Thank you for your beneficial channel. I am looking into entering the IT world, however I am not sure which path to route and was wondering if you would give me some tips on how to decide. I have a degree in Interior Design, and I have interest in topping up my qualifications to Masters hence I am thinking of IT. I am watching various CZcams videos to gain knowledge of the field, and this is how I found your channel. Your time and help are very much appreciated.
Are you from Syria? I used to work with a dentist from Syria and his accent was exactly like yours. Pretty cool 👌
I think today young people are expecting too much from their jobs. At the end of the day it is simply your duty to fulfill. If you have a young family to bring up that is enough in itself to occupy a lot of your time. All the workplace socializing is more for the single people. People need to downsize their expectations, and concentrate on what is most important. You can't just keep changing your life plans because your mood has changed.
AI will never replace programmers; it'll just make them a very cheap commodity.
it's so scary these 2 years, all the layoffs in SWE and all the people couldn't find jobs on the market and all the big tech telling people there's more and more layoffs coming in order to gain efficiency. 0.0 this field has changed from something like a dream to just anxiety inducing daymare.....
Beautiful software developer ever seen! I still remember old days when you were starting your coding journey by joining some coding bootcamp. And now you are applying for senior software developer roles. Kudos! All the best for interviews. I've also taken admission in Masters in computer science in India. Cheers 🥂❤🎉
Sweet but still couldn’t able to accept/digest that you have kid ! All the best ❤
Thank you for the kind words
When people are commenting gloomily that AI is going to ruin our lives, make us dumber and take our jobs away, I always say that it will only help intelligent and talented people become even more intelligent and creative, and will spare more time for those who live off tedious monotonous jobs to switch to smth that will provide personal and professional growth. I want to believe that AI will never fully replace real human interaction, given our deep evolutionary nature of being social creatures. That’s why I am currently trying to transition from a web-development role to SEM or TPM roles; and in the meantime spending some time learning generative AI and ML concepts and essentials to understand if I feel comfortable to dive deeper into this realm of immense rapidly evolving knowledge.
😊 Caught an unexpected tiny glimpse of the Ukrainian culture/symbolism in your footage, that was most likely used accidentally, without any ulterior motive. 🙂
Glad that someone is paying attention to tiny details 😉
Layoffs and a difficult job market was expected since early 2022 when the Federal Reserve started raising rates in March 2022 from 0.25% gradually to 5.25% in October 2023. There's usually a 12-18 month rolling lag period from the onset of Fed monetary policy changes to when the effects of those changes begin to hit the real "Main Street" economy. That's why big layoffs accelerated the past 9 months. By raising rates to 5+% after 11+ years of zero or near-zero interest rates (ZIRP) and started reducing their balance sheet which drains money from the economy, they essentially took away the punch bowl and said "party over" - the past decade of cheap/easy money was an artificial bull run in terms of financial history/norms. Companies that borrowed at cheaper rates are now underwater and need to cut costs. Lots of zombie companies and degeneracy proliferating in this low rates decade are now going out of business. Fewer startups reaching Series A. The era of cheap lending rates is over for now meaning corps can no longer borrow billions at 0.25% which forces them to exercise discipline and care in choosing their investments and outlays.Unemployment rises, vicious cycle ensues. Additionally we've now been in an economic WW3 for over 2 years. Keywords: BRICS, SGE, Comex, LBMA, fiscal dominance, SOFR, LIBOR, sanctions, 4th Turning Unfortunately we live in interesting times.

Creativity is overrated. It's merely a random seeding in the morphological box optimisation problem. LLMs can hallucinate, and it replaces creativity perfectly.
That is an interesting controversial take.
I've never met a smart person that was NOT creative and/or valued creativity. You sound like you lack creativity, but deem yourself an """intellectual"""
@@HiroProtagonistCIC you clearly have no understanding whatsoever of what creativity is, and what intelligence is, including the definition of being smart. Once again: creativity only role is random-seeding the search in the morphological box. And LLMs are just as good as the most creative humans in this - they can hallucinate, and it's a sufficient level of randomness to get you out of local minima. You're obviously not very sharp, so you're unlikely to have any experience in using any of the classic mind performance tricks (e.g., the Random Seeding or Dream Dipping tools). I recommend you to try, it'll open your eyes on a true nature of creativity.
