A few people have pointed out when I said I don't like making UA-cam videos. What I mean by this is the process. It is an incredible amount of fun to open up twitch and just stream. I have always enjoyed it. But UA-cam, I have to plan, write, and record. It's a long process. And I can't learn something, it's only the explanation of what I've learned.
So yes, they are not fun to make. But I don't think they're supposed to be fun to make. They're the culmination of having fun and the end product I enjoy
get an intern to edit ur VODs into 10 min clips. or even better start primeagen university and have people market it for u, Regardless, beautiful video and so happy for u ;')))))
Maybe you can make a tool (side project) that helps you? One more new video AND it helps for all future videos! Like your cht.sh script
You are one of my favourite tech UA-camrs, probably because your videos are fun, so I hope making them does become fun for you and that you keep doing it. Always looking forward to your uploads!
What about streaming on youtube? So it will automatically keep a video of your stream. Us, your target audience, can watch your streams for hours, so you wouldn't need to spend any extra time doing cuts and such. If monetizacion is an issue with youtube, maybe doing a simultaneus stream on YT and Twitch can work.
It's time to open a patreon or similar, hire someone to do video editing and other boring stuff, and work full time to produce the same contents we all have enjoyed so far. You are producing contents in a field where nobody else is really shining (just boring tutorials). I bet you could do this as primary job for at least two decades and earn much more than your actual salary. Someone has to be the first celebrity-developer-influencer in this era. And I'm not even telling you how much we will enjoy that.
Sorry for the eye sweat
damn onions.
All good, keep it real, speak about it. And although it's hard to believe when you look into the camera, but there is someone on the other side! All 100k of us 😁
No dude you're awesome. 💗
I appreciate the realness. I think it's admirable to be open about heavy things in life.
You're awesome, I understand you.
I got emotional at then end.. I really respect what are you doing and be sure that we always like to have you!
I used to call him papa prime, now it has even more meaning ;_;
yeah, I dropped some tears too
Im so sorry Primeagen for what you went through, thank you so much for making the awesome content for us 🙏
In some sense it's for me, but 15 years ago me
@@ThePrimeagen I feel this. Never had a dad in my life, so the motivation to push through and be better is that much more intense. Luckily we all eatin good now!
@@RafiesAwesomeChannel I had one, but instead of helping me, he competed against me all the time. Prime and I must have more or less the same age, so he's more like a friend teaching me a perspective into life and work I had not been exposed before by anyone, specially my male role-models, who all worked hard, but always felt, and made everyone around them, miserable.
Hit me in the feels real hard. Thanks for everything you do
That ending caught me off guard. You're a Senior to us all Primeagen! Thank you for the great content once again :)
thank you bud. I am old and will bring that old fossil wisdom
I was in I.T. before I began watching your content, now I'm a SE1, you definitely kept me motivated and helped me believe in myself.
That is so awesome!!!!
You're still in IT mate, sde is not a fuckn medicine
@@recursion. dev != IT; spread your bile elsewhere (or don't would be better)
@@recursion. 'I.T.' has a connotation of sys admins, help desk, server admin type jobs. SE != IT
@@simbadlemarin1815 IT is information technology, software engineering is literally a sub topic of IT, maybe not in casual conversation, but it still is, system administrator is also just a sub in IT
I’m mesmerised how you just shared all that stuff, my father also was an alcoholic and my mother is in a mental hospital since I’m young. what you have achieved is really inspiring, you motivate me to do the same, big respect ✊
Ty man and sorry for that. I cannot imagine not having my mom. I hope you get to the level you want
Your streams / videos always make me smile and feel inspired, thanks for being a good role model for everyone out here ❤
we out here trying! thank you for the nice message
Spitting some truth right there!
I'm an awful programmer, but I absolutely love just building whatever the hell I want.
Hey, you're an inspiration to software engineers like me who've been burnt out in chasing higher TC. Recently I've started a side project for fun and currently having a fulfilling experience, thanks to you!
