Tip 1: Go outside your comfort zone. Learn more. Expand your skills. Learn how to learn.
Tip 2: Take on larger tasks and responsibilities.

I couldn't have said it better myself. I wish I knew about this quote prior to making this video!
@@BeABetterDev If you hadn't uploaded this video, you would not have found out about this saying.
You've just grown a little more. Again 😉

I can't thank you enough for the valuable content you making to inspire every developer
I can see Brad's vision coming true. This channel is going to be the numero uno for sharing quality knowledge, inspiring other developers to start teaching and an overall sense of a developer community all under the name - Traversy Media. Cheers to what you've created for us man ! Can't thank you enough Brad!
Straight outta College, spent 6 months for preparation, I got my first software engineer job ( 6 figure salary ) - React developer with only 2 weeks of study on the React documentation, but during interview process I aced all Javascript technical questions, and promised the company that I am willing to learn anything they want me to learn, and telling them it is just the matter of time for me to pick up anything, and I got instant accepted the day after.
6 month into the career, I applied everything this man just said (100% the same). I took on 3 major projects during the time, and I have learned 8 different tools and frameworks scoping from Testing / Integration / UI / Schema / API. I started to become super confident on everything. Tech leads and managers started looking to me as a treasure in the team, because I go full throttle on every task that was assigned to me all the time, and I am taking on the task that others don't want to take on (refactoring legacy codes or learning new frameworks for the project, etc. ..) Also, I quit playing game, quit watching stupid netflix, deleted all my social media app, because I don't want to waste hours in a day just consuming others' life, and just fully focused on my career growth and learning UI design / frameworks to further enhance my FE skills as well as building full stack side projects after work. Till today, I am still coding almost 15 hours a day, and I am happy I never stopped for w/e reasons, even though I lost all of my college friends, because they all want to start a bit later, and kinda don't know what to do everyday, I started losing passion hanging out with them, because that is no good for my career. You are the one sketching out the chapter for your own story. I don't need much casual friends.
My next goal would be to apply to one of the FANG company out there, just for the sake that I don't want to regret in my 40's, and I want to actually step into those FANG company and being able to tell others my story on "why" I joined the company or "why" I eventually left the company and go on to my freelancing journey and stuffs like that, instead of just keep on listening to others' opinions on those Big companies, or spreading false information about those big company, saying like "oh you don't wanna get in FANG due to blah blah blah personal biases or reasons"
Tip for all beginner into the field:
- If you are learning programming just to get a job, I sincerely urge you to just start applying, try it out first, then polish whatever you think might benefit you the next round. You can never be ready, just have some trust in yourself, and believe in that you will impress the interviewer not only based on your technical skills, but how you persuasive them to have belief in you.
Getting a job is a two-way process, interviewer will have the same pressure as you too, they need to sell you their business ideas and convince you to get on the board, just like you are selling your best self to them. Hope this message will help out some folks who are seeking to get into the field. We all been through the same, keep going and never stopped trusting in yourself. YOU ARE THE BEST!
Respect bro I feel you on all levels! Do you share open source projects, i would like to follow you on github :)
shit better grind that leetcode. White boarding is no joke and being out of school makes it harder lol. I have a few side projects I worked for fun but after a while I stopped giving a shit about programming after work hours. It just stopped being fun.
I scrolled down on a whim and struck gold with this comment, this is great motivation!
@Karen Efereyan non-stop applying for jobs, and wish for that 1 go only, but present your best self everytime in the interview like there is no tomorrow and no coming back. Embrace and make friend with uncertainty and fear, that will drive you in the long run.
How does one get a job? Work the longest amount of hours for as little pay as possible. The entry-level developer market is too saturated. It's a race to the bottom.
Traversy Media is not just changing lives of aspiring developers. He is making lives for aspiring youtubers as well.
