Man, what Chris says about making coding a hobby is spot on! I've been trying to learn to code for 7 years and it never stuck, then I started building coding projects based around video games and since I love gaming I've been hella consistent with it everything started to stick. So I've learned more code in the past 8 months than I ever did in the last 7 years because I centered it around my hobby. I was even able to step in at my actual job and help the company out with a website problem recently
Hey I have some questions because of my love for gaming I also have been practicing coding for 3 years but it doesn’t stick and I do know certain things but I would love to learn more
@@markevans6691 Oh yeah bro, basically I just started thinking about my favorite games and how I would rank them also how I would review them if I were a review site. So I started building projects like game review sites kinda like IGN or Gamespot. And of course, they're terrible websites because I still don't know how to code really well but they keep me engaged in the sense that I'm learning to code something I REALLY care about which has led me to stick with it through all the tediousness of learning new coding concepts since I could then take these concepts I learned and make my game website look even cooler lol and it's worked wonders learning this way!
Not building things and just following tutorials is why I restarted. Don't make that mistake. I realized I couldn't make a todo app on my own and once I realized that I got out of tutorial hell and now reviewing everything I thought I knew and really getting a solid foundation.
@@DarshilPatel-p9y do the odin project, it's free, i have been doing that currently working on a todo app, I have learn a lot, and tutorials only get you so far you have to start building stuff.
same here, I also relate to you in the situation. As I kept going from tutorial after tutorial, when it came time for me to start building something I didn't know where to start or what to do, I got completely lost. Eventually I needed to break out of that habit of just watching a bunch of tutorials and to start actually build things, from then on my learning has grown little by little once I began to build projects. It's important that we don't only just watch a bunch of tutorials and call it a day, it's not enough to just only learn the code but to actually build projects from what you've learned. I wish you all the best in your development journey!
You've been watching tutorials the wrong way. If the teacher makes a todo app, you make a kill list. Same thing, but different. If the instructor makes a twitter clone, you make a youtube clone (or whatever you want, but something else). This way you can't copy much, only concepts. Everything like the navbar and components and styling will be totally different, so you will have to think a lot and solve problems that wouldn't be there had you just simply blindly copied things.
I'm in this exact situation, can't build nothing on my own after 2 years. I want to stop using tutorials but how will I know where to start or what to do next?
Idc what the old people say, quality if life these days is freaking amazing… but it IS harder to become a home owner and keep a sustainable, comfortable life
At this point I just want to live in a decent boarded up house in a tropical country with all my basic necessities met like water and food. The rat race is soul sucking.
I was planning to learn Web development as a side hustle initially, but the last point is spot on. Thank you Chris, I'll work towards seeing the beauty of the industry rather than just a means of livelihood.
ive had exact same thoughts, at this point its who can endure the most and not quit lol. eventually the job market will improve and there will be less people to hire due to all the ai fears and job market fears, etc and u will become one of the few best options for entry or junior level. if u wanna quit then quit, but know that in a year or few years later when tech booms again u will wonder why u gave up, wondering why u keep hopping onto the next train and never getting to the end. If u just endured u would have a job in tech by now. Dont live with regret, work hard and eventually the opportunities will come, and when that opportunity comes will u be ready? Why do i know this? Because I've given up on things too many times when things got a bit hard, 100% regret percentage. Never again, idc if this takes longer than I hope if i have to eat shit for a while so be it, I just know im never giving up again.
This was the exact same mindset I had last year and guess what? I finally got an opportunity and I'm not a genius or anything like that I just never gave up. For a reference, the total applications I sent was around 1k+
Thanks so much for these encouraging words. I’ve started learning web development for a year at the age of 29 years old, as a female. I am so tired with all the bs people say about how hard it is and how I should give up. I am trying and I almost finish my learning and move on to the application process.
Chris I been watching your videos for years and you inspired me to pursue this route. It’s been 7 months since I completed a bootcamp and prior to that I was self teaching. I’ve been applying and not a single interview yet, 200+ applications. I don’t have a college degree so I believe my resume is getting thrown out by hr due to that reason, I have a portfolio, still working on side projects, and I got my resume looked over couple times.
I just received an associate of science in applied software development from my state college in May, and I still can't get an interview either, it was programming intensive advanced web development, a super thorough program. Now I'm just opting for the bachelor's pursuit. Probably just the market but going for the bachelor's anyways. if this was 2019, I'd probably have a job.