@@HolisticDeveloper not even that controversial - the random seeding role of creativity is well known and deeply embedded in the engineering culture. Even the brainstorming method is nothing but embracing the random seeding feature. Once you start thinking of all your problems in terms of morphological box - i.e., a multi-dimensional constraint formulation, where anything withing this constraint is a valid solution, and finding such a solution is a minimisation problem, all you need is finding good starting points that won't lead you into local minima outside of the constraint boundaries.
@@vitalyl1327 "random seeding the search in the morphological box" you've really become attached to that phrase. Unfortunate you let whatever pseudo-intellectual blog post or book robbed your mind of it's creative potential before you encountered it. Best of luck to you and whatever AI model you latch onto like a parasite to it's data-scrapped hallucinations.
Thank you so much for your positif reassuring and valuable opinion, and thanks for the shout lol, 'btw inconnu is just unknown in french xD', we humans tend to fear what we don't understand and what we don't know, but we forget that god gave us all we need to adapt to new situations and new challenges, i guess we just need to focus on the kaisen principle 'continious learning' , as an idea of a video please share with us some concepts of 'side hustles' projects that a software engeneer can do to make some income. Kind regards
Hello, thank you for making this video - It really resonated with me! I am a newly graduated student from a Masters of Engineering, Artificial Intelligence program in the U.S. Prior to this, I had worked professionally as a web developer for over twenty years. Two years ago I decided to retrain, so I'm "all in" for AI. At the same time, there is widespread misunderstanding of what AI and ML are, and what it is capable of doing. Your channel helps remind people of how different we humans are from technology, and especially newer technology like AI and ML. If we software engineers are motivated and focused, I believe we can adapt and thrive! Subscribed!
Wow, thanks so much for your amazing message! I’m really happy to hear that the video resonated with you. Big congratulations on graduating with your Master’s in Engineering, Artificial Intelligence! 🎓 That’s such an incredible achievement, especially after a long career as a web developer. It’s awesome to see someone with your experience diving headfirst into AI. You’re totally right-there’s a lot of confusion out there about what AI and ML actually are and what they can do. I’m glad that HD channel can help clear some of that up and remind everyone just how unique and valuable we humans are, even in the age of advanced tech like AI and ML. Your positive outlook on the future is super inspiring. I completely agree-if we stay motivated and focused, we can absolutely adapt and thrive alongside these new technologies. Keep going strong, and I’m sure you’ll continue to do amazing things in the AI world! Thanks again for sharing your story and for being a part of our community. Your journey is a fantastic reminder of how important it is to keep learning and adapting in our ever-changing field.
How do you prepare for the AI driven future?
Thanks for your reviews l am planning to join in App bootcamp next month, since l like coding and out of budget. l will join it 😂 and bay letter Thanks for your reviews l am planning to join in App bootcamp next month, since l like coding and out of budget. l will join it 😂 and pay latter
I swear in one of your videos I thought I remembered you saying you lived in England or something, so imagine my confusion when in the first shot every driveway has a big-ass American truck in the driveway lol
That is interesting. I have never been to England however I would love to visit some time in the future.
@@HolisticDeveloper I have no idea where I got that idea from, but similarly, I'd love to spend a few years in England and live life there. We can dream, eh?
Dreams keep us going 😅
This entire week waiting for an SSD and remembering concepts before sleep. I think I have a problem…

Pretty good video, unfortunately type A personality. It is my nature to overdo things. But I am gradually trying to teach myself to take breaks. I tend to feel very guilty when I take a break. But for me that goes for everything that I do. Excellent video.
Thank you so much for your comment! I totally get where you're coming from. As a fellow type A personality, it can be super challenging to take breaks without feeling guilty. But it's awesome that you're trying to teach yourself to take breaks. It's really important for your overall well-being and productivity. Keep reminding yourself that taking breaks is a part of the process and helps you in the long run. You're doing great, and it's inspiring to see you working on finding that balance. Keep it up!
I think this advice really depends on the type of person you are. There are many tiers of skilled people, from the ones who do it for their job, to the ones who are passionate about it. I suppose the advice is for the former. I remember as a kid I would come back from school and just code all day. Not because I was forced to but because I wanted to. It never crossed my mind that I should take a rest because I was never tired. If I was blocked I would just code something else. Maybe the fundamental issue here is whether *other* people will think you’re not a *real* programmer if you’re en eng. Manager or whatever your situation in which you can’t code the majority of your working time. To that I would say the most important thing is how you feel, not what other people think about you. If you can solve hard problems with code then you’re a coder simple as that.
