    I've learned the hard way, people who have no skin in the game will not appreciate what you do for them. The fact that the guy was complaining about his situation was a clear indicator he was more interested in finding an excuse than finding a way. I have mentored developers and have found they're able to do it on their own with a little guidance. So chalk this up as a learning experience. The same goes for volunteering. I've donated my time to help non-profits and it's usually a colossal waste of time. My stance now is I am very careful as to what I volunteer for and I usually wait for someone to ask me for help instead of offering it. Your heart is in the right place. You need to focus on where your talents are best utilized and appreciated.

    7:58 Facts!!!! Finally a real down to earth answer not catered to getting more views. When I first started to learn how to code I was discouraged after 4 months because according to all of the "get a 300k a year coding job in 6 months!" videos I was way behind. I'm past that point now thinking more realistically and am practicing and going to continue to put in work so I can have an at least comfortable life in the future

    Chris I’ve seen your 2021 interview at Bethel Tech just recently. Now I can’t get enough of your podcast. I listen to you and your interviews everyday now. I’m a 50 year old filipino just finished the Bethel Tech Full-Stack Program. Your podcast has stirred up a lot of passion in me in terms of aiming to be the best coder I can be. Keep up the great conversations. You are being a blessing to a lot of people more than you think. I hope I can meet you someday and have just a chill conversation about life. Thank you for being available to us as a witness that proves there is more meaning to life if one will work hard not just for the money but for an ultimate purpose. Thank you!

      @@chrisseantalks I think what caught my eye was the video felt authentic. You spoke about things from your personal view on how you felt things are in tech and your struggles. Truth talk: I've been watching content on UA-cam lately from Software developer Content creators and lately the content has been more click bate. It is starting to become more of a thing to get you to watch their channel versus offering value. So I've been unsubscribing and blocking these channels and watching a very few UA-camrs which actually add value. This video was a very good example of what I am looking for in a content creator. Lastly it was thoughtful what you tried to do to help that person, that was good to hear.

    I’m gonna be honest with you. It’s possible he felt like he simply didn’t have what it takes. I’m learning code and on some days I feel like I am doing well. But there’s always this part in me that keeps reminding myself, that there’s so much more harder material then what I’m doing at the moment and other people who can do it a 100 times better than I can. Sometimes that just eats away at you, I have a friend who has a career in this stuff, and I never talk to him about it because I just feel like a fool compared to what he knows.

    You say you're making $200k with only 7 years experience? I call BS. Prove it dude. Show us all your paystubs. Anyone can come on here and spew BS. You (and many other "creators") are misleading people with videos like this and making them think they are going to learn to code and all of a sudden be making all of this $$$,$$$. Just look at the disappointment in the comments. Yes, there are some that will make top (market) dollar but those would be the top performers. If you were a top performer I seriously doubt you'd have time to be making videos. Maintaining a salary like that requires constant learning and there are only so many hours in a day. Hypothetical: Let's say you are making $200k with only 7 years experience. How much would 10 years experience be making? 15 years? 20 years? 30 years??? Do you really think that salaries like this for one person are sustainable for even a big company? Well, no they are not apparently. You just witnessed not too long ago the big tech companies let thousands of people go. That should open your eyes man. Someone making $200k in only 7 years has pretty much "hit the ceiling" early in their career. Next step would be management but that is a whole other animal. You said it yourself that you can't find $200k jobs anymore and chances are that you won't. Competition is one of the biggest reasons why especially with all of the people recently laid off from big tech. If this post bothers anyone than you are most likely inexperienced and/or immature. Think logically and be real.
