    I have been trying to convince my friends to learn how to code. And that you don't need a degree to do so. I have a computer science degree myself but I have been trying to get my friends to learn.

    Your video was very informative and straight to the point. You detailed every step you took and kept a subtly emphasis on learning a new skill. Thats what I liked most, I wish most youtubers can take something home on that.

    This is a blow-by-blow account ntwana🔥. But I also get a sense this was actually your area of calling, because wow it takes passion to bear with the amount of time it requires for one to learn these elements and features - that's why some people study for more than 4 years just to get to a space where they can perfect their craft. But when it's your calling - you show signs to excel at an early stage already 🤞🏾

    I have a react portfolio but when I try to deploy on netlify, the build keeps failing. Have you ever came across this issue and if so how did you fix it?

    • @katlegodeveloper
      @katlegodeveloper  Рік тому +2

      It's probably the "CI" environment variable which needs to be set to false on netlify so that netlify ignores warnings on your react project!

    Katlego, your story is truly inspiring, and I've found it to be more straightforward and interesting compared to many other people's journeys. I've watched numerous videos where individuals share their experiences, but your story really stands out.
    I'm currently not on social media, which is why I'm reaching out this way. I'm self-learning Java and would greatly appreciate it if you could provide your email address for further information. Your insights and advice would be invaluable to me as I continue my Java language learning journey.