Amazing work you do man! Giving back, giving what you didn't have as a younger guy!
You act as a cool mentor with this content.
Not only is it educational it is also massively entertaining. The memes in between the information makes watching everything you produce a joy.
Keep up the great work
From a fellow software engineer.
Genuinely appreciate that. And I'm happy that the entertainment and education ratio is working. It's what would have worked for me.
Hey, man. Your contents definitely have an impact to someone else's life.
I've been in a shitty year of not really wanting to code.
I became the only guy with senior engineering position in my company for a team with >15 members.
I felt lost, not knowing what's done right and what could be better.
However, after discovering your UA-cam channel, I got a life lesson from a senior engineer.
It's what I've always wanted in my 4 years of software engineering journey.
I stopped chasing perfection and focus on prioritizing work. Do just enough, but don't slack off on testing.
Thanks a lot, Primeagen.
So much respect for you. Boys growing up do need positive role models. For you to go through all that, turn that all around to become an awesome role model not just for your kids, but thousands - millions? - of people.... that's something else 😭
Oh shucks
You’re amazing man. Thank you for what you do making engineering fun again
That ending caught me off guard, especially since I also lost my father when I was 10.
I got introduced to you through Aaron (Francis) and at first I only saw the memes but you manage to produce great *and fun* content. You’re definitely an inspiration, especially as a creator.
Thank you and keep up the good work!
Not going to lie to you, that ending caught me off guard too. I was just trying to speak from the heart
Hey dude, this will probably get buried but you’ve been a massive inspiration in my initial stages of this line of work and continues to help be push forward and always remember why I got into this industry, coz making stuff is So Much Fun! So even though you’ve been stealth your fair share of bad luck, you’re blessing me and other with a lot of positive good vibes and inspiration. So keep it up and know that you’re very much appreciated
you are welcome my friend. I do try to read every comment so it did not get buried :)
You and Jeff are two main reasons why millions of lost and burnt out devs have come to their senses. We found fun, thrill and entertainment watching your content, giving us the motivation to work on what we want to work on not because we've to work on
I'm glad to have found you and your channel, you are an inspiration and motivation for many of us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart
Hey Prime. So sorry to hear about your past. I too had an alcoholic father, who didn't rise me, so I know the feeling of not having a role model. Your content is definetly helping people and I really appreciate what you do. Keep up the great work! ❤
4:13 Dang, same here, my dad died when I was 12, that was 2 years after my mother left him (taking myself and 2 older brothers with her) due primarily to his apparent lack of ability to bring home the bacon (had a masters degree in music ministry). He followed his heart, but that didn't lead to the money. Money sucks, but it's necessary for life. My father is actually what motivates me though, I love and respect him, but I do not want to end up like him. This is why for the past 2 years, I've sacrificed my early mornings, evenings, weekends, and vacation time (had to work full time through it all) to learn SE. I'm finally at a place where I can build full and useful applications, and will begin the job search in the coming weeks. I took the slow route to mastery (launch school), and though its taken longer, I'm glad I did.
I was on my razor's edge leaning back and forth between ministry and software engineering.
Obviously I will never know your life, but if you love and respect your dad that is amazing. I will never understand or know that relationship, but I will be that for my kids.
Great respect for you and pushing through and becoming an SE
@@ThePrimeagen Wow, thank you for taking the time out of, what I imagine is a very busy day for you, to reply to me. You will be even better for your kids. I am 36 now, and its taken me my entire adult life to figure out some of what I see in younger men who have had dad's through their whole childhood/adolescence. It can make such a difference just having a dad who cares around for it all.
Your work does not go unappreciated! Thanks for the help Primeagen.
I personally like your style. Especially the way you do everything you cover on the channel.
You make it personal and special.
Like you said, you make it really fun.
Keep up the good work ThePrimeagen and thanks for creating such great content.
