Glad youâre staying positive man. I always say working for yourself is risky and you never know what to expect, but this is a good reminder that same goes for working for a company. This may end up being a great opportunity for you and I wish you the best brother
I'm looking at it as a huge opportunity! Always appreciate the support Brad!!
Traversy I'll like to know how you were able to make something great out of your experience
Thanks for sharing that, James. I've been in a similar situation back in March - got cut from a very small team in a very abrupt and unexpected way. Took me a little while to bounce back, but as you say, this is also an amazing opportunity to answer the "what am I capable of?" question. I like your positive and no ill-will approach. Keep your head up, stay positive and good things will happen đ
Thanks for sharing some of your story and the support :)
I have confidence in your content creation skills. I've learned a lot from this channel already and can't wait for what's next. You are truly a developer advocate and you got this đ
Sad to hear. I got laid off two times in the last covid pandemic back to back. I can understand your feeling but you know, you got the talent and you will get the job very soon. Good luck.
I'm glad you can see this as an opportunity, and that your wife is there to support you đȘ
We'll be happy to see new content from you đ
You are someone who should be able to take their skills anywhere, Iâm glad youâre making it a positive
Can't wait for new courses. Definitely something I'm interested in paying for and supporting your journey.
If a company doesn't want a guy who is
1. Good in communication
2. Attitude
3. Obviously technical stuff
4. Excited to learn new opportunities.
Then I think some pbm with the company.
You should also try freelancer/ consultant with content creation đ.All the best đ
Thank you :)
Good luck James! đ You have such a positive attitude, and I'm sure you're gonna do great doing content full-time. I'm looking forward to follow you đ
Thanks for being so positive about this and sharing it, for young developers this a eye opener as to how one is suppose to take disappointed. Lastly, you come across as someone who like to help other developers become the best they can be, and for that you got my respect.
Thank you so much for watching!
That's a great attitude James, good for you. Stay strong đȘ
stay strong and thank you for helping us so far. you got this! we'll be here!!! :)
Yay! Thank you :)
You have a great attitude about the situation, and it has the potential to be a blessing in disguise. Best of luck to you, your content is already up there with the best, even with limited time!
James, you've got this! Can't waiit to see what you can do when you apply yourself full time
Really happy to see more content from you, although not due to the best of reasons. Thank you so much for being open about it and being a true inspiration for all of us
Just happened to me 4 days ago...
Joined a smaller company as well as intermediate dev. Got let go after a month because I couldnt deliver "senior" work... eventhough I was clear I don't know the techstack... working full remote and also using macOS for the 1st time in my life... managed to deliver everything to the best of my ability for the 1st month. Didn't get any feedback... then the 1st time I got stuck I was let go because they need someone who can deliver immediately. Hard to process and move forward since I left a really great job to try a new challenge.
Ah that's really unfortunate. Hate to hear that. Sending positive vibes for the next role to be even better!
James!! Seriously man, lean into selling online courses. You are an amazing teacher. I learned more quicker just from a few of your videos on front/backend than I did from months and months of months of Codecademy. Your content is super valuable and I'm just waiting for your full Svelte course to drop, will be first in line to pay for that. Seriously dude, I'm saying this somewhat selfishly because I want to see more courses from you AND WILL PAY FOR THEM. You can do really really well and in the future that can be in addition to dev work. Do it!!!!! I can't wait for courses from you tbh
hahaha more courses incoming!
Your composure despite the unfortunate news is commendable. Looking forward to seeing what opportunities and creative content that comes from this!
Sad for your situation, but definitely look forward to more Javascript lessons
Love your attitude James. Best of luck to you in your journey and I will always be cheering you on and supporting you.
I feel you man. I was let go on July 6th from a title company (mortgage business has obviously been super slow) so now I hope to finally get into a web development role. Great videos!
Keep up the good work!
This is very encouraging!
Just for some support here, I love your tutorials and I learned more from your videos quicker than most. I hope that the feedback you have in these comments really inspire you to continue this. You have a good and clear way of explaining things that really connect with some people, so keep up the hard work and it will pay off.
Yes, I love this. So excited to be able to focus on providing more amazing content!
I don't even have a doubt that you are going to be successful in whatever you choose to deal with - either content creation or finding of a new position, where you will be among other people, appreciating your great skills! Good luck! đ
Thank you so much!
Keep your chin up, you'll be fine bro. Take this time to reflect, build, socialize, and enjoy the summer :)
One thing we can learn from this is, don't follow friends if they change companies.
