What do you guys think? Should you stop working on yourself and put your life on hold? Obviously we need to take care of ourselves and our families, but I think we should continue to try and create things, learn, etc.
There's no point in putting your life on hold. This is a crazy phase but it will pass soon. Like you said don't watch much news and stress yourself or don't relax too much and regret wasting time. We need to find the sweet spot and grab the opportunity in this calamity. Thank you brad. You're a life saver!
Things are bad , agree. But the heroes are taking care of it. Doctors , Nurses , Sanitation workers and everyone who is involved in this. We can also be a part of it by not coming out of home for a few weeks.
In the mean time , you can definitely make use of the time available in learning stuffs. Thanks Brad for spreading just positivity. More power to you. :)
Continuing to work is good for ourselves but it also sends a great message to others in this chaotic world: Life goes on! Stop hoarding bullets, TP, and water. The world is still working just fine. Thanks for all you do, Brad!
Nah as University guy who is always busy with staff this is the best time to learn a lot i have just started checking your playlist on Laravel

In years of youtube I hardly ever submitted a comment. I've been around here ever since UA-cam had 5 stars rating and wasn't part of Google. I lost my job thanks to this pandemic but, I sincerely am not panicking over it or getting stressed out or worked up. Instead I took on web development and (in the future) programming. I've been studying religiously from 6AM to whenever I have to stop to do house chores, or when my wife needs the computer for work. I plan on being able to work from home within a year. At least become a fullstack developer in 6 months tops. And I gotta say Mr. Traversy. THANK YOU SO MUCH for being so inspiring. Industrious. Helpful.
I honestly wish the best for you and your family.
Thanks a lot sir and keep up your awesome work.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
if you are self taught and stuck in quarentine-ville like i am in toronto, now is the perfect time to really learn and polish up the resume so when the virus runs its course and people are ramping up hiring, you will be ready
but so will everyone else be ready for getting hired... especially after small businesses getting hit and huge corporations laying off their workers... There's gonna be some hefty competition after this shit is over.
@@thatoneuser8600 all the more reason to get to work bro.
it’s God’s first shitpost #learntocode #oldtestamentgod #fakenews #SAD #HEdiditforthelulz
so, after this freaking virus dies out, it will all come down to how much time one devoted to better themselves during these weeks, im too at fault because i wasted several weeks, where i could have already built 2 or 3 projects in another language/framework and add additional skills to my resume.
Honestly I like how Brad never uses a clickbaity title about the name of the current situation in this video.
Even though it's a good thing to inform people about the current situation, most people out there are just using this current situation in a wrong way to cause panic and to gain more clout
He also never mentions the name of the situation in the video. Not even once. He just informs us about how to use this opportunity to be more productive.
Brad is just soooo real af
devDigest Tutorials i appreciate that. I am just as annoyed by the clickbait shit 😊
Hi Brad,
You are one of those people who can always see a brighter side of things. What I learnt in this lockdown has helped me become a better person and a volunteer. I am sure with your support we all will continue to move towards what's is needed to make it better.
Thanks
The cool of your channel is that you're not obsessed about syntaxes, but focused on what matters.
When pandemic like this one happens, I respect the doctors, nurses, and researchers who save the world. But then I found people are also depending on all kinds of computer hardware and software to make connections, learn information, get education, and have entertainment. I realized the things we do are also significant. Every job is valuable and meaningful. You are right. This is not a time for being over panic, but a perfect time for reflection and self-growth.
Brad, I am a beginning developer and school is all going online right now, I learn a lot more from you than from most of my instructors so I just want to say thank you for always always giving us good tips and tutorials for free. I really truly appreciate you even though I've never met you in person. When I get a full time job! I will definitely give back to you!! Thank you !
I remember the tweet you mentioned here, got a strong reaction in the dev community. I would really suggest you to go an extra mile and create or suggest some projects we could code along. Really thankful for what you're already doing. Stay safe and take care of your family :)
I second the him suggesting projects. Like those 30-day web programming challenges, but we would all do those as a community that follows Brad's content. It would be kewl!
We are still teaching our Code School classes, but just remotely as the college that shares us space is off limits. As a non-profit, we have no sexy online teaching platform so just doing the best we can with Google Hangouts and Slack. It's really, really tough. We are tweaking our approach as we go but some Students are either stressed over what's going on or are treating it like a vacation and not really paying attention and putting in the work.
I have tried to put some time into my own projects as time allows, but I now actually have less free time than I did when I wasn't teaching from home. Biggest bonus is I can just pop up and start class regardless of how disheveled I look since no video, and don't waste 2 hrs just on commute. Still tough, but making the best of it as should all of you.
Thanks for your content Brad. It's really helped me and my Students!
@Travery Media, I might be off subject here. I wanted to say Thank you. You Probably will never read this. In case you do, I want you to know you are doing a great job. You are impacting people not just in the USA but from all over the world (I currently live in DR). Most of the things I know I learned from your channel or from your Udemy course. Now I am working as a freelancer and able to support my family Thank you, man.
It's so good that influencers like you, Brad, have a cool mind and supporting others mentally. Also deep respect for NOT PUTTING "CORONAVIRUS" in the title of your video - I mean - talk about today's sensitive topic without a desire to get hype from it - that deserves the great respect.
