thats my problem i know some functions in python. i followed a guide on html that adds css and js. now im too exited and want to jump into a project right away after seeing what css and js does but im not ready i still have yet to learn other functions in python. do you think im doing it wrong? should i just be focusing on python basics and master that?

  361. How should I approach working on the calculator app. I could easily just work through the code off codepen but I feel like Im not going to learn like that. What steps would you recommend to try an approach creating say the Calculator app from scratch. Great videos !

  369. I’ve been doing software qa for 27 years. It’s really grown a lot. What’s worrying to me is how easy people are finding it to do the job. The barrier to entry seems to be nearly nonexistent to a large number people who are much more tech savvy then they used to be. Right now I get a premium for coding skills but that’s changing in last year. Tell me if the skills are relatively easy to pick up for such large numbers of people how long will it be before the job pays like a teacher salary? They also go into it for the passion that they feel like they are doing something that matters:

  383. Cool Stuff man. I see youre still coding for fun. Good to see you do stuff like this man. Thank you, ill also play around with deepgram. Sounds fun
    3
  384. any future project videos like this in python or rust?
    3
  385. its a simple phrase but it could mean tons of things, and when i think about it, it means a lot to me.
    3
  386. o def. learning this thing is the foundation and proving u have enuf perseverance and passion for this job. its about potential not ur skills at that stage. once u get a job thats when the learning really starts.
    3
  387. Watched a few of your videos and decided to subscribe. Very inspiring story my man, which I can relate quite a bit to. I'm turning 29 this week and am also going into my final year for the CS degree. I did a software engineering COOP from January to August and unfortunately didn't make the cut for a return offer. But I did learn a lot in the process. Definitely feel like drinking is what is holding me back from the next level. Thanks for the encouraging videos.
    3
  388. Coding is one of the best ways to self improve and to mind build!

  400. This will be legendary!
    3
  401. Wow, i'll be following your lessons, looking forward to it
    3
  402. I’m interested in coding. So I’m definitely looking forward to these videos, I will follow along as well so hopefully in 4 weeks like you said I can look back at this and say I’ve learned a lot. Can you put the extra assignments you will give him to study on his on in the descriptions of the videos I’d like to read those as well
    3
  403. This is a great idea! I feel like I'm in the same boat
    3
  404.  @letphil  Phillip, I appreciate your responding to my comment, and I will let you know what hurdles I run into during my journey. Thanks for the advice. 🙏🏾
    3
  405. this is actually amazing Im glad I stuck with your channel after hearing your story.
    3
  406. why if you are a senior developer do this stuff, your job gives like 100k a year
    3
  407. 🔥
    3
  408. Another 🔥 video! It’s great to hear you talk about communication and work experience as something you look for over a new graduate in some circumstances. As well as not getting caught up with trying to learn everything. Sometimes I feel like I don’t know enough, but I relate to you in that I have grit and passion and a willingness to learn. Great advice, thanks for the unique perspective Phil.
    3
  409. It’s a great feeling when you uplift others and it benefits you as well.
    3
  410. I love how you tell him all the tools and techniques one might use for this. I have made a website myself but I didn't use any of these techniques, I just did what I thought I should do so my backend was really messed up.
    3
  411. awesome ! this is what i was looking for
    3
  412. also maybe you could use the feature flag in firebase.. but to be honest I like how "simple" , I mean not over engineered the solution looks like. Because I come from J2EE world several years ago.

  415. Hey Philip! , I am new to react native and i know the JavaScript very well , I can make a project with MERN and Next.js. As i want to really deep dive in react native what are the list of projects that yeah if i do this i will have my hands enough dirty to master the react native. And also can you suggest me any one final project that i will do to showcase that i have the mastery skills to build an application using react native. Thanks and love from India!
    3
  416. Hey. You used React and nodejs for an apple app? Isn’t that coded in Xcode? Also the app seems Korean and they use android over there which means you need kotlin and Java
    3
  417. I was working as a nurse for years and I was tired of life. I sat my ass down and learned Java which lead me to learning CRUD apps and I fell in love with code. 3 years later im in my dream role and earning more than I ever have.

  421. Ur account is growing quick bro. Congrats on that, and turning ur life around. Similar story here totally unrelated master degree -> web dev, so I can relate. Keep it going!
    3
  422. Great video, I think that the quality would be even better if you were to use less cuts in your videos making it let distracting and smooth, again thanks for the amazing content!
    3
  423. Some feedback, the quality of audio is so bad, Phil. I can barely hear u

  431. thank you for your comment. i like things as simple as possible. KISS, keep it stupid simple
    3
  432. Thank you dude 👊 for the second lesson
    3
  433. With all due respect, this advice is irrelevant now. A few years ago, all the compagnies would hire anyone and I mean ANYONE. A bootcamp graduate would have a chance even if he has no degree. Now, the playground is completely different. Unless you have a CS degree don't even dream working in any compagny. At least have adl degree in something and apply through networking. Otherwise, no way you can gind anything
    3
  434. Thank you, if you listen to the very end I am sure it will be of some value to you, whoever is in the comment section

  439. Hey Phillip, I was about to ask you to create a Discord server, but I see you already did. However, the Discord link isn't working; it says it's invalid or expired. Could you please look into it?
    3
  440. congrats manh!
    3
  441. Back to the car, best place to reflect
    3
  442. It hits harder as a junior dev, most of my code in the company i work for ends up not even being used, i feel like i'm useless most of the time
    3
  443. believe in the process
    3
  444. I meed mentorship bro
    3
  445. Nice video. Your looking good man, getting in shape, keep it up.
    3
  446. You are gaining subs man keep posting daily I recommend watching other tech YouTube channels and maybe reacting to tech stuff
    3
  447. Brilliant. Please keep it up. as for self learning this is really good stuff
    3
  448. When I first started programming/learning a new language I’d use chat gpt to understand why things happen and to learn the syntax
    3
  449. So I am trying to understand your point as developer student, we should thoroughly test our code, have documentation and?
    3
  450. I started using ai to write some of my code, it's much faster and so addictive, but I see the negative aspect, it might make me mentally lazy and unwilling to do the work that's required and that will prevent me from learning new things faster
    3
  451. I think it's okay if you genuinely understand what is going on in the code. If you don't then stop and learn till every 'why' question is answered. Also try to build on your own.
    3
  452. Day 19 commenting Coding saves lives in every single video!