Yeah yeah buddy. Appreciate that
Yes, I definitely felt lost. I learned like 6 programming languages but I felt like I didn't had enough to "get a job". And I was following the hypes that every tech youtubers say "Oh you should learn this language" or "this language is dead" . At this point, I don't even know what the hell I want to do. I also had this inferior complex (or whatever you call it) when I watch pro-programmers code and feel "well i will never be able to do this".
After 2 years of wasting time, I discover a youtuber/streamer called Tsoding (also discovered theprimeagen funnily at the same time). His recreational programming sessions are just pure gold to me. The thing that I like about him is that he rarely talk about making money which I like. He just having fun build something fun or learning new stuff he didn't know with his audience. He just code. He just have fun!
Also, you, Prime, you are the father I never had . I truly respect your advice and suggestions. I gotta tell, watching you guys genuinely don't feel depressed or "inferior". Instead, I am just motivated to become a good programmer like you (if not better, who knows) .
Btw, make sure you check him out :)
Of course I know him! He is one of the original programmer streamers. I think he even has been doing it longer than me
Thank you for sharing man! Your ideas of "if you do something, you should try to be great at it and always improve" have stuck with me since I started watching your stuff. (Plus I started using Dvorak because of you which literally stopped all my hand pain when writing, drastically improved my writing speed and obviously those oily vim skills.) Huge thank you Primeagen!
Hey! Huge win on the hand pain. That stuff sucks. Its why I switched too.
Also, love to hear that you are adopting the pursuitists (just made that up) mentality
Man you’re something special….thank you for sharing. As someone who lost their dad in my early 20’s due to cancer it’s both reassuring to know others had it harder as well as knowing things will be OK. You rock 🤟
It's sad how spot on you are. My team are so serious about chasing perfection, when in reality half of their code is awful - it makes the job so tiring. Thanks for making fun programming content 🙏
:)
The only time I worked for a company where I could consider the code base "perfect" was my previous job but it was only because the CTO was also a founder of the company and made sure everything was done properly and dedicated time to pay back previous tech debt. He really cared about the code base.
Lots of people have good intentions when they want to do something right, but they forget that to reach the point of doing it right you first gotta do it regardless of whether it's right or not. And do it many times over.
I get that problem all the time in my job. I'm scared of tampering, scared of breaking things up, because I'm new and every time my code doesn't work feels like the interpreter is throwing personal insults at me.
Thanks, Prime. This resonates really well. I've felt lost with my work and where to head next. I just do work but I want to do more. You inspired me to pick up a new project just for myself and purely for my own enjoyment. Great work!
Pretty much the only technical content which is fun to watch. No matter if it's just chilling on the stream or get educated with you on youtube.
Keep up the great work man!
thanks man! I really appreciate it. I really actually do, i am not just typing this out here. Its hard to do these things and to know you are chillin off on the stream, being encouraged is awesome.
Thank you for everything you do. I found your Frontend Masters content and Twitch streams recently. After a bit of a rut, you definitely have re-ignited the spark in me, and made programming fun again. Appreciate you.
Thanks for making this vid specifically-in addition to all the other content. It's refrehsing to see genuine emotional vulnerability paired with a fun-loving personality like yourself, and I think that combination is something that we can always use more of, especially us "guys" who didn't always have the best role models.
You sir are a legend, always speaking the truth. Im sorry for what you went through in your youth! I hope all of the positive comments put a smile on your face 😊
Thanks man, you are very inspiring. I was trying to build “the perfect project to impress other people” and forgot that I do this because I love to build stuff. It stressed me trying to be the best and make things so perfect. So now... I will build projects for myself, for fun. I will build what I want to build.
Prime, your commitment and extraordinary positivity are truly enjoyable. It is a blast to hang out on your twitch stream, puts a smile on my face every single time.
Keep having fun and sharing those great vibes !
Well I for one have just stumbled on your vids in the past few months and absolutely love the UA-cam side of it. I’m not a huge Twitch person so I appreciate you spending the time grinding down in the content farm for the youtube people
Thank you for being vulnerable. Respect to you.
