I feel motivated, because im going to start my first job on May 20 and I am so afraid and nervous because I feel so underqualified. WHAT IF I CANT DO THE JOB, im afraid but thanks
@@joshualim5587 From my 15 years of experience in the Field, I have found that most of the job will be learned on the job because, no company does things in the same way and the things that you learned in school are ideal, but noone does things in the ideal way.

Try to build an app for your own needs with copy paste method. Run it and see the results. And then, make yourself to understand those codes, line by line. And use that newly-found-knowledge to rebuild that app with your own logic, with the same results
@PronunciationLesson Find an app with all the codes that were used to build it,then copy and paste them in whatever you are using to program to see how it was built. Think of it as learning how to write,you find a book or article that was written by a master writer and you hand copy it word by word,then you study and understand them.
1)Try 2) Coding tutorials are fundamentals for you to further differentiate into paths 3)Project based learning a)Personal motivation b) Comprrehensive skills 4) Keep prroject small
I like the “perfect practice makes perfect” line. I’ve also heard “Practice makes permanent” to deter people from repeating a bad habit and cementing the habit in place
Have to agree with this line as well, watching this a year later after published. I spent a lot of time in a career practicing to get better, then quit because the level of improvement went down. This was due to the fact that I wasn't practicing the right things.
I have a 2.2 GPA in a CS degree with 2 more years to go and every coding related video I watch makes me feel like shit. I feel miserable and watching other people succeed at their CS degree makes me feel so dumb. Except your videos Mayuko they r so motivating esp your CS degree video. I was so glad u didn't mention your grades. I have decided to lift my head up and continue this journey. I will not focus on my grades but on the actual knowledge that I gain. Thank you ❤❤
@@niketakirdat5279 I think it depends on the country. In my country they see how u do in the interview exam and personal projects. They don't check out the grades
This is crazy, spent all night yesterday thinking about starting coding and asking myself how to start. I wake up open UA-cam and this is the first video I see.
3:12 "Learning the fundamentals of coding allow you to gain a certain level of fluency so that you can build whatever you want and learn what you need to build the thing" ... this is the easiest way to learn how to code tbh :)
Once you've settled on a topic/project to work on, see it through until the end. It's rewarding to see something that you've learned come into fruition and you'll have the confidence to keep moving forward.
I remember watching your “day in the life of a software engineer” video the summer before my senior year of high school. It was definitely one of the reasons why I felt really excited to become a software engineer and inspired me to learn CS. I’m now interning at a FAANG and gotta say it’s really cool to see you still inspiring others to enter the field.
I am so happy that I found your YT channel. I had a 3 years banking career and decided to change career to software development. Throughout my journey to become a software engineer, I had ups and downs, I doubted myself, lost my motivation, started large projects and never finished. So far, every one of the videos I watched gave me some more confidence to continue and really spoke to me. I am not employed yet (so far I was constantly rejected, even though I followed a training program at a multinational local company and got there an internship), but I come up with some small ideas to implement for personal portfolio and work harder to prove myself into the field. :) I appreciate your content!!!
My Dad always says that ever since I was a little girl!!! Perfect practice makes perfect!! I’m literally dead!! (I’m 48 and learning Python btw) I want to go into the tech world. Great video!
Completely agree. I have about 2 years of Java background, and I wanted to learn python. One of the first things I built was an Alexa skill that uses data structures like dictionaries and lists, as well as http requests. Before that, I made a simple command prompt password retriever to get passwords faster than the Google Password Manager. I started learning Python in late February. I'm still learning a lot about the language and syntax, but I do that with building projects
coding is basically: * stackoverflow ** trying to find the error on line 31; * stackoverflow; ** a random youtuber showing the error you're trying to solve * stackoverflow;
I love the humbleness in your videos. It always seems like super genuine advice. I think those kind of video are missing in this tech bro scene on UA-cam.
That's true! You just need to be brave enough to start and curious enough to keep going. Don't forget about inspiration on the way. I'd recommend watching Mayuko's videos 😎
I’m a Bio major but I’m switching to computer science. You are one my favorite CS influencers on UA-cam!! Im starting my first programming class this summer
It's SUPER important to not get lost in tutorials! If you don't try and build something on your own (and struggle) you're not going to learn a thing! Also, don't forget to share your code on github 🤘.
