    You just gave me the motivation and ressources to start this journey for myself thank you so much for the vid.
    I roped my best friend into taking this journey with me so hopefully we can check back in in about a year with a story of our own 😁💪🏻
    Keep up the great work man we really appreciate the video

    I started this week! Gave myself 365 days & I’m excited to see how much I grow. It’ll be great if I get a job before those 365 days! Also, I like the idea of daily video logs & journaling.

    • @dannydiscovers
      @dannydiscovers  Рік тому +1

      Yeah honestly the journalling and video logs will keep your spirits high while learning. You can probably get a job before 365 days if you stick to it consistently. The first job is always the hardest

    Hey Danny! Love seeing your videos. Thanks for inspiring me. I'm heading down to Brazil for a few months in December with the fam. I'm working on figuring out the freelance web dev thing while finishing up my degree. I appreciate you taking the time to share your insights. Só tenho uma pergunta... Quando você vai fazer um vídeo em português? :) obrigado irmão!

      Usually the demand is higher than the supply. It can be hard to get full-time work so check freelancing sites and look for contract work

    I love your vid Danny, and should I studying with the FCC website or the odin project is better as a beginner?

    • @dannydiscovers
      @dannydiscovers  10 місяців тому +1

      FCC is great for total beginners to get a taste for coding. TOP is what I did to build projects and learn dev workflows. I recommend both to be honest. When you get stuck on TOP, try exercises on FCC etc.

    Hi Danny 👋😊 thank you very much for sharing your journey so far! Good advice about doing paid freelance projects and I have tried this avenue before. The only thing is, no one will choose me to develop their projects on freelancer or Fiverr as I haven't made anything for anyone there before. What would you suggest I do just to gain some interest at least? Should I do a few self initiated projects and showcase these there so others can see what I can do?

    nice mate! I'm doing the odin project right now On day 68 now, but stuck with the tic tac toe project. Would be helpful to know what you did when you got stuck with projects, would you skip them, go forward and then come back to them later? THanks in advance mate

    • @dannydiscovers
      @dannydiscovers  5 місяців тому

      I tried for 1 day usually and if I was totally stuck, I moved on.
      I made a video called the odin project when it's too hard I'm pretty sure.

      I used all three to be completely honest.

    It's really validating to recognize my same thought process and passion in what you're saying. I have literally said and felt the same way since I've started my journey. If I'm not taking a course or coding, I'm reading, researching, journaling/note-taking constantly. I love learning and like you said, the fact that there's always something to learn is soooo exciting to me and is what really got me along with the fact that it's so creative and satisfying to turn ideas into something useful. I've hopped around looking for things that will stick and feel fulfilling, but I lose interest in things that don't really evolve or continue to challenge me. Coding and programming was like a light bulb exploded in my brain. lol And the fact that I'm understanding it and enjoying it really just tickles my pickle cause I never thought it was possible honestly. lol Thanks for sharing! It's nice to share that feeling of connecting with a common interest.