  454. i like how you haven't even mentioned job hunting yet, which makes sense since a project would be helpful
    3
  455. Thanks for the information. I'm taking a python boot camp. I'm on the engineering side but I really like the break down the project in a samller pieces.

  460. I was stuck in tutorial hell last year haha, I just get lost in the youtube videos...
    3
  461. Thanks for the advice, Phil. I was stuck in tutorial hell for several years. The thing was for me that I didn't even know I was in tutorial hell for the longest time until I tried to build something on my own. I learned most of the things you have said by myself. I completely agree that repetition is the key, and solving the edge cases in my own personal projects helped me to think about how real-world apps work. Eg: Suppose we allow the user to upload their profile image. If I don't catch some edge cases like they should only upload image files. They might upload some random files with different file sizes. which might cause trouble to our app.

  462. I always wanted to know what is the name of this vscode style extention. If you know what it is, please tell me

  480. AI won't take over shit. It will be used as a tool, and it will help development be more efficient. AI in terms of taking over, impossible.
    3
  481. I'm a senior and i kinda disagree with you, the industry starts to become very toxic > you're asked to know a lot > things go way to fast > middle-management don't understand shit > middle-management can't keep up > middle-management only push buzzwords > therefore middle-management keep squeezing us > therefore middle-management keep taking bad decisions It starts to become way too taxing, the youth still have a lot of energy but now i see people with less than 6-8 of experience completely burned, they have a hard time recovering the hard work that is asked nowadays. Too much pressure and too much close deadlines by people that are NEVER accountable for their mistakes and bad decisions. The tech industry is in trouble. It is unsustainable. Skilled software developers remain in high demand, but the issue is that many developers lack the necessary skills. Software development is a challenging and intricate profession. It often takes a decade of hands-on experience with the right projects just to begin understanding the depth of what you’ve gotten into. Staying relevant requires a lifetime of continuous learning, as technology, paradigms, and architectural patterns evolve rapidly. If you're not willing to dedicate significant time each month to honing your skills, this might not be the right career for you. Every few years, clients start to realize that many of the developers they’ve hired are not up to par, leading to waves of layoffs—something that seems to occur every 6-7 years. We’re likely in one of those cycles now. However, this phase doesn’t last long; the demand for IT services soon surges again because high-performing IT is crucial in today's economy. Developers are then rehired without much scrutiny, much to the frustration of truly skilled professionals, and the cycle repeats, eventually leading to another round of layoffs. The real challenge isn’t just the years of experience but the fact that every five years, almost everything you know, apart from some basics, becomes obsolete due to new technologies and approaches. The pressure is relentless—you never feel like you know enough. A developer with just three years of experience could know more about the latest tech than you, simply because they started with it, but they too will be outdated in another two years. Imagine if surgeons had to relearn basic procedures every five years because the scalpel was replaced by a new tool that’s just slightly faster. This profession feels like an endless rat race, and the only real upside used to be the decent pay. Now, in some countries, you can earn more as a courier. It’s hard to see why anyone would want to join this field today. I think we need all need to have a discussion about it.

  484. that's why i took AI engineering for clg, bcs it has more scope for the future hopefully im kinda skeptic about if i will get a job or not and the begginer salaries are like too low and my clg is not like tier 1 clg...idk now i feel scared

  485. i wanna use ai but i feel like right now as a beginner its prob just gonna confuse me more or is that just me being a pussy?

  486. Build your own shit, no need to work for a company that will take the lions share. Domains are cheap, hosting is cheap, build, create, strategize, launch.

  512. Great message! Professional and hobby game developer here, and I agree, if you can play video games you can learn to code. Its not easy, but i can be done and it is very rewarding.
    3
  513. youre cool bro, i agree with your message

  514. I hope it saves my life. I feel like a huge failure so far. I hope I can do something with my life.

  517. What's your opinion on starting this journey via the free CS50 course that harvard has online? People love that course, but I'm not sure. Curious about your opinion.
    3
  518. MashaAllah. Keep up bro. In am learning but my brain fried to understand JavaScript.
    3
  519. I took a course on udemy of html and css and it was a good course but i noticed that after that course i just had a intermedium level so now im struggling a little bit with css and i learned how to build a website but i get overwhelmed by all the effects and thing that css has and i think im stuck right now... I should be on JavaScript by now

  520. Coding saves lives.
    3
  521. im 45 and planning to switch to tech coming from nursing. Is it too late? Which path would you recommend?
    3
  522. Apps that you see other people use? That's impossible, with all the big tech companies always hogging common media programs like Netflix or Spotify, working at a startup sounds way riskier. Is it perhaps an open source project? Or is it a local app that targets a niche? I find it all interesting with the rise of the FOSS movement and AI growth.
    3
  523. Thank you for the inspiring message
    3
  524. I've been coding for six years, but I still feel like a junior. I'm not growing and feel stuck in frontend development.
    3
  525. how old are you currently? since 8 years you become an expert in coding, perhaps the first years of the career change should been hard for you? right?
    3
  526. I took a programming course early in college. I was sad when it ended because my major required no programming, and I so thoroughly enjoyed it. Some years later I came upon a problem that required programming knowledge, so I began doing it again and never quite stopped.
    3
  527. I also started learning coding to make career change. But seeing todays market situation having less jobs and more applicants makes bit depress..but I'm keep on learning...how do i connect with you? So i can gain guidance, knowledge and motivation to keep going...