Been trying to get a job for over a year now. I dont even see any, yes...ANY junior developer jobs. They are literally virtually all gone. The one time you're lucky to find even one, dont call you back. There's only so much a person can continue to hold on. It's hopeless. I think I'm ready to give up. Idc if that makes me a quitter. Better than spending another 12 months learning non-stop to not get even an interview. And no, its not my resume because I tested it by faking some experience. Holy shit the difference is night and day. I get calls nonstop but then i obviously bomb the interviews because they can tell im not qualified for mid level roles. So there you have it. Its absolutely hopeless as a beginner to break in
I just received my BS in Computer Science, I have one internship and an IT role under my belt & it is still very hard to get interviews right now at Jr level. Upside is it will make finally getting that first job so much more of an accomplishment
I’ve been very poor all my life as well. I’m currently learning full stack development and my birthday is in a couple days on the 12th, and I’m going to be 26. I just came by your videos now and I’m trying to get into the tech world full throttle, and be able to land that high paying job. Though I feel like I’m dreaming so much bigger than landing only that job, in the future I want to start my own company. I feel like the things I listened to in this video is very enlightening and I’m going to keep watching more of your videos. In my learning process I’m trying to learn full stack from the most promising courses I can get my hands on. I am falling in love with coding more and more every day and the more I learn, the more creative I start thinking on what I could do to put my new skills to the test. Soon I will start on my own projects and I was just thinking on how I could be more unique than others out there and then I found this video and you’re talking about how most portfolio’s are the same due to the over saturation of tutorials online. I completely get that and I think what people are missing is the actual point of those tutorials. It’s to learn and make your own projects with that knowledge, and not to just copy. I usually don’t comment but I really enjoyed this video, so thanks. 🫡 back to learning! Lol
great video Chris! I thought it was interesting to me that you mentioned that we should treat coding as a hobby, that it's more than just lines and lines of code, but a skill that enhances critical thinking and problem solving. It's been a struggle to me lately when learning to code and doing job searching at the same time, while also working. But I do also believe that there's still opportunity out there for people like myself that want to be a developer, I still get notifications on my LinkedIn everyday! For all this time that I've dedicated to take time and learn to code, I still haven't given up on myself despite the struggle and the challenge of learning to code while job searching and working all at the same time, I dived into this some years ago and I keep reminding myself to push forward. Surely it will be challenging, and there will be a lot of struggle involved, but it can still be done.
i didn’t like coding in college cuz i was working on shit i didn’t care about. now i’m building stuff i wanna build and i can’t stop. i code more than anything else which makes me think i’m in the right field
im applying and correctly applying and 0 interviews!!! each job there's 1k+ applicants. But I got freelance job at the moment. But i want a job and its hard
Same. I have a degree in software, it's depressing. I currently have a warehouse job on ~£30k, 4 days. The software jobs I'm applying for are 5 days a week one less money 😢 by the time I have 2-3 years experience, knowledge jobs will be flat out gone. Maybe I'll just stick to personal projects.
Call center worker currently, we have AI deployed. Customers LOATHE IT. I do too. I want to interact with a human when I call a company, not a bot. And I'm not opposed to bots but they're really REALLY badly implemented even at a fortune 500, industry-recognized company. Also given all the accidents Tesla's auto-pilot causes, I don't see truck drivers being replaced but supplemented. Waymo also made it clear we need humans at the wheel.
Or if your tech job doesn't succeed, you could always become a truck or bus driver. If you got a CDL, you won't have to worry about your resume standing out from thousands of applicants, you won't have to worry about getting the runaround, you won't have to worry about being taken for granted; you won't have to worry about A.I., a bad economy, your job being outsourced to somebody who lives in India; or any of that. You get to travel, you could pretty much PICK your job, and you're usually hired instantly. Plus, the money is good, I don't work that much and I still code on the side and do whatever I want during my super HUGE breaks (like now)!! I drive a bus and driving a bus can be as fun as playing a video game!
Or you can persevere and take the harder route and potentially make multiple six figures down the line. I have nothing against other jobs too. But everyone’s taken advantage of everywhere. And I’d say living in fear isn’t healthy either.
I am a truck driver looking to move into a different career. I am sick of risking my life driving over a mountain in a blizzard with empty trailers. No paycheck is worth being in a rolling truck.