Thanks for sharing your story. Hope all the best.
This too shall pass! You have enough power to turn this situation. All the best!
Good luck with your next journey James âïž! There are a lot of companies that need people like you.
We are always with you.
Super humble and honest video! I appreciate your content and your passion for development, looking forward to the new content đ
Thank you :)
Your content is amazing with limited time. Youâre going to be a juggernaut doing it full time. All the best! You rock!
Thank you!!!
All the best, James. I'd love to see live coding streams on Twitch!
I'm going to get back to doing that more!
James, your YT content is great and appreciated. "The sun will come up, tomorrow"
Youâve helped me a lot and I appreciate your time! Thank you
Sorry to hear about that bro. You got this, you the man.
Damn man!!! So sorry to hear, this might feel like your low but that would mean it's only UP from here on. How's your mental health?
Please take care bro
I've never been more inspired and motivated in my life!
Wishing you the best, man. Any company would be lucky to have you!
Happy you are staying positive and optimistic. Wish you all the best đđ
Maybe you could create a full-blown paid course for mid/seniors with advanced techniques: full app in Next.js written in TypeScript with unit-tests, integration and E2E (cypress), while using one of design patterns and mentioning best architecture for scaling that app...I never seen any course like that anywhere. There is not a lot of content for mid/senior developers. I would pay big bucks for that and I bet others will too!
Working on one now! everythingsvelte.com/
Good thing you're in a industry that is high in demand! When I was laid off 6 months ago, I was offered a new position in less than 24 hours with another company. And I am still getting a in ton of offers on LinkedIn.
So, use your network and social media to build your next career. :)
Network already in action! :)
Keep up the good work, your always encouraging and I wish all the best for you. đ
God bless you and your family, good luck!
I love that you spoke about this because I left a job and I havenât gotten another one due to the fact that my illness has been in the way of doing my job and feeeling 100% but Iâm glad youâre speaking about this
James, follow your dreams, and you will do great. I have learned a lot from you over the years.
Good luck! It is awesome that you are being so positive!
When preparation and opportunity meet success is found. Positive energy and attitude is essential. You seem to have all of the right attributes.
The best is next.
Thank you!!
I'm new to the channel, but learning a lot from you already. The kind of details that you give are not found everywhere. I appreciate it and wish you all the best. Looking forward to more content.
Ah wow, so glad to hear that!
Hi James, I am so sorry to hear that. You are very smart so I know you will bounce back very soon!
Thank you so much!
I wish you the best, and Iâm super excited for all the things you mentioned! I canât wait!!
Keep going brother! Roll with the punches and keep driving đŻđđŸ sending positive vibes from Aotearoa đđŸđđŸâ€ïž
Good luck friend! Sorry about the news, but keep that great attitude! Hopefully this will end up being a very positive thing in the end.
Thank you :)
Excited on your next journey James!
Good luck mate, your videos are really great and I am super-confident in your skillset! Let's rock n roll and try something new for a change, you may get addicted...best wishes!
This event may have been a blessing in disguise! Much luck to you bro!
Really excited and looking foward to the Svelte goodness!
We, 100% support your great work!
Thank you!
Rooting for you man!
Tough! But itâs great youâre following your passion. I hope everything works out for you.
Good luck and glad to see you're using it as an opportunity to move forward with content creator for a while. I'd like to try to do that but it's too much to balance right now.
Keep your head up! You have been a tremendous inspiration for me in my journey. I know the future has great things in store for you!
Thank you so much :)
Best of luck James on your endeavor! I canât wait to follow your videos đ
Sorry to hear you were let go!
But I think it's GREAT that you are seeing it as an opportunity - because it absolutely is!
I guess the moral of the story is that you should NEVER fully rely on an employer (even if they seem nice). You never know what's around the corner. So always need to make sure you have a good plan B for times like these. Otherwise, you are always going to be vulnerable.
I think you are actually a great pinup case for having a great plan B: you are clearly a great programmer and also very accomplished content creator and speaker. So the developer world is really your oyster now.
Look forward to seeing what you do next đ
Sorry to hear that, keep your head up through an uncertain time.
Though I am looking forward to your new content, but don't get burnt out on that as well, just do you
Thank you :)
good luck on your journey man. thanks for creating such good content đ
Sorry that you were blindsided, but I'm glad you're going into full time content creation! Go man go!
Than you :)
Excited for you to explore full time content creation. Rooting for you man!
Yeahhh!!
