After 41 years of coding, I can tell you that the feeling of "not knowing what you're doing" never ends. Just as you "master" one technology, you have to learn and master another. It's non-stop. That's both good and bad.
have you ever dealt with burn out and IF SO how did you deal with it... As someone who's been coding 20 years myself, 15 of them for myself in my own business... few people understand how much you need to know and how often it changes on you.
That's not unique to coding. In any profession, you have to keep up. Many disciplines require continuing education. Never stop learning. There is always more to know.
I‘m learning software development (for 8month) now. Had a breakdown today with tears. Came home went, straight into my bed, switched to Instagram, found this video ❤️ 🤯 feeling better now! Exactly what I needed, thank you…. now again -tears 😅
I'm 2 months into teaching myself, and there are days when I feel on top of the world already, and a lot more days where I feel like I haven't grown at all... I "know" you're always learning and growing because that's the nature of the industry, but we don't always "know" it!! Thanks for the humble reminder and being vulnerable with us!
Hello, Tiffany! I'm in my third year as a Computer Science student. I was having a breakdown session earlier because I feel like I've learned nothing and that I won't make it out in the industry once I graduate. I was feeling so panicked and ended up coming across your channel while searching for cat videos on UA-cam. I binge-watched your videos and I especially love the ones where you share your real experiences about the industry. They calmed me down and now I'm more motivated than ever to push through all this. Seeing a successful woman like you in tech inspires me so much. I hope I can become a successful woman in tech like you, too!
This was so inspiring to watch! 🙂 I got a job as a junior software developer in December last year (2021) and the first thing my tech lead got me to do (after meeting me and seeing where I was at) was to spend a few weeks learning and getting better at the CORE CONCEPTS, and I'm so glad he did!!
I totally agree with all of these points! I've learned about the cost of technical debt and code maintenance. Also, everyone has to pick up new languages, and when a seasoned expert does it, that code is really new grad code. Each language has nuances, and until you learn them, your code will "work" but might be really, really sub-optimal. It takes time for EVERYONE to master new languages, and we all have to do it!
That negative self talk when it’s comes to coding is real. Couple weeks ago I felt like outting myself due to something being difficult. I simply walked away and came back solving the issue now I’m here to tell my story
I am currently 8 months into coding. It definitely has been one of the hardest challenges that I have taken on for myself. But when I get down or uncertain if it's too hard or if I can't handle it, I look back and realize that I know so much more today than I did 8 months ago. Knowing that as long as I keep up with it I will progress. Thank you for your videos as they have been inspirational for many.
We all have those days. Usually means we have to take the time again to go back to basics. Yes, that will solve coding issues we all have and have to face.
@@TiffInTech after watching your video, I texted a coworker who is also a new Dev to see how she was doing and she told me she had been crying all afternoon because of a PR she's working on. I sent this video to her for encouragement and she said it definitely helped😊
I truely enjoy all your videos Tiffany, but absolutely LOVE this one. This is by far your best one to date. I can soooo relate to everything you've said. I have been in tech for 12 years, but came to coding through the database side, so still very much consider myself a junior developer. I curious at what point you consider people a senior dev?
Answer to your last question: I've learned that computers don't always act the way they're supposed to and I blame it on sun spots and stray electrons on those days. I've learned that EVERY developer learns their own way of doing things, and but as long as you remain within a set of "development guidelines" I'll call it, you can adopt your own techniques. And most importantly, never ever duplicate code, write a new function and call it... It makes life sooo much easier down the road. That's my tidbits for today. Thanks again for this great video.
I think it’s that insatiable desire to learn something new always that quickly sinks one into this feeling of being inept from time to time. I sometimes wonder how our parents handled these sorts of thoughts during the prime of their Professional careers without UA-cam & all these other avenues to share thoughts back then.
Great Video Tiff. I pretty much watch all of your videos because I relate so much. Just the other day, I was thinking learning a bit more about the hardware side(concepts) might make me a better programmer too. Cheers.
I am currently learning the whole world of programming I am currently also studying at the CFGM SMR Technical School I live in Spain here is one in Spain it is a professional training
4 months into learning how to code and always wonder when the feeling of Not knowing will go away but I guess it's something that never goes away. 😅. May I know when you started how to code because I'm in my late 20s and sometimes I feel like I am very late into learning and landing a job in tech😭😭
The code no longer interests me. What matters is what I do. And what I do is use code to solve problems and engineer applications to improve people's lives. The way we talk to ourselves has a profound effect on our feelings and self-esteem. But we don't realize how negative and dangerous it is. Sometimes my name is Hussain, new to the channel, and I hope Tiffany Janzen will be a kind outlet for the complexities we are facing.
I want to move into a data analyst, data engineering or AWS cloud work. But I'm getting Angular development in my organization due to project demand.. Plz suggest. I'm really confused about what I should do ahead.😞
I abuse skills of my coworkers, they are always busy to solve my problems. It is my confession. I know you can't refuse to help coworkers so stay away from me.

