Start with small projects that are interesting to you. Coding is like reading books, if you don't care about the subject or you are not pushed by your curiosity you are just wasting your time and will never really finish what you started.
I honestly think book reading is one of the best things you can do. So many people don't understand what's happening behind the scenes of simple lines of code and take it at face value.
This was absolutely fantastic, I remember watching George's stream where he was talking about these things, but I felt, someone with better understanding than me needed to translate what he said and outline the process in a digestible way, and this was it. Subscribed, hopefully you can make more of these from his streams. It's also a good aggregation of valuable content, especially when no else is doing it.
@@mateaandmilos Yeah it was absolutely useful, I'm gonna watch it more than once, to properly soak in the knowledge. Hopefully you'll make more of these. I haven't actually checked out your whole channel yet but I'm gonna. Keep up the amazing work.
The way I interpret this is, for example, Scenario A. Solving how to enable our cars to drive us in a completely automated way. Scenario B. Use a specific software tool/framework to create insights about our customers data. Implementation is abstracted away here. Scenario C. Reading about what your favourite musician thinks about another musician. The difference is, problem A requires fundamental skills that will stick with you long after solving the problem. Versus scenario B, using an already existing tool to produce insights about customer data, with this one, there isn't really any overarching knowledge that will stick with you. When that tool becomes irrelevant, you're no better off. And scenario C, doesn't need much explaining for why its probably a waste of time ahah. But if you enjoy it, go for it. Even just simple algorithm programming problems are a great example of learning from nature, because every problem has real world applications, and when we try to program an algorithm, we're simply automating the solution for each possible input. Also, this can come off as a bit elitist, since at the end of the day software needs to be built, and people need jobs to make money, so don't take this as the one and only truth 😄
The GOlden Bough is a based boook, my friend left it at my house and I have it now, I read the back of it and it seems even more based than I thought before! Thanks for the quote.
Very solid video man, I've been struggling to try and figure out what language to with and just decided to go with python but I really don't know what to do since there's still so many different things I could do
Saw this comment yesterday, just replying now, well I see you changed your channel name/pic, so looks like you made your choice LOL. But yeah Python is a great choice for any industry, can't go wrong with Python. Don't stress out too much about making the perfect choice, you'll find lots of knowledge carryover between all domains anyways once you start learning new languages etc.
@@mateaandmilos Lol yeah, besides the basics being pretty easy to understand from the get-go, from watching other videos like this, it seems like most of the skills are pretty transferrable if I ever do need to learn an entirely new language
For sure, here's a reply I wrote to someone else for the same question. But the gist is to focus on problems that don't deal too much with useless human constructs.

I think Passion and Love is the 2 most important things to have to be a developer, then to learn for me everyone should start from the basics like C language, then a bootcamp of the specialisation he want to follow, if its web development then just do full 40h course on udemy that covers most of the things ! THEN stop there and start building things yourself, everytime you get stuck, search for a solution and understand that solution, then try to implement it the best way possible, you NEED to learn a lot of things in a very short time, you will be exhausted and won't be easy, but you need to keep going, tutorials are great BUT you need to watch them when you need them and use that knowledge immedialtely for a bigger project, i don't have computer science background, i have Bachelor in Physics, and a Master in Data science, i learn coding by myself from the start, thx to udemy and google seriously. TL;DR: You need to understand how to use tutorials to your benefit (youtube, medium posts....). One thing you can do to accelerate your learning by 100x ( if you have lot of money ) TAKE a Senior Mentor (like 1 or 2 times /week ) in the field you want to learn, he will guide you and basically boost you to another level very fast, learning from other that knows more than you i found is the best thing someone can do in anything, its way easier and satisfaying.
Hey everyone! If you enjoyed this video, make sure to subscribe and check out some of our other videos.
It says your Devops video is private. Can you atleast tell the gist of it? I want to know if I should go into Devops..
Start with small projects that are interesting to you. Coding is like reading books, if you don't care about the subject or you are not pushed by your curiosity you are just wasting your time and will never really finish what you started.
This is the best advice for beginners. So many burn out before they even begin to understand the concepts because it becomes uninteresting.
Yes i learn a lot from making games with unity. I learned the basic of c++ but cant really implement it.
Best video I have watched on UA-cam in weeks. And I really mean it, these nine minutes gave me much needed clarity in a time of unclear muddy footing.
Appreciate that, I'm happy it helped.
George is great. Especially in how he describe things! Most regular projects is just translating business shit into react

I'm so happy to hear you got value from this. And yeah that's the exact direction I tried to take with this vid. Glad to hear it came out useful!
@@mateaandmilos Yeah it was absolutely useful, I'm gonna watch it more than once, to properly soak in the knowledge. Hopefully you'll make more of these. I haven't actually checked out your whole channel yet but I'm gonna. Keep up the amazing work.
Spot on with everything said! Especially the cutting of noise from all around us today and just DOING coding.
Definitely! Glad you liked it!
5:58 Focus on problems novel to you
Thank you youtube for recomending this video
Thank you for watching :)
This was true when I got started back in 2014
Great video, most of these tips can be used in almost any kind of skill/pursuit. Thank you.
subscribed for sure. Keep up the quality Matea, very good work!
Appreciate that, thanks for watching!
I’ll be keeping this in mind headed forward
Thanks!
👊
You're concious af.
Yes I am.
I was watching the video from Hotz, but some of you maybe can elaborate on "Learn from Nature"?

Such clarity, solid advice! I'm struggling to help other people start in this field... It's not easy to find where to start.
Glad you liked it! And agreed, it's not easy to get started.
unique video dude, really liked it. You earned a sub :D
Glad you enjoyed!
Just this one video and studying in a college for $100K is *not needed* anymore 😂
100% .. sadly it's something you only realize once you're halfway done your degree 🤣
You motivated me!
Glad to hear that! Good luck :)
I watched that stream. nicely summed up
Thanks! And yeah that stream was great.
Thanks
Thanks for watching 👊
Well said, great narration btw...creativity is the final frontier,
Appreciate that! And agreed.
I want more guides like this on the internet. thanks for sharing. 🤗
Thanks bro!
My pleasure, thanks for watching!
I love your content
Appreciate it :) Stay tuned for more!

It's the exact sayings of george's hot video.
This is it
This is it chief
Learn from Nature
good video
Thank you
How get a meta skill?
Are you yourself a coder or a sharlatan?