I'm so mad that I just recently discovered your channel!! Wished I'd been here since ages ago. What an eloquent and brilliant communicator, thank you for existing xx
JUST DO IT. Ooo I was stuck in tutorial land for awhile. Definitely think moving over to projects as soon as possible is better. Looking forward to Code With Friends!
Idk if you’ve started already but, try doing problems in coding bat> leet code> Hackerrank> CSES You can look over Github codes too for logic or to understand larger projects. Good luck! :)
Yes! Work on projects that interest you and that you have fun doing. That's what motivates me to keep at it and see the end result. One time I was trying to learn Arduino and my first project was to make an automated cat toy. Super fun but my cat got bored of it haha!
I agree with the advice of "just get started" and with all the you tube tutorials, anyone is spoiled for choice, for where to start I am not working, so I can spend all day teaching myself to code. I would not expect anyone to have the paitence to write code or do tutorials all day, that is too boring, atleast at first. I suggest, spend about 4 hours working through a couple of tutorials, try tweaking the code and making small changes to see what is possible with that bit of code. Instead of watching netflix in the evening, try making something fun, could be a game, a small program, or or any of the other side project ideas that are suggested in any video. My side project is a text based adventure game, where you talk to people, and there are dialogue options, and each character as a different personality, so you get either a positive or negative response based on how you talk to them.
Thank you! I was actually motivated by 5:41 -- Keep the project small and focus on the small, functional parts. It made my progression feel manageable. I may not have mastery over the whole idea I want to build, but I can get really good at fundamental pieces which I can assemble later to become a better whole.
"Find someone who can at least hold you accountable for what you're gonna make" Agreed. I'm taking a coding course now and although I enjoy what I'm learning, I have days where I feel kinda unmotivated to work on my project. Having a close person check in on my progress regularly drives me to put in the efforts :)
Hey Mayuko! I'm a recent graduate in Computer Science in have been on the search for a job. I found that my education lacked quite a bit of practical skills and wasn't as great as I would have hoped. I find my knowledge on technologies, practical skills, data structure & algorithms, and everything in general seems to be lacking. I am thankful that the one thing I am confident in is my analytical way of thinking. "Thinking like a coder." Which still gives me hope. I'm trying to overcome this weird fear of inadequacy with starting to build a portfolio and building projects to get better. I just have to say, watching this video is beyond encouraging. I've always told myself "JUST DO IT," but sometimes, self motivation is tough when you yourself is the obstacle lol I just wanted to thank you for all that you do. Your stream, your videos, your discord. It really helps aspire to do more and dream bigger. Thank you for all that you do and inspiring aspiring Software Developers! ^u^
Hi Mayuko, agree about the part where you mentioned that one should learn by doing. After learning (some of) the basics, working on personal projects provides the motivation to continue the learning journey.
I think that was why i gave up on a game, because i tried to achieve something big and time consuming but it got me bored because of the time that it takes, but doing small things makes me more motivated even faster and because they are much easier to do and it feels like im pretty good at it now.
I JUST sent out a message to my engineering friends asking how I can get better at coding and then your video popped up! I'm a chemical engineering major and recently took a C++ course. It quickly became my favorite class and I'm excited to learn more, thanks for this video!
it's been a while since i stuck on some point of python and just today, just today, i thought of restarting that crash course. and you uploaded this vid. you read my mind
Spot on. Great advice. As soon as you feel you can start to code for yourself. Solve your own problems with code. Create your own projects...Start. If you think "I know enough to do 60% of what I want.. So, should I do another 50 or 100 hours of tutorials? Or, should I make a start and and learn what else I need as I code?" The answer is... start coding Always start coding The difference is mainly motivation. If you are solving a problem you actually want to solve or a project you are passionate in. You will be motivated far more than if you are doing dry academic projects. In my experience you will learn faster and retain more if the coding is towards a goal you set and you are passionate about. Have a reference book by your side, maybe have Stack overflow open in a web browser, examples of work ready to scan for reference (and syntax issues) and just start I mean that's just common sense isn't it?
