    "the last 700 is the hardest part" i totally agree with that. now i building some project for portofolio but sometimes i go back on that 100 hour or 200 hour part. just like a circle. if any one experiencing the same thing, its okeyy. its part of learning to. if you fell depressed and felt like "can i do this? am i in the right path?" just take rest for one day, don't touch any coding ,focus on clearing your mind and after that try again tomorrow .trust me, you can do this. what you need is some refreshing.

    I don't know how many hours I've been learning. But I can say its now over 1 year and 5 months. Learned the fundamentals with Python, learned the basics of SQL. Spent 1 year with HTML, CSS and JavaScript and did 2 months of React. Now since January focused on Django and I have to relearn SQL all over again but this time for SQLite3. Too much to learn!

      I'm on same path in same timeframe. Python, Django first. Then HTML,CSS,JS React. Just instead SQL it's Next.js for me.

      @@badbeatslayer Well I think React & Django is a good combination with SQL. Stick with it. Because eventually you can use React for the front end and Django for the backend.

      You’d learn a lot faster if you focused on one concept at a time. As an Android dev, where we focus on both UI and backend, I understand what you’re going through.

      @@mr.getrighhttt3433 It is funny you mentioned this because about 1 week ago I had a developer tell me "Stay narrow and deep. Just do one thing at a time or else you'll fail". I took his words to heart, so I am only focusing on Django for backend until I get really good. Afterwards I will focus on something like React much later on. I appreciate the advice and you are absolutely correct. I am spreading myself to broad when I should be getting really good at one thing first.

    Awesome. I finally found a real software developer and not like the other thousands who says you can easily learn code in 1 month bla. Like you mentioned if you have max time for that and could put the time and effort in without any distractions, I think it is possible.
    But anybody who has family and/or Full Time job don't have much time. But 1-3 hours a day I think is possible.
    Thank you so much. Really appreciate your content! :)

    the only person that I have found that answer the question directly to their title and is not a clickbait thankyou. I have clicked on other youtubers to find out how many hours I need to invest and schedule it across other works I do but all they did was give me consistency and motivation lecture for full 15min. Which is not what I have asked for. Grateful for your information; keep up the good work.

On the project I work Industry job taken over yeah how to improve. Yes c# not too much exp but ChatGPT helps alot so I found overriding partially simulation to do all PLC Sharp/ at same time simulation since other side not awake with just one line change is interesting sometimes quality and awareness can be good knowledge! Listen is good!

    I think this idea of making it without a degree and being only self taught is a thing mostly exclusive to the US. Here in Norway and the nordics in general + probably in Germany no one is going to even consider you without a degree unless you've been killing it freelancing for years, have had solid internships or you are a child prodigy programmer since 8 years old as a hobby, no matter how component you are.

      I would say the same for Europe in general, France does the same... I was hesitating between software and cybersecurity and went for the second one. I have a degree in computer science but specialized in cyber and because of this I don't think I'll ever be able to switch.

      Norway college tuition is free for public universities. That's not a thing in the US at all. I think the sentiment here would be much different if college felt more accessible to everyone. It's too expensive here without grants & scholarships, but not everyone will get those. I know plenty of people with over 100k debt from university.

    I know the video is a bit old, but I think to say that Malcolm Glad well didn't make up the 10000 hour rule, and, he didn't even really represent it that badly. The important thing is not to leave out the deliberate practice part of it.

    i hope some 1 can answer this
    i was about to start a university degree of computer science and i signed up like 3 months before starting
    i got the books look at them i had a introduction to java course and math and some other stuff
    i decided id try pick up java on my own to get a headstart on school
    downloaded eclipse started watching youtube made a fully dedicated discord server with code/explanation and got consumed into 8-12 hours a day of studying/practicing
    at first i did 2-3 hours
    i didnt start the uni in the end and dropped out got my money and realized i can do this on my own cause i hate school frames and i am much better on my own
    my only issue is the lack of understanding grounds i don't know whats my lvl
    in a week and abit of studying
    i know
    Methods how to create how to use different classes different constructors(doubles int strings[methods also]) the whole varuable business,printf,if's switchs loops and orieanted loops
    wrapper classes nested loops logic operators
    i know arrays arraylists 2d all of that and some more things by know i mean i practiced it alot i really know understand and can recite this by heart
    What does all of this mean about me? what is my lvl because my java introduction book ended far before i even reached using different Classes,GUI's, and methods
    i am not sure what are my paths ahead
    i will keep going in my java course but i just can never understand whats the end goal how far in creating projects is it that "You are good"
    when do i pick up a second language perhaps a complimentary one for full stacking like python or html? or even grab a low lvl language like C?
    i am in the dark here