Just don't give up. Cry and let it out and then get right back up. You got this.
Finally having a relief to know i am not only one who is having breakdowns.
Thank you for sharing this!! You are not alone at all! We put a lot of pressure on ourselves ❤️ You got this!

That is awesome to hear! So happy you had such a great tech lead!
True LEADERSHIP!! Leading from the front…🙌🏿🙏🏾

Perfect! Thank you for your sincerity! This is not enough on the Internet!
thank you so much!

Thanks for open up 😊
Thanks Tiffany 👍..so valuable content 😊
You're so welcome!
sometimes we feel like we are the only ones feeling this way, but there are many of us out there. If you feel bad keep it up, it does get easier
yes! so true!
thanks for add CC in ur videos ❤️🇧🇷
Being in a rush, we sometimes don’t learn the core concepts. Our bad days mean we have to go back to that.
Wheew, I need this video. I am a new Dev and it's been wild, thanks so much for this!
You got this!!💙💙

Over the years I noticed your aesthetics evolved. Like the snap for example.
yes!! evolving and growing :)
Saludos desde Colombia, I like your content, it teaches a lot, thank you very much, it is useful for us who are just starting out.
Thank you!!
Hi...Love the content....oh, and the t-shirt too!
Yay! Thank you!

Always love your sharing Tiff. Can't wait to watch you on ig with stereotype breaker today!! Good luck!
Thank you!! It’s tomorrow!💕 you gave me a mini heart attack that I missed it 😂
@@TiffInTech 😄🙏🙏
Just started my very first project. Going crazy. 😢😔. Giving myself grace…
You got this!❤️❤️
@@TiffInTech thank you for the encouragement!!! 😊😊
Thanks tiffany for sharing your experience 😊. My Aim is to become a software engineer like you 😇.
you got this!!!
@@TiffInTech Thanks tiffany 🤗.
Early on today . Good morning tiffany 😊.
Hey!! GM!
4 months into learning how to code and always wonder when the feeling of Not knowing will go away but I guess it's something that never goes away. 😅. May I know when you started how to code because I'm in my late 20s and sometimes I feel like I am very late into learning and landing a job in tech😭😭
You got this!! I was around 23 when I learned. I am 30 now!
You had me with the Spock, no, it’s not the most important part of this very profound video but it does give insight into you.
thank you!!

I want to move into a data analyst, data engineering or AWS cloud work. But I'm getting Angular development in my organization due to project demand.. Plz suggest. I'm really confused about what I should do ahead.😞
Can you do a video on core concepts?
After 6 weeks i realized that you're never actually prepared for the industry side of things.
So true!
How to choose the right career in Tech industry ?
I think just exploring different ones and talking to people in different roles helps!
hey i was wondering if there is any good source to learn the concept and no the language? i am a beginner here
Every time I watch her videos I think , "Oh lord, give me a woman who codes"
can you make a video about what fundementals to learn ?
great idea!!
Why not make a video about the best programming books you've read that influenced you?
thank you !!
I made one a while ago but that’s a great idea to do an updated one! Thank you!!
Full-stack developer by using PHP as a backend or Nodejs Which one do you suggest?
both are good honestly! I would go after what you enjoy the most ❤️
@@TiffInTech Thanks allot for reply ❤️
Do you have any books or sites you’d recommend to start with core concepts?
freecodecamp and udemy are great places to start!
5 Yeats and she continúe look beautiful
Either that is one ugly mean elf or Spock (Leonard Nimoy) from Star Trek on your shirt.
Nice 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Somebody wouldn't able to read my code
🤣🤣😂 They will shout curse tht developer
haha oh no!
any recommendations/courses to get started with core concepts?
freecodecamp and udemy have great resources that really helped me!
I abuse skills of my coworkers, they are always busy to solve my problems. It is my confession. I know you can't refuse to help coworkers so stay away from me.
sorry to hear that!
8 years of coding
when you are good at coding you dont need to be a youtuber
you wont even have time