I literally just started learning programing with Python, because that's what my programer friend recommended me that I start with. What I want to do though is build like an educational application about the guitar and publish it on my website. Should I actually switch over to Java script from python if Java script can handle webdev as well as building a stand alone application? Or should I stick with Python for building the application and learn Java script separately for webdev? I could actually even ditch the webdev part for a while because I can just email the application to those who buy my app. And by app I don't mean mobile apps. Just a computer program like games and stuff like that. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Honestly I needed this. I graduated from coding bootcamp earlier this year and it’s been so disheartening to be job seeking in this situation. But gotta keep coding and applying, even it’s a little bit a day. Good luck everyone!
Basic functions, abstraction, higher order functions, recursion, tree recursion, data abstraction, trees, mutable sequences, iterators and generators, object oriented programming, classes, class inheritance, linked lists, and mutable trees. Just some basic topics to look into. I’d recommend python3 cause it’s easy to learn in, plus there’s loads of info on python as well videos and projects. Enjoy!
Im so grateful that this video popped up on my homepage cuz it's just what i need rn!!!!!!! Thank u soooo much Mayuko! I love the way u talk. Always has this wholesome vibe lol
I know this is a super old video, but srsly the aesthetic vibes that you give is just a whole another level Also you are a huge inspiration to show that u can code like a human and not everything is about just FAANG (MAANG)
Excellent! "Learning or the sake of it" is a great observation. Some people learn and adapt quickly. But some don't. And for those that do not learn easily could have real trouble learning especially if it's not a current passion or has an alignment with their personal subject matter connections etc. I've been wanting to jump from front end to back end but continuously find myself undecided. Thank you...!!!
I barely started with computer systems engineer and so far I've loved it. Thanks for all the great videos and stay safe Greetings from Guadalajara, México 😁
Thank you! Keeping it small, is probably exactly what I needed to hear...I'm a beginner at this journey, and I had what I wanted mapped out but, the more i looked at it, it seemed further from grasps and rather de-motivating. Also the tips on maintaining accountability with friends is a great idea.
Hi! I decided to jump into learning how to code, and this video gave me motivation, information and energy, so I really thank you for this video. The quality of the content is perfect, it seems like, you are putting real effort into your videos! I wish You a lot of succes and luck!
Mayuko, While I agree wholeheartedly with the project based approach to mastery, I wouldn’t discount the canned tutorials that exist out there. Going to someone who is new to coding and telling them “go build something” is really scary and imposing. What a tutorial will do, at the very least, is give someone a task that they can reproduce where they can see the end product and give them a little encouragement. If someone asked me how to really master something, I would say start by trying to either duplicate something that exists or take a tutorial and make it better by adding a new feature. Anyway, thanks for the video! It’s good to know there are folks in the business who care about the next generation of developers out there.
It is not the same make some programs at school or for your self than working in a software company. My first experience as a intern was really bad, my first task was refactoring an entire project without documentation and any idea of what to do. And after that everything was the same, besides, nobody tells you that most of the time you correct someone else mistakes spending not only hours but days, even weeks working in the same exactly thing just make a button work. And the worse part is that everything you are learning is gonna become obsolete in a few years, this thing is always changing. Programming, more than knowledge, is about intelect and patience. Do not underestimate me, I was really god programming at school and I participated in some competitions with succes. If you are beggining in this just keep that in mind and good luck. Sorry for my punctuation, I'm not a native speaker. Greetings.
In order for me to make coding as fun as possible, I would make text-based games or even mini game engines. I would also take breaks every now and then(I'm a 3D modeler too and planning to make doing art as my main source of income someday).
I know that i want to make games as a carrer, becuase in minecaft i would make a bunch of games i've created or took inpriration from, but having people play and keep asking me to update the games make me so happy. thats why i want to do the same but better.
*(Perfect) practice makes perferct* Don't fall into tutorial hell. Must apply tutorial skills to your own projects. Very very important to connect the learned skills into making new projects, even if your creation is shit, it's important. Watching tutorial only for the sake of it is wrong. Making projects is the real deal. Basic | Fundamentals | Most important 1. How to think logically 2. Data Structure 3. Basic algorithms *Project based learning and Solving problems and Experimenting* - best way to learn. May also increase communication skill. Important tips: 1. Start so small it's stupid not to do it. Do it in chunks. Break down the project into many small pieces and solve/build it little by little. 2. Build for others. Motivation. 3. Work in groups. 4. Have an accountability buddy.
The hard part for me is knowing what kind of project is actually a good level that is not too demanding. I get a little paralyzed by the thought of an idea that ends up being much more than I could handle.
