The studying in the morning advice is super important, mostly for people who have jobs, kids, responsibilities in general that leave you exhausted at the end of the day. Studying while tired absolutely does not work. I started doing that too, waking up at least three hours before everyone else at home woke up (around 5 am) just so I could code and study as the first task of the day, and I became so much more productive because I could start well-rested and spend all that fresh energy in coding and studying instead of spending it in other things. Totally recommended.
True……I got a CS degree and it was ultra hard to focus while working full-time! Nearly impossible to focus after exhausting physical labor…….sometimes had to nap to regain energy not to mention preparing meals and working out too. Have to be smart when you study, it’s best to learn dense, technical stuff when you have the most energy.
I love hearing Ana's struggle with feeling overwhelmed. I feel like there's so much and I'm in over my head, feels good to know more people feel that way but are successful in the end.
Hi Miguel! I’m happy to hear you found some solace in me sharing my struggles. Taking small steps when the road ahead seems long and difficult really helps me overcome the times I feel overwhelmed. I wish you the best of luck in your journey!
Thats something I'm trying to make sure I keep in my mind as I start. Its gonna be a long and stressful journey but as long as I stick with it, it will be more than worth it in the long run.
@@user-ck8kp8vb4l It's pretty isolating though. I'm black and don't want to be seen as "that black coder" in a company to increase diversity. I just want to be judged based on my skills and knowledge of knowing how to build applications!
@@thelonercoder5816 Oh no surely not. I don't wouldn't want to be seen as "that gay coder" either. It's defiantly more important to just hire people based of skill, and the concept of people hiring me just to make them look good sickens me.
you all probably dont care but does anyone know a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me.
I love all of them, but man, Ms. Ana is good at expressing that feeling where you dont know how to start being a programmer, thankyou for this i cant express my feelings exactly because english is not my first language but thankyou! Specialy to Ms. Ana
Thank you for this! I'm a recent graduate in a time of a pandemic, where hiring is scarce/difficult. I got inspired by a woman who was an artist and also a developer. So this is really a God-send video!
So glad that this video has found you, Nicole! I'll be doing some virtual coffees/ networking calls next month where you can meet so many awesome women like you and share experiences 😊 find me on Instagram to stay updated!
I really love the concise compilation and how these ladies really highlight the fact that it's never really easy to start - even though people usually try to act like it is IRL
I'm in a bootcamp they are focus on to teach us how to learn because you always have to be upgrade, this is my second week, I'm learning to be patient to work in teams, and It's free, I am thankful.
Thank you for this! I’ve just started a bootcamp in front end dev and am quite nervous and excited, all at the same time! I’m a mother of two kids and I live in Shanghai and also have a job. This video, just added that dash of motivation that I needed 🥂
Love you for this video. Currently taking online bootcamps. Just got out of career and course I hated and Im taking matters into my own hands. Such an informative video. Thanks x Edit: The best aspect of this video is that all the women are from different races and background. I was often deterred away from this industry because of my skin tone by my peers. This is inspiring !
Currently 24, been doing android dev since 2016, taking it more seriously recently as I am preparing to look for jobs. Planning on immersing myself for a few weeks and crank out a couple of decent apps with the popular technologies the companies are looking for
i spent too much effort reading coding books cover to cover. i should have jumped into basic projects sooner. i probably would do a bootcamp if i could go back in time.
@@user-ng9dr1sk1p there is so much stuff out there to learn that a bootcamp will help you stayed focused on the important stuff. you can do it on your own. i did. but then it is up to you to try to sort the essential from the stuff you will hardly use. also because a bootcamp is scheduled, i suspect more people would follow through. on your own, you really need to be self motivated and disciplined to stay on task.
Nice, thanks for the video! I'm learning Python, hoping to get into ML. I have different problems than these ladies. I had my perfect plan since the very beginning. However, I tend to procrastinate... not learning enough hours per day... Already got the basics in Python though. Probably is best to try to first get a junior Python dev job, and then continue learning ML. I need to finish my site and add some projects on it (it's from template). Before that, I'll still do 1 more course on Udemy, that I bought (for £11) in advanced Python programming. I hope to be able to apply for jobs before the end of the year. But I have to squeeze somehow more hours...
@@jessijamescollection2017 I've been looking for dev job since last November. Had many interviews and stuff going on, but not a job yet... And I live in London, it's a big city and there seem to be many dev job openings... But many want a degree. It probably also doesn't help that I'm now 37 and looking for my 1st dev job...
@@ConnoisseurOfExistence have you thought about freelancing or internships while obtaining a degree? Because they would want to know how much experience you have besides the degree once you get one which will help you stand out against the other applicants who also just graduated.
@@jessijamescollection2017 I've thought about it, but this would be like a last option. So many people are saying you can get a dev job without a degree... I mean, it's 3-4 years and money/loans, I'm not sure it's worth it...
Being able to obtain careers in tech without a degree has largely been my experience here in the US. The companies that I've worked at, and that my friends have worked at seem to like self taught individuals more so than schooled. From their perspective it shows someone who is a self starter, is disciplined and really wants it. How has life been since your last comment?
2 courses away from graduation and still feeling like I need supplemental resources to fully digest which niche of IT I want to go into. 5 Wk accelerated course didn't allow me to fully digest all of the concepts while trying to do work and family and not feel overwhelmed by constant learning.
Colorful Codes I agree with your statement and boot-camps are different. I am a self taught developer. I created my own curriculum dependent on my needs and wants. A boot-camp creates that curriculum for you to follow which may or may not be what you want; but, will be what is needed at the time, to get a job. And will involve learning frameworks like Bootstrap, react, node or angular using MongoDB or the like. I don't and will never use a framework. They take too long to load and add too much bandwidth use to my servers.