Man, I was just talking to my brother yesterday telling him that recently I've been watching your videos, and studying more, and programming have been fun! Now I watch your video and see that you intended to help specifically with that hahaha. Thank you very much, I know the effort to record all this, but you're helping a lot of people, and I'm one of them. Thanks! (If someday I got a job at netflix I'll thank you personally hahahaha)
Tytyty!!!
you spoke to exactly where i'm at right now, said what i needed to hear, and really respect your openness at the end. already appreciated you for your work with FEM. thank you
Love you man, love the honesty. Btw I genuinely envy your ability to just go before the public and be your goofy self, it's fantastic. Keep it up
Hello Prime.
I just have to say I really appreciated when you was talking about your life (and your dad). Everything you said is true. My father also died (or I found him) when I was just around 4 years old. And growing up with only my addicted mother, a male/father figure or somebody to listen to is damn important. Having struggled with a LOT of addiction myself, I don’t blame anyone, but some people are just handled a bad hand from the very get-go. And you have to turn some of your struggles into something positive you can use in your life. Everything people/teachers told me was a problem when I was young/kid, are now my strongest advantages. but again, it’s really really important to have someone there. I’m now a pretty happy dude from Norway, 36 years old, father of 3 beautiful kids, and been sober for around 10-11 years. I really enjoy watching your streams/lives.
Cheers!
This resonates with me so much. I remember being so passionate about programming. The journey to learn was incredible, showing people everyday what I built, personal projects, learning better architecture etc. Soon as I got an actual job, which was 3 years ago, I slowly lost it all. Now I'm just programming for the sake of the job, getting things done because of the Sprints deadline. I had so many plans to building apps and eventually monetizing them and having my own small company. I guess it's hard when converting a passion to a job. I do well, I support my family and live a comfortable life, but code doesn't excite me anymore because I made it that way. I really loved watching this video, it kinda reminded me why I started this journey. I still love doing this and I will make it fun again! I'm sorry for what you went through, thank you for this video!
I've been loving your videos and you're one of the main reasons I really want to keep this love of programming. I really appreciate it!
King!!!! Literally more motivational than every self help book on amazon!
Super appreciate your content Prime - I started watching mid 2020 and it really got me enjoying and learning more beyond what I do coding related on a day-to-day, whether that was configuring vim or exploring new languages. It's helped me come a long way!
Love to hear it
i genuinely enjoy your content. really like your tlc while building machines with ideas. thank you.
Thanks. Appreciate ya
I've been low key watching you on yt (sadly skipping streams) and I just want to say that I'm very appreciative of you role in dev and neovim community and Thank you so much for your work, it really means a lot for a lot of ppl out there Hopefully one day this process's financial gain increases to the point you just have to leave netflix and we could have you full-time. ❤️
Yea, and you are really helping us in so many ways. In my case I was stuck, just working all day long, didn't have energy and desire to do anything beside work. It was painful. Watched few your videos like this one and everything changed. Now I have few sh%#ty projects I'm working on, having fun. I may never finish them, but I don't give f... Learned new things. Just wanna say your "mission" is real deal. Thanks!
Prime is so big brained that he just explained to me why I watch his stream. I never actually realized why I watch his streams/UA-cam. Keep it going big guy!
Man you're the one who got me into vim into early 2021, and also into mechanical keyboards. You made me find fun outside of engineering itself, by having my terminal as my IDE, and tweaking my vim experience.
You can be proud of your work here, you actually changed my (and I'm sure, others') daily work environment, for the fucking best.
Thanks for everything, dude.
Dude! Pumped to hear that
I was beginning to burn out and I’ve been enjoying your videos immensely. Now I know why… your heart is in the right place (on >1 level).
Enjoying my vim journey! Thank you!
Hey, man you are amazing and i love your content but what hit me the most is the end part because i needed what you were talking about and with your streams help i actually landed a good job and you are like such a big inspiration on my life, thanks man!
