my fav from the engineering world + startup world in the same video loveett
Object is not a primitive tho...
Great video very informative! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
So proud of you Scott 🎉
Thanks for helping out the little people much <3
8:49 A "higher ceiling" is actually one of the best reasons to become a software engineer. There really is no limit to how much you can build.
hi scott this video looks cool can you please tell me which softwares did you use to build this ?
It’s such an inspiring story.
Programmers will probably be paid less and a new position may open up more "prompt engineers"
LOT OF LOVE Your videos and the way of explanation really helpful
Loved his way of explaining module good 👍
Amazing! wish there was more of these videos

I like how you mentioned using your portfolio to build opinions on technology that you can communicate with employers. Never thought of it that way. As someone who maybe has the technical chops but has a weak network, what can I do to improve my network? Would love to see a video about this because it sounds like an obvious thing, but it's actually difficult for me to know if I'm doing the right thing to land my first job in tech as a community taught dev.
Man, this was hilarious! 😂 I actually paused the video to see if I could answer the questions myself and I bombed the CSS question. 🤦♂️ This content is gold.
love you
great teacher! thank you!
You’re my inspiration
Love this ❤
One of the best video about ai and tech expertise
why is web dev the only thing ever talked about
When did you start learning to code? I am 34, I have been teaching myself Java on codecademy but sometimes I feel that I am too old to learn this skill.
Ok, now a video on Networking!
AI is like a really smart undergrad intern you have to mentor.
What I would worry about for the juniors who grow into higher roles using AI may be removed from some of the important lessons and experiences. The problem is whether AI in specific coding functions will obfuscate needed knowledge. We use calculators for speed but still understand the process; this is not necessarily a fault of AI but education in an environment with it.
Chat gpt gives me so much misinformation it's practically useless.
For now. But in a couple of years, AI will be able to read an entire codebase and explain everything in it, make changes with comments in the exact convention like it can generate content in the pattern of Shakespearean or pirate speech. Later it will be able to push code into production (cloud of course so there is no need for an IT guy) and no one will need to know the generated code like we don't know C or ASM now. When the AI can do any change you want in a reliable way, the "developer" will be like a project manager now, more into the social stuff than the technical stuff.
I'd like to deny that, but I know that's not far fetched at all. I was just about to start college with CS as a major. Since that was the only thing I had in my mind for a pretty long time, with all of this going on, I have no idea what I want to do now.
@@takeuchi5760Tell me about it man… I’m just working sales right now, debating dropping out of college. The future is more unsure than ever.
This would also mean no product would be worth anything as everyone will just roll out their own products
The paradigm shift is simple. Ideas are valuable now because you don't need an expert to execute them. This is a great thing. If it affects you personally, you should have listened to your ancestors. Pivot.
What about guys wona by junior?
AI is going to change software engineering, not kill it. Basically, you just write your code in English. But you do need to understand enough to catch errors the machine makes. Or know how to make your instructions precise enough that you don't have issues. Still once you finish you can refine the product by asking the AI questions about runtime, memory use, read/write delays. Ideally coding classes will start teaching techniques to make high quality pseudocode that an AI tool can convert into real code. It won't take long before the most advanced techniques to streamline the programing are in all programs not in the hands of the most knowledgeable and skilled programmers. What the LLMs will do is raise the lowest quality of programming to very high skill levels. Conceptually imagine it this way: Across the board LLMs when applied correctly will let the real power of the internet, all human knowledge combined in one place, finally be leveraged against any task the LLM can be set to address. But it doesn't know what the problem is, or what your idea of a solution is. That is in our hands, for now.
