Your video came at the perfect time for me since I've just been transferred to a new project that uses technologies I haven't learned before. Previously, I mainly focused on Java in my old project, but now I have to learn Ruby on Rails to work with the new team. I was unsure if learning something new was better than exploring my current stack, but after watching your video, I realize that I want to be an engineer, not just a Java developer. It's time for me to broaden my knowledge and take the opportunity to dive deeper into Java, my favorite language. Thank you again for your advice. It's truly motivating.

As someone who dropped out of CS undergrad and then ended up becoming a software developer years later without a degree, I can safely say that you're absolutely right about mastering the fundamentals. I'd add that when you're young and in college is the time to really struggle with & master the fundamentals. They're difficult, any remotely decent CS program in the states will teach you them, and you absolutely will need to learn them at some point (regardless of what other people might say or what you might convince yourself of). Everything through at least Data Structures/Analysis of Algorithms is actually necessary at some point if you want to really become useful. and it's much harder to go from Python to Java/C++ than the other way around.
Thanks Amigoscode for that, you've uplifted my self esteem. Since Jan I started this journy of becoming a software engineer I know after completion of my short course March 2024, I've commited 10hrs daily since Jan 2023 learning to become a software engineer,
Great Video, I am currently writing my Bachelor thesis regarding microservices in java ... something I havent done before but the joy and feeling of accomplishment I get when I solve problems is literally addicting. Furthermore, I will take that project and evolve it further because during developing I got so many ideas what else to add that I want to figure out how to add everything I want. The framework I am using is Microprofile which too I havent used before.
Great content💯 currently I am learning different languages and I will definitely implement your advice. One more thing as a video editor I can say your editing part makes your video so connecting and this will hold your audience till last second of your video great job btw 👍
Hi bro, thanks for this reminder. i think that you miss the most important tips « don’t use copy/past » and btw your tips 7 title still same as previous ;)
It'd be great if you could give me some more insight into the "communicate effectively" piece. as an older person, i've recently transitioned into development from testing and, because of my limited experience, often find it difficult to communicate my coding problems to more senior developers. and i feel, like you said that their trust in my ability is diminishing. Any tips or ticks on how i can regain their trust in my ability and communicate effectively? many thanks!
About clean code, it's good to follow clean code, but when things are conflicting with your tools's/languages's idioms, prefer the idioms. I give an example in Clean Code it's said that prefer using exception instead of returning value, this is not the idiom/best practice in some languages. So take clean code with considerations.
C++ is a great language to learn the fundamentals, but I think C is even better C++ is a very complex language that even language committee members will tell you they don't know all of it, and it's easy to find yourself in a bottomless pit of knowledge search without actually implementing anything (I've been there if you can't tell, lmao) C is a simple language without too much abstraction over the hardware model and without a crazy template library, so you can kinda see the bottom before you jump; and C code you may find around in open source projects, although it tends to reimplement data structures by hand all the time (and perhaps because of that, to some degree), also tends to be beautiful
Not being picky about languages and tech stack is a good practice indeed. However that does not mean that the specialization of particular tech stack is not beneficial for software developers. So having a go-to preference for usage of particular tech stack is not a problem but rather developers should compare PoCs created using different tech stacks and comparing them on metrics that satisfy the user/ client requirements.
Advice 2 is to keep learning but I dont where to start or where to go. At university, lectures used to give us website links, CZcams links and articles for learning more. Now, I dont know where to go guidance from. I dont have job but I think I will work with Java Or C#
Everything is fine but, if I work 40h a week, where do I find the time (and the desire) to spend more time to work in side-projects? They takes a lot of free time, concentration. Just after 8 hours of work I'm just so tired that my head wants to explode..
I have been learning so hard when I first started to hunt for a job. Now am here stopped learning because I earn decent now. I am gonna change for good.
Can you please make video on : - how to successfully install Java & JavaFX on apple M1 properly ? - How to convert a java Project or Program to an app that can be installed on Mac, Windows or Linux ???