We have been talking about this at work recently. Making things fun and, more importantly, enjoyable is something most of us have lost and we need to bring it back.
I've mentioned your streams and has started generating some ideas. I used to try and phrase this as creating minimum viable products and I think that was the right idea but phrased wrong. MVP makes it sound like work and you don't want that when you are training new colleges, you want it to be fun!
In high school we used to do crazy things and put ridiculous constraints on things. Like, we had a Demo competition with to categories: 20x25 and 40x25 text mode. People went crazy in all the best ways. I remember many of us doing graphics constantly rewriting fonts and one guy made a bat file animation that was 6 minutes long! I want more crazy shit!
Loved this TED-talk!
Also, I just love my managers face when he asks "cool, when will you deploy this?" and we say "oh, my god! never!"
There's definitely something there. There is definitely something about creating something that captivates your interest and your team is excited about that causes huge momentum
Great video. You're one of my favourite engineering folks I'm subscribed to, mostly because too much of my subscriptions are in the realm of tutorials, education, and training and you provide content that is more along the pure fun, general discussions type route which is what I'm really after - it's also because you're completely nuts and I totally vibe with that. TOKIOOO!
Major respect to the last bit of the video. Sometimes it's good to get all weird and real. I haven't had the smoothest upbringing and I know a lot of people are in similar boats so that talk was really appreciated. Big virtual bro hugs and I'll try to comment more (I'm too lazy but I need to stop lurkin'). ❤
So glad you put in the effort, it's super motivating and has helped reignite that passion I once had for programming. Thank you
Great to hear!
You’re an absolutely awesome human being. Please keep doing what you’re doing.
I really appreciate your content.
I feel so bad whenever I try to make something but because of the intense overwhelming feeling of just not knowing things and not knowing how to learn the things I need to make it happen. I just end up pushing on and on to no progress and give up because of anxiety.
I think your content has been really helpful as you said, it is clear that you are having fun with your work and sometimes I just forget that it can be fun to learn and discover rather than have the attitude that I am stupid and incompetent for not knowing or understanding x, y and z.
I think I just need a different perspective and some perseverance to finally start something and see it to the end rather than wallow in despair at the first roadblock.
Thank you Mr. Primeagen. I think your energy was something that was greatly missing from the yuotube/twitch programming scene.
P.S. I have been using neovim only for the past 5 months thanks to you haha.
Hio!!! Thanks for the message. And I'm happy that you feel the excitement
Thank you for what you're doing, these videos are inspiring for older folks too, not to mention that I always learning something.
You are a gem in my 900+ odd subscriptions. Always enjoy watching your videos. Thank you for making awesome content
Wow @ThePrimeagen, I really appreciate your willingness to be vulnerable and share your struggles! May you find peace of mind.
Shout out to you and thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and making us laugh whilst doing it.
I don't know if this is just a coincidence or fate, But I am literally going through "coding depression" right now, you know that feeling of not being able to get things right despite being a coder for years, you feel like complete shit, all the years they feel wasted, you could've been doing something else, your life feels meaningless.
But thank you, thank you so much for reminding me why I started in the first place, I started doing it because of mobile apps, sounds boring but to young me the idea of being able to have my own app that others can use was mind boggling and getting feedback on my crappy apps made me feel like a god, I remember I would code 12 hours straight on weekends because thats the only time I used to get free.
Nowadays I feel like I don't code for the high of it, I get too invested in nit-picking small things that I start hating it. So thank you again, this video is the kick that I needed.
Last but not least, I am sorry to hear about your father, but good on you for not letting the circumstances get better of you.
They got me for a bit but I got the wake up call I needed.
I hope that you find joy again. Often it's not in work that joy comes from. Mine is from many places but originates from quitting meth/porn by the grace of God. All life is better than that :) stay safe and seek joy my friend
I relate to this so much. Thank you for sharing this man. You've made a difference in a week where I really needed some inspiration.
