      Have patience. It takes years to get really good at something. I've been lifting for over 3 ½ years and only now am I really starting to look big. I did a 186 kg/410 lb deadlift in March. And coding-wise, despite me growing to despise it, I am better at it now than ever before, 7 years after I first started coding properly.

    This video makes me realize how much I love learning new things
    Recently I've been doing a project. I find out that when I discover new things/tools to solve some problems, it becomes interesting and i can easily enter the so-called "flow state", but when I code with my existing knowledge or try to debug the code, things can become boring very quickly, or not as interesting. This rule might be the balance that i need, half learning new things and half refreshing knowledge i already had. Thanks bigbox for sharing this! Hope you'll reach 100k subs soon

    Hello bigbox, thank you so much for making these videos. Just wanted to let you know that I recently started writing down some key concepts, or "rules" like this one, to adopt into my lifestyle (appropriately adapted if needed), and it works wonders. Large part of the reason I found motivation to code again after a long long time was because of your videos, so thank you again! Keep going at it👑

    EDIT: and some great advice too. And it didn't take you 2 mins of clickbaity talk and 5 minutes of direct sponsorship ad + another 10 minutes of of a listicle where you repeat every main idea 5 times in different way. Holy shit, it's almost like you know what you like in those videos and what you don't like and you decided to make a video that you would like. Goddamn that's genius.

    Hi bigbox! Love your content and I was wondering if you have tips for being focused whilst programming. Whenever I hit an issue whilst coding, googling for solutions will sometimes send me down rabbit holes and I may come across terms that I have never heard before. I will lose focus and most of the time, give up. Do you have any tips to improve this?

    • @abdullahnadeem1823
      @abdullahnadeem1823 Před 9 měsíci +2

      Perhaps one of the biggest things you can do as a new programmer is to just never give up, which seems like not a lot of people really have. Another thing you can do is whether you are doing leetcode problems or creating personal projects is to try to create ones that are on your level and are sure you can complete while being challenged.

    Unrealistic, when do you just have 4h of spare time? I'd say you can be a bit more flexible, sometimes you can also do maybe 4 hours learning on one day and then the next is 4 hours programming. Or even longer, if you're good at that do the whole tutorial and then spend as much time programming in the next week
