Love the setup? Where did you get that lamp?

Love this video. Honestly at the end of the day everyone has their own path and it’s totally okay. That’s the beauty in the journey. Tech is an amazing field where there’s so much opportunity, when someone wins just be happy. A win is a win. Keep killing it sis. I’m rooting for you and your family. 🎉

Best advice I can give anyone watching as a self taught developer who changed careers late, make code and theory your obsession when you have the time to do it. Build your life around it, UA-cam videos, podcasts, small projects etc. Started my learning adventure when my daughter was born and it was tough but trust me you can do it. Blessings to all!

how long have you been in this space?

Coding is really tough especially now with ai in tech space

You’ll get it for sure. I’m in class 4/5 learning CSS. I’m trying not to skip what I THINK I already know. I do JavaScript on freeCodeCamp on the side. And the syntax throws me so bad. I’m used to learning things relatively easy, but JS is more than a learning curb it’s a winding road. We got this!

Im currently majoring in Software Development. My goal is to become a web and app developer. What should my portfolio include when i begin to look for jobs?

My only gripe with this video is that I wish you focused less on “you don’t need to know JavaScript to get a job/client” and instead focused on educating your viewers on the different types of developers (front end, back end, vs full stack). Then the messaging would be, “how to get a job as a front end developer. These are the skills you need as a beginner front end dev to succeed in your career. HTML and CSS”. Cause essentially all you’re doing is creating static web pages, which you are correct, you don’t need Java script all the time. But some Shopify stores do require you to have this knowledge, so I’d tread lightly on telling people you don’t need Java to get your first job as a dev. Just tell everyone you’re a front end dev.

Im new to your channel, and I'm loving it. Im learning new frameworks and revamping my javascript knowledge also. Im definitely gonna follow on ig

🎉❤

Thanks a lot for this

me finding css hard talkless of javascript ,i am scared 🙂 but the way u are motivative i am 16 years and i want to become a front end dev also looking forward in full stack

Awesome! Are you using a PC for 3D graphics?

26:38 The main card is taller than the other cards because the title is taking up double space, whereas the other cards' titles are taking up single space.

i recently started learning 3js and blender seems we're on a similar journey.

This is dope to see I’m not the only one. In my 30’s as well, did a career switch to cyber and I’m learning C and Assembly to eventually learn exploit development and reverse engineering.

thanks

i'm ALSO A GUY IN MY 30S WHO HAS JUST STARTED PROGRAMMING. IT'S DIFFICULT SINCE I'M WORKING ALONGSIDE. THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO.

Really needed to hear this. I'm in the field as well and have been trying to further develop my skills, which have somewhat stagnated, but have also been discouraged by comments such as the ones you received and the overall job market. I'm trying to be more consistent in my learning journey, since at the end of the day, I truly enjoy this field and all its possibilities. Thank you! 🙌

I live my DJI pocket 3. I have the same case. I will send you a link.

Ok first of all you look adorable lol. Secondly, I admire the heck out of your energy levels and how much you get done with all you have going on. You're a badass.

❤❤👈💃

peace

please can we colldorate ❤

I'm so an aspirant of frontend dev, thanks

Thank you so much for addressing these comments. I'm new to your channel since I am currently starting my journey as well. I'm currently learning html and cc since I love and and creating things. When I saw the comment at the time I felt discouraged or rather pressured to learn Javascript without finish off my current lessons. You are an inspiration and I shall keep at it with my journey😊

You are definitely an inspiration. God definitely has his hands on you and like you said what God has for you is most definitely for you. The enemy knows where and how to attack to get you down and your passions are one of them. You got this. I am always inspired by your videos. And found 100devs because of you. Don’t let the negative comments get to you. Keep learning I am right there with you about to start class 12 soon and I stay in Gods face because it took me a month to get through the css portion before continuing and there were times I wanted to give up. And I would watch your videos and become inspired and jump right back into it with 2 kids and a single mom at 36. You got this. And I am excited to see where God leads you next!!! SN: I sort of fan girled a bit when you responded to my last comment. Thank you for your kind words.

Your story is very unique , do you think you could still get a web dev job without JavaScript today?

“Properties and investments “ 👎🏾 yea sure so the market can crash . Also no one can afford to buy any property right now

I hate that you got negative comments! You have such a real journey. I’m also re-teaching myself to program because it’s been so long that I felt like I learned and wanted to really dedicate my time to better understand now that I’m a mom and want to get an established web dev role. You have been such an inspiration to me in fact I joined 100 devs because of your advice and wanted to take a thorough approach to my learning gaps and re defining my new “Why”. I pray that you continue going and stay super encouraged because whether your YouTubing feels like a hobby or not you’ve definitely impacted at least one persons life fsfs and that’s me! 😊

I was suppose to go to the meet ups in my city and reserved for 2 of them and never went. I will go to one this month that is my goal.

💯 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

The moment she said she ignored a recruiter on LinkedIn and the recruiter who was also a woman was chasing her you knew that's a diversity hire! How many junior devs with a limited skills set are being chased by recruiters. It just doesn't happen.