I really appreciate the video! It's really nice to have this kind of overview. But i have to ask something, because i feel like i'm getting something wrong. if i don't do all these things, especially the things you mentioned in the third section about problem solving - will i not be of value as a developer (to a company)? In other words: if i can't work with the entire companys tech stack, does that mean i'm not a useable developer? I'm currently preparing for my first round of interviews for internships, and i feel kinda intimidated by that thought. And i kinda wonder if i should change careers again, before i get in over my head. Anyway thanks for the videos, man! I learn insanely much from them.
Hey, Amigoscode. What concepts can teach languages C++, Java, C# (give me what concepts you are talking about 01:05)? Why do you think Python, JavaScript are not suitable for learning? TY in advance.
Hi, your videos are so informative I learned a lot from your videos thank you for making informative videos for us. I have a request could you please make a video where linkedin and twitter used as social login platform instead of github and google that can be very useful. Please make a video on this topic
I have made a portfolio and put some of my best projects on my resume. I got an offer which is not related to web development, but it's service desk it. The recruiter said that i can transition into development within a year or so. I am 22 year old male from the Netherlands who's currently studying communication. Should i take the job or find something else?
If you really need a job - take it but continue to learn what you've started. If not - continue your search for exact position that you are aiming for. Bear in mind, that new job will require your time to learn new things therefore your will have less time for something that is trully your are aiming for (your goal). Usually, I don't believe recruiters that tell me "one day in the future you can transfer yourselve to dev" they only want you to fill the position. Choose wisely, it is pretty hard to work and have time to properly learn things.
@@I_hu85ghjo I'm not sure if this is 100% relatable but i live in Russia and was offered service desk position. I thought i would be able to work and learn but it was too hard to handle at the same time. So i left and now i'm finally a java dev.
I agree with almost everything he says, except for the part about how some programming languages can't solve some problems. I agree that certain languages are better fit for a specific problem domain, but too simply state that there are problems out there that certain languages simply Python and Javascript cannot resolve seems wrong to me. Can someone please give me an example of this, a problem that can be solved in Java but not in Python or Javascript? And please don't say "speed". Nowadays any language can be made performant through load balancers and containerization.
I don't know about these "problems". But, in my opinion, dynamic variable type JavaScript and python has itself is a problem. Typescript born to address JavaScript issue, since we cannot make five most popular web browsers migrate to entirely new language.
@@friedec3622 I agree that typed languages have certain advantages as they are probably easier to debug in and have better validations, but it doesn't mean that untyped languages are unfit to solve the same problems.
The first fundamental point is quite more of vague point. People will start to think Python is for noobs. In the real world, it's quite the opposite. CPP, Java, C#, Rust, C bla bla bla have their own region of application. So people over there, if you don't know which region your problem belongs to, just pass it. The moot problem-solving point of view that causes stemming the notion of being selective on language is not really worth it. Solving a problem is more like a logical game, devising your own path to a solution by stumbling over and over again and objectively it has nothing to do with what those aforementioned languages teach someone except you are really interested in language features. Do whatever makes sense. The filthy state will always alarm the inner you regardless of your current state as a learner. The best advice I have ever come across is not to take advice from anyone. Do not take my advice.
"I'm a programmer, my job is to program things and my hobby is also to program things." Seriously, it's okay to not do side project in programing. You can try carpentry, musics, or anything else. Get a life.
Hi Amigos, you told me to message you a while ago on whatsapp and you didn't reply. You are my network and I believe so much in you so please give me an opportunity 😢

I just thought It would be great if someone come up with list of amigos advises, thank you mate
Can you come up with a video on debugging skills
Thank You
What you mean by "the fundamentals" from 1st step (if you can give list it`s be nice)?
@@stasik4anskiifullon604 You can look up the well-known programming fundamentals, such as for loops, while loops, functions, and others, that exist in all programming languages.
Working on side projects is very important. Do not get stuck in tutorial hell. You'll learn so much more when you actually try building a project.

i believe there is a mistake, at point 8. the heading frame says version control again. :) heheheh i found a mistake
Well, you found a bug 😆
You found a bug
at 4:15 there is a small mistake you still show 7-Learn version control but it should be 7-Master debugging.
Thanks to people like you, i really like my job and try to improve my skills every day, thanks mate

At 4:15, there's a little mistaken part which still says "Learn Version Control" instead of "Master Debugging". Just wanted to state friendlily :)
regarding master the fundamentals point, could we use go as our language ?