Agreed. Online bootcamps are nothing new. I spent months in a dark room in front of a monochrome display with a copy of C++ Primer Plus, a game engine source base, and no internet connection. There was nothing glamorous about this stuff. Man how the times have changed...

@@StereotypeBreakers You are now called "Stereotype Breakers - previously Coding Blondie" so I assumed you did a bit of a rebrand of the channel and was just asking your opinion. No problem, though - just thought I'd ask.
Oh I thought you were telling me to change it again - I’ve gotten those requests before haha! My experience with changing the name is this: it messes up your SEO on all of these platforms + not every follower is going to see it, so you want to make the transition pretty long and lingering. Hence the “previously Coding Blonde” for those who haven’t seen it and for the SEO. Smaller channels probably have an easier time than larger because there’s less existing data and authority on keywords (I wish I knew how that works, I just know it’s definitely a thing), but I also don’t know haha. The algorithm is mysterious to me and I used to work at CZcams
I'm considering the option of doing a web development course in a university, it is not a boot camp, it is a course 1-2 days a week, which I can stay in my job while studying. what do you think about courses of this type?
1) Do I need to make a seperate start.sh file if I already have one that starts the Main.py 2) Is it possible to add the information to playback on startup inside the start file I already have? 3) Since I keep getting Permission Denied Errors (and constantly asking me to enter the pi password), when I try to copy the mp3 file to /etc/sound, and no issues copying to Downloads & Desktop, can I use their Path to load from?

How are these people self taught if they went to a bootcamp?
what is my first step to learn python by my self
I think she knows a lot.
czcams.com/video/hx4NNTYb85c/video.html
Try setting an end goal first (i.e. Think of a project you would like to build using Python) then you will be more motivated to teach yourself Python.
Oh bootcamp is selftaught okay
i never thought about it before but a woman that can program is pretty hot.
You're not self-taught if you went to a bootcamp!

Not much helpful.
Coding blonde do you have an Instagram account
Of course! It's @codingblonde
