Big Fish, Little Fish - The Laracasts Snippet
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- There was a time long ago, before the internet, when each of us had the ability to be a big fish in the small pond. At least in some small way, that's true. But not anymore. And I wonder... what does that do to our confidence levels?
Great advice Jeffrey. I've been in backend development for 14 years and following your tutorials and posts since you were in charge of envato tuts+. You are always a role model and big fish in any ponds IMO
Oh man!
You are exactly talking about the kind of burn-out I feel when I look at the Laracasts' instructors. 😆
Refreshing honesty & humility. Thanks
This is some high level life lessons. I'm sitting here applying the concept to everything but programing right now.
This was a great monologue. Thank you for it.
Loved the editing for this one :D
An informative video. Happy New Year everyone!
The way you explain things is awesome. No words. ✌
On a long enough programming journey we all start to self actualize and realize the meaninglessness of it all. Looks like Jeff is on his way. Please, more content like this. It's far more valuable and timeless than what the newest little PHP or Laravel function is.
Travel between ponds is the message ❤
Awesome, Great advice Jeffrey
Nice to see some more of you Jeffrey
best.episode.ever!
As others have said, Jeffrey is a big fish in many ponds. A true one-of-one.
Cool editing!
I might explain this - I started to work on a small project, where my passion to ice hockey cross my development skills, I built simple app to track shift duration during the play for each player. I just use this little app, and I have plenty of cool ideas to continue with, and I didn’t find any solution out there that will fit my needs. I am not professional coach or player, I don’t know what pro teams are using, but I just like to be a big fish in my team that I can track some stats for my guys. And later, year later, if I keep working on this project, maybe I want to sell it, or maybe I want to keep working on it full time, and then it will be the time to start feeling of the small fish, checking out the competition what’s out there. Haven’t yet gone so far, so I don’t know. Still big fish in small pond 😌
Jeffrey, you are one of the bests explaining anything. Trully. Or at least from a non-native-English-speaker's point of view.
But anyway... What is the point of wanting to be the best on something? I acknowledge this is very common, but IMHO the ultimate goal should be to be as good as you can.
Thank You
Jeffery The Legend!
My take on this (as an adult) is that I love learning so much that I don't mind that there are people better. I see this as a positive.
But I'm 35 years old.
I'd say you can't change the internet for younger people, best you can do is probably help them develop the right mindset to deal with it (whatever that is).
But I don't have kids, so maybe don't listen to me.
Jeffrey, please please do more podcasts.
I work in plumbing and heating have had to make my web design part of my business. I had to learn HTML and CSS over the decades and a half, with constant updates of the CSS and html. I've managed to keep work coming in over the years, but now I dislike my job of plumbing and heating as it's just trouble and sorting out other people's problems, plus at 56 my body doesn't want the hassle. I can sit at a Mac for hours in vsc and assemble pages. I think now I'm looking for a new start in a new country with my partner, but need remote work to do. What can I do to earn a living earning money so I can live remotely? If I were you Jeff, I would start a fresh and do not much and just enjoy life. Before we know it, we're too old and unable to carry on as sitting on a pc all the time is unhealthy and mentally drained is all.
The social media struggle with kids is real, you want them to explore the internet and find out. If they get stuck on something look it up, but it is full of other content. It would be fine if what we tell them is the only thing that intigues their mind, but its not they get influence from their school friends which are allowed to watch all sort of stuff like stupid dances/sketches etc.
Its either you block it all or none, right now I am just blocking youtube shorts and let them access the rest of youtube.
You're my LaraDad
Jeffery sir always great to hear you, sir i have a question regarding AI, how we can adopt ai in our work also is there any chance ai can replace us soon ?
You've done some beginner Laravel we really need some intermediate and advanced Laravel
it's companies that kill creativity, demanding more and more, and faster... more and more legislation gives everyone anxiety because of consequence involved in a screw up... so many factors
feels illegal to be this early 😅
Please upload Php & Laravel
projects for beginners
Not a thing .. 👌
First
Nobody cares