Thank you for sharing your perspective! You're absolutely right that the advice really depends on the type of person you are. There are definitely different tiers of skilled people, from those who code just for their job to those who are truly passionate about it. If you can solve hard problems with code, then you’re a coder, plain and simple. It’s about the quality and impact of your work, not the quantity of hours you spend coding. Your passion and ability to solve problems are what truly define you as a programmer.
so attractive! keep on doing
i do not code everyday ....to be honest my love for coding died after working in the corporate world...i just do it 9-5 and that i found was enough to make my skills better
Thanks for sharing your experience! I totally get it-working in the corporate world can sometimes make coding feel like a chore. Honestly, I went through a similar phase. I found that coding every day wasn't necessary to stay sharp and improve my skills. My 9-5 was enough. One thing that really helped me fall back in love with coding was starting a small, personal project that I was genuinely excited about. For me currently its building a social trip planner with a group of colleagues, but it could be anything that interests you-a personal website, a fun app, or even automating something in your daily life. Working on something just for the fun of it can remind you of the creativity and joy coding can bring. You're doing great, and it's all about finding what reignites that spark for you. Keep coding!
That's really right , best skill now for humans after Ai tools is a creativity
Hard skills can be easily tough and even have AI do it, however the soft skills where the most values is when paired with hard skills, which it's hard automate.
@@HolisticDeveloper Yes , 100% agree with it so keep going
sometimes i found the solutions while i sleep xD
Isn't that the best 😅?
@@HolisticDeveloper Can you do a video about what you think will happen in the IT market in the near future, with all this scary AI tools that is coming out
@@inconnumj4692 great suggestion. 👍
Did you ever felt stressed about not programming enough?
At this point I'm starting to think it might actually just be better for me to go to a Computer Science community college course or something, almost every "boot camp" seems to have only horror stories associated with it. For what they're charging, it's kind of nerve wracking.
I do not want to discourage going to a Bootcamp, because they have their place. What I am trying to convey is do your due diligence, know what you are paying for, then compare with other options that will get you to your results, see what is the effort, resources, timeline, cost etc and see what suits you best.
I have been following your channel since the beginning years ago. Im a software engineer with 9 year backend and big data experience I just started a new job in January 2024 and it was a complete mess, contractors who where keeping the lights on laid off, principal engineer being fired for saying how it is, drama etc so I quit sold some crypto and going to travel for 1 year hopefully the job market is better than The job market with drama, layoffs, toxic environments etc is crazy right now
I am sorry to read that you had to experience this toxicity. I hope that you get an amazing year and recharge. Thank you for sharing
I can relate since i'm at a similar cross section of my life. If you can afford to do so, take some time off. Relax the 'busy mind' and focus on what you really miss about your job. Do a personal project as suggested to sharpen your skills and see if that's really what you like. Maybe this even gives you the time and opportunity to find a job that enables both options? Good luck !
You're are right. Actually, I committed to a 60-day hackathon to build a product in a new tech stack. Honestly, there is a roller-coaster of emotions. However, when I was able to complete my first coding ticket, I felt amazing. How about you? You mentioned you are in a similar situation. I hope to you are referring to wondering about what you would like to do next and not the layoff part.
Glad to hear from you as we haven’t for a while. In your case I would immediately get what I can and in your case managing role. Then I would take some time on the side for next couple of months and write some code and see if you like it more. At that time you will probably know yourself what do you really want.
That is a safe and probably more responsible way of doing it. Having a job then getting the necessary refreshing practice. Thank you for the suggestion.
Thanks for letting us in on your thoughts Anna! Your situation is a tough decision for sure, I'm just glad that your are sought after in industry and are not forced into a direction you don't want to go in. Personally I think management will always be available for you but if it's engineering you want, don't wait too long before you go back to IC. Continue to stay sharp in your skills and yeah pick up some new ones! Cheers and good luck!!
