    Let me clarify, we all nail nails in something in life and there's nothing wrong with that, that's not what I was saying. I personally just do not get joy from that part with coding. I get joy from other things in regards to doing things just for the sake of doing it. Like working out, getting better at flying paragliders, editing videos, cooking. But when it comes to code specifically, that's not the part that gets me..I'm big picture. And if you are the person who loves code to code, more power to you. Different people different interests, it's all good..But hopefully this video explains why i don't showcase tutorials and stuff very often.

      I think tech lead had a video about the fact that there are 2 kinds of coders. One - the nerdy coder who likes to tinker with the code and enjoys it as it is, the other one - biz coder who has a product in mind and uses his coding skills to make it happen.

It doesn't have to be your life/identity. If a carpenter were to tell you he spends all his free time hammering in more nails, you'd think he's insane. It's just a job not a way of life.

The quote specifically means do not waste your every day life being absorbed with your career or you may regret or missing the important things in life.

    Life gotta have Meaning.
    As a teacher I taught my scheduled subjects, always also to enhance life-skills, I helped my students grow, deepen their self-esteem, better connecting with others, tolerance, communication, self-reliance, how to take on a task that made their world a better place in widening circles, finding their vocation.
    When school-authorities tried to make the Meaning of my job impossible I quit teaching. Nevertheless I am still finding Meaning in efforts to do my bit to make the world a better place, for me, for my nearest and dearest, and for people and living beings in general.
    In other words: I understand you, Joshua, 100%, and I think your rant is very meaningful, understandable, and a huge step forward towards your next growing phase.
    So what are you personally passionate about now and how can you promote it?
    Would you like to help the FireBrigade, build mutual insurance and financial security, or monitoring nature so it isn't destroyed? Something quite else?
    The question about 'passion and deepest values' is a good one, but it is a plague when it is trivialized and commercialized.

    I agree 100% with Josh on this one, coding is a tool, that's about it for most people.
    I majored in EE, I didn't have much interest in coding at all, but I'm absolutely enthusiastic about making electronics.
    When I see those extremely cool "smart" devices, of course I wanted to be able to build them myself.
    So I easily overcame my lack of interest in coding, quickly picked up assembly and C/C++(pretty much what you learn as a EE major in school) writing firmware for STM32 microcontrollers.
    In the following years, I taught myself rtos and linux, to be able to use more powerful SOCs.
    When I realized I need to write applications for my devices, I learned python, GUI, SQL, etc.
    I end up learning pretty much everything I need of CS, just from the information you can get on google, without actually going to school for it, in about 3 years.
    So my advice to those stuck in tutorial hell: find something you want to build, that you're passionate about, then just find a way to implement it, using whatever language, tool, technology that's available.

      That's true in priciple, and it completely depends on the kind of farm it is about - applying monoculture, artificial fertilizers, and pesticide round-up, is the horror for all but the profit-collectors.
      As consumers we must take care to really support the farmers you have in mind; Troy.
      We also need supervision of the labels for Fair Trade and ecological farming.

      @@troymitchel4790 The Amish sure have many great farming traditions.
      There was a development called High farming, where for example crop rotation substituted for moderned industrialized farming - but regrettably High farming was marginalized by agrobusiness that had quick-solutions to sell. In his books John Seymour has tried to keep up the spread of knowledge about this - as I think - REAL farming.
      The prohibition of family-planning was one of the factors that was a nail in the family-farms' coffins and made them unprofitable.

How's regex and JSON gonna help me outside of big data (which I assume will be used for creating spambot lists to sell)? That's why I liked my intro Python class, but phoned in the one after that, and dropped the one after that one; they're training me to be a code monkey.

Also, we should probably tell people about objects sooner, because that's what most languages are made of
