- I created this video for those asking the titular question of how to become a software engineer. Sometimes the best way is to learn is from someone else's story. So here's mine. Also if you're based in NYC there may be an opportunity available for you here!

Being a Software Engineer is a life style :) I am doing coding for almost 20 years and I am still learning so it is never ending story :)
You're absolutely right!
how much do you earn?
Me?
Coming from making wedding films and into the data analytics world and now just getting my feet wet in front in dev, these videos are inspiring. I can appreciate the editing of the film as well as the knowledge you're dropping. Keep it up!
Hey man! I'm so glad that I found your videos. I'm currently a 7th grader in New Jersey studying Python from sketchy websites and UA-cam. I've wanted to become a software engineer, and you inspire me everyday to keep pursuing what I want to be. Thank you.
Edit: (may 16, 2023) I am trying to pursue my dream of being a software engineer and entrepreneur at the same time, I am working hard! Thank you for all your support,
Hey, do you have a social media account? (discord, instagram, facebook, etc) I wish I could talk to you in some way xD
Bruh!!!😬
@@thedevotedkrap keep pushing bro. dont waste no time.
@@nigerianskills1919 Thanks bro.
@@thedevotedkrap yeah man! My Instagram is @the_engineer202 , I'm an open book! Feel free to reach out 💪🏾
This video is sick man. Amazing editing, thank you for the story. Hoping to break through into the scene soon as well!
Thanks man!
Please keep telling your story, I legit felt like I was watching a movie!! You have so much talent, and you’re an inspiration!!
Thank you!! 🙏🏾
Great video, loved the storytelling aspect. It's inspiring to see more people who look like me in tech. 🤝
I find your videos entertaining AND informative. ☺️ I really enjoy them. Thanks for creating !
Thanks for watching!
bro love this, keep it going
Planning on leaving college since 3months ago, now I feel like I get more motivated to keep going on pursuing career in tech.
Same
You are a great storyteller. Just starting to break into the tech world after years of working in retail industry. Wish me luck!
Thank you so much man! And best of luck to you 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Very cool editing ! Subbed
Your channel is such an insporation to me as a teen looking to follow a path of web development. This channel has made me feel safe and educated. Thanks!
There's something about the way you narrate your videos and the music you pick to go with them. You now what you're doing bro. Keep up the entertaining work.
Thank you so much bro! 🤟🏾
FIRE 🔥 video fam! Thank you!
Thanks!!!🙏🏾
Amazing content bro!!
Your videos are so positive blessings to you.
Thank you so much!
Great video, keep going
Hey Devonte, I’m a nyc based aspiring software engineer and I just wanted to come back to this vid and thank you for making this video I happened to see the day before the early application deadline for Marcy lab. I applied and interviewed and all that and will be joining the Marcy lab school in September! Your story is inspiring and I hope I have a very similar story a year from now.
YEOOOO congratulations man 🙏🏾 I'm definitely looking forward to seeing you flourish in tech 💪🏾 good luck on your journey
Thanks for your help love you love you bro
Thank you bro bro for this! My lifelong dream is to be a software engineer, and this fall I start my freshmen year as a computer science major. Keep up the good work!
Love love this video and what Marcylab is doing. I would love to attend this college and get to my dream of becoming a software engineer but I am Dubai
You could always learn using just books and the internet. It's much harder but I wouldn't give up so easy. Neither should you!
@@doseofdevy Hey man, do you have a social media account that I can contact you from? I'm currently learning coding and software engineering. I'd love to talk to you sometime.
I would recommend recording the audio interview in stereo or at least mono, it was certainly annoying. thanks in advance for the inspo, I am really going through a difficult time trying to get this idea that I can not learn code out of my head, this is my dream, I want a better life.
I only realized it was one sided after I re-watched with headphones, sorry about that man. I'm definitely going to make a video about how to learn how to code!
This video is inspired me I want to be a software engineer
This looks like one of BFordLancer soccer videos....Very nice concept sir
1:29 i don't think there would be ever a situation where you have to make a proper decision for the rest of your life buddy. you can change anything at anytime. it's never too late
True but the world we live in is not very forgiving when you make the wrong choices
I enjoyed this thoroughly. Well presented. Good on you brother! Keep going.