This is an excellent video, Mayuko. Thank you! You have put to words my own personal experience in my journey to becoming a developer. Project based learning is definitely much more effective.
in Indonesia it is 1 p.m., but I am awake from sleep to watch this, for me this is a motivation so that when I graduate I can become as smart as Mayuko😁
A lady told me that she learned Python 🐍 withing 4 days. I mean how...what I believe that, computer languages are like normal language...knowing the grammar and vocab of a language can help us to say something like "I eat food" but it won't help us to write literature, for that we need to practice and assimilate the language...same is for programming I think...although I may be wrong since I am not a cs student

coding is basically:
* stackoverflow
** trying to find the error on line 31;
* stackoverflow;
** a random youtuber showing the error you're trying to solve
* stackoverflow;
So true. Stack overflow helped me more than my college TAs
That's only at the beginning IMO, once you stop sucking you google less :P (I still suck but I google way less now!).
No my friend. You're truly coding when you stop getting your spaghetti from stacked overflow and start making spaghetti all on your own :D
Don’t forget giving up and crying after you fix one error only to have ten more errors
People who share their knowledge and help people's problem are the real MVP

Should I actually switch over to Java script from python if Java script can handle webdev as well as building a stand alone application?
Or should I stick with Python for building the application and learn Java script separately for webdev?
I could actually even ditch the webdev part for a while because I can just email the application to those who buy my app. And by app I don't mean mobile apps. Just a computer program like games and stuff like that.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Honestly I needed this. I graduated from coding bootcamp earlier this year and it’s been so disheartening to be job seeking in this situation. But gotta keep coding and applying, even it’s a little bit a day. Good luck everyone!
You got this!
Learn and start writing code, yes!
do you know Tensorflow or Time series RNN? Salam
I'm binge watching your video and i can say that every video is so short and so precise. I love it
I try! Thank you
@@hellomayuko omg omg omg you replied. I'm crying. Your one of the reasons in making what i will going to persue clear.
Love what you do , Do what you love
How to code
Sit down
Take a deep breath
COOOODE!!!!
Basic functions, abstraction, higher order functions, recursion, tree recursion, data abstraction, trees, mutable sequences, iterators and generators, object oriented programming, classes, class inheritance, linked lists, and mutable trees.
Just some basic topics to look into. I’d recommend python3 cause it’s easy to learn in, plus there’s loads of info on python as well videos and projects. Enjoy!
almost gave up on RPA ...this video helps put me on the right track ... thanks ..
You are such an inspiration for us newcomers ❤️♥️❤️♥️
I watched your films one year ago~
and now! I'm learning Javascript also practice my English level lol
I totally agree with u !!!!!!
Im so grateful that this video popped up on my homepage cuz it's just what i need rn!!!!!!!
Thank u soooo much Mayuko! I love the way u talk. Always has this wholesome vibe lol
Watching your video during quarantine to learn a new skill for a career change ty
I know this is a super old video, but srsly the aesthetic vibes that you give is just a whole another level
Also you are a huge inspiration to show that u can code like a human and not everything is about just FAANG (MAANG)
Good video, Mayuko! As a former-fellow software engineer this all still holds true today.
Excellent!
"Learning or the sake of it" is a great observation. Some people learn and adapt quickly. But some don't. And for those that do not learn easily could have real trouble learning especially if it's not a current passion or has an alignment with their personal subject matter connections etc. I've been wanting to jump from front end to back end but continuously find myself undecided.
Thank you...!!!
Great content! Thanks for the video!
I barely started with computer systems engineer and so far I've loved it. Thanks for all the great videos and stay safe
Greetings from Guadalajara, México 😁

Thank you! Keeping it small, is probably exactly what I needed to hear...I'm a beginner at this journey, and I had what I wanted mapped out but, the more i looked at it, it seemed further from grasps and rather de-motivating. Also the tips on maintaining accountability with friends is a great idea.
Motivation is the most crucial thing for everyone
Hi!
I decided to jump into learning how to code, and this video gave me motivation, information and energy, so I really thank you for this video. The quality of the content is perfect, it seems like, you are putting real effort into your videos! I wish You a lot of succes and luck!
Late to this coding event, pity, this looks great for those who want to build profile, good way for project based learning
Awesome Channel. Great content.
Couldn't agree more that the best place to start is with a small achievable project.