"Nobody wants you to fail", you say, but I've had colleagues that seemed obsessed with that exact purpose, throwing wrenches into my wheels at every opportunity. All I've ever cared about is writing the best possible code, but they seemed to have some emotional issues which should have no place in your workplace.
Great tips, appreciate the video.
Traversy is helping other good channels to improve their channel he is a gentle man
Your channel has always inspired me to be a better programmer. Thanks for all you do for the community.
Highly timely. This is exactly what I needed today.
"Learning how to learn" this have literally been my mantra since high school, it is such good advice, great video going to subscribe to your channel
After getting internship in MERN stack I was looking to get my hands dirty with AWS and I think I got the right man . Thanks traversy media.
This is exactly what I needed, thanks, guys! :)
wow, what an incredible content ...
I believe this video is a must for aspiring Web Developer.
Thank you Brad and Daniel!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed.
Thank you Traversy Media! 🔥
Yea your right!... I find myself, researching, using gimp, adobe xd, using my camera to avoid copyright strike, using video editing software, designing, planning, mockups, coding both the front and backend, html, css, JavaScript, php, MySQL etc.... you just don’t have enough time in a day but I’m way out of my comfort zone and learning a lot
I have no words! Thanks Brad and Daniel 😊😊😊. I hope that one day I will be in a good position and be able to give back like you guys are doing! More power to you
I had a 5 year gap on my last development and it was C#. Then I got hired in a company as a System Administrator, and they have some manual repetitive process that I thought could be automated. I studied PHP and VUE.JS for have a ground experience with the web stack. This weekend, im readying my code to present to my team in the Alpha Stage.
Thank you a lot for this guidance, Daniel, and thank you a lot for letting Daniel to make the video, Brad! I really appreciate his advise about learning skill that I lack as I'm learning to become a real software developer
I am a junior dev with less than 2 years of experience in a startup and I am taking on a role that our ex-senior was handling. Can't wait to grow but I am scared to mess things up for everyone.
This video just made my day. The fear of messing up a project has really made me shy away from many simple task that am now coming across
these guest lectures are getting better and better
Great video on a great channel,
I found these two sentences very motivating to me:
"You can figure it out
"
You can solve it by "Looking at things from different angles"
Thanks
thank you so much bro ! your video was so much insightful
Such a calm voice and very good advises! I will really try to get out of this comfort zone!
This video was super helpful! Thank you.
Thank you so much Daniel. Thank you for your shared. this is very helpful from my fear.
Thank you..Brad is the Best...you helped me so much Brad...and thank you guest creator
pure GOLD !!, thanks brad
Tip #1: Learn how to learn: utilize all surrounding resources to figure out problems that are out of your comfort zone or you have little background about them
Tip #2: Learn by doing: take any chance that force you into learning intensively to fulfill the project, and you ultimately gain both confidence and knowledge. You will not have to look back in regret and anger :D
Perfect!
Great video, determinated to watch it again and again 👍
Those are some solid tips. Thanks for sharing!
Such a great video, thanks!!
Really great advice. I have myself jumped into projects that were way over my head. I was fortunate to have real leaders to help me along the journey but taking that leap really opened opportunities that I would have never received unless I took that leap.
thank you a lot. I think am ready to jump right into it...
This is an old video, but I'm so inspired right now. Thank you.
Thank you Daniel, very inspiring video.
Thank you Daniel! Awesome story. It really helped me get out of my own head, and simply just take on that giant task at work!
You're very welcome Darren. Best of luck on your big project!
I appreciate the tips mate, I'm just getting started but I feel to nervous to take the next step. Just gotta take a leap of faith
Exactly! Good luck you you Louis!
hope my comment based on my experience on top can help you out a little bit
I have done the same to integrate Azure AD, which helped me to learn a lot and I ended up helping others 🙂
I've always taken up the hardest complicated tasks and even sometimes fought for it, just so i could be motivated to work. But unfortunately these tasks aren't always available and sometimes taking too many of these drains a lot of energy and you need a break. I have no idea how long I can keep this up
this is was a great video.. the main thing i took from this vid is that you should put yourself out of your comfort zone more often and you will learn how to learn and progress yourself forward. thanks a lot i am inspired by this and I will do this more often 🙏🏽
Thanks for the tips. I just subscribed to your channel
Awesome video. Thanks
This is fantastic content!