Thank you!
Wow Reuben Ogbonna is of same city and same tribe with me He’s Igbo I’m happy for you bruh🧑💻
Are there any plans to make Marcy labs online courses? I live in Chicago and I cant go to new york to assist in campus
Edit: great vid btw!!! Found my self a great mentor
Hey, I love your video! I got a question: can you be in the Marcy Lab School and be in college at the same time? Like a dual-enrollment? Because I am happy in my college but at the same time, I would love to explore the depths of the Marcy Lab School for more knowledge.
Unfortunately they don't allow anyone to do both at the same time being that the workload at Marcy would be way to much to balance with anything else. It's a full-time commitment. I'd recommend taking a gap year to do Marcy!
Thanks for watching man!
I like you dude. I dont even know you but I'm proud of you.
Damn… thank you man 💪🏾
@@doseofdevy about to start my coding journey. Few interviews this week with 3 boot camps. Don’t know what to expect but I need some change asap from help desk
Good luck man! You got this 💪🏾
For those who don’t live in NYC is there another program you may know that is online
fireeeee
Devonte you gotta put me on to editing game dawg 😮💨👌🏾🔥
Maybe one day I'll do a tutorial lol
Daily reminder to be relentless.
The cinematics, quality, storyline - fire 🔥🔥
While this is a great opportunity, it’d be so nice if they opened up for a wider range of ages. Love your content though!
My dream was to get into remodeling homes and flipping homes, but I kind of got injured and it’s alot of labor that I physically can’t do everyday. Now I’m really considering doing software engineering, I’ve always been a computer person. I live in CT and I’m not sure where to start to get directly into software engineering.
Most of employers requires BC in CS or related. So go to community college for a cheap degree. However, do not forget that you should learn on your own way more as college demand from you.
Cool!
Storytelling is fire keep it up🔥🔥
I definitely will!
Great video, by the way, do you know another school like that that's in different state?
Hey sorry man I'm not too familiar with schools in other states
Instantly subbed. I love the Engineering field, and your videos are enlightening, I'm 21 but I want to learn hands-on Software Engineering, and professional skills while im young, with or without college. can anyone join Marcy with great outlooks for the future in tech?
Thanks for the sub! Also yes, anyone can join Marcy provided they're eligible! The curriculum is pretty thorough so I'd say likelihood of success is pretty high. Visit the website in the description for more information!
@@doseofdevy Thank you, ill check it out!
Hi quick question can you join marcy labs after highschool i am 19 now and do you have to go to nyc in person or can you do online .
Yeah you can join after highschool, unfortunately you do have to go to NY in person
I wanna tell you something. I am in 10th in India rn and I'm currently learning Java cuz thats my school's syllabus, and Learning and Practicing HTML CSS JavaScript everyday. I'm not a really bright student though I'm like a 70% marks guy. I've always wanted to be a software/web developer anywhere in NYC. What do I need to do and what am I doing wrong?
Seriously. Education should be free. The world would literally be a better place if it was.
Education is free but not degree
@@DsenseItIs depends what type of education, in usa the education is really good. In europe, it's really bad
@@Rayzur99 👍
Education is free in a lot of places, even college level education.
@@Rayzur99 whats the point of having a bunch of extremely good universities if only a handful of very privileged people get to enjoy them. Im not saying such schools shouldn’t exist, they are great centers of education, research and investigation. But there should be also lots of free or economical universities for the vast majority of people. Who cares if the education there is not as good as in Harvard. Its not like most people are at the level Harvard students are, and probably most people wouldn’t be able to follow up a class in such institutions
Hey Devy, I know this channel I'm on has some goofy videos but please ignore that lol. They are old. Anyways What I wanted to say is that I want to become a software engineer and I'm starting with CS50, the free harvard course, I'm 15 by the way. Can you give me some tips for what you think my next steps after that should be. thanks and have a nice day.
