Hi Jessica, I'm an international follower, greetings from Peru! I'm 18 years old and due to my parent's illness, I couldn't enter university. I am trying to learn by myself and I am dreaming of one day working as a full-stack developer. This video really impressed me. Now I truly believe one day I will be able to do that. You are such an inspiration!!! Thank you so much!
I'm a college dropout and is betting it all in tech and coding. That's how dedicated and commited I am to be a part of Innovation. This video is really inspiring
@@aleenaedwards. Might not complete my degree -still in denial but I joined an online coding bootcamp this year and I hope to get a job even before I finish the bootcamp. Good luck!
Inspiring story! I'm 29 now, and have been trying to learn coding for 2 years now. I don't feel I've made much progress, and I'm often weighed down by the thought that it's too late for me to learn, but your story has motivated me to further pursue coding.
I'm so happy after watching this video! Your story is great, and congratulations on your progress. You've earned it! I'm actually an ICU Nurse and after this very long year, it got me thinking that it's time for a change. Now at 30 years of age, I've decided to go for a career change in Web Development, just started to learn code this past two weeks, and I'm doing my best not to feel overwhelmed by the amount of stuff I have to learn. Anyway, I'm only going forward now, and I'm now subscribed to you channel! All the best 😁 keep up the great work!
@@halamohamed8833 Hi. It's going well actually, slower than expected to be honest. I've been having a few problems holding me back in the past months, both personal and professional, but my goal is still set. I'm still learning to code, been through HTML and CSS and I'm starting JavaScript. The more I search and the more I study, Web Development feels like the right path for me. Thanks for asking 😁
hey, I am also starting this week. I appreciate this comment. may I know how are you so far on your endeavor? i figured to ask since this comment was 7 mo ago and I am on my 1st week. 😅 hope it's okay to ask.
Randomly stumbled upon your channel while I search for motivation going the self-taught route LOL as someone who barely started a few months ago at 28 and getting my first full-time job with benefits, I find this super relatable and the exact push I need. Thanks Jessica! you've got a new subscriber :)
This is the most aesthetically pleasing, useful and well-told story about getting into programming I have ever seen! In just below 7 minutes we get to know your story and your key takeaways from being a self-taught coder + enjoy this amaaaaazing animation! 😍 Love it ❤️
As someone in my 30's who just began to self-study coding with the hopes of turning it into a career I will say this video is a real confidence booster! It is great to see an example of someone being able to put the work in on their own and have the ability to progress in the field.
I second that Timothy. I’m a single mum in my late 30’s - and I can say coder coder and this video in particular is def a confidence boost and I’m truly fan-girling right now! Trust yourself and your abilities and stay consistent with learning.
I just turned 40, and am starting to learn HTML/CSS. I'm wanting to have a skill that will get me hired somewhere other than a fast food or factory job. I have been scared to learn, because of the 'imposter syndrome' thing you're talking about. But I'm going to keep learning, and get to Javascript and others after HTML/CSS. Thank you for posting a video like this. Also, love the animations.
Hi I’m 35 and I am also just starting out so I can get better jobs/pay than bar work etc. A big motivation for me is finding a job where I can have the weekends off with my kids. Best of luck!
I watch this video every time I feel discouraged and lacking motivation, I know it takes time and support of people like you and I thank you for your videos.
That's such an inspiring story. Though I've majored in CS I'm still stuck in what to do and most of all I'm gonna go into my 30's in this year. Though I'm trying to get some self-taught experience on Python for ML/DS but the imposter syndrome always lets me down and my own laziness too. But your story was amazing. Hope I could do good too before I reach my 40s.
I was getting worried because i want to become a developer, but seeing that you were able to do it without a degree, makes me think there's still hope!! (P.S: the animation here is soooo cool!!)
Actually. Completely. Insane. I'm totally blown away by the production quality of this video. As an amateur animator myself, I 100000% respect you for the insane amount of work this must have taken. Absolutely fantastic and inspiring work!
I'm a lab tutor teaching first year programming at my university, and one of the first things we teach people to do is Google stuff when you don't know stuff. Even experienced programmers at big tech companies Google stuff all the time.
I'm in LOVE with her running/dancing animations. 😄 Learning to code now, with what I understand is the more common pathway (HTML to CSS to JS to React) at age 27. Been in customer service for years and not with a certificate in video game simulation and design. Been deferring my passions for a lot of reasons- anxiety, relationships, fear of leaving my comfort zone- but I'm changing that for myself. I want to learn, every day, and change my brain into that of a developer's. You inspired me to keep going. Thank you for sharing, and know you're still inspiring people, today, to be more.
