"the last 700 is the hardest part" i totally agree with that. now i building some project for portofolio but sometimes i go back on that 100 hour or 200 hour part. just like a circle. if any one experiencing the same thing, its okeyy. its part of learning to. if you fell depressed and felt like "can i do this? am i in the right path?" just take rest for one day, don't touch any coding ,focus on clearing your mind and after that try again tomorrow .trust me, you can do this. what you need is some refreshing.
Can you mentor me please , I’m just starting my coding journey today 🙏
Quality time is key too ...coding when you're at your best really helps
True
Great to see you back Kenny with your programming tips.
Great video Kenny... Your videos always help give me that perspective I need and some extra motivation too.. Much appreciated!
Awesome. I finally found a real software developer and not like the other thousands who says you can easily learn code in 1 month bla. Like you mentioned if you have max time for that and could put the time and effort in without any distractions, I think it is possible.
But anybody who has family and/or Full Time job don't have much time. But 1-3 hours a day I think is possible.
Thank you so much. Really appreciate your content! :)
I am a 21 years old kenyan and i just began my coding journey,your videos are helping me alot bro...keep up the good work and bless up.
Amazing video. This is the information that absolutely I was looking for!
I got great job thx to motivators like you Kenny. But I have lots of experience now I use slow and thinking and above all use ideas around you max. On the project I work Industry job taken over yeah how to improve. Yes c# not too much exp but ChatGPT helps alot so I found overriding partially simulation to do all PLC Sharp/ at same time simulation since other side not awake with just one line change is interesting sometimes quality and awareness can be good knowledge! Listen is good!
I don't know how many hours I've been learning. But I can say its now over 1 year and 5 months. Learned the fundamentals with Python, learned the basics of SQL. Spent 1 year with HTML, CSS and JavaScript and did 2 months of React. Now since January focused on Django and I have to relearn SQL all over again but this time for SQLite3. Too much to learn!
I'm on same path in same timeframe. Python, Django first. Then HTML,CSS,JS React. Just instead SQL it's Next.js for me.
@@badbeatslayer Well I think React & Django is a good combination with SQL. Stick with it. Because eventually you can use React for the front end and Django for the backend.
You'll end with nothing.
You’d learn a lot faster if you focused on one concept at a time. As an Android dev, where we focus on both UI and backend, I understand what you’re going through.
@@mr.getrighhttt3433 It is funny you mentioned this because about 1 week ago I had a developer tell me "Stay narrow and deep. Just do one thing at a time or else you'll fail". I took his words to heart, so I am only focusing on Django for backend until I get really good. Afterwards I will focus on something like React much later on. I appreciate the advice and you are absolutely correct. I am spreading myself to broad when I should be getting really good at one thing first.
Amazing man such a great idea to learn how to code
I took a break playing OSRS for almost 1 year to learn how to code and after that landed a job as agile software engineer. Now I am back at OSRS lol
Great video!
I love udemy! I just started last week learning python and am having so much fun with it. Take your time everyone, and here's to the future programmers like me!
goodluck mate
Tnx bro , so useful
As an beginner programmer, I agree.
I'm able to manage 2 hours a day through the week and 4 on weekends so like 18 hours a week. trying to learn C # so I can work a program with Microsoft. Having a really hard time getting the fundamentals to make sense but have only invested like 20 hours total. I'll keep pushing
Dude I’m still playing RuneScape on and off haha you know you’ll return again soon 😂 wondering if that is what sparks our interest for Java
You never quit, only take long breaks
I just find interesting all the paths of dev and I have a lot of ideas to create a project, but I personally don't know what path should I choose, I'm not sure if I go to one path will be a terrible stress or it will be a paradise, this is that I can't figure out 😢
I think this idea of making it without a degree and being only self taught is a thing mostly exclusive to the US. Here in Norway and the nordics in general + probably in Germany no one is going to even consider you without a degree unless you've been killing it freelancing for years, have had solid internships or you are a child prodigy programmer since 8 years old as a hobby, no matter how component you are.
I wouldn’t be surprised
@@kennygunderman Yeah I like that you are transparent about this stuff with your videos though. This trend with self taught devs, (and hiring based of actual skills) is actually slowly spreading to Scandinavia but at a very slow pace and far behind the US.