You are the BEST bro, you are determine to WIN, no one can stop you. BEST WISHESâ€.
All the best James!
Sounds like this change is a great opportunity. Congrats!
I think so!
This is what has me most fearful; clearly we are at an economic downturn and tech jobs are first on the chopping block. Supposedly we brought on 500k new jobs last month but all I hear about are company lay offs. Pretty nervous to make my hobby a career but it is still a goal. Good luck to you. You have helped a lot of people.
1. Im super happy that you are being positive throughout this experience. your attitude helps others not to feel down about being let go. Your a champion for that.
2. Sucks so much that healthcare is tied to employment. makes no sense. Just wanted to throw that in there
3. I wish you the best of luck. You will succeed .
Thank you :) all good things so far!
This will be an awesome opportunity! You re such a positive person and I'm sure full time content creation will work great for you!
Thank you!!
Good luck James and all the best, honestly I think you are truly a fantastic person, and I wish you all the best for turning this great channel into even a more significant channel. đđ
Thank you :)
James, good luck with your future endeavors! you have a new YT sub with this video and your authentic and open approach to this situation!
Thank you so much :)
Wow........that was exactly what happened to me too just yesterday.
I really want to learn from your experience.
Good luck for the future, I'm sure it'll be bright.
Tag your it! Excited for you to go full time and see what happens
Good luck man!
All the best. Going full-time content production is exciting for sure!
Best of luck with all your future endeavors!
Thanks for being inspirational đ„ł
This is the fate of all developer relations / advocate positions. You are just creating content to entice developers to join. When hiring freezes then your job doesn't matter anymore. Fortunately you're talented enough to go get a real software engineering job that actually makes a difference and makes a company money and keeps you employed.
This is exactly what I was thinking. No offense to James, but during recessions, the first people out are positions such as advocate positions, QAs, this new role called diversity managers in tech companies. Luckily for him, he is technical and has enough knowledge to be a software engineer again. He should be fine.
stay strong james. your content is always excellent.
You are the best James. I wish you all the best đ
They lost a good one and probably don't know it yet. I'm glad you're staying positive and happy to push more opportunitie to you. Especially, we'd love to have you here at RapidAPI. Let's go!
Sorry to hear James..
their loss, will be your gain đȘ
James, I'm so sorry to hear that brother. You have helped me learn so much with all of your videos. How can we help you?
Keep watching videos :) Thank you!
@@JamesQQuick Iâll definitely be doing that!!
Good luck i know u can make good content keep ur head high my gđđŸ
Thank you!
Good luck, you always make great content.
Good luck, mate. I hope you'll be successful with full-time content author role.
good luck in your next move man :)
Can't wait for your new courses. :D
Thank you! Iâm really excited about the future!!
Things happen for a reason on life, maybe is time to ramo those 156K subscribers to 1M !
Having zero idea how much money can be made from content generation on CZcams, it's interesting to hear that it's an option. The quality of your content is really good and I've enjoyed quite a few of your videos so I think you're going to be great at it, and hopefully be able to make decent income. Good luck man
Sorry to hear this, mate. I'd love to see you doing Twitch live streaming, IMHO. Full-time content creation is definitely a world I think you could step into quite easily. CJ from CodingGarden quit to stream full-time and he's got over 300 viewers per stream - I very easily think you could build that kind of a following, especially if you're doing it fulltime. I wish you the best of luck, mate!
Super excited to see where you go from here!
Liked and Subscribed, good luck for the future!!
Thanks for sharing, James! I think it is a sign of the times given the state of the economy...same thing happened to me back in '08 when the economy tanked back then. Keep on keepin' on and thanks for all your great content thus far!
Thanks so much for watching and the inspiration!
Good luck in your next adventure!
Subscribed just now. Let's go, James.
YEAHHH!!
Three months ago got the same experience. Take some time to take a breath and do something else for at least a week. When you return put your mind in something you create that keeps your mind busy enough to move forward .
Will do! Hope things have turned around for you as well!
@@JamesQQuick thanks.. working on it
Hey James! Sorry for the bad news. But, I think this opens up an opportunity to you that you may not have known was possible. I will support you where I can. Good luck! And thanks for continuing to make videos!
Thank you so much :)
when you work for others you always put your self esteem in their hands - its time to let it go, YOU DO YOU!
All and all i like your approach BUT one thing is not good: stop saying and wanting to help them after they fired you, you've got to stop this shit!
look forward invent yourself and never look back. GoodLuck!