You said that you started learning programming in your late twenties, I'm 24 years old and sometimes age kill me, all I know is that I'm not gonna give up, you inspire me a lot! Thanks u so much :)
I'm in the exact same place, it's funny I just finished a fullstack web developer course of the government and I still think I can't call myself a programmer, so I'm working on my Imposter Syndrome and on my fear of being rejected or not called for a job. Loved your video ty
I recently dove in to web development and learning as fast as I can. In my searches, I've run into a few of your videos, already. This video was absolutely amazing! Great Job!
My partner is just learning on his own through skillshare and google and he sent me this, it was really inspiring to him and really made him feel like he’s not wasting his time trying to learn on his own. Thank you for sharing your story!
I'm 27, and just now learning about coding as I'm making a transition from nursing to this. Your videos have been inspirational, and give me hope that I too can make it with dedication and hard work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge :)
I'm 34, and just decided to start self study in coding, I'm a freelancer related to real estate but the voice inside me is telling me to study coding and make awesome websites someday. Your videos have been inspirational, and give me hope that I too can make it with dedication and hard work. Thank you for sharing. Hoping someday I can earn and be happy doing websites.
This was absolutely brilliant! It's the video that encourages you to start while simultaneously being so good you want to quit. Unmatched excellence right here.
This is an amazing video. I started to self learn code recently, also a 29 years old with no CS background (though my dad is a programmer, that helps when having doubts!), so your story is really inspiring.
I am so inspired @Coder coder, I am am new to web dev and self taught. It's really tough knowing where to start or being certain I'm on the right path.
Wow, that awesome animation! I really can relate to your final take aways. After quitting my job as an elementary teacher, I'm about to study again in a thing called "dual-study" (not sure if this is a thing outside of Germany) were I'm part time doing my bachelor degree and part time working for a company, getting work experience (and getting paid a bit). Taking longer for tasks is completely normal and nobody knows everything (something everyone expected otherwise in my previous job). I can't speak for others, but my boss is very understanding in that matter but also drives me to find out things myself instead of asking, even if it takes 3 times longer. After 3 years in I think I'm out of the valley of despair, learning new techniques really fast. People said I can't start out with programming that late, (I'm 28 now), but at my campus, there's almost half of the people my age or older that changed field like me. That really boosted my confidence.
You’re never too young or too old to learn, especially if it’s something you’re passionate about. I’m in my early 50’s and learning to code. I love it. Awesome video.
I am 32 years old and I switched to the software industry last year. I am not working anywhere now. But I keep learning new things every day. I hope good things happen in the future.
I LOVE IT! The design & animations made this so enjoyable and easy to watch. I come from the film industry realm and have been diving into digital marketing during this quarantine and now just starting to dive into basic web development skills (hopefully advanced in the future!). Keep up the incredible content!
Thank you. As a young lady who’s currently lost on what to do in my life, I was very much inspired to go for it and pursue my interest in programming, despite having no educational background in it. I aspire to be a woman like you, so really thank you :)
I have social anxiety and OCD , because of that all i hv faced are failures , nothing else , as i was unable to keep up with anyone and also the medications had an impact with my learning capabilities, so i somewhow managed to just pass my final years of schooling , i should be in college now but can't because of my anxiety . I only stay at home and i decided to learn to code because I always liked it . Even though at this point i feel no more than a disappointment , good for nothing, a pessimistic existence , i was stuck with this idea that it's just pointless in fighting against this uncertain reality where everything is nothing but a gamble against ur goals , there's no gurantee to anything even if u have ur 100% , it all comes down to luck.irrespective of that idea i still continued to code . I was jst scrolling through CZcams today and found ur video and this made me so much happy !that i can't express it , u hav no idea when the last time i felt so much lighter and happy , i was unable to cry even tho I wanted to , i just want to thank you sooo sooo sooo much for making this video . U literally saved a life here , THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART ❤️ 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓 , now video might be not a big deal for some people out there but that only proves the fact that small things can have a very big impact on one's life , and today i have experienced that . THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love the comfy pixel feel 😁 This gives me some hope. Started applying to jobs after a year of studying. Up to HTML, CSS, Git, React, & now playing with a lot of new fun stuff like NextJS, Axios etc. Made half a dozen projects on my GitHub. Sooooo many rejection letters, a couple phone calls quickly ended due to a lack of experience. Hoping someone in this industry lets me interview at some point haha.