Realness +100 points! Congratulations, you have been promoted to my favourite UA-camr now! Seriously thank you for putting all of this work into UA-cam especially knowing that you prefer to stream on Twitch!
Your content is what I've been looking for in the tech scene for a long time, you always manage to strike the perfect balance between joyful content and being serious. Making it always fun and intriguing to watch no matter what you do. Keep up the good work, whenever I see you go live or post a video it always brings a smile to my face
Thank you for getting personal there at the end. That seems like a really common experience, at least it was for me, and it is nice to see people talking about it and normalizing dealing with trauma.
Thank you for your content and your vulnerability . You are inspiring.
I cannot stress this enough. I've been quarantined for almost my whole 2021 because of the pandemic situation in my country and I could've fallen into some serious depression if not for your vids. I managed to turn that around and be great at vim/nvim while developing side projects on the side just for fun so thank you, Prime!
Vido came just the right time. I was feeling very demotivated with job. You make good stuff man. Thanks.
Incredible work! You have helped me to continue to be excited about this field. Thank you so much.
Thanks for this man. Made me cry. Whenever I mention you to my wife she knows who I’m talking about because I call you “my hero” lol maybe cheesy pero like love you homes ❤
Your dev hour with Thorsten really inspired me. I bought the interpreter book. Been really enjoying learning that, and go better in the process. I appreciate the content man, i know it's tough to make time for it
A new subscriber to your channel! Huge respect for you, and man I do feel like I need someone like you to be there and show me how fun engineering can be. For someone like me who have recently switched career to become a web developer through self-study, your videos are very motivational and fun to watch. They keep me excited about learning new things, building stuff, and growing as a developer in general!!
Thank you~
I just want to thank you for the effort what You putting into the streams.
I got a lot of inspirations. I learned the neovim, lua and mechanics keyboards stufs because of You. And got enjoyed them. It's keeping me to not burning out, when I have to work on shit tasks... Thanks.
Really didn't expect it to get so serious. You're an inspiration, I respect that you haven't let adversity define you. I appreciate the underlying point of the video too - been watching you follow your own advice with the arduino content
Just discovered you recently, and I'll say you definitely helped bring a bit of joy back into my job. So thank you.
Big fan of you as a person. Keep up the good work man. The backstory hit me more than I was expecting but it's even better knowing you came from a dark place and was able to make yourself into something great.
Thanks for sharing! That is exactly the crisis I'm in at the moment. The routine at work is killing my motivation and I'm too tired from work to start my own projects, a vicious circle. That has to stop and I need to deal with it like you said until it is not too late
Thank you so much Prime. I was a Sysadmin interested into DevOps but seeing your videos and enthusiasm have pursued me to pickup programming again and now I want to be a developer primarily because I want to build my own solutions and things with IoT at home and have some fun with some robots. Job is a secondary thing 😊
You are everything you mentioned. All I really watch on youtube is dev videos and I look forward to yours the most, why? Because your videos/streams are FUN!
I became a split keyboard, nvim user all because of you. You made vim seem like so much fun, and it is!
Now it so much fun just moving around while programming, its also fun screen sharing with others and them just be like "how did you copy that word without highlighting it?"
Its vim baby!
Keep up the videos, but dont feel too pressured to put content out all the time. We will still be here if you ever need a break.
Truly an inspiration man! Thank you so much. You really make amazing content.
Since I started watching your streams I made it a habit to learn new skills and work on personal projects on a constant basis. Also started using i3, wrote some custom scripts to improve workflow etc.. thank you :)
All good things. But are you enjoying it
@@ThePrimeagen Yes :) Only only thing I didn't enjoy was using neovim as my main IDE so switched from VS Code back to Sublime text but with vim mode enabled and wrote some custom sublime packages in python for some custom commands I wanted and it works well. I still use neovim but only for basic text editing. One feature I liked was telescope so I created a dedicated i3 workspace that always has a global fzf search open (with a cronjob that automatically creates a search index and dumps it into a txt file to increase speed), text preview which opens any line selected in sublime.. has really improved workflow for my day job.
