    You helped me with my career goals. Back in 2021 I was lost and didn’t not know where to start and I lost everything. I watched your videos and it motivated me to try with coding, fast forward to now. After securing a developer role at bestbuy and now a developer in a small telecom company, you truly helped me move forward . Thank you Chris for giving me hope!

    I'm 16, and i started learning web development 3 months ago, HTML and CSS are now easy to work with....this year i'll focus more on expanding my Javascript capabilities.....the reason why i started learning how to code/web development...was because i haven't been going to school for 3 years now. Due to financial problems, so i'm hoping that in a few months i could get a job as a web dev although i'm not sure if that is even possible since i'm only 16

    Hey guys, in a crappy situation and would love some advice. In 18 days I will have been job hunting for two years in the data analytics/science and ML fields. I'm 27 now and miserable, stuck in my parents house. I'm so tired, and I feel like at some point I will have to give up and try something else. I think my main thought/question is at what point would you give up - or should I? All I really want is to move out of my parents house.
    I have the relevant background too, MSc in math, did a bootcamp. On my resume I have 2 years of experience from technically my own company, but I just list myself as a data scientist employee there (make no money of course - mostly failed endeavors). Apparently my local university has a masters in applied computer science where they basically just hand you an internship, so that's an option - but I also hate the thought of going back to school.

    Well. Thank you for you motivative video, but y'all need to face to reality. There are so many web developers with degrees and experiences in the world and USA. That means the job market is over saturated. Even experienced developers got laid off letely. Thus, the AI helps a lot of things and makes a job easier. That being said, it will be so hard to find a junior positions and more competitions.
    Searching jr. Web developer job openings in your area and how many job openings do you see? Well, It depends on where you live, of course. My point is quilification. They are expecting a degree with practical experiences for a jr. Position. I didn't want to discourage anyone, but it is what it is....