This made me teary because I’m going the same path and this is the type inspiration I love to see and hear about thanks so much for sharing your journey. ❤️🙌🏾
Great video. I am at the imposter syndrome part of life at my new job now. It is inspiring to hear that I am not the only self-taught coder struggling with that feeling and yes it's hard. Thank you for sharing your story. I will keep pushing and get better daily. Love your content.
I like how animated Coder Coder fought a huge stepler (1:49)! :D You're a talented storyteller and a really hard-working individual. Thank you for this awesome video and your personal inspirational story!
I love every aspect of this video. What an amazing classic retro animation. I honestly relate to this story a lot but I'm still looking for that first job
@Stephen Willis Thanks! I just started CSS so have a long way to go. I keep seeing many say JavaScript is confusing and difficult...not looking forward to that when I get to learning it, lol. All the best to you too!
This video has helped allievate a lot of stress I’ve been enduring trying to get into the tech field, thank you! Also I loved the pixel art style you made!
Idk why but this video just gave me a big Ole smile, from your attitude and the little animations. I'm gonna try an learn code. I hate being stuck and lost with what I wanna do, and this seems like it's my time so grind. Hopefully I'll be able to make a Similar video in years time! Wish me luck.
I just saw this video and I couldn't relate more. I'm so glad I did! I took a coding boot camp during the pandemic and felt all that you mentioned. It's the hardest yet most rewarding thing I ever did. The way you described imposter syndrome is exactly how I imagined it in my head with the searching lights and everything! You've inspired me so much to keep going. Thank you
Oh my gosh this video just made me feel so amazing!!! 1st yr as a junior dev under my belt and your journey just made me feel ok about right where I am out.
That’s the funniest resume-video I’ve ever seen! I love it, you did great! I’m in IT (HW) for a long time and now self-taught DEV as well. Th@nks for nice content, subscribed!🔥
i just found your channel the other night and i’m so inspired by you, me being 31 and unsure if it’s the right thing to get into. your animations are TOP TIER. my favorite kind of art. thank you so much!!!
This is so inspiring. I love the takeaways! Yes, we can google anything, reverse engineering leads to mastery, and... impostor syndrome is real! Hehehe.. Thank you very much for sharing your story.
OMG you’re such motivating and inspiring! I get so stressed when people all learning CS in this field, but me learning architecture and has some skill in art
I loved your video! Definitely inspires me to keep going! I am 28 and learning to code. Knowing that you did it at this age also boosted my confidence in knowing that I can also get a webdev job. Thank you!
This is so inspiring. I graduated as Materials engineer and worked in a company as a CAD engineer/designer for 4 years before I finally decide to try my shot with coding. I'm going to watch this every time I'm doubting myself for choosing this career path.
this video put me to ease, I've been so anxious bcs I'm at the 2nd year of programming and at 19 years old I feel like I've barely learned anything on online classes. This vid made me realize I'm not too far back. Thank you!
I'll be 31 on Monday and I'm just starting to get into computer/programming/coding. Here's to hoping. Thanks for being an inspiration, and your animations are baller!
wow the animation is amazing. Super Mario theme. Glad to see i'm not the only one is trying to learn how to code in their late 20's. keep killing it with your videos!!
@@TheCoderCoder I like that you included that there. That's a lot of motivation for the rest of us to push ourselves, especially since we are starting at the same age and it feels quite late compared to the traditional route!
I used to love making HTML pages as a kid too. After I graduated high school I couldn't major in computer science because I didn't have the required GPA, instead, I did engineering which is a field that's close to CS. Now that I finished 5 years of university and went through this year's circumstances, I just feel like I have to do something that I really love, I wouldn't say that I didn't like everything I did in university but I was just not happy... Now I find myself self-learning web development and I plan to do a master's degree abroad in computer science. Thank you for this video it was so inspiring and I wish everybody to find their passion and be happy in life. Peace.
Very inspirational video!! They always put career paths as something easy to choose and something that you have to know since childhood, but it is actually really hard. Here, somebody who is changing to programming career from marketing and from economics.
Thank you for this, I'm having a hard time in college with web development, and you gave me hope not to give up. Imposter syndrome is real, I struggle with it everyday.
my dream job is to be a professional web developer. honestly, i’ve only just started, but you’ve already helped me more than anything else, and i am truly, truly grateful for that!!

I can't speak for others, but my boss is very understanding in that matter but also drives me to find out things myself instead of asking, even if it takes 3 times longer.
After 3 years in I think I'm out of the valley of despair, learning new techniques really fast.
People said I can't start out with programming that late, (I'm 28 now), but at my campus, there's almost half of the people my age or older that changed field like me. That really boosted my confidence.
