  1. I got into coding because my previous career was stressful, crazy amounts of OT, high liability, dangerous, and little to no upward mobility. After doing a job where you average 14-16 hour work days, and days off in the middle of the week. A mon-friday 9 to 5 is a vacation. And the fact i make the same amount of money while having a better worklife balance is just a perk. Dont do it just for the money, do it for your sanity

  3. the course looks nice, unfortunately i already know most of these algorythms i was hoping you would get into Hashtables in Depth as well as graph theory beyond basic trees. I do enjoy the presentation of the course. You explain things very clearly and i hope you sell enough courses to make more! keep up the good work!

  5.  @Ehryyyyuuy  i feel you, hope you can find something that fits your needs. i was lucky to have a supporting family that allowed me to experiment until i found something i liked. it was less money during the transition but once i found what i loved doing it made it all worth it. code is not the only job out there, there is project management too, which requires organization and office skills and no coding at all. look into that if it interests you is way shorter to learn then programing

  6. I have had the opportunity to use windows, Linux, and MacOS for development and they all do the job. Dont be a fanboy use whichever to get the job done.

  7. UPER process helps me. Understand: what is being asked? ask clarifying questions, understand what the expected output is. Plan: develop a few approaches to a solution. doesn't have to be the most efficient solution, but have multiple approaches. Excecute: implement the quickest solution (not the most efficient but the fastest you can type). Review: make sure you review your code and identify ways to improve the first solution.

  8. The job search made me cry everyday, i love to code and i felt i knew enough to get started but my job search took me 6 months. If i had kids or other responsibilities i would have quit looking for a job and quit tech. But im grateful i found a good company that i see myself growing into

  9.  @calvinripley9093  that was the same mentality i had when i chosed i major in 2012, i didnt do Computer science because i though site build tool and social media platforms would eliminate the need for developers and engineers. and im kicking myself to this day. ChatGPT is awesome and it will help reduced the work needed to get stuff done. but we are nowhere close to replacing software engineering. at least not yet. software engineering goes much deeper. i learned that after years of messing around. choose CS if it interest you but we are nowhere closed to being replaced by AI.

  10.  @zayn6725  it depends on where you live. for me in my previous job as a corrections officer i had a salary of 40k plus overtime. with overtime i made 65k per year. two years after i resigned, i landed my first tech job and i got a salary of 60k plus bonuses. and that was my first job in a small city in the US. im on my second Job as a softwsre engineer and i make more than that. its still hard, im constantly learning. working with really smart people, and overall i have less stress