I loved it this is so nice and really useful information
This channel is getting better and better.
Hello Traversy media team, thanks for the content
Really helpful vid!
Thanks alot Daniel
I had to go through how to figure out a problem recently. I am not very skilled at programming but to be specific I was using the Shopify Buy Button app and it essentially creates code, it is injected in your site and viola, products display on your site and it allows for a complete basket and checkout process. Well the problem was I had to localize a button and well, there was javascript and moustache - I had no idea how to edit the code to get what I wanted. I contacted Shopify, I contact the community at Shopify, no one seemed to know so I was on my own. It took me two days but it felt great to figure it out. I bet a million people could have sorted it for me but because it was a personal achievement and it was a goal to localize this button, well seeing it happen was an amazing thing. That's my story as it relates to this video. Thanks for the video.
I look at what other websites have, that I can’t do yet, but would be great. That’s how I pick learning a new skill.
Great video. Very motivating.
Great content 💸
Great video!
Great to see you in the family cloud guy. Drop em tips
Fantastic insights for turning to try harder mode
I love these kinds of videos
Very helpful for me.
Very useful information 👍
Daniel in traversy media!, nice!
Thanks!
Good advice.
Yuuss i've been looking for a channel that focuses on AWS thanks!
Inspired!
How do you set a deadline on a task that is outside of your scope?
Never knew this channel existed.
Good video!
Fantastic 👍
Thank you so much for this video. You are life saver
It's not even 1 minute since this video uploaded. Lol
@@touristd6513 sure
Bro did you even watched the video?
@@touristd6513 i needed help for this topic. I dont need to watch it full to thank him. Beside i trust this channel , so without watching i know this video will be great
You are super optimistic my friend. Cheers.
Stay hungry everyone!

Hey Brian. Great to see u here. And I get u everywhere u go😂
@@dheerajnaik6467 lol I'm everywhere
hi brad please make a tutorial for "Swiper.js" library...there is no good tutorial for it on UA-cam.thanks
I saw this task on our ticket board that I was afraid to take. The docs required to learn and do that task is outdated and I hate looking like an idiot asking someone for help. I was thinking of taking it, but my fear held me back. I should have taken it but someone else did. I felt shit. Thanks for this video. Will never do that again.
I would say: if you see a task that you think it is too difficult, try to study the subject a while at home and the next time you encounter that task, take it.
It is better that: take the tasks you do not know to solve, mess things up, be fired.
My opinion :)
Great.
great video
I'm there at the moment in my first dev job using AWS Amplify, it gets a bit overwhelming when stuck and falling behind schedule as I am the only developer.
I certainly feel for you. My advice is to use all the resources you have available to you. Take baby steps and test your work incrementally. You will be successful!
@@BeABetterDev Thank you!
Guys if anyone here uses spring framework, i wanna know what are the key topics (step-by-step) to learn in spring so that i can say i know everything of this framework.
anybody else read the title as "how to grow a software developer"?
lol, that would be nice. You can by seeds for JS, Python, C#, etc
No bro my just catch as fast bcz I am from cs_guy import dev as me
In a way these guys are "Growing software developers" 😁 I am so grateful 🙌🏾

"Just add coffee!"
Great video, keep up the good work Brad. I just finished your HTML & CSS Udemy course and I really liked it.
First viewer, like and comment of this video btw :)
He is not Brad))
@@bagijust8968 I know
Thanks :)
Bro loved your advice but i would like to ask something off topic if you don't mind. How did you deal with hair loss?.
it's all interesting but could you elaborate on "talking to senior leaders" as a skill you gained? Does it take a special skill to talk to senior leaders? Please let me know what you mean? Thanks.