  531. Nice story dude! Please do not stop the videos when you find a new job (which you certainly will very soon)
    3
  532. Do you think you can easily get a remote job now? Do you want a remote job? Do you think a starting junior engineer's prospects of getting a remote job is decent? The same as an in person?
    3
  533. Loving the content bro! keep making keep posting. People will be here for the journey

  534. This is an inspirational story for me man, valuable video. And stay strong

  535. Im currently studying my third year in CS or information technology, I suck at coding I feel stuck and tired and feel like I havent learnt anything.
    3
  536. You can definitely do it bro, honestly a bootcamp is there to plant the seeds so you get into the habit of coding and give you confidence and give you the fundamentals, but at the end of the day if you are driven, the information is out there for you to grab!
    3
  537. 31 work a very physically demanding job but is numbing to the mind. I started coding for fun and love the possibilities. Do you think it would be worth trying to get a degree or do you think being self taught is still possible? I just get nervous when I read Reddit they all say you need a cs degree now. Love any advice
    3
  538. I am trying but Ive been stuck in a loop of using chatgpt to get the base code and then tweak until it works. I know I am not learning things properly this way but I am just so lazy.
    3
  539. Thanks for sharing. You got in the coding market in the pre 2020 era, do you still think coding is the way to go for people looking to just get started? Everywhere I see people say it’s oversaturated and see career fairs of hundreds of people all running to a recruiter.

  542. I felt stuck in my situation, same as you Phil. I didn't have the means to pay for a bootcamp once I decided I wanted to pursue web development, so I made a plan to better myself. I tried the self taught free route with The Odin Project, but it wasn't enough to keep me motivated. I broke free of a decade-long toxic relationship and created healthier habits for myself. I saved up money and continued self study but fell off track for a while. Then I made the decision to invest in myself and paid a similar amount for my current bootcamp. Now, almost 2 years later, I'm nearing the end of my bootcamp and I've completely changed my life. While I haven't gotten into my dream career yet, I've remained consistent. The progress I've made in coding and my personal life has been drastic compared to 2 years ago. As minnie put it, it's helped plant the seeds for continuous learning.

  544. im excited to hopefully land a remote job because i cant really move in my situation right now, but i still need income. this is a perfect solution for me. so hoping i find a remote job.
    2
  545. I totally get the Home mode and Office mode thing. What helps a lot is to have your work computer in a different room that you only enter to do work in. This way when you leave that room it feels like you left the "office"
    2
  546. I like working from home because I get to enjoy playing games with my friends while "working" and only doing 2-4 hours of work lol
    2
  547. I've done both and I feel like as long as I place a schedule upon myself to finish my work, I should be able to have time for my other priorities, otherwise I'll get sucked into a void where I'm not doing really anything lol
    2
  548. yeah
    2
  549. I call this process "Back to basics".
    2
  550. Best of luck to you.
    2
  551. Good luck bro, ps teach me code pease?
    2
  552. Wish you the best man
    2
  553. Wow. 😢
    2
  554. Why are you crying lol. I got laid off so many times I am used to it. I don’t care anymore. If I don’t like a project I refuse to do it and am firm with it. Ended up getting promoted as a result. Don’t be a pawn. Be the boss.
    2
  555. To all the IT developers out there, you need to look for banking, try to create new software or app to solve problems, try to sell it and see if that will work
    2
  556. "working on the same project 15-16 months" - I didn't need to listen to this video longer than 15 seconds to figure out the issue. It's not your fault per se, but all companies are cash strapped and shouldn't be financing projects with low ROI like this. Best of luck.

  562. Hook yourself up with a game designer, artist and musician and form your own indie studio.

  563. Stay strong brutha! You got this ❤
    2
  564. Been there, after 30 years with a company and actually creating software that saved the company millions, I was close enough to retirement that they pulled the trigger on me. It turned out to be a great thing. I have partnered with another engineer, and we are working on a startup. Hang in there, bud, and keep the perspective you have about this being a journey.
    2
  565. One thing that no company can take from us is our knowledge. Hopefully you will find another job sooner than later brother.
    2
  566.  @letphil no worries dude, chin up. You got everyone’s support on here and I’m sure your family are behind you too. Don’t be afraid to change industries too, this can be the making of you 💪

  569. im a gov swe, havent been laid off but i feel like i only make half as much as u guys lol... its like unicorn blood, ull be kept alive but u wont have much money
    2
  570. I just got laid off yesterday as well. I'm 30 years old and worked as a video editor for roughly a decade (mostly in social media/advertising) and funny enough just started recently browsing /r/learnprogramming and been thinking of a career change. Would love any advice I can get on where to begin. Wishing you all the best!
    2
  571. Hope you will find a job soon.
    2
  572. Thank god you got laid off man. We don't need old developer that takes high salary and do bulls**t stuffs. People who read this, please don't pity to any software developer that work in America. They seems laid off but do you know how much they have earned ? Spend more time on yourself rather than pitying all these bullshit laid off guy looking a for new opportunity on youtube man. They got laid off doesn't mean they are broke.
    2
  573. Find a developer job with the federal government. It's a very stable job.

  574. Thanks for sharing your story! If I can share some advice! Take this time to find the LORD! Only HE can give you peace in the midst of the storm!

