Many people who ask these types of questions "How to not be a noob", "How to get as good as you", "What books do i read to understand this" etc, etc, etc are all looking for some bullsh*t cheatcode in order to make them reach the level of the person they idolize. You will never be that person, or may never even be as skilled as them and that's ok. They can't give you a synopsis of their life from all the books/tutorials and code they have written and even if they did it wouldn't really help you. The only way to "get good" is to START! It's really that simple... There's too many online tutorials, bootcamps and books for you to have an excuse. If all the people who asked those types of questions instead were learning to code (or whatever they aspire to learn) in about 5 years they would probably be really good. But they stay watching people online do all the work instead...
The book question is legit tho. I have had many of my older and more experienced programmer friends suggest me a book for a certain skill. A book is work too you know, and it's much more work than the 3 minute video from DoctorCockNBalls69

I mean this type of thinking. Would it really work if you weren’t either A) Born rich B) Born a genius I know that’s noob thinking to a certain extent, but setting up your own company is a tremendous amount of risk for someone that isn’t rich or a genius of some kind. Next point is; yes don’t be a slave is the way to succes - I agree. Hell most of us could live insane lives and actually have money and “freedom”, but end up getting trapped by a marriage and children just because society thinks that is what you should be doing.
@@davidochoa7117 lol I believe I’ll be successful, but becoming rich is another story. What I really believe in is that my children will definitely have the resources to become rich.
I think part of his message that people are missing is you gotta have balls in this life to pursue what you want. People think the "security" or "stability" living a life following a path dictated by society or whoever is better than risking it all and doing what you want to provide for yourself and your loved ones.
A huge issue in general is that people understand low IQ but not high IQ. If you take someone at 80 IQ, everyone knows they're probably doomed to a life of mundanity. They simply aren't smart enough to invent something useful or "beat the system". But then someone with a probably 150 IQ like Hotz goes "anyone can break out if they aren't a noob!" and it's like no man, you broke out because you're a genius.

i left my college. Now, I am chemical engineering non-graduate. Already in debt, don't care. I am all in! lets do this. Everything or Nothing. Fk it! I am learning cybersecurity for sure...
Meh, mostly horseshit. It's easy to say shit like "quit your job, live in a van, don't let them own you", when you have no real obligations or people that depend on you (like a family). It's also easy to say "start a company, don't get a job..don't be a noob". 99% of companies fail, and there is a reason for that, it's f*** hard. I prescribed to this world view when I was young, naive and had no real commitments. So I started a company, and it went okay at first, until it didn't. Lost a lot of money, and got burnout to boot. Now that I have a 2 year old daughter I'm happy that I currently work 2 developer jobs, because I get to provide for her, and keep her safe and fed. I still work on my side hustles and projects when everyone has gone to bed to achieve something greater. But would I just quit my jobs just to chase some wild idea with my current life situation? F*** no.
Such bolds statements are made by people without any real life experience. George Hotz is a smart man, but he forgets to mention that in order for him to be what he is today, there were people that provided him with security so he can dedicate his time to learning and praticing. If he was of poor descent then he would not be the computer genius that we know him today.
