🤣The line about the CS degree was great. Programming for 12 years now and I still panic and turn to that same thing every time something is not making sense
They taught us that no one will teach us and we should go figure it all out on our own. Oh, also math (mostly proofs) that have been forgotten because most of the computer science profs (at least at my uni) were actually primarily into math.
My biggest fear from learning programming is building something, putting it out there and having some major bug that I somehow missed during testing followed by tonnes of back lash then not knowing how to fix it.

I actually like how StackOverflow is so mean. It makes me structure my thoughts and split my question into sub-questions, which in turn can be independently Google-d. In fact, I have only posted a handful of SO questions (all of whom got upvoted bot not answered, lol), but I was gonna post a lot more! But then I solved it myself, because I knew they'd be critical.
They won't hurt you. You just need to follow the guide/rules. Also, if you solved any of your own question, then just post an answer. Someone in the future will appreciate it.
I’ve noticed my errors occur when I’m forgetting to emphasize readability in my code. If I can keep proper readability, then it’s super easy to spot possible errors and fix them. So as newbie, readability goes such a long way.
This hits hard. Sometimes you’ll be ahead of the game and you feel good about yourself as a programmer and sometimes you’ll be behind and imposter syndrome kicks in. Keeping perspective is one of the hardest long term programming skills imo.

Yes I watched the video
I actually like how StackOverflow is so mean. It makes me structure my thoughts and split my question into sub-questions, which in turn can be independently Google-d. In fact, I have only posted a handful of SO questions (all of whom got upvoted bot not answered, lol), but I was gonna post a lot more! But then I solved it myself, because I knew they'd be critical.
They won't hurt you. You just need to follow the guide/rules.
Also, if you solved any of your own question, then just post an answer. Someone in the future will appreciate it.
Good thing this video is in the first person or I would have though it was about me.
I goes thorough all these emotions this atleast 10 times in a day.
I’ve noticed my errors occur when I’m forgetting to emphasize readability in my code. If I can keep proper readability, then it’s super easy to spot possible errors and fix them. So as newbie, readability goes such a long way.
This is exactly how my mind works.
It's a loop.
This scenario is what separates real programmers from new programmers.
Wat?
This loop fits us so perfectly.
As a student studying coding, this is so true lol, 90 percent of the time idk how I even fixed my code so I'm just happy I somehow did it....
And repeat that process over and over again............
My code doesn’t work. I don’t know why 🤷♂️
My code works. I don’t know why 🤷♂️
Sometimes my code works first try and I sit back like "well that's boring"
Whenever my code works and i dont know why, It doesn’t even matter how hard you try, you dont recognize it anymore.
"Down voted to depression" 💀😭💀.. so true!
it does bother me to not umderstand why something is working, but usually by that time i am too exhausted to investigate
Every programmer ever:
Get an error is annoying, but fixing that error without knowing how is terrifying
Embedded Systems programming takes this to a whole other level.
If your code doesn't randomly break sending you into an existential crisis about the *pull of the void* before fixing itself: you're doing it wrong...
Literally my thought process every day 😂😂
Highly relatable, I just passed through the "Why me" ? stage, but now Iam alright :)
Great summary of programmers life
Reminds me of one time my code suddenly started working, even though I don't think I actually changed anything
When your code works, you don't ask why. You just go with it.
No cap, sometimes I'll get errors for no reason, I'll decide to test it again and it just magically works
My experience on asking for help online is that people are surprisingly patient, kind, and helpful, even for really basic problems.
That feeling when your search brings no results and you know you're about to explore uncharted territory...
The way it loops is perfect lmao
This is why I'll never go back to this rollercoaster job 😂
Lol the editing is spot on
"so im coding along just fine..."
the code: hollywood
I'm just starting to learn programming and this is a very helpful video haha🤣🙌😎
I thought this was just me. Every time I do an assignment, I go through the same exact thing.
I'm so happy to see I'm not alone dev facing these things
Developing goes hand in hand with mood swings
Caption: my code works, right?
Vsauce: WRONG!
You send it to a friend and then receive a reply: "It works on my machine."
This hits hard. Sometimes you’ll be ahead of the game and you feel good about yourself as a programmer and sometimes you’ll be behind and imposter syndrome kicks in. Keeping perspective is one of the hardest long term programming skills imo.
I think this is the best video Fireship has ever made
He really talked about me. I rarely ask questions on stackoverflow and some of them I got -4, some of them -1. I dont have any positive charge
Me: I ignore the errors as long as it works according to my likes 😆
You just summed up my life in 20 seconds.