  575. Can you teach me how to program?

  581. im really scared now
    2
  582. I wish you luck. Use your family as energy to get thru this tough time.
    2
  583. What tech stack do you have experience with? Hope you get sorted soon. Will follow your journey, subbed
    2
  584. I subscribed to be able to watch you succeed in the future! Press on brother!
    2
  585. The algorithm brought me here. I would love to see you do onscreen coding and explaining. That would be so helpful. Am subscribing in hopes that you do! Hang in there!
    2
  586. minimize expenses. hang tough !
    2
  587. I hope you find employment soon. Something you enjoy and pays the bills. Good luck.
    2
  588. Leaving a comment for the algorithm. Keep your head up.
    2
  589. I'm just glad i quit coding very early in college. Coding is very competitive, and not everyone is going to get a job. We have Ai and many professionals don't even do work like they used to and have Ai do it for them.
    2
  590. Hi Phillip any tips for a guy who’s just wrapping up his last month in a boot camp? I’ve got an internship the last month of school. But I’d like to push myself the last 10 months and hopefully land a job (I say 10 Months because I don’t think I will be able to land a job as far as skillset, but I’m willing to learn )
    2
  591. Like the attitude.
    2
  592. I changed my career to coding at the age of 28.5, 2 years ago.
    2
  593. If you look at your last annual salary, you should have saved enough to easily live like a teacher in the USA, maybe for the next 10 years bro.
    2
  594. Good luck Philip!
    2
  595. Bro you Asian I’m guess your very smart you will do okay
    2
  596. You will be ok...
    2
  597. I've been a software developer for longer than you although I am about the same age. Just my 2 cents, do not take the layoff personally. It is not necessarily a sign that you did something wrong. I have seen many cases where the developers are used as scape goats by the manager if anything goes wrong.
    2
  598. Hey Phil, you ARE a star 🤣 and I hope one day your son will see that
    2
  599. Omg its chocolatw rain man

  600. @ I’m ok now. Yesterday I was still struggling….. Today I’m mostly recovered. Hopefully tomorrow will be a full recovery!

  609. Thanks for sharing your story! All the best in your job hunt.
    2
  610. so much inspiring, keeping it real, true and short, love from Nepal, just love you content. Also would love to see how to approach coding problems, prepare for interviews, a day as a software engineer and your desksetup in coming videos, sorry if this is too much to ask. Kudos to your new journey. Philippians: 4:4, 13, tough times create strong men.
    2
  611. I noticed this myself If I set a deadline to finish a task. I will probably finish it on or before 4 hours. If I don't I keep stretching the task. I was bit sick for past few days that's why didn't comment earlier, phil.
    2
  612. You asked what type of person I want to be. Well yesterday I got a gym membership for first time in years. I haven’t coded much this week. I’m using codecademy to teach myself. It’s all starting to click , but I am worried still about landing that first job. I’m unemployed and overweight. I’d like to be employed and Inshape. That’s who I’d like to be. Also I’m 1 week out of the hospital from last week. Still a little rattled but I’m recovering, and being able to sleep better now. Coding would be a great career for my health because even though I plan to go to the gym more, I still think the structure and just sitting working on something might help me stay focused in the long run instead of always being on the go. I do need a career and a job. I’ve been unemployed for over two years now and my family has been supporting me. I’d like to get a job and support myself. Btw I’m 33, I’m getting a bit old, but I think I still got a little time left
    2
  613. Bro, did you get a job again?
    2
  614. practicing for that day in the life vid, hell yeah
    2
  615. Having clear of what the end goal, regardless of how the journey will look like is crucial. Then having the discipline to keep being consistent like you said is difficult at times, but it is true, sometimes one has to take some time to realize how far one has gone and get a boost from that to keep going. We are all going to make it, there is no other option 🔥 P.s end goal is to become a great programmer. Utilizing those funds to invest, which will allow me to have finicial freedom.
    2
  616. Coding was hard for me even though I graduated in computer science and engineering. I had never written a single line of code by myself in my college days. Fast forward now I've been learning and building projects for close to 3 years to get a software engineering job. I think to become a developer 💻 you either really like coding or you need a strong motivation. For me motivation, coding wasn't my cup of tea for a very long time. But, I started learning to code, so I can provide financial support to my family which has really pushed me through lots of burned outs. For 2 fking years I couldn't understand anything and build anything on my own. Most People would have quit if they didn't even see results for 2 months. But I sticked through it. Which I'm little proud of. But, now I kinda really like coding and learning even more things. My goal is to get a job in US. Because of my English I feel really under confident, I learned all those grammar stuff a lot I mean a lot. It messed up my mind. But, I keep working on it and not gonna quit until I achieve my goal.
    2
  617. I felt inspired after watching you, i am learning to code after dropping out from med school
    2
  618. i think you should have tutorial about that git commands you did. it's too fast i wasn't keep up.
    2
  619. Awesome video, 🔥 cool watching y'all work together to figure out those little bumps.
    2
  620. Awesome stuff guys. I really like the perspective Minnie had about getting tired of building websites and how he learned a lot from coding this game. Something I could look into once I finish my bootcamp. Looking forward to coding some passion projects.
    2
  621. Thank you for the video and lesson! :)
    2
  622. can we call you PC by your initials?
    2
  623.  @letphil  you are doing very well creating these videos. If I can, I'd leave the suggestion to create playlists discriminating among topics. Outstanding work! Keep it going (indeed, I had to google for it 😄)!