Hey man! I'd suggest you start trying to build something with the things you learn as soon as you can. You can read and study all you want but there are some things you can only learn by actually doing. Because in the process of building you run into problems that you'll have to learn to solve. Problems that usually wouldn't occur within a controlled environment like a classroom or a tutorial. If you're learning web development I'd suggest trying to build a simple website using HTML CSS and JavaScript. If you're interested in data science or machine learning then you're gonna want to get some practice with Python so I'd suggest playing around with Pandas (a python library for dealing with data and math stuff). Overall the best experience is firsthand experience! Good luck my friend!
Yeah! A new upload! You dann know I subscribed already.
Hey Dose, I just seen you responded to someone else about having Marcy as their main priority since it’s heavy on the workload and one should put all their time into it. What if I’m a full time worker?
Hey man, unfortunately you can't really do Marcy if you already have a full-time job, because the schedule is 9-5, 5 days a week. So it'd be next to impossible to balance those two things y'know. I'd recommend going part time and taking night shifts if possible or maybe staying with family while you attend so you don't have to work
@@doseofdevy I work three times a week, but 12 hrs a day. Would this still be difficult to workaround with? I mostly use my other free times doing courses online.
I live in NY too. how can I join or find groups like does if there are any available?
What do you mean by groups exactly?
Is there a similar program with cybersecurity? I am kind of on the fence between software engineering and cybersecurity/IT , but there isn’t many opportunities for me as I live in a rural town in florida.
I'm not too familiar with the opportunities out there for cyber security, but a lot of software engineering bootcamp these days also offer cyber security programs too so I definitely know they're out there. Would definitely recommend doing a google search and then doing your homework on the programs that pop up. But I know most won't be free at all. Unfortunately alot of these bootcamp aren't accessible to people who aren't prepared to pay a lot of money upfront. But there are income share agreement bootcamp out there. Be careful when choosing those though
Damn, i thought that was Ousmane Dembele at the end
This video really inspired me to actually look back to what I wanted to do as a little kid, taking a decision as a senior in high school it’s tough since your parents make you think college is the only path you should take. I want to start with this journey and see where it takes me and i’m willing to put my all to reach my goal! Thanks you for this video man! I just have one question, could you become a software engineer through online courses or bootcamps? I’m looking forward to learn more and again thanks you! much love for you! ❤️
I definitely believe you can. It's not going to be easy but it can be done. You'll need to work a lot harder than you'd expect. But as long as you pick the right courses I think you'll be fine! Good luck my friend!
I hope you answer this please...Now as far as laptops are concerned, which config works best with learning coding? I know GB must be 16 minimum...or is that true. I've seen websites touting that 8GB or ram works...or should I focus on amount of cores and there speed? what's the best configuration for learning python?
Honestly you really can get away with 8GB of RAM in regards to writing code so long as you aren't trying to run massive programs or anything like that. But if you're not on a budget 16GB will probably age better (aka be useful for longer)
@@doseofdevy Thanks for that insight, but do I have to consider the amount of cores, and how fast they process info?
@@RobertSpiller nope. I started learning code on a Chromebook tbh. So pretty much any device that runs can get you by
@@doseofdevy Well I'm beginning so I don't think I'll be running massive programs...but thanks for the help...one last thing....should I get a second laptop to do the actual work, while learning from my primary laptop, or get another monitor that I can separate and look at how I'm doing without going back and forth, or just use my present laptop that has 8GB on it already?
@@doseofdevy Would this work....Acer 2023 Newest Aspire 5 Slim Essential Laptop, 15.6" Full HD IPS Display, 20GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Intel Dual-Core i3 Processor Up to 4.1 GHz, HDMI, Windows 11 S
Hi, very good video. But can you describe who you are exactly. Like backend dev, front end, or something else? Can you tell us this?
I'm a frontend developer. I talked a bit about this in my first video actually!
I wanna know if I don’t know anything about programming, as a beginner, can I get into this school?
Yes actually, you don't need to know anything at all. But you do need to be capable of learning it!
I am from the Solomon Islands a first-year college student majoring software engineering. and I want to know if marcy Lab has an online learning environment, so I can join the fellowships as online participant and develop my programing skills faster.
To my knowledge, Marcy has a hybrid learning setup, which means you'd have to be able to attend in person unfortunately 😕
I have a question, how long would it take to become a software engineer with 0 experience, I am currently planning on going to college for two years in order to learn to code.
With no prior experience, it would really only take a year to develop a solid foundation given a full time commitment
@@doseofdevy How many hours a day would you practice/study code?
@@Jcon4002 somewhere between 5-8 if it's a full-time commitment
@@doseofdevy thanks for the advice bro 🙏
8 hours🥲… I gotta find the motivation to get to that
Love watching your videos as an electrical engineering major. What state or city are you in?
Thanks man! I'm in New York City!
Wait what! This is in NYC? I was planning to go to codesmith but that might have to wait. Thank you so Much Devy.
As a young person, this editing style felt very hectic. I would recommend creating a theme that pulls the shots together within each section. Felt like a bunch of designer shots copied for the sake of the shot without any thought toward how it physically effects the person or mood it's trying to convey. If you can strike the right balance with practice, you can have some fun videos.
Thanks for the tip!
Hey bro is marcey lab school a in-person or online program ? & if it’s in New York do they provide housing ?
It's an in-person program but unfortunately they don't provide housing
@@doseofdevy I live in Massachusetts , so it wouldn’t be ideal for someone out-of-state to enroll in this program ?
@@RIP.BIG092MLBOA not unless you're planning to move to NYC
2 for 2!🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thank you!
No worries! I do have a question though. Is there any way someone can enroll virtually? I’m from and live in the UK and this is exactly what I need. If it is please give me any info. Thank you and keep pushing out the amazing content🙌🏾🙏🏾
@@mrgkd5767 unfortunately the program is only available for people in NYC, hopefully one day the program can go global though!
@@doseofdevy oh ok cool no worries. Thanks for sharing this, it will help a lot of people and God bless you. I pray continued success comes your way 👊🏾
Are there any programs like this in texas
do you have to be in new york to go to marcy lab?
Unfortunately yes. Unless you live in a nearby state and are willing to commute every other day 👀
Production super on point!!! Message and story telling aspects are extremely inspirational. Just got yourself a new fan and sub. Great work man, I look forward to the future of your channel!
27 no Experience keep getting suggested by the internet software
Such and insane quality for a new youtuber like you. it feels like you're pouring your heart into making these videos.
Thank you!!
Hey, man, can you answer my a question can someone access the Marcy lab from remotely?
Unfortunately you have to actually live in NYC to be a student at the Marcy Lab School
@@doseofdevy ok man I have understood 👍
i live in nyc, whats the catch? do i got to pay share of my income after i land a job? also can i work 30hrs a week while going to this school?
There's isn't an income share agreement, so it's 100% free. But it does require a full time commitment so you can't work during the program
@@doseofdevy what if i know basics of html, css and javascript and c++, im really stuck, my jobb is not getting me nowhere but just paying my rent and bringing breads
Only wish it was a faster track, like a 15week program
East come easy go..
Using Tesla as thumbnail made me click. Nice video also.
I ain't living in no first world so it's a ton harder to become a SWE here.
Where you from fam?
I am in Philippines and the requirements are a ton else you end up with low pay.
你真的很酷
Thank you!
@@doseofdevy 你的视频是怎推广的吗
That looks like CCNY. Did you study CS at Grove?
Actually I studied physics in marshak 😂
@@doseofdevy Physics is tough 😢
@@samuelfils1021 oh definitely 😭
-Too many music breaks man-
*EDIT* Must use both ear buds or if using only one it needs to be the left ear bud.
What music breaks?
@@doseofdevyupon review it was actually audio levels, the music playing is too high in parts where people are speaking.
Watch from 4:36 to 6:28
I usually listen to these videos when at work so I'm rarely viewing and I thought it was just a long segment of music
Ahhhh I see, yeah I messed this one up because I bought a new mic and didn’t know how to set it up right for this type of filming. So if you were where only one ear bud too you actually wouldn’t have heard much of anything. This is something I’ve finally got figured out now though!
@@doseofdevy Oh I see, yea I use one ear bud til it runs out of charger than swap over XD I can hear it now I am using both
Oops lol
How I am start it without degree can it possible please suggest me
I'd suggest looking into a bootcamp, but if not start by picking a programming language to learn on your own. (I recommend JavaScript) then once you learn the language, figure out how to build something with it. Good luck friend!
Everyone here remember.... if it seems too good to be true.... it is. Don't let this guy bamboozle you.
This is a really good rule of thumb. Always do your research first!
PS: I respect that you're skeptical. But look into it some more before you write it off
Noti gang
Giving me hope my guy❤️ blessing to you my guy
Hi,is the Marcy Lab available for all ages?
The age cut off is 26 I believe
Ok thanks
@@doseofdevywhere can I reach you directly for details?
What an amazing journey by far.
i really wish i would've heard of marcy lab school before the deadline this may :c
Don't miss the next one!
@@doseofdevy when is it :(?
I'm actually not sure yet, I'd say keep checking the website though
@@junenewton9098 And bring your A-Game, this school is no joke. I thoroughly enjoyed the application process. Best of luck!
Can someone from nigeria join mercyland cohort
Unfortunately it's only available to NYC residents
So basically a long, drawn out advertisement to a school nobody has ever heard of 🙄
It wasn't supposed to be an advertisement, but if it is, it is 🤷🏾♂️😂
Anything for clicks from the desperate idiot masses
you earn 130k per year? and became a software engineer in less than a year? god damn. How real is this?
Pretty real lol, but I didn't start at 130k I started at 90k and the path was definitely pretty difficult
Age: input(How old u is fam?)
print("my age is 24 as last month") lol so technically I became a software engineer at 21 👌🏾
I’m 22 in college and unsure of what to do. Would Marcy college be for me ?
If you live in NYC and you're willing to commit a year of your life to learning this stuff then yeah I'd definitely suggest it!
LETS GETT ITTTT!!!!
Is there a school for graphic design similar to Marcy?
There definitely might be, I haven't heard of any but I doubt you'd find a free one. Those are pretty rare to find
Making money, starting a business and self development can only be achieved if you consistantly work on it, it is my personal experience... if you are reading this keep in mind that you cannot become successful in a week.===
Exposure is so important. I was introduced to coding in my sophomore year and that spark the fire to continue today. Now I'm a Senior Engineer at consulting firm. It's definitely been a journey and I would suggest to anyone pursuing this path...GIVE UP NOW, IT'S A TRAP!!
Just kidding 😊 Continue to persevere, the end result is worth it.
I definitely agree! 🙏🏾
hey like @Switchy Gaming said he is a 7th grader and so am i I am also learning web making
Nice!
6:03 is literally me right now. Im a junior/senior doing software engineering and ive done nothing but struggle in classes that wont even help me with what i want out of my degree. At this point school has stepped all over my love and passion for coding and I wish college was more straightforward than what it is. This program sounds so awesome, I wonder if i can find something similar where I live.
Hey man, I definitely understand where you're coming from. College isn't for everyone. But where do you live? Maybe I know of a program in your area!
@@doseofdevy Hey man thanks! I live in Atlanta.
Could you make a video about how you went about finding your first job?
That's a great idea!! Consider it done 💪🏾
@@doseofdevy Thanks dude!
Brother I am from INDIA....I have 7 yr career gap and freshly fresher ....I done BE Mechanical....now I want to create my career in IT field....pls suggest me the order of courses I need to do...!!
I'd recommend you pick a programming language to learn and get really good with it to start!
first 5 min just yappin
why am I hearing from left ear in most parts of the video; I'm sorry but that is discomforting.
This video was from I first got my microphone, I didn’t know how to use em yet lol

Trying to help my family here man.. is hard... but being low-income in ny is hell specially because these bootcamps are so expensive and college is even more expensive.
Yeah I definitely feel you! My girlfriend is doing pursuit and so far it's been a pretty decent experience. Definitely rigorous though! But I still don't know a whole lot about it