The common misunderstanding is thinking that new tech puts people out of work because 1 guy can do what used to take 10 guys. In 1850, dirt was moved by a shovel and a mule drawn wagon. With modern tech, one man can do the work of 100. But this just means we move far more dirt than they would have dreamed of in 1850. In 1996, if you wanted an online photo album, you needed to know how to code or hire someone who did. Today, you can make one with social media for free with no training at all. Does that mean that all of the guys writing code in 1996 are put out of work by social media? NOPE! Because online photo albums are cheaper, more people have them today than in 1996. So many people have them that it's almost become something "everyone has." People have more than one. People start new ones just for a new business or a major life change.
I hold 3 bachelors and one of them is in computer science, but I still dont get a job. Got admitted to a top 10 business school for a master degree, but dont even get to interviews in web dev
Salamat boss..mas pag iigihan ko pa pag cocode ko here Canada. Nakakaenjoy sya actually for me..lalo pag nasolve mo isang problem..html at css pa lng ako..moving to java script..sa ZtoM.👍
Ako din after college sa tate puta hindi ako maka hanap ng trabaho nakahanap ako ng dev job after more than 2 yrs pero automation testing hanggang ngaun. Saka putsa after ng 3 yrs na tester sabi ko web dev hindi para sa akin kaya ngaun switch sa python at sql. D2 din ako Canada na kakalipat lng 2 months ago. Good luck sa inu mga kababayan 😊😊😊 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
AI tools like CodePal have the potential to reduce the need for junior devs in one team. These days, it takes much less devs to develop a product with these tools. That’s an issue, we need to be honest about it. If we look at the next 5 years, these AI tools will get better and better, until we get to a point where one senior architect can design a system, and let the AI code generators write the code lines.
As a wife and a mom. I spend 2-4 hours at night learning how to code while my husband is maintaining his full time job as as customer service agent here in the Philippines. He earns 16$ a day and we live paycheck to paycheck since rent here is also high and food is so expensive. Were hoping that coding one day will get us out of extreme poverty.
Thank you for your videos, Chris. They’re incredibly helpful and motivational. As an aspiring developer, I always come to your channel for advice and encouragement. Keep making videos and keep up the great work💙☺️
went to coding bootcamp for web dev in Tokyo in 2022 spring with no prior experience in coding after completing the bootcamp I had to keep studying and building projects to build a strong portfolio 1st job hunting took several months and it was SO ROUGH prolly bc of the mass layoff started around that time and no one wanted a junior developer with no experience 2nd job hunting was similar in terms length and job market but I sort of finessed my way into a startup company saying that I have 1 year of working experience as frontend freelancer after all it took me about an year and a half to finally land a fulltime web developer position; almost given up couple of times along the way tbh but so glad that I kept pushing and stuck with it after all so to those who are currently struggling as a junior developer, its totally ok to take some time off to refresh and come back and the question is how bad do you want it?
I am trying to become a front end developer. It's been difficult. I really don't know what to learn as every single job wants more and more languages. I am trying but it's looking like it's going to take me forever really unfortunately. I was hoping to find more entry level stuff so I could get a job pertaining to what I am trying to learn. But no calls or emails back as of yet.
i mean..there are jobs out there,its never 100% saturated. but the thing is....as this feild becomes saturated the pay becomes low. The need for more web developers becomes low...thats what makes it worth/ not worth to learn web development.
truckers are safe for a while. there are a lot of investment needed for self driving trucks, infrastructure and regulations. having said that, its good to look around other industries like what im doing right now. software devs however, ai is not going to replace them, but since the job is now easier, companies can slim the engineering team significantly.
@@RealChrisSeanI need a favor to ask I'm just freaking out because everyone saying don't become a computer program because AI is going to take over and no one is going to hire junior to much applications... what ur thought ? Is gold rush of tech over 😢
GPT allows me not to waste time on details and focus on doing work that actually solves the problem at hand. I almost never wrestle with APIs and bad documentations anymore.
first time watch your video but still like it and I am fresher angular developer so I want to ask you, is there a career in angular as I start learning web developer as React my first framework and got job for angular weird but true. Hope you answer my question.
I will be one of those who give up. Because I couldn't even get an interview for 8 months. I am looking for an alternative job to find a job in a technology company. Do you have any recommendations?