Hey its really nice to watch your experience about the new project and how to face fears.
I do have a fear as in, I was getting a paid project of some final year college guy, I didn't know GCP ( Google Cloud Platform ), so i declined the project. Whether it was good choice or bad, i am unaware but i feel that I have missed that opportunity.
I had feared how could i complete the project in just 7 days without knowing the concept.
So I wanna need an answer for my question which is : " As a entry level developer if you are not having knowledge about certain topic and you are given project, how to adjust the timeline ?"
I mean first of all it feels the deadline is too short and get scared if we didn't complete or something gets screw what to do then?
Awaiting for your expert advice....
Also anyone had experienced before and they know how to solve this things, pls do help..
Thanks Before hand!!
I am learning JS as my first language.
some time I think its time to go to react but some time I just feel that I am missing something to learn but I dont know what I am exactly missing. It may be normal but It is depressing or demotivating me everyday. Do anyone else feels like the same or is it just me?? (sorry for my bad english)
dude, you have described my thoughts that I get used to repeat to myself most of the times :D But anyway, after 3-4 years of learning basics of python I'm currently know everything about Python/OOP and etc. It's super easy to me now to learn some new stuff like frameworks, sql and etc.. but at the same time I feel like I wasted 3-4 years and earn nothing. But overall, I could easily find any job that I want right now (most of jobs) like a backend developer and solve any algorithmic issues/tasks and etc. And indeed, these knowledges of basics just consolidate my "gaps" in understanding of programming at all. Seems like I'll never return to solving algorithms for free again (so this is the main issue here that you unlikely return to learning basics when you will have a stable job) And im not joking, this is my profile on codewars platform :D www.codewars.com/users/OlegRadchenko
And whats more, its just an enjoy because I could surprise most colleagues at work with my skill of problem/algo solving. (but yep, its a bit depressing that 3-4 years its just an almost senior level so my salary right now not just as big as it could be :D ..)
One thing for sure nobody can learn a language completely. Be sure to know or view the basic things that people make a note to move before react and if you are strong with it move forward simple!.

@@TdadadT9 thanks man... This reply of yours means a lot to me....
And yeah congrats to you for all you have achived in your career ❤️
@@moviekazi1536 Remember, don't worry too much on the framework itself, get comfortable with JS first, polishing your skills in it, learning all aspects and concepts of it, framework is just a tool to drive the core language you use, you just need to open up the doc and read the user manual like you would do to any of the machine/equipment in your house.
I got my first software engineer job - React developer with only 2 weeks study on the documentation of it, but during interview process I aced all Javascript technical questions, and promised the company that I am willing to learn anything they want me to learn, and telling them it is just the matter of time for me to pick up anything, and I got instant accepted the day after.
6 month into the career, I have already learned 8 different tools and frameworks scoping from testing / integration / UI / Schema / API. If you are learning programming just to get a job, I sincerely urge you to just start applying, try it out first, then polish whatever you think might benefit you the next round.
JS as a first language can be pretty rough because of its quirks. I started out learning OOP languages myself so was pretty weirded out by JS. Just remember what you are trying to work towards.
讲的不错
Please make a tutorial on Zoom API
One advise: Don't skip basics
wow

That thumbnail was like how to grow your hair back..😀
What if you are not given the cool new projects to work on?
Wont anyone say that he looks like Zayn Malik lile 30-40% ?? Because of his beard and somewhat voice and facial structure
Very interesting, but how to grow hair?
Brad, Please Courses About Firebase
Except in the real-world, people expect you to complete tasks at the fastest possible time. This is often not possible if you're "outside your comfort zone". You are just making a fool out of yourself and magnify your incompetence to the whole team.
Where is Brad?
He's running for President
The channel is changing into more of an fcc style. I didnt want to do this just yet but ive had some health and personal issues. i will still be making videos here and there
Simple eat your greens 😁