I would say the same for Europe in general, France does the same... I was hesitating between software and cybersecurity and went for the second one. I have a degree in computer science but specialized in cyber and because of this I don't think I'll ever be able to switch.
Norway college tuition is free for public universities. That's not a thing in the US at all. I think the sentiment here would be much different if college felt more accessible to everyone. It's too expensive here without grants & scholarships, but not everyone will get those. I know plenty of people with over 100k debt from university.
I know the video is a bit old, but I think to say that Malcolm Glad well didn't make up the 10000 hour rule, and, he didn't even really represent it that badly. The important thing is not to leave out the deliberate practice part of it.
Thank you bro ❤. Can you give me the fundamental of js? ❤
i hope some 1 can answer this
i was about to start a university degree of computer science and i signed up like 3 months before starting
i got the books look at them i had a introduction to java course and math and some other stuff
i decided id try pick up java on my own to get a headstart on school
downloaded eclipse started watching youtube made a fully dedicated discord server with code/explanation and got consumed into 8-12 hours a day of studying/practicing
at first i did 2-3 hours
i didnt start the uni in the end and dropped out got my money and realized i can do this on my own cause i hate school frames and i am much better on my own
my only issue is the lack of understanding grounds i don't know whats my lvl
in a week and abit of studying
i know
Methods how to create how to use different classes different constructors(doubles int strings[methods also]) the whole varuable business,printf,if's switchs loops and orieanted loops
wrapper classes nested loops logic operators
i know arrays arraylists 2d all of that and some more things by know i mean i practiced it alot i really know understand and can recite this by heart
What does all of this mean about me? what is my lvl because my java introduction book ended far before i even reached using different Classes,GUI's, and methods
i am not sure what are my paths ahead
i will keep going in my java course but i just can never understand whats the end goal how far in creating projects is it that "You are good"
when do i pick up a second language perhaps a complimentary one for full stacking like python or html? or even grab a low lvl language like C?
i am in the dark here
Good video but this is honestly just very briefly done people like me who want to be game dev, would like to know things like how to break that wall or climb it to write the code on your own and don’t copy them just
I looked at my pomodoro tracker and I am at 1045 hours, I currently work as a junior dev and yeah I think the 1k mark is accurate, though I did feel ready maybe 2 months ago so a bit lower than 1000 hours.
it took me around 500 hours of android dev to learn enough for an internship, I'm a junior in college in cs so + that
Bro I forgot your YT channel and finally found it. 😂
seems like im bit late to learn in the days of AI driven culture, I just realize coding is as like game of dunngeons or strategy AAA games like where you stuck, analyze, build & jump to a different level, pls help i think like i'm going crazy these days 😅
Im playing runescape while watching and I feel called out
Hey can you help me out on some doubt regards...
50 hours course, half year has been past and i did only 35% of it.
i'm probably doing something wrong
Kenny what's your Github?
the period you've been off was the hardest time of my life😂
Im back brotha 💪
*were
Odin Project is about 1000 hours
Please I’m a newbie in this .. I need a mentor that’d be willing to teach me and help me get better at this .. I really wanna learn coding 🙏🙏🙏
Bro why do you look like Loki from Avengers?
Same.. But I wasted my time in CSGO.. I think i'ts about 9000-10000 hours. Now I'm learning frontend
Where you spend 10k.hour ... backend?
@@abdurrehmanmaqsood953 Playing cs:go
@@StonHenge do you have any experience in backend?
@@abdurrehmanmaqsood953 Not yet
in this time i guess it takes forever until u get a job, at least entry level job😂
Coding is simple, thinking is hard. If you don't want to commit time to learn how to think like a programmer, just stop at print hello world.
"as far as I'm aware this idea doesn't have any scienific backing" Jesus Christ... the guy has access to the internet, his job is based on research skills, and he can't find information that would took 3 minutes?!
'promosm'
i'd spend 10, 000 hours and 10, 000 more
Oh, if that's what it takes to learn that sweet heart of yours
And I might never get there, but I'm gonna try
If it's 10, 000 hours or the rest of my life
I'm gonna love you (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh) 😎
I think I'm on 1500 hours now
I'm going to watch another "how to learn coding _in a specific amount of time"_ instead of actually start learning.
Good idea
