    Great advice! Possibly one of the most important lines in this video "My learning exponentially ramped up after I started working with people significantly smarter than me". Finding mentors and learning to ask the right questions has been the best way to level up skills and build confidence.

      The best way is walking through the good book for accomplishment your complex project. And when you get stuck with problems then your reasoning will help you solve it and this solving routine give you significant improving and personal growth through obstacles and thinking over it. It's not easy, but it's only profound way to become a good problem solver, good develop, good human being...

      Man, I love Udemy personally. Its the platform that I learned to code on. It might be corny, but I put my course certifications on my resume. It is hard to finish a course, but it's also hard to code, so it teaches the tenacity you gotta have to grind through monotonous information and complex problems.

The idea is to give newbees a full system (will tomorrow write detalied instruction setup GCP as part of this). In the end it is a system on top of system but with idea to help get going quick!

    I really enjoy your content. As a systems administrator, I am trying to break into programming. I have been dabbling for a couple years and have taken some community college courses. I also have some Udemy courses I am going through. I am working on my personal portfolio website. How many projects would you recommend? I have gone to Upwork and even lowered my rates really low, but no luck there. How can I get my foot in the door, even if its part time work to get experience? I imagine someone in Chicago could hire me for part time work. I am in Rockford, just west of Chicago.

    • @kennygunderman
      @kennygunderman  Před 2 lety +1

      I would recommend 2-3 really solid portfolio projects (Check out my video if you haven't). Keep learning every day, and network as much as possible. Networking is 90% of the reason I got my foot in the door at my first job. I personally prefer meet-ups/tech conferences as my means of networking.
      so yeah - network, keep studying, apply for as many jobs as possible & make sure to tailor your resume to the requirements, and reach out to recruiters on LinkedIn.