You're the motivation behind my desire to grow a mustache. Because nothing embodies fun more than a mustache, hooded sweatshirt, and headphones do! Love the content & thank you!
You’re such an amazing persona on the programming world, thanks for existing
Thanks for being so open about yourself. Felt this a lot. First of all all the best for your own journey.
I feel like Always getting depressed in choosing technologies and sometimes feel like never really arriving at engineering as some article or video says this technology is trash and you shouldn’t use it. And constantly learning new things is awesome but also frustrating because you feel like never really knowing anything. Even if you spend year and night over nights doing nothing else. But puzzle parts are missing to make the right decisions.
Thank you so much Prime!!
You are the motivation to a hell lot of people like me who've just started their career in the engineering..🌟
I think what you just said in this video is pretty noble, it requires a lot o empathy to put yourself into a position where you could help others in the way you can, and let me tell you, we are all grateful with you. I feel like your youtube content has positively impacted so many lives, specially because it also exposes how to be better humans while growing professionally. Shout-outs to yourself and your family for letting us enjoy all of this!
Wow, thanks for sharing man. It must've been tough for you. Please know that you've inspired me.
Your vim-fugitive content will always stuck inside my head (in a good way).
Cheers!
I was working for a oil & gas company where I was the only software engineer there and my experience there really killed the fun I was having with programming prior. Due to the fact I was in charge of building things from the ground up I had to figure out what the employees needed/ wanted transforming that into technical requirements, architect the infrastructure, architect the database for storing the information, managing the DevOps pipelines, reverse engineering SAP DB to accurately obtain the data from the ERP staging database for the webapp, design the GUI and then code and not to also mention some sort of testing. I quit in April and had a 2 month break from it all... I watched your videos, and Theo's since end of May. It has ignited the fun again 🔥 of it all. Rebuilt from the ground up my roofing management system for a small company for a v2.0 and the amount of fun I had was there again. Now I'm working to improve my problem solving when it comes to Data Structures & Algorithms because I have been having trouble with the technical aspect of interviews... Keep it up 🙏 you work has inspired me to keep going and be entertained with coding content. Thank you! God Bless!
You’re an inspiration, we all appreciate the honesty all the things you do
thank you for what you upload it has truly brought my ability to code and wanting to improve what i do to another level. you are the best.
Definitely worth all your effort, very helpful. Shit falling from the sky around but I keep pushing forward.
I don't usually post, but I just want to thank you sincerely for your videos. I've been going through an extremely rough patch and I feel the fog clearing. I hope you're doing well. Thank you so much for all you do.
Appreciate you man, learned a lot from you already, and you do it in a fun way that sticks.
Just to let you know that you are amazing as a role model and I really like your sensible and wise opinions (which for the most part I don't think are hot takes at all e.g. the motivation one). You make awesome content with an amazing energy, that truly brings me joy and makes me feel excited to belong to the software engineer / dev / bytes alchemy / programmer tribe. I hope you keep doing it 🚀Thank you ThePrimeagen!
Great motivation! Your impact to community have no price! Thanks for all that you are doing!
very raw very real, appreciate the content
Lots lots of love man!
Appreciate your very honest & raw messages.
Lots of people need to hear your messages!
Take care of you and the ones around you!
Bruh, I'm not a programmer, but I take a stab and enjoy it so much. I feel like your videos connect with me. Right now I'm a VP and I bear a lot of stress, and I find that on the rare occasion that I get to do a project that I'm so much happier. Thank you for doing this.
I started watching you because of your Vim content. It was only recently that I realised that you are providing so much more to me as a developer and a dude. Thank you! (:
imo, having fun while "working" is THE BEST lesson you can learn when it comes to actually being the best at your job. Love you Prime you mean so much to me. I get to just watch your stream nd chill. dont force yourself to make others happy tho on stream, ppl change by themselves, just enjoy streaming cuz we love ya
Firm handshake