I'm delighted by what I'm seeing. I recently enjoyed a similar book, and it was truly delightful. "Mastering AWS: A Software Engineers Guide" by Nathan Vale
Quick question: how long does it take to learn python to make simple programs in the console, and how long to fully learn python? (I started Python recently, want to have an idea on how long it might take)
as someone who lives in the third world, i'm grateful that the market isn't as saturated.. there are handful of people who can code where i live, and that gives me a huge incentive to invest my time to learn web development.
@@RealChrisSean for example in a bootcamp… it seems a Bit like ppl dont want to ask others for help cause they think thus are „stupid“ questions that they hardly need to solve themselves and dont wanna annoy anyone too with beginner struggles… and else…dunno where to network
Thank you, I've been trying to get myself to learn more coding since I work on my family business's website lol. I def need this video, thanks! Making it a hobby sounds like a great idea. I'll admit I'm still stuck on what to do for the back-end as I'm trying to be full-stack with HTML/CSS and Javascript. Probably PHP or Node or something else, I do know I plan to still use Wordpress.
Well it’s also the fact that people are now using apps and websites that don’t need coding so they don’t need to study it but if you look at it from another aspect as time pass those who stopped or never got into it cuz they thought it was not worth it,they won’t have the knowledge about coding.but as time passes that just makes us more dependent to those apps and websites just like we’re now to cellphone 😅before we memorize all the phone numbers we have now in our 📱 but now we’re done if we lose it😂so I think we’ll need coding for one thing or another since those apps and websites who helps you make websites without coding need to be coded no?🤔😁
If AI takes so many jobs than our economy would collapse right? So maybe it's smarter to slow down AI so that people have a chance to find other jobs. Maybe some kind of change out program that prepares people to take on other jobs.
haha. I'm so old. I remember when people thought dreamweavers wysiwyg view was the thing that would replace web dev. and ironically how ever terrible it was... it was a little bit better than AI at front end dev.

I have nothing against other jobs too. But everyone’s taken advantage of everywhere. And I’d say living in fear isn’t healthy either.
I am a truck driver looking to move into a different career. I am sick of risking my life driving over a mountain in a blizzard with empty trailers. No paycheck is worth being in a rolling truck.
The common misunderstanding is thinking that new tech puts people out of work because 1 guy can do what used to take 10 guys. In 1850, dirt was moved by a shovel and a mule drawn wagon. With modern tech, one man can do the work of 100. But this just means we move far more dirt than they would have dreamed of in 1850. In 1996, if you wanted an online photo album, you needed to know how to code or hire someone who did. Today, you can make one with social media for free with no training at all. Does that mean that all of the guys writing code in 1996 are put out of work by social media? NOPE! Because online photo albums are cheaper, more people have them today than in 1996. So many people have them that it's almost become something "everyone has." People have more than one. People start new ones just for a new business or a major life change.
My guy is that Christmas tree set up already 😂
😇🎄🎅🏼
I hold 3 bachelors and one of them is in computer science, but I still dont get a job. Got admitted to a top 10 business school for a master degree, but dont even get to interviews in web dev
Salamat boss..mas pag iigihan ko pa pag cocode ko here Canada. Nakakaenjoy sya actually for me..lalo pag nasolve mo isang problem..html at css pa lng ako..moving to java script..sa ZtoM.👍
Ako ilang months na ako sa JAVASCRIPT naka tingga 😂 naisipan ko na ngang itigil, kaya palagi ako nanonood dito eh para ma motivate man lang, huhuh 😢 😅
Ako din after college sa tate puta hindi ako maka hanap ng trabaho nakahanap ako ng dev job after more than 2 yrs pero automation testing hanggang ngaun. Saka putsa after ng 3 yrs na tester sabi ko web dev hindi para sa akin kaya ngaun switch sa python at sql. D2 din ako Canada na kakalipat lng 2 months ago. Good luck sa inu mga kababayan 😊😊😊 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Good day except po sa youtube do you guys have any website to learn web dev? thank you in advance 🙏🙏😇
@@YethAguila udemy madalas on sale un mga courses. Good luck!
Still grinding out the videos! Man thinking about getting back into web development since I been focused on SEO!
I don’t think it’s worth being a web developer unless you are 100% committed to it and know what you’re getting yourself into
Thanks my boyyyy i was so afraid of it that whether should i learn web development or not but you got me bro I'll try my be st to it 😊
Thanks a lot! It helped me so much ❤ Im not worried about it even it’s harder right now to find a job in IT, I’ll try my best to dive into it
This is going to help me on the long run, thanks so much Mr. Sean.🤗🤗
AI tools like CodePal have the potential to reduce the need for junior devs in one team. These days, it takes much less devs to develop a product with these tools.