Loved it Mayuko! Some fantastic advice for newbies
Thank you for the gift of you and pointing me to brilliant.org
Thank you mayuko! You really helped me get out of tutorials loop
Mayuko, While I agree wholeheartedly with the project based approach to mastery, I wouldn’t discount the canned tutorials that exist out there. Going to someone who is new to coding and telling them “go build something” is really scary and imposing. What a tutorial will do, at the very least, is give someone a task that they can reproduce where they can see the end product and give them a little encouragement. If someone asked me how to really master something, I would say start by trying to either duplicate something that exists or take a tutorial and make it better by adding a new feature. Anyway, thanks for the video! It’s good to know there are folks in the business who care about the next generation of developers out there.
i swear i came to this vid to know about coding but i can't focus on anything except your flawless skin.. please i need your skincare routine queen:((
It is not the same make some programs at school or for your self than working in a software company. My first experience as a intern was really bad, my first task was refactoring an entire project without documentation and any idea of what to do. And after that everything was the same, besides, nobody tells you that most of the time you correct someone else mistakes spending not only hours but days, even weeks working in the same exactly thing just make a button work. And the worse part is that everything you are learning is gonna become obsolete in a few years, this thing is always changing. Programming, more than knowledge, is about intelect and patience. Do not underestimate me, I was really god programming at school and I participated in some competitions with succes. If you are beggining in this just keep that in mind and good luck.
Sorry for my punctuation, I'm not a native speaker. Greetings.
I just started on freecodecamp and I’m really enjoying it
In order for me to make coding as fun as possible, I would make text-based games or even mini game engines. I would also take breaks every now and then(I'm a 3D modeler too and planning to make doing art as my main source of income someday).
Great content. Keep up the good work Mayuko!
Thank you soo much for these tips because I'm a person who takes in so much of input but I never practice them so Thanks alot!
Your the best mayuko, I've learned a lot a shared a lot of ur videos with my buddies
My resume which got me in to Google and Facebook
I know that i want to make games as a carrer, becuase in minecaft i would make a bunch of games i've created or took inpriration from, but having people play and keep asking me to update the games make me so happy. thats why i want to do the same but better.
Practice makes progress
*(Perfect) practice makes perferct*
Don't fall into tutorial hell.
Must apply tutorial skills to your own projects. Very very important to connect the learned skills into making new projects, even if your creation is shit, it's important.
Watching tutorial only for the sake of it is wrong.
Making projects is the real deal.
Basic | Fundamentals | Most important
1. How to think logically
2. Data Structure
3. Basic algorithms
*Project based learning and Solving problems and Experimenting* - best way to learn. May also increase communication skill.
Important tips:
1. Start so small it's stupid not to do it. Do it in chunks. Break down the project into many small pieces and solve/build it little by little.
2. Build for others. Motivation.
3. Work in groups.
4. Have an accountability buddy.
The hard part for me is knowing what kind of project is actually a good level that is not too demanding. I get a little paralyzed by the thought of an idea that ends up being much more than I could handle.
Love your content mayuko!
Thanks for motivated me 😉 as a woman, I am more enthusiastic for developing my skills,knowledge about coding and new technologies. 🙏🙏 Big thanks
This is an excellent video, Mayuko. Thank you! You have put to words my own personal experience in my journey to becoming a developer. Project based learning is definitely much more effective.
My trumpet teacher in high school used to tell me that “perfect practice makes perfect”
Thanks, Mayuko! You've been such a great inspiration for me :)
do you know Tensorflow or Time series RNN?
in Indonesia it is 1 p.m., but I am awake from sleep to watch this, for me this is a motivation so that when I graduate I can become as smart as Mayuko😁
Thank you for the awesome video! This is incredibly spot on. Now to stop procrastinating and get back to coding...
do you know Tensorflow or Time series RNN? Salam
From the PH, Informational and creative.
Amazing words, and the approach to give information. Thank you.
Surround yourself with TALENTED people and LISTEN to what they have to say. Glad to have one #Mayuko
A lady told me that she learned Python 🐍 withing 4 days. I mean how...what I believe that, computer languages are like normal language...knowing the grammar and vocab of a language can help us to say something like "I eat food" but it won't help us to write literature, for that we need to practice and assimilate the language...same is for programming I think...although I may be wrong since I am not a cs student
Great Video Mayuko! I love it❤
