I wrote this video 7 months ago but couldn't overcome the imposter syndrome I felt every time I wanted to sit down in front of the camera and shoot it.. No matter if you're a junior or have 20 year experience, the imposter syndrome is something we all struggle with... Anyway, I hope you like this one.
Such an inspiration!! Great to see your content brother!! 💪
You actually opened my eyes. Your way of approaching life is awesome.
I'm humbled! Thank you for your heart-warming words. Best of luck in your journey my friend!
One of the projects you posted helped me during one of my interviews with Lucid chart & I was able to convince them that I really knew what I was talking about.. Thank you for sharing all this content :)
Glad I could help! Best of luck for what follows up!
Excellente vidéo! Bravo Ilyas
Merci Adlene pour ton support!
Watching this video was truly inspiring.
Coming from someone who left school and university with not the best grades. I know that the only way i managed to become a technical designer today was by never giving up on my dream to have a job I’m good at, continually learning and reinventing myself as as person. I too agree that putting yourself out there and trying new things will only develop my understanding of the world and in turn allow me to better think outside of the box. Especially when I too, become a solutions architect one day( inshallah) 🙏🏼
What's inspiring is reading your comment! Thank you for the heartwarming words, and thank you for watching 🙏🏼 I hope my content gets you closer to your goal one day inshallah
Great to hear this perspective from you. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your point about persistence is so true. You have to reevaluate your approach after every failure because "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results" - Einstein.
Such a great video. highly appreciate it !!
Many thanks Tharanga. Thank you for watching!!
🚀 Very excited to announce my new course: The Solutions Architect Accelerator Program. An 8-week complete program designed to help you transition to the Solutions Architect role

Amaaaaazing iLyas !
Thank you Souad ^^
Love your videos !
Thank you brother
Very inspiriring, thank you sir!
My pleasure!
keep up the good work man , you're such an inspiration. By the way , out of curiosity question: where are you from ?
Hi Rached, thank you for the kind words brother. I'm originally from Morocco
i would say i agree with everything you said in this videos,except i'm not sure about persistence part,maybe you know better,but without persistence you can try and fail and switch to other things and may get to the point that you havent't found it and time passes fast,also i think persistence one of the necessary things in order to become really good at something.but that is just my humble opinion.Great video
I believe he confused persistence with insistence, an insistent person will try the same thing many times expecting different results whereas a persistent one will do what you said, try different approaches to possibly get where he wants to be.
I agree with both of you actually. Persistence is important, but the line between persistence and blind ego driven insistence can be blurry sometimes.
The point I was trying to make is to take a step back from time to time and question one's motives
Taking a step back and rereading our discussion a few months later, I want to add that although persistence is crucial, I believe it should not be the only tool in your toolbox.
What are the datatypes equivalent to blob,clob in aws redshirt datatypes?
Hi Ilyas, I am new to your channel, just subscribed, great videos, inspired me a lot, I do keep learning, but only for any requirements our organization has, but I would now invest my time in creating my own projects too. Thank you!
Amazing to hear this. Thank you for watching and best of luck 💪🏼
Great video with great life lessons. Personally I don’t think persistence is overrated.
There are some situations when we should and need to persist but also others when the best decision is to let go.. I think it’s about making the right choice between the two.
Keep it up 👍
Thank you for your input. I have to agree with you on this. Persistence serve its goal, but it shouldn't be the only tool in your tool belt
Very inspiring
Great Video
Glad you enjoyed it
Could you talk as about the technical side what have u done before and after getting the aws SA cert maybe throw some helpful resources and thanks ur great 💪
Great idea. I added it to the ideas list. I might create a video around it in the near future
Haha.. this hit the nail for me... I have loved messing with anything and everything since I was a kid so I started by learning, Wood working, Glass working, then became a Chef after two years of leaning everything about food, then learned web development, now I am in Cyber-security watching this video trying to decide if to learn AWS or Azure... Lmao I've been called a lost cause but I find joy in learning and challenging myself to try something else and to have a plane A all the way to Z.
I believe so as well, there is a quote that I like: "A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. - Specialization is for insects"
I can corelate to the "shiny object syndrome".Can you share how you document things so that when you revisit the topics, it takes less time to recollect ?
Thanks for sharing your life lessons.
Sure thing! I'm a big user of Obsidian and the Zettelkasten method. You can find a lot of great videos about to use Obsidian on CZcams
@ilyas how did you made your english better ?
Practice I guess
It seems you are interested in a lot of stuffs, but how long did you learn all that and how deep level of knowledge for a particular skills?
I tend to wait for an opportunity to rise before deciding to dive deep into something. But when the opportunity is here, I go all in. Sometimes I stop after learning enough to solve the problem on hand, sometimes, like with Home automation, I will push as far as I can
👏👏👏👏

Can we create redshift tables using terraform.
Redshirt ?
@@WinTheCloud redshift
When is the video coming re reasons for leaving AWS? :)
I wasn't planning on doing one, but it might be a good idea after all
So, you didn't need to learn by heart to get AWS ?
Learn what by heart?
@@WinTheCloud Whatever you needed to study, for the certification
Some things you have to always keep in the back of your head like lambda functions timeout, or S3 Storage classes because it's easier that way, other things you Google 🤔
Your shirt is very nice. I like it. Can you share how can I find one like yours :)
I got from H&M :)
Lol dude.I am overinspired by u right now :DD
Go for it, brother 💪🏼
Man, the video is boring, you're keep talking about yourself. It sounds very narcissistic. I haven't found any value afterwards.
LEGENDARY Lea, do you really want to talk about narcissism? …😅
I mean, I said I'm sharing my story, so who did you expect me to talk about?
Well, the video is about him and HIS experience through his life before becoming a professional developer. What do you think he should’ve talked about then?
Can I contact you via ib ☺️
I really need your help sir