  635. What would you recommend if I want to learn full-stack development? Should I start with Express or Nest.js? It's really hard to get started. Please help me choose between Express and Nest.js—what is more worth studying?"
    2
  636. 46:14 when you said you was turning off the program, how did you do that? im stuck
    2
  637. Pls zoom your window it's hard to see what are you writing
    2
  638. Thanks Phil! 👍🏾
    2
  639. that's fire, would be life changer if you make a full deployment for a scalable project where there's a traffic of millions of users. i still didn't find a full video explaining everything in YouTube
    2
  640. This is the kind of content I love! Thanks!
    2
  641. This is goated, I was looking for a decent deployment video 💯
    2
  642. is NPM Run Dev accepted to this? like, do this hosting have a terminal?
    2
  643. Nice and easy, did not take too much time either. Great stuff 🔥
    2
  644. 👍 AWS is my cloud of choice! Thanks for showing your process here!
    2
  645. I am also learning the FARM stack. Please teach me also
    2
  646. i will spend 3 hours in just trying to understand what the technical terms in wikipedia mean
    2
  647. i had no idea fast api generates documentation automatically. are there any other frameworks that do this?
    2
  648. I am the one still struggling while learning frameworks/library things than the language stuff lol. As for me i want to know deeply of how the framework works rather than using it and there are so many abstraction xD. Maybe i am a junior developer. (The one who is trying to understand how MUI was implemented and my brain is about to explode)
    2
  649. Let's go phil!!!!🔥
    2
  650.  @letphil  as starting point this function is awesome) it made look from different view on the way I create types on frontend from swagger. As an enhancement we could fetch let's say 10-20 items, a bit modify the func in order to be able handle the unions and adjust the result (if needed) manually
    2
  651. Looks great) But, sir, what if in response object there are union types? For example, a usual thing is to have avatar as null | string
    2
  652. There are json to typescript converters online. Why not just use that?
    2
  653. Indeed a gem 💎 I'm sure I'll use it in the future!
    2
  654. Waow This Is Really Cool, Okey My Brain Is A little Fried i Have No Idea Why Im Writing Like This, Wrote To Many Exception Lol. okey i stop now... This is really cool, dont get me wrong im def not excited working with json, i have just now started to just make basic crud, im in my 3 thrid semester and i have to play with api's, but i have started to program every day 2-5 hours a day learning alot ofc its hard 2 implement sometimes. but this video really takes into perspective how easy it can get working with json thank you coi fish just joking Mr. Phillip Choi.

  655. Putting this one in my back pocket, though my TS linter is going to throw an error guaranteed lol.

  660. I think the clones and all are great but I'm looking for something that will stand out and showcase my skills and creativity. Can you help me brainstorm some innovative ideas?
    2
  661. thank you
    2
  662. I love DBZ, it got my attention
    2
  663. Hi sir. I really enjoy your content and admire your journey. However, the frequent "No CS Degree" title that you put. While I agree that experience and practical knowledge are key, I feel that emphasizing this too much might mislead those who are just starting out. For many, a degree still provides valuable structure and credibility, and not everyone has the opportunity or desire to go the non-degree route. I think it's important to recognize that having a degree is not a guarantee of success, but it's also not something to devalue. It's often a result of personal circumstances, not just a piece of paper. Your success is inspiring, but it’s also important to acknowledge the value of formal education for those who choose that path or who had no choice but to follow their parents and get a degree (even without learning anything after).
    2
  664. Love your content I’m 31 and making a big life shift. The whole layoff and tech market becoming harder has me unsure of what kind of should do. I was looking into cybersecurity but also learning programming languages, love any advice. Ai and the layoffs worry me
    2
  665. Answer : Not wanting to be stressed an alcoholic . That's what coding jobs do to me . Also , even though I write a massive amount of code , pretty sure the way I write code would make me instantly un-hirable once a project manager took a look at my body of work . I firmly believe I know how to write maintainable software , but everyone else thinks I am crazy . I will be putting you on my list of tech youtubers I am keeping track of . -KanjiCoder
    2
  666. I've done nothing in the past 5 years of my life after graduation, which I regret every day. Now, I'm struggling in every aspect of my life. The only thing that has helped me forget that regret is coding. I know I'm that coding prodigy. But I didn't give up when things got tough. Coding actually tested my persistence. Everyone thinks I'm a loser who doesn't even have a job just sitting in front of his computer all day. I have controlled my brain to not care about anyone's opinion. I know I fked up my life, only I can fix that. Worrying or thinking about them won't change anything.

  672. Hey Philip , really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with more Quality Editing in your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail and also help you with the overall youtube strategy and growth ! Pls let me know what do you think ?
    2
  673. Good pointers! I'm sure we can take away a lot of knowledge from the JS course, and it's free 99🔥
    2
  674. I’ve been working as Fullstack & Frontend dev for 3.5 years now, and still feeling lacking in skills. Turned out the problem was because I have always hesitant to try new things except for the current tech I am using in my works, After seeing this video, I’ve decided to try building small projects that can be completed in 1-2 weeks and try out different things. Backend, frontend, mobile, ai, etc! Hopefully I can get to your productivity level by this end of 2024 & in 2025 🔥 Thank you for sharing your journey & being an inspiration 🫶🫶

  680. Phil, thanks for your content. I am a new sub and just commented on another more recent video you uploaded about being older haha or 31 and just starting out in the industry. My question is what would you recomend for earing while learining? how could one get some coin in their pocket to get by while learing and building a resume and or skill set? tyia

  691. Nice video bro very helpful ❤ I did one in python by seeing one of your videos a text to speech app used pyttsx3 and customtkinter to display the window (i know pretty small insignificant project) but loved the process 😊
    2
  692.  @Joshuahendrix  This is much appreciated! I might just try to learn react on Codecademy then next before I continue applying to entry level programmer jobs