That’s an issue, we need to be honest about it.
If we look at the next 5 years, these AI tools will get better and better, until we get to a point where one senior architect can design a system, and let the AI code generators write the code lines.
Chris Sean Rock!
we all gonna make it , i swear on god . Let's go fam , believe in yourselves , cut the noise . thanks seanny for this
less goooo
As a wife and a mom. I spend 2-4 hours at night learning how to code while my husband is maintaining his full time job as as customer service agent here in the Philippines. He earns 16$ a day and we live paycheck to paycheck since rent here is also high and food is so expensive.
Were hoping that coding one day will get us out of extreme poverty.
Thanks for everything Chris!
Thank you for your videos, Chris. They’re incredibly helpful and motivational. As an aspiring developer, I always come to your channel for advice and encouragement. Keep making videos and keep up the great work💙☺️
Thanks for the love bud. 🙏🙏
Hey man..hope you get the job!
would love a 2024 roadmap
In the works 😎
Devops is huge right now! If you are looking for a booming field.
went to coding bootcamp for web dev in Tokyo in 2022 spring with no prior experience in coding
after completing the bootcamp I had to keep studying and building projects to build a strong portfolio
1st job hunting took several months and it was SO ROUGH prolly bc of the mass layoff started around that time and no one wanted a junior developer with no experience
2nd job hunting was similar in terms length and job market but I sort of finessed my way into a startup company saying that I have 1 year of working experience as frontend freelancer
after all it took me about an year and a half to finally land a fulltime web developer position; almost given up couple of times along the way tbh
but so glad that I kept pushing and stuck with it after all
so to those who are currently struggling as a junior developer, its totally ok to take some time off to refresh and come back
and the question is how bad do you want it?
Hello, I'm glad to hear that you made it. How are doing now ?
So you got a job in Tokyo? How is the life there and what is the job demand over there like?
Nice insights bro, totally agree with you!💪💪
I am trying to become a front end developer. It's been difficult. I really don't know what to learn as every single job wants more and more languages. I am trying but it's looking like it's going to take me forever really unfortunately. I was hoping to find more entry level stuff so I could get a job pertaining to what I am trying to learn. But no calls or emails back as of yet.
Which is the better career choice in 2024: marketing or web development?
i mean..there are jobs out there,its never 100% saturated. but the thing is....as this feild becomes saturated the pay becomes low. The need for more web developers becomes low...thats what makes it worth/ not worth to learn web development.
I've been working in web dev since 2018 - I'm transitioning out.
How come?
why?
truckers are safe for a while. there are a lot of investment needed for self driving trucks, infrastructure and regulations. having said that, its good to look around other industries like what im doing right now. software devs however, ai is not going to replace them, but since the job is now easier, companies can slim the engineering team significantly.
Hammer is still in demand despite crushing machines!
Very great talk, wishes I had seen this 10 years ago
Yep, there are jobs out there if you have 7 years of experience :)
Now A days
JD be like this
Fresher should have 4 years of experience
Thank you!
The Internet is transitioning to web3 so being a Web developer is very much necessary
Thank you ❤
Hi may i ask what is the different of Web developer and Software Engrn? Thank you
I just noticed the Christmas tree in the back hell yea man my favorite time of year !
😎
@@RealChrisSeanI need a favor to ask I'm just freaking out because everyone saying don't become a computer program because AI is going to take over and no one is going to hire junior to much applications... what ur thought ? Is gold rush of tech over 😢
Nope it’s not. Although it is harder now than ever. But again it’d always gonna to be hard now than ever lol.
GPT allows me not to waste time on details and focus on doing work that actually solves the problem at hand. I almost never wrestle with APIs and bad documentations anymore.
You are completely forgetting all the outsourcing that is going on.
first time watch your video but still like it and I am fresher angular developer so I want to ask you, is there a career in angular as I start learning web developer as React my first framework and got job for angular weird but true. Hope you answer my question.
I will be one of those who give up. Because I couldn't even get an interview for 8 months. I am looking for an alternative job to find a job in a technology company. Do you have any recommendations?
I think I can state with some confidence that AI will not replace truck or car drivers ANY time soon!
Love that the Christmas tree is already up, "Ber" months🇵🇭! Can I reach out to you directly? I have a question on how you make/edit your videos.