Laid-off developer with 4 years of experience here 👋. I hate to sound "negative," but it seems like the days of jobs that only require HTML & CSS are long gone. When I started in 2019, my first company hired me as a Web Developer primarily for HTML & CSS, with some minor JavaScript work. Fast forward to today, for the same position, that company now requires expertise in at least two frontend frameworks, plus solid knowledge of Node.js, .NET, SQL, MongoDB, and even DevOps. Having worked mainly in Frontend (React) throughout my career, I’m no longer qualified for the same role I was hired for back then. The job requirements have skyrocketed everywhere. I was recently laid off because of one underperformed task-just one! There's no tolerance for any slip-ups these days. And don’t even get me started on interviews... Scam jobs, ghosting, endless rounds of interviews followed by rejection-even senior developers aren’t safe. The harsh truth is: the market is brutal and likely won’t improve soon (or ever). It’s oversaturated, and companies now hold all the cards. If you’re not an expert in everything, and you’re not an extrovert with many tech friends and connections, good luck finding a job. So many developers are getting laid off. It's depressing.

Jess, keep up the good work. I also receive silly comments on my UA-cam channel sometimes. Just ignore them. Funny part is those silly comments we all receive, pushes our videos more, since the UA-cam algorithm likes any type of interaction. The end result you get more watch time. 😊 keep up the good work.

Web designer and Web developer

It's not easy, but 100% possible to start a career in tech without a degree or prior experience. Pick a career path, start learning, get connected with people in the field, and most importantly stay consistent--you will certainly make it. Don't let the hiring market or social media trends scare you from trying; we're all here to help each other. Cheers to your goals 🍻

While some people might be "put downs", and shame on them, i guess the issue might stem for a bad choice of words and a bit of misunderstandings. Even though you got two positions as web developer, you, by own admission, were doing web designer work. Developer implies mostly coding. And that segues to the misunderstanding part. HTML is a markup language, which is a niche case of a page description language and CSS (up to now) is a styling language. None are programming languages thus none is code. Now, is there any issue being a web designer that wants to learn how to code, and therefore become a web developer, and, hopefully, a software developer in general? None. It's great to want to learn. Anything at all, not just programming. And if people feel the calling to learn, they should go. As for Javascript... I'd call it the "devil's tax". Its used because that's what you have to use if you need to do front end dvelopment, not because it's any good. IMHO anyone wanting to learn programming should start with C#, it's a lot more "overall friendly" and will force you to think about things in a little more structured way. And obviously do A LOT of small projects. A LOT. You learn mostly by doing, so do A LOT. Doesn't have to be anything serious or complicated. Even something as simple as "count the number of different characters in a file and their frequency" has a LOT to think about. If/when you feel ready for a challenge, CodinGame is free, and there's stuff for just about every skill level and language of choice.

AI is going to take everyone's job anyway

l loved 100 devs. glad you found success, it's easy to get discouraged.

let me save you 35 minutes " The key points of the video are as follows. The speaker talks about her experience as a web developer. She got her first web developer job in 2019 and her second one in 2022. Her first job was for a government contract and her second one was for a creative agency. She left her second job because she felt like she wasn't ready and she wanted to start her coding journey over. The speaker also talks about how she got her web developer jobs without knowing JavaScript. She networked with people at meetups and got her first job from a woman who was also attending those meetups. She also showed the interviewer a project that she worked on where she used HTML, CSS, and Vue. The speaker encourages viewers to keep going and don't let anything stop them from learning to code. She also says that it's important to network with people and build relationships."

Identifying a blind spot and correcting it is a sign you'll make a great engineer long term. Ignore the negative comments- "don't take criticism from people you wouldn't go to for advice" is a saying that stuck with me throughout my career.

how can you ramble about something for 35 minutes? you're hired.

When you got your first jobs as a Web Dev, companies were willing to train juniors to fit there stack, also web developers were in high demand, sadly that's not the case now. All else, be proud those comments came from jealousy.

Great video as always Jess! The word Ubuntu is pronounced oo--boo-ntoo, it's a South African Zulu word😇

Some people just aren’t good people and they’ll blame the industry on not getting a job lol I landed my first swe role in 2019 and wasn’t proficient in any languages but they saw my hunger for an opportunity. Keep coding, keep learning, and let God work through you 🙏🏾

So telling the truth is now being negative? Ok, Iet me stay silent and encourage you and everyone else to get into coding despite the market being the worse its ever been. Lets ignore the thousands of experienced swes out there who can't find a job because the market is over flowing with swes and not enough jobs. Lets ignore the fact that ai has now replaced the average swe, which will soon replace the senior swe. Lets just tell people what they want to hear and im sure everything will work out in the end. Unfortunately if you now have an opinion that people dont agree with then you are a straight hater. SMDH

I feel bad for people that don’t have any prior knowledge on coding & the tech industry , that will come across this highly misleading video , thinking they can get a dev role without knowing at least JavaScript + html , css and a framework like react , unsubscribing the clicks ain’t worth making content like this :) ( front end developer here ) 😊

Waisting or wasting?

do you have a github?