  700.  @letphil  for sure thanks, too many Youtubers spamming the same scammy content 😂
    2
  701. I think the discord invite expired :(
    2
  702. Why don’t you start something new?
    2
  703. Philip i found your channel about three days ago, and everytime i think this guy cant get any cooler,you go on and prove me wrong. I have alot of self doubt when it comes to programming,im an "expert beginner" but your very inspiring, Thank you

  704. pain is weakness leaving the body

  705. Very important insight to understand about the human beings around us.
    2
  706. Thanks for sharing that dude. I'm in a similar spot myself, although I quit my job due to stress and frustration. I've been unemployed when I was younger but having a mortgage and bills makes it much more real. Like you said someone always has it worse, but that doesn't mean you're not in pain too. Wishing you all the best ❤
    2
  707. thank you so much for this realistic words, determination is the best tool we have at all
    2
  708. I am learning to program and ai automation for the side job. Can you tell me about a roadmap that covers a path?
    2
  709. you guys are uncomfident eternal students...
    2
  710. I graduated college, I've been interning with a company for 6 months now, trying my best to get a full-time, after 3 months they told me they did not have a position for me but if I wanted I could stay an extra 3 months in case something opens up, 6 months later, today, they rejected me after the first interview with HR, they said they want someone with more experience. On top of my bills I just started paying my student loans, I'm not sure what I should be working towards at this point
    2
  711. If you don’t give up and keep helping the people around you, and develop your skills, you will be okay. ✅ thanks for the comment
    2
  712. Let’s continue this path!
    2
  713. Bro I understand this pain really well. But we can only focus on the things we can control and that is leveling our skill and continue networking. Let's keep doing both of those everyday!
    2
  714.  @letphil  I don't know anything about code wars but I would go through it. My university folks use leetcode so I tried it a bit. Thank you so much 🙏
    2
  715. @letphil thank you so much . I'll grind leetcode.

  718. been laid for 1 year and that react course keeps stairing at me to complete it, i might have lost some confidence, any words of wisdom, can i still make it?
    2
  719. More than responsabilities to cover, I decided to learn everything I can about software development, even low-level coding. So, I started three years ago and I'm just surviving with dummy jobs (I'm over 30 hahaa). It;s hard, and I certainly have thought on quitting. But I got a big goal that could serve infinitely more than just spreading React apps all over the world. I won't decline even with A.I. taking jobs away because a goal is what really differentiates great people from those than go to work only. And more than ever, a strategy that takes into account global changes is required to make something worthy. But, hey.. who am I to tell you all to focus in giving an extra effort? It's not like the world is going to end any soon, right? haha
    2
  720. keep up the good work G. I'm a 23 year software engineer myself working at JIO BP, going through imposter syndrome. I have to make it to FAANG/big tech. hope everything works out ;-;

  721. Talking about exposure therapy with those errors Phil, so true 🤣 Putting in the time is absolutely needed. One thing I'm grateful to have learned early is that your 10,000 hours is not the same as someone elses 10,000. It's not something I've fully adopted yet but I'm working on it every day. As long as I stay consistent, I'll continue to get better and land that job 👍"Comparison is the thief of joy" - Theodore Roosevelt

  723. Can I still start a coding journey after 33? Im good at basic DSA and Rust. Im already working as a Data Eng but I want to get into developer roles. DO you think is it possible?

  725. Hey man, I’m from the Philippines. I recently stumbled upon your video yesterday, and I just want to say your content is really good. Keep up the great work, mate! I’m also studying coding, but with the help of AI xd. (20 years old)

  760. Can you mentor me too bro? I’m learning js for a few months now while driving a lorry 60hrs a week, I’m starting to build some apps now and would love some mentoring on node, let’s connect on discord etc, I’d appreciate even a small code review if mentoring isn’t an option 💪
    2
  761. Came across your youtube videos. First of all , keep pushing im sure you will succeed. I am interested in being mentored. I completed a full stack web development boot camp. which gave me clarity on how to start, but I think I need to fill in some gaps. If youre willing to provide mentorship, i would appreciate it alot.
    2
  762. Hey, I want to become a software developer. I am almost done with my degree in information technology. Would it be beneficial to do a BootCamp after my coursework is done and get help from professionals within the BootCamp to help me secure a job, or are there other ways to ensure a developer job post-graduation? I am about to start applying like crazy right now, even while I am still in school, but if you know of a way to land a job as soon as possible, I would greatly appreciate the assistance or advice. I am beginner - moderately skilled in computer languages such as C, C++, JS, Java, and Python. Thanks.

  764. Because self branding and entrepreneurship is how you become financially free, not working a 9-5. He could easily keep this up and start selling his expertise and knowledge. From that he can easily start building business models around his knowledge and add another 50k/m profit and never have to work a job again.

  797. Hey phillip , really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with more Quality Editing in your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail and also help you with the overall youtube strategy and growth ! Pls let me know what do you think ?
    2
  798. Great Video Phil! I really like the concept of how you modularized the app. I didn't see any unit or end to end tests. What are your thoughts on testing ? I personally hate them, but they are required in most companies. Also, I'd like to hear about how you narrowed the span between learning a new api and the implementation on an app. Thanks! This is coming from a developer that learned at 48 and eventually made it to a big company. Still hard, still learning.

  799. Awesome work

  825. Imposter syndrome hits hard even before working professionally. Having confidence in the work you’re putting in to learn these new concepts and apply them is so important, but it’s a balance to not be too overly confident that you’re not capable of taking feedback. Great perspective Phil.