I’m watching this thinking about getting a certificate of proficiency in college. Is it worth it?
I'm delighted by what I'm seeing. I recently enjoyed a similar book, and it was truly delightful. "Mastering AWS: A Software Engineers Guide" by Nathan Vale
Any advice for new developers?
i got laid off too. over a newbie with newbie rates can u believe that. company was saving up and decided to let the expensive oness go smh
all comes to this, stop reading reddit, quora, x and start reading the documentation, practice and you'll get somewhere.
Can i get a heart for being the second😁😁❤Chris we love you
Right when I was about to quit my progress, thinking is worthless and I might waste my time
Yo you got this. Send me an email bud if you have any questions. chris@developerbranded.com
In my experience, AI makes things easier but also can introduce bugs that you can solve them only if you stop asking AI's help.
Cheat sheet for interview? I don't even get interview calls😂😢
Quick question: how long does it take to learn python to make simple programs in the console, and how long to fully learn python? (I started Python recently, want to have an idea on how long it might take)
Fully learn python doesnt exist. The workflow of one job will be different from another.
I have made it my hobby last 2 years and now I’m in boothcamp , 😄.
as someone who lives in the third world, i'm grateful that the market isn't as saturated.. there are handful of people who can code where i live, and that gives me a huge incentive to invest my time to learn web development.
Where are you from bro?
How's your data engineering journey? Why don't you pursue ML role?
Apply for a senior or a mid-developer directly. Don't apply for junior.
I find it hard to network in thus field…
how so?
@@RealChrisSean for example in a bootcamp… it seems a Bit like ppl dont want to ask others for help cause they think thus are „stupid“ questions that they hardly need to solve themselves and dont wanna annoy anyone too with beginner struggles… and else…dunno where to network
hey chris good night im wondering if i can be a web developer and land a job at the age of 16.
Yo bro I’m glad your still posting giving me my motivation, but what schools online would you recommend for me to start now ?
FreeCodeCamp
A bit of a sunny disposition on AI. All of the experts say software dev will not be a thing anymore, within the next few years.
🧢
🎉Cheers 🧑💻❤
Thank you, I've been trying to get myself to learn more coding since I work on my family business's website lol. I def need this video, thanks! Making it a hobby sounds like a great idea. I'll admit I'm still stuck on what to do for the back-end as I'm trying to be full-stack with HTML/CSS and Javascript. Probably PHP or Node or something else, I do know I plan to still use Wordpress.
So every carrier is not worth in 2024 whatever you want to do is not worth then what should we do 🙄🙄
Join the military, you always will have a job in the upcoming years
Learning code is worth, target a web development job maybe not
Howndoni get a junior job?
I don’t know many web developers have j my area. AI has to be programmed if you love to learn you’ll be fine.
Can I learn web development if I'm not good at math?
Yes . Web dev rarely ever uses math .
No. Give up
@@RatherBeCancelledThanHandled Thank you for the reply 🙏
@@madtorture3188 😝
I'm a new subscriber here
if theres still a demand idk how im not hired yet lol
Same.
On god😂😂😂
its crazy oh yeah loads of jobs out there cant even get one interview its a joke @@mikolots
yeah my thoughts exactly@@Mfdude716
Obviously cuz nun of you are any good. Get into construction or sum
Well it’s also the fact that people are now using apps and websites that don’t need coding so they don’t need to study it but if you look at it from another aspect as time pass those who stopped or never got into it cuz they thought it was not worth it,they won’t have the knowledge about coding.but as time passes that just makes us more dependent to those apps and websites just like we’re now to cellphone 😅before we memorize all the phone numbers we have now in our 📱 but now we’re done if we lose it😂so I think we’ll need coding for one thing or another since those apps and websites who helps you make websites without coding need to be coded no?🤔😁
it's value
Bro thanks ❤. I was scared before but now I know I can do it.
do you have the job now?
Do you miss being a full stack dev?
It may be making it easier but is it making the hiring process much harder is the real question
If AI takes so many jobs than our economy would collapse right? So maybe it's smarter to slow down AI so that people have a chance to find other jobs. Maybe some kind of change out program that prepares people to take on other jobs.
Did you get the job?
Nope
haha. I'm so old. I remember when people thought dreamweavers wysiwyg view was the thing that would replace web dev. and ironically how ever terrible it was... it was a little bit better than AI at front end dev.
Bootcamps ruined the industry.