I agree with most of what you said, however I think the golden days of coding are gone. Most Software Engineering is either building frontends (which just mirror Figma designs), or building CRUD endpoints, these models will be able to do this and more within a matter of years, hell I was even using it for advanced System Design the other day and it was keeping up well. Piecing software together is certainly a large part of engineering but that is also easier given the fact everyone effectively has a Principal engineer (AI) by their side ready to answer any question at any second. The barrier to entry has been significantly lowered and it's pretty bearish for Software Engineers however way I look at it. > If it increases productivity that will decrease demand as companies will need fewer people (less jobs) > If the barrier to entry is lower that will increase supply because it's more accessible (lower salaries) I definitely would not want to be starting an engineering career right now unless I was focusing on a niche such as AI/ML. I'm glad I have the years behind me where I _can_ navigate towards product, project management, management or wherever if it comes to that. PS: Thanks for the courses over the years!
You just made me rethink my potential major choice I have spent the past year or so studying for. Since, programming was really ever the only thing I haven't hated doing completely, I have zero idea what I would do now. I'd been trying to ignore it as I play with ChatGPT and Bing, but the way this is progressing it's becoming quite clear that being a software wouldn't as glorious as it has been until now. But even with that, I'm curious why you didn't also rule out AI/ML too?
AI will create more opportunity for people to become entrepreneurs and business owners, rather then working for someone else.
@@takeuchi5760 I’d still get into software if I were you. With AI tools companies just want more code from the same amount of people. Look at where tech is going right now - did you see the Vison OS platform apple is releasing? Guess what, AI will not be that useful when building apps on that platform since humans are going to have to pioneer the new patterns and designs for that platform. AI will eventually train on the code and learn, but by that time, innovators will have even more complex systems that are much more complex than what we have going on now. Coding is very much glorified data entry - learn how to problem solve, articulate, and innovate. There’s a reason many of the visionaries of all the major startups in the last decade where software engineers / developers. They knew how to identify and solve problems better than anyone else (this will always be a universally beneficial skill to possess)
Great video! I followed you on Twitter and love your work. Will you be my mentor? I understand if you don't have time, but it's great to see a brother doing this as a beginner.
I mean its a very cool technology but idk feels like it will replace me as a digital creator :/ why hire a digital artist when you can do it yourself for free in a few seconds... it makes me so sad all the years of learning for nothing...
Imagrs, images, images - but where is life?
1:04 bro was flabbergasted 😂
Brilliant perspective in action!
Loved D'Andra's story. especially the redirection from SDE, realizing how the over 10 years of basketball experience tied into product management (managing yourself as a product), how higher education (PhD/MBA) doesn't necessarily give someone the leg up in tech & learning on the job/life experience can be a good substitute. I have heard the phrase that formal education is paying to learn whereas a job is getting paid to learn. Wish both of you continued success.
Insta sub!!! Great video
I am graduating in April and really nervous about interviews oh no !
Keep doing more videos like this, they are pretty informative. You could take questions from 30 concepts that every Javascript Developer should know. Its a repo on Github. Cheers!
thank you sir
Very inspiring thanks for sharing. It’s great to see engineers with your experience be humble.
I think being junior is hard but most juniors are not given enough credit. Seniors suffer from ego more than any other, sometimes for good reason. I think good seniors help their colleagues share the load of their expertise but know when they don’t know something and are humble enough to ask. It’s definitely a work in progress, and I do think juniors could be seniors in certain ways for example, if they end up owning a small piece of the problem of the code base where even a senior engineer will come to them, asking for their suggestions and ideas. So I think, the title is subjective. But I think if you want to call yourself a senior in general, you probably just need a lot more experience. Honestly, I don’t think no one knows every little thing about a language. In an interview you get nervous even with experience so just refreshing your memory helps. Just doing stuff helps. Literally spending time reading about primitives even though you know them and use them all the time, so just reading about them you realize how much you actually know.
Thank you for this video. I have a very similar background and I am pursuing software engineering as a career. You inspire me to keep pushing.
Thank you very much!! I am grateful that I found your video! :-)
Ran into your content on FEM. Such a amazing teacher. Immediate fan. I’m previous Navy and just separated in October. I’ve been programming for a few years now. Do you happen to do any mentoring?
How did I not see this? Fun content! Lol. Chief Scott can do it all! Awesome Frontend Masters courses btw.
Any ideas in boot camps? Or the boot camp you went to?
Very helpful, thank you!