  834. Hey, im a first year student and im planning to get an internship on my 3rd year. Rn im planning to finish cs50 on my first year and then choose what to study deeper on my 2nd year. Do you think this is a good idea ? My major is computer network. Any advice or tips for college is greatly appreciated!

  835. I am working on one rn

  837. Thanks makes sense

  838. ❤
    2
  839. Can you do a road map of how you learn how to code and what you recommend from scratch
    2
  840. Hope the mentorship goes well!
    2
  841.  @letphil  are you going to make videos for coding from the ground up?
    2
  842. I’m watching and want to learn more about the coding You’re doing great brotha!
    2
  843.  @letphil lmaooo it’s a competition now 😂
    2
  844. At first learn from chat gpt later don't use much chat gpt.

  851.  @letphil  good ,so good

  852. unrelated but the keyboard sound tickles something in my brain phil

  853. thank you for your comment. the vscode theme is arbiter by wonderpanda
    2
  854. hi Philip, do you have any beginner projects that you would recommend for learning JS?
    2
  855. Yo bro am putting this on saved playlist, to watch tonight, i am tasked to write about 6 functions, and i have to test them with jest, started working on this yesterday at 8 in the mrorning up until 22:00 still no progress. My test are are failing coz of a missing script. I am going to watch this tonight and other youtube vids to solve this interesting task 😂 At first i was i using AI for my code but then something hit me, why sacrifice this much time dedicated to learning if you are cheating. Now, i dont wanna lie as much am struggling i am enjoying the struggle, i ronically i get disspointed when i get something right on one try. NO AI WILL WRITE MY CODE. thats my policy now when coding.
    2
  856. Very cool content! awesome!
    2
  857. The startup that i work.in do not even care about tests and documenting broo I didn't know this was what i have been missing, it really sucks to meet up with their deadlines if i try to do it
    2
  858. Coding saves lives!!!
    2
  859. I use it to understand my code and fix wrong parts i'm stuck. One thing I do that seems to help a lot is try to rewrite everything again without help.
    2
  860. When i started i used gpt to learn but ive recently been trying not to use it unless i dont know how to do something, ngl its tough trying to get rid of the dependancy but its going
    2
  861. Ok, adding test to my learning list
    2
  862. Instead of `npm install -D` you can also run `npm i -D`, and instead of `npm run test` you can run `npm t`. Saves a few more chars. 😁
    2
  863. I’m in college and use chat gpt when I can’t figure it oh and then really try to understand how chatgpt solved it instead of just cheating
    2
  864. I have a question what math do i need in programming?
    2
  865. Isnt writing code extremely boring and frustrating? Ive been doing it for 8 years and i hate it
    2
  866. Thanks for this video brother most dear ❤

  867. "Hello brother, I am from India and I am working on creating a website. Can you help me develop an app for it? TThe website is very small, so it shouldn't take too much time, Iam currently in my second year of college and i know full stack development".
    2
  868. Recently I got an internship in a non-tech company and to my surprise we are the first 4 interns from IT background and they gave separate projects to all. They think that creating a web app is an easy task and told me to do it quickly. Without any guidance or any senior developer it is really difficult for me. Your videos motivate me in this situation.
    2
  869. Thank you❤
    2
  870. Really great and useful information Phil. Going to be relevant for me as I’ll be nearing the end of my bootcamp similar to you at 30 years old haha. One thing you could make a video on is your process for finding relevant information for when you get stuck during the actual coding. I find myself missing seemingly obvious stack overflow or GitHub issues posts regarding my issue when I ask my tutor/mentor for help. I consider myself well adjusted to googling things but maybe I’m missing certain keywords or places to look when trying to find coding solutions. Thank you 👍

  874. Good things to think about , awesome video
    2
  875. Hey man, keep up the good work. However one thing that caught my eye is the API design and specifically your URLs. By introducing suffixes like /update-task/:taskId, /delete-task/:task-id, you are basically showing that you are not leveraging HTTP methods to their potential. You already know from the HTTP method what is going to happen. Your API will not only become cleaner but also navigating through the API will be easier. Basic example: GET /todos/get-tasks -> GET /todos POST /todos/add-task -> POST /todos PUT /todos/update-task/:taskId -> PUT /todos/:taskId

  876. I've been trying to find out for the longest.. whats the vscode color theme you use in all your videos? :D

    2
  884. Do you think you could make a video on good practices when creating/managing a project that will be shared with a team. Such as like going about setting up and keeping track of requirements.txt, local libraries, and other necessary things like that?
    2
  885. good insight, i probably should take more time in doing readme. thanks a lot
    2
  886. This file is also the most underrated file as a developer I believe.
    2
  887. I'm glad I have had my bootcamp mentor/tutors say the same about the importance of README's. Amazing tip to include the node version and/or specific package installer. I have included it in some of my README's but not all of them. Will be good to go back and review all my README's. Question: I've catered my README's towards recruiters/hiring to include things like user stories and features. Imo they look good but I worry they might be too wordy. Would it be better in your opinion to keep it easier to read or more dry with the barebone essentials?
    2
  888. Totally jealous of your lifestyle!

  916. always making awesome content!