@nontraditionaltech2073 firstly thank you so much for watching and secondly for carrying. I think you are right, and you see where my heart is. A group of us decided to work on a product for the next 60 days. First, I felt like an impostor, only 60 days to make it and ship it, and I have not coded (truly coded) for a while. Plus, it is a new tech stack... honestly, I was afraid, then I decided to give it a try. Long story short since it is a new tech stack for the group we were working on trying to connect the app to the database and it did not work, we used the documentation, chatgbt etc nothing worked. Then, at night, when it was quiet ( my family asleep), I put on some music, and I started to work, trying my best to it work. Well. I GOT IT TO WORK🤩🥳. I was so happy and I remembered so well why I got into programming. Thank you. Your support means a lot.
@@HolisticDeveloper for sure!! Learning a new stack is no joke! I’m currently feeling that pain, I’ve been learning Matlab on the job. It is not easy but I enjoy it! I had to move on from a personal project b/c of DB integration. My data sources were in SQLite but I wanted my DB to be SQL Server. Too expensive for the little time I have, I’m out lol
@nontraditionaltech2073 yeah it is a pain because our brain resists what is new and it "lazy" wanting to do what it knows 😅
Thanks for sharing! very interesting thoughts. Hard to predict the job market right now.
Agreed!
How long does it take to say "I quit because I wanted to learn something, and we were short on projects"
Like with everything in software engineering. Yes, I can be 10 seconds to say exactly what you said however your if want to provide a bit more context, then you take a bit more time to elaborate.
@@HolisticDeveloper Nice to hear from you again ... Time to get back on track ... With tools like GitHub co pilot you will gain your previous productivity levels and even surpass it in no time ... Let me know what you think ...
I am also started evening shift 4pm to 1am, any tips to maintain work-life?
First of all, I hope this is a temporary schedule. However, you need to set yourself for success and respect you and the schedule. You will have the same amount of hour in the day it just how you use it might have to shift. Make sure you know what are your priorities and ensure you make the necessary arrangements for them and then work backwards from .
This is extremely helpful, i have my 4 interviews in a week. I wasn't yet told what is the exact format and had no idea what to expect, Ill do my best to cover all the areas you have mentioned, THANK YOU!
How was your interview. Please tell you got an offer.

Wishing to save a smooth interview loop. Let me know how your interview goes. Cheers!
Scrum snd this whole sprint concept made me go burnout. I need some alternatives
Freelance maybe?
@@tacorevenge87 its the same. As long as projects have scrum and an overwhelming amount of job, it doesn’t matter.
@@kayser1722 yeah fair enough. What about creating your own SaaS product?
Doing the same thing over over can lead to undesirable consequences. Is there any chance you can try a different method for a bit and see how it goes?
It is really nice to see you. Happy New Year 🎊
Good to be seen 😅. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
greet tools , do you have planes for 2024 for HOlistic DeveloperChanal?? , i am waiting for new educational and motivational videos.
What would you like to see?
What is your favorite tech lineup?
The first time you complete a task in 2 weeks, they say "Oh Yalcin, that is great. This task generally takes 3 weeks." After some time you are given a similar task but this time you may not deliver it in 2 weeks. They will question "Hey dude, you still didn't deliver it. Be quicker please". So, even if you have close relationships with your employer, you are still a tool to them to make money. They will try to utilize you as much as possible. They don't care about your personal development, mental situation etc. most of the times. The only criteria to stay some where: Are you happy or not? If you are not happy, will you be able to support yourself financially for some time if you quit? Every developer should analyze their own situation and make a decision. Don't make it complex.
I left software as well. After having worked for a variety of MNCs as a cloud engineer such as IBM, amazon etc im exhausted and perpelxed by how annoyed i am at fhe system ! Its really draining dull and too grey for me. Im 27 years old and have decided to quit IT to become a pilot. Lifes too short
The job is very complex very hard and you need to do and know a million thing.. Some people answer phone calls and do some paper work and get paid almost the same salary..
I heard something that I liked today from one of the @ThePrimeagen shorts, and it goes something like: There are people who say programming is easy, and not true programming is simple but not easy. Simple and easy are completely different things
I know! Right lol
I quit from Data Engineering to a State employee. The toxic environment, death lines, stress and continous learning destroyed my mental health.
I feel you mate. Money isn’t everything at the end of the day
How are you doing? I hope that you had the time and opportunity to recover. What did you decide to do?
for real
So tru😂e
Me every time my mom says I have to take a bath:
