Outstanding talk! John has prolly the attitude to work anywhere that he would want, his energy just feels so calm and warm, if i was an employer definitely i would want him in my team! How many projects would you include in a resume as a junior dev?
This was the one for me. I went through a few videos and this one is the one I needed (wanted! lol) to hear. I'm pushing to get myself into a position relatively soon as a front end dev and have been learning for over 2 years, built full stack projects, etc. Overthinking. Not over-learning, but feeling like I need to viscerally KNOW certain things when the reality is that I have pretty good grounding in the problem solving process and I need to focus more there than remembering specifics of certain things.
Hey Don, I discovered your channel probably about a month or so ago, but I absolutely cherish what you’re doing for the community. I learn from other experiences and these have been totally gold for me as I am starting my journey(two months in, starting with HTML and now CSS, using primarily W3 and MDN as my resources, then gonna dive deep into JS afterwards). Thank you and Thanks to John! Keep up the awesome work my guys.
Awesome interview. I'm just getting started on my journey as well, and it makes me so happy to see that there are so many self-taught developers out there.
Nice job. I am self taught / community taught too. Good to hear from other devs and their stories and thanks for the interview. 👍 Data structures & algorithms make me feel like a complete failure every time I hit a hard challenge but everyone I've met had felt the same way. The struggle is real!
Another great video! Thanks so much! I’m now also focusing on core techs of web like html, css and JS. I’m struggling with JS actually. But I’ll keep going. Been building small projects on front end mentor and have improved my html css skills a lot.
I'm on this path, I already have the best job ever, but I want to move up and get a developer salary raise eventually. Plus some side projects I have need a much higher level understanding.
Another very good interview. Have to keep building on the opportunities and chances a person gets to use their skills. Start small and build out from there.
this is one of the most lovely and honest development videos Ive ever heard. Its truly interesting to me that some of the best and most honest advice you ever hear---will never be the most-popular advice you hear.
When you got to the part of the interview where you ask him “what kind of projects to build” I feel like every time I listen to someone talk about what projects to build they only talk about web pages what if you are more into other aspects of coding idk like mobile applications and data analytics or AI. What projects do you build for those. I’m in the phase of trying to figure out what do I really like from coding and what direction to take but idk what to build
Hey, I'm Yuusuf and 20 years old. I’m interested in becoming a self-taught web developer, and I would like to meet serious people who want to connect so we could make a study group and make a plan together. If you are interested, let me know.

Self taught engineers are heroes for the underprivileged.
I don't have a degree and I'm currently taking that route, is it possible without a degree?
@@saeedhalabi For sure. There are a lot of software engineers without a computer science degree.
@@anantamawinstead5894 Love it!

No problem. Welcome to the community!
Hi, Gregory. Same, W3 is really good. I bought some courses but well, they only cover the basics in the end we have to look for materials ourselves.
3 month progress report?
Awesome interview. I'm just getting started on my journey as well, and it makes me so happy to see that there are so many self-taught developers out there.
One day I will be interviewed on this platform to tell my story

Self love and imposter syndrome is big 🙏🏽 I appreciate the info and this channel

man i appreciate DonTheDeveloper.
Great advice about focusing on one part of web development to avoid overwhelm
It's so easy to get overwhelmed! I know I did.
These are some great tips! Excellent video
I waited all week for Mondays post!! Woo!!
!!
It was really helpful. Thnaks!!!
Great interview!

I’m down
Still looking?
Can anyone here list the resources which they were talking about
Do frontend developers need to know data structures to get a job?, seems that most companies ask about that stuff in interviews.
No.
Why the HELL would someone downvote a question and not answer it on that website?
On stackoverflow?
Maybe you could do a podcast with someone currently going through the struggle such as myself😂😂
Potentially. Feel free to email me and we can talk more about it. (email is on the About page)