  917. It's an easy language tho
    2
  918. Part 2 please!!! This was very informational, great job guys. Doing some research into general interview prep goes a long way to improving your interview skills. Without even getting into the technical topics, it helps to just breathe and listen. Slow It Down. A lot of people use filler words when they're nervous, I know I do. I found that recording myself answering common interview questions was a great way to calm down those nerves and get good practice in. Really focus on being comfortable with silence while you're thinking. It will always sound better than an "umm", "uhh", or rambling. My favorite tip from the video: Dive deep into your go-to answer for the "tell me about a time you had a problem within your code.." Give as much detail as possible, may be worth while to go back to it and refresh yourself before an interview on the intricate technical details.
    2
  919. for me this bro is like the "Han Leu" of coding... cool, composed and skilled thanks so much bro 🤍

  922. W video Phil!!

  923. Your balance is totally off, every time you throw a punch you lose your balance. You always need to be on the ball of your foot. When transferring weight to other foot you need to push off the ball of the foot almost like you are about to jump with one foot. When throwing jab have like 70% of weight on front foot and transfer it to back foot, shoulder goes out first with help of clavicle then goes elbow contract your first only on impact. I feel like you trying to mimic Canelo but please start with fundamentals then when your good with fundamentals find your own style. Keep up the work.

    2
  932. you should try c++ or c. It’s completely different compared to js.
    2
  933. Good stuff Phil. Taking care of your code, making it look clean/presentable, makes me think of when one does their bed first thing in the morning lol. Gotta start with the right foot and set the tone for the rest to come.

  937. I reckon a more in-depth telling of your education and career path up until now would be very interesting and valuable. Plenty of people in the position that you were in a couple of years ago. It'd be interesting to hear the perspective of someone who did it relatively recently. Keep it up and good luck with the job search 👍

  952. What do you think? I am(😉)working on a multipage website, almost like Product Hunt, using Next.js, Prisma, Neon, TypeScript, and so on. It is about 75% complete, and I don’t know much except for just pasting the errors into Claude to make it move. But by doing that, I am learning a little, like the file structure and some basic things. It seems really interesting. Should I start learning basic HTML, or is it okay to move on to other projects like this once I complete this one? Just copy-pasting and repeating might help me learn.

  960. Hello i wanna ask if an IT degree is still worth it nowadays? Im gonna be a 1st year college student and im not so sure if pursuing this course is still worth it considering with the ton of laid offs....
    2
  961. Hey cool video ,buy is it worth to pursue full stack in 2024? I'm a beginner and I'm confused on which career to pursue.
    2
  962. Always looked for answers. Most recent ones I have are on human consciousness, in 10 15 30 years I wanna be able to build neural networks and put my theories into practice. Apparently there are quantum effects playing maybe some role around neural activity, would be sick to be able to simulate that with code!

  983. You know Phil, thanks men. Enlighten us with your journey makes us feel we're not alone. Still struggling on being a dev, but this video pulls my psychology in abyss on why I am also hungry to be a developer.

  986. Currently I'am learning more of the MERN stack since I have got back into coding after years of setting it to the side. I have tried LAMP and MEAN but has been quite awhile. Very glad I came across your channel and it has helped re-inspire me. Thank you for being you sir.
    2
  987. I’m currently learning MERN on the one of the bootcamp but I want to explore Python after graduation and I don’t know if I can learn them online free or I have to pay for some bootcamp courses to learn them.
    2
  988. My stack is MERN (Some what I'm good at it). Also, exploring Next.js. Might learn go and python. After that React Native. Then rust 🦀 in the future. Lot to learn.

  992. I need advice. I have a CS degree and I've been upskilling for almost a year and I can comfortably build any CRUD app. Then I started applying to jobs for months while upskilling and building portfolio projects, I was able to pass one coding exam it was a simple crud, but i got ghosted and I can probably pass another one easily. But im getting very few interviews, last month i got two and none this month. I have followed good resume advice and even my github and linked in is polished. My question is, how do I know when to quit? Im willing to sacrifice a year more if it means my chances increase every day, but i feel like everyday my chances just lower and lower even if I keep upskilling and applying. Its killing me grinding everyday and not knowing if I still have a chance or am I just wasting my time.

  1012. Wish I didnt waste time learning software development and computer science in general. I feel so hopeless. Someone just got hired because its a "woman" and yet I am the one who referred her and she had no prior software development experience except just finishing a bootcamp for a few months. Im hopeless at this point, broke andI am this close to crashing out. Just turned 23 and I feel like Im getting to old for this. Worst of all, Im from Uganda. Of all countries, I spawned in Uganda.

  1043. While you can shoehorn the reduce function to do a wide variety of things, from my naive perspective this is incorrect usage of the function. The reduce operation should be reducing the entity generally down to a single thing (e.g. generating the sum of the array). Put another way, the accumulator shouldn't be a growing list. So yes, this code is technically correct however ,I'd personally make your viewers aware of this improper use of reduce wouldn't fly in a production. The code would be simpler just by using forEach instead.

  1047. You're SO right! I've 10x developed TWO apps that got accepted by Apple (KeyPop & AppBoy) and if I dare share a sneak peak of a new feature or what have you... Since it's not a video game, none of my subscribers give a fuck lol OR rather, the algorithm will not serve it to them BECAUSE it's not Red Dead Online. I even catch shit from the little kids who miss the video game videos. Which is hilarious. I am 100 time more proud of my apps than any fucking bubble gum comic strip throw away entertainment.

  1056. Its like a whole bunch of information at the beginning, but actually taking the time to understand what you're coding, really boosts your skills. It does take a lot of time at first, however it'll be worth it at the end once your brain recognizes what's going on the next time you code. Then one gets faster slowly but surely. Awesome video 🔥

  1084. ​ @letphil You're welcome, sir. I'm still young now. When I first began my self-discovery journey this year, life felt ambiguous, but my inner voice always said that I could find a way from what I actually liked because everything was already in front of me and connected. Maybe I just didn't realize I closed my heart and mind. And that's true, really. I watch anime>>I learn languages>> and now I am interested to learn about deep learning and AI that ironically, when I was in school, I didn't like something math-related at all. I see and can appreciate the beauty from tough times and the ambiguity from each difficulty I encounter each time I learn. It's worth it