You’re never too young or too old to learn, especially if it’s something you’re passionate about. I’m in my early 50’s and learning to code. I love it. Awesome video.
I am 32 years old and I switched to the software industry last year. I am not working anywhere now. But I keep learning new things every day. I hope good things happen in the future.
I LOVE IT! The design & animations made this so enjoyable and easy to watch. I come from the film industry realm and have been diving into digital marketing during this quarantine and now just starting to dive into basic web development skills (hopefully advanced in the future!). Keep up the incredible content!
This is hands down One of the best videos I have seen on CZcams. Thank you.
Thank you. As a young lady who’s currently lost on what to do in my life, I was very much inspired to go for it and pursue my interest in programming, despite having no educational background in it. I aspire to be a woman like you, so really thank you :)
This is awesome! I just went through an inspirational RPG!
haha awesome, thanks for watching!
So inspirational!! I’m starting at 29 and I picking it up like butter. I love learning new skills.
haha awesome! Best of luck as you learn!
Hey buddy, what language, and what materials did you use?
Oh and I am old, 33 😅😅🤣
I have social anxiety and OCD , because of that all i hv faced are failures , nothing else , as i was unable to keep up with anyone and also the medications had an impact with my learning capabilities, so i somewhow managed to just pass my final years of schooling , i should be in college now but can't because of my anxiety . I only stay at home and i decided to learn to code because I always liked it . Even though at this point i feel no more than a disappointment , good for nothing, a pessimistic existence , i was stuck with this idea that it's just pointless in fighting against this uncertain reality where everything is nothing but a gamble against ur goals , there's no gurantee to anything even if u have ur 100% , it all comes down to luck.irrespective of that idea i still continued to code . I was jst scrolling through CZcams today and found ur video and this made me so much happy !that i can't express it , u hav no idea when the last time i felt so much lighter and happy , i was unable to cry even tho I wanted to , i just want to thank you sooo sooo sooo much for making this video . U literally saved a life here , THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART ❤️ 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓 , now video might be not a big deal for some people out there but that only proves the fact that small things can have a very big impact on one's life , and today i have experienced that . THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love the comfy pixel feel 😁
This gives me some hope. Started applying to jobs after a year of studying. Up to HTML, CSS, Git, React, & now playing with a lot of new fun stuff like NextJS, Axios etc. Made half a dozen projects on my GitHub. Sooooo many rejection letters, a couple phone calls quickly ended due to a lack of experience. Hoping someone in this industry lets me interview at some point haha.
This made me teary because I’m going the same path and this is the type inspiration I love to see and hear about thanks so much for sharing your journey. ❤️🙌🏾
Great video. I am at the imposter syndrome part of life at my new job now. It is inspiring to hear that I am not the only self-taught coder struggling with that feeling and yes it's hard. Thank you for sharing your story. I will keep pushing and get better daily. Love your content.
I like how animated Coder Coder fought a huge stepler (1:49)! :D
You're a talented storyteller and a really hard-working individual. Thank you for this awesome video and your personal inspirational story!
hi, your animations are absolute eye-candy, cool video!
I love every aspect of this video. What an amazing classic retro animation. I honestly relate to this story a lot but I'm still looking for that first job
Really love this animated Super Mario Brothers-like video! I've just started learning to code in my 30s. Thanks for the encouragement to keep going.
Glad you liked it! Best of luck as you learn to code!!
@Stephen Willis Thanks! I just started CSS so have a long way to go. I keep seeing many say JavaScript is confusing and difficult...not looking forward to that when I get to learning it, lol. All the best to you too!
This video has helped allievate a lot of stress I’ve been enduring trying to get into the tech field, thank you!
Also I loved the pixel art style you made!
Idk why but this video just gave me a big Ole smile, from your attitude and the little animations.
I'm gonna try an learn code. I hate being stuck and lost with what I wanna do, and this seems like it's my time so grind. Hopefully I'll be able to make a Similar video in years time!
Wish me luck.
So surprised and so motivated to listen to your career story, thank you so much for this!
You don't know how much I needed this video Jessica! ❤
I just saw this video and I couldn't relate more. I'm so glad I did! I took a coding boot camp during the pandemic and felt all that you mentioned. It's the hardest yet most rewarding thing I ever did. The way you described imposter syndrome is exactly how I imagined it in my head with the searching lights and everything! You've inspired me so much to keep going. Thank you
Oh my gosh this video just made me feel so amazing!!! 1st yr as a junior dev under my belt and your journey just made me feel ok about right where I am out.
Love your story and your animations. It is really inspiring! As a computer scientist I can relate a lot. Keep coding
I love these stories. So happy for you and your current place within the coding community. Awesome content. See you soon!
