    Even if you are not working full time, you may be going to school or taking care of kids, anything that takes up a ton of time, this still applies to you.
    Also anyone that has any tips from their own experiences, Id love to hear

    I was hardcore gamer my whole life until i started to learn web development 2 months ago,i was hooked immediately i dont even think about games anymore im furious i wasted so much time and now im 33 and learning from zero(hoping to hero)

    • @mikeigoe
      @mikeigoe 6 років тому +11

      35 here, same boat. Worked as a dev but never got into web development, wasted a decade churning out WinFoms apps. Had really slipped into that clock-punching mode. React really energised me, and the evolved JavaScript is really fun to work with, especially with Node/NPM ecosystem. If you have that enthusiasm, you'll get there in no time. Learning something you really love learning never tends to take long :) Good luck!

    Thanks for the incite. I'm only one month into my job and I can already feel myself getting burnt out... I used to be someone who would spend most of my free-time watching tutorials and taking online courses. Now I can't even stand to look at code outside of work.

    I am doing a full-time job, and i am trying to learn and watch a video everyday after work. but like Brad said, hard to do it after work, I think i will change to a morning person and learn in the early morning like u. I really admire Brad for learning all these stuff on his own and teach us on youtube, thank u for your great contribution

    Thanks alot, i can apply (or already did) to my situation. im a full time dev and still have to study (because i was to slow before i got my job^^). Sometimes its hard to keep learning dev-stuff alongside my job and studying but aslong as you don’t lose your passion it will work. channels like yours are those which keep our passion alive!

    Great video Brad. I love that you are speaking on the importance of family and balance my brotha. I encouraged and inspired to start coding in the mornings. I usually hit the gym about 4 days a week, but I am going to switch it up and start coding a few mornings a week.

  • @LordStaind
    @LordStaind 6 років тому

    This was the perfect time to release this video. I always had the concern or worry of how do developers learn on top of having a full time job and not sacrificing family or personal time. It is definitely difficult to strike the balance between learning new stuff and time off for things that you enjoy doing. Thank you Brad.

    I definitely agree with you about the mornings. I've been trying to land any part/full time summer job while I am away from college. Although, I am taking one summer course. I'll probably be working typical 9-5 or 9-4, so I could probably do learning before that time, especially since the commute is literally only 10 minutes.

    Great advice, Brad! As someone who worked and went to school at the same time, I know that it can sometimes be difficult to find time to study or work on learning new topics, but your suggestions are definitely helpful to those who are interested in learning how to program (or any other skills for that matter).

  • @noceur9102
    @noceur9102 6 років тому +2

    you are one of my main inspirations, thank you so much for the great advice! off topic but i'd really love to see some coding live streams from you. i recall you saying you might not be as comfortable doing so at the moment and that is perfectly fine, just a recommendation. you don't even have to talk, but it's always entertaining to watch someone code and kinda share what they're doing to maybe pick something up along the way. :))

    Good God, this video hits me right in the head. That back-and-forth between gaming and my 12-hour job is how I'm spending my days, especially during lockdown. The fact that I really want to game after busting my ass off keeps me distracted from the kind of study I ought to be doing. Good pep talk Brad, hopefully I can re-evaluate my routine.

    I recently lost my job at a company, and although the work was easy (very basic coding), I started losing interest and kept putting things off, which caught up to me. My fault!
    I realized that sometimes you have to eat shit to get a paycheck, but I don't believe you have to stay stuck. I'm taking this time to learn more and work on my portfolio and try to find a job that I enjoy, while also focusing on my own freelancing work.
    And thank you for the encouragement you give through these videos. Whether it's the tutorials, advice or sharing the difficulties of life. No excuses to achieve your goal! So here's to you and me, and let's make it happen. All the best!

    I must say I do not watch all of your videos (seems reasonably to watch only those of your interests/areas in which you want to make progress) but I do always watch these "face to face" videos in which you talk about coding & real life, progressing, how to keep positive, etc. In that sense I think that I and many of us can say that we found a mentor. So thank you Brad for everything, greetings from Argentina!

I work in IT right now and hope one day I will get to be on the development team. Watching your videos gave me the courage to start coding again. Now I have a client that I'm doing a website for with my freelance that I'm doing part time and my IT Director at my job accepted one of my projects to implement into development. Still have so much learning to do, just managing my time the best that I can.

    It’s amazing that every video you make it feels like you’re talking directly to me and my situation. My wife and I have very demanding full time jobs and we have a 2 year old. So my only time to study is after 9pm and that’s if I don’t spend any time with my wife after the nugget goes to bed. It’s really tough and if im being honest it’s hard to keep motivated. Your videos really do help though. Thanks for all you do!!!

    I can very much relate to your issue with being productive vs gaming. I was producing music and gaming, both as hobbies, and I realized how much of my time was being wasted being unproductive. Now I spend a lot of my time watching videos or reading blogs about productivity, coding, business etc and I feel better for it. It's hard to resist the urge to just game sometimes but i push myself and remind myself that gaming isn't going to develop me as a person or increase my salary potential :)
    Great video :)