That’s the funniest resume-video I’ve ever seen! I love it, you did great! I’m in IT (HW) for a long time and now self-taught DEV as well. Th@nks for nice content, subscribed!🔥
i just found your channel the other night and i’m so inspired by you, me being 31 and unsure if it’s the right thing to get into. your animations are TOP TIER. my favorite kind of art. thank you so much!!!
This is so inspiring. I love the takeaways! Yes, we can google anything, reverse engineering leads to mastery, and... impostor syndrome is real! Hehehe.. Thank you very much for sharing your story.
You are so cool!! I'm 24 and I'm starting to build websites
I'm inspired. Thank you for this
OMG you’re such motivating and inspiring! I get so stressed when people all learning CS in this field, but me learning architecture and has some skill in art
The stories, the animation, everything is perfect. Wow!
I loved your video! Definitely inspires me to keep going! I am 28 and learning to code. Knowing that you did it at this age also boosted my confidence in knowing that I can also get a webdev job. Thank you!
Yes! You can do it! 28 is most definitely not too old!
@@TheCoderCoderwhat do you mean by " not too old ". 😢😢
@@sumeetrox2479 lmaoo , it's never late to learn 😂
Great walkthrough. I loved the tips for Stage 3-1. I'll keep them in mind on my next speedrun. :)
haha thanks Beau! Glad you enjoyed the video :D
This is so inspiring. I graduated as Materials engineer and worked in a company as a CAD engineer/designer for 4 years before I finally decide to try my shot with coding. I'm going to watch this every time I'm doubting myself for choosing this career path.
this video put me to ease, I've been so anxious bcs I'm at the 2nd year of programming and at 19 years old I feel like I've barely learned anything on online classes. This vid made me realize I'm not too far back. Thank you!
lets gooooooooo!!!!!
thanks mate for refilling my fuel !!!!
woohoo!!!
This is so cute! I’m a huge retro gamer. I can relate to this story.
Sweet!! Glad you enjoyed the story and the visuals :D
I stilll can't belive how amazing the animations are. this video feels like a favorite movie now!
I'll be 31 on Monday and I'm just starting to get into computer/programming/coding. Here's to hoping. Thanks for being an inspiration, and your animations are baller!
How to learn to code?
Google: Yes
Wow! I thought you were in your mid-twenties! Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks for watching! Yep, mid-twenties was a while ago lol
Awesome video . U just encouraged me and many other people to not be scared of things we don't know but to fight it and work hard to know it .
wow the animation is amazing. Super Mario theme. Glad to see i'm not the only one is trying to learn how to code in their late 20's. keep killing it with your videos!!
Thanks!
Thank you!!
IM HERE TOO AND I SAY THANK YOU FOR HER
Ok
Noice Video right
you are a good man, I hope you get back that times 30
"and earning a 6 figure salary" DAMN MOMMY!
ahahaha
Luv u obito
@Innocent that's the average annual salary for a senior developer in the USA
@@TheCoderCoder I like that you included that there. That's a lot of motivation for the rest of us to push ourselves, especially since we are starting at the same age and it feels quite late compared to the traditional route!
This whole channel is perfect, but this video in particular si a freaking masterpiece.
I just started learning to code this year, and belive me when i say "this gave me hope" i mean it
I used to love making HTML pages as a kid too. After I graduated high school I couldn't major in computer science because I didn't have the required GPA, instead, I did engineering which is a field that's close to CS. Now that I finished 5 years of university and went through this year's circumstances, I just feel like I have to do something that I really love, I wouldn't say that I didn't like everything I did in university but I was just not happy... Now I find myself self-learning web development and I plan to do a master's degree abroad in computer science. Thank you for this video it was so inspiring and I wish everybody to find their passion and be happy in life. Peace.
My friend talks about you all the time and I am so glad I have finally come to your channel
Very inspirational video!! They always put career paths as something easy to choose and something that you have to know since childhood, but it is actually really hard. Here, somebody who is changing to programming career from marketing and from economics.
jessica nailed the editing over coding
Very inspiring. Learning to code for me is a marathon. Been at it a few months. But it's very hard. Thank you for sharing your story
That is really cool on your coding history background, but I love the animation! That kept me interested throughout the video.
Thank you for this, I'm having a hard time in college with web development, and you gave me hope not to give up. Imposter syndrome is real, I struggle with it everyday.
my dream job is to be a professional web developer. honestly, i’ve only just started, but you’ve already helped me more than anything else, and i am truly, truly grateful for that!!