God bless you sir... everything you say makes perfect sense...
Thank you I am 33 years old trying making transitioning from QA to Web developer and I am following your great tutorials, making notes with goal to make my website. The great video you made about Web trends in 2020 helped my to make priorities in what to learn now and what to learn later, I am now learning Flexbox and also about SSH, so I am using now the time and your videos were the best, thank you for your great work you are helping people to achieve their potential...greetings from Austria and Slovakia
Good
Can we shake hands .... have been a QA .. started leaning with html
I agree wholeheartedly regarding learning and side projects. I'm currently working through your "PHP Front to Back" course and rebuilding my wordpress portfolio. THank you brad for all awesome tutorials. I'm a better programmer because of you.
I was attending a coding fellowship in hopes to finally get in the tech world as a software engineer, after 3 years of trying to get in and attending a scam bootcamp (holberton school). Now I'm at home with ADHD while I could work well in an office with other students I cannot here. SO thank you for this video it put things into perspective, you have to focus on your life even though there is a nightmare going on outside for many people..
Saw that tweet as well. Thanks for the video, Brad. This is exactly the response the Dev community needs during this time!
Thank you for pointing out the appropriate response to being stuck at home. I'm feeling inspired after this video. Anyone else?
When my country implements community quarantine my boss suggest we could work at home. And honestly to say I even more productive I guess its just so comfortable being at home and you could do many things like learn more about my passion in software development. This is so timely video Thanks Brad for lifting up our lives and help to sharpen our skills.
Thank you as always for your comments, support, and advice, as you said, right now is the time to be busy, keep our mint occupy with some kind of activity for our self or others. Take care your self and my best for everybody.
THANKS FOR sharing!
When all this over you are going to have a bunch of people who just sat around and play video games and watched Netflix all day. On the other hand, you are going to have people who spent time with their families, read books, watched tutorials and stayed productive!
Stay healthy!
This is pure humanity! I could not thank u enough for your unprecedented support for people like me!
Thanks Brad. Many people have been working full time jobs and learning to code in their spare time. Often, they are not able to devote as much time to learning as they would like. If you are stuck at home due to current events, take the opportunity to spend more time coding. It will allow you to advance your skills and will help take your mind off the things going on right now.
In my opinion, this is the best time to be even more productive. Work on that project or idea you’ve been thinking about of or had for a while. The whole world is on compulsory holiday. Be clean, prayerful and stop panicking about this pandemic. Panicking doesn’t help. Take this opportunity to think about your life and then decide what you want to do with, not just as programmer, but as human being that needs to evolve and not be stagnant in this fast moving world. God help us all. Love from 🇳🇬 to everyone keeps up with this channel. PS: I understand your panic if you or your loved one(s) happen to be affected by the virus, it’s can cause one to lose their mental state, but remember it is not as fatal(that is if you or your loved one is not at an old age) and sympathize wit you dearly. PPS: Brad, for the sake of your students around the world, please leave your beard to grow all that way. I speak for those of us who want to have full beard, but end up growing just a bunch on the side 😂😂😂
College is cancelled so now i can fully work on learning react 🙊
"College is cancelled so now maybe I can learn something!"
@@Dev3ATX 😂
Tony Dominguez LoL
Here I am trying to learn react but college continues via Blackboard(online plataform)
Thanks Brad. Really positive content as usual, that we could use now more than ever. I've been in a productivity slump lately and this video is just what I needed to see.
Brad always comes in clutch with his videos. I'm a developer and I'm super fortunate and thankful to be able to work from home and do everything full time (my company even let us take home all our equipment so I basically recreated my work setup in my bedroom lol). But, these days I've been experiencing really big mood swings. One minute I'm calm and chill and thankful and then it switches and I become anxious and scared about the whole situation. It's been making it difficult for me to stay productive so I definitely needed to hear something like this to regain my focus. Thanks Brad!
Upskilling is the best thing to do at a time like these for those who work from home
I agree with Brad. Instead of panicking, I make mobile apps and use this time to improve my skill so that someday I can do apps that can greatly help people. Use this time as an opportunity, not an excuse to do nothing.
Perfect time for anyone that had to stop working to learn code so you can work from anywhere in the future. I've been sending a bunch of my friends in the service and retail industry to your channels and udemy courses. Now is a perfect time to learn a new skill. Thanks Brad! You are the f*cking man!
This is literally the best time to write/learn code.
You’re truly the nicest content creator on here. Love your work man, keep it up!
Very true. That tweet is the opposite of what one should be doing. Think about anything to get your mind off the pandemic especially something that will better yourself.
A very good advice, especially not to watch a lot of news, as it really makes you panicked and worried, experienced it myself. Brad want to thank you for your great tutorials and all the info you share, love it. Massive thank you!!
Finally! So refreshing to hear a voice of reason. Thank you!
Thanks Brad, I've been redoing all of your Udemy courses for practice during the down time this week. I really appreciate you, man.
Thanks, Brad! Videos like this inspired peoples thinking, that everything doesn't stop and we should move forward!
Hey Brad, i really love the things that u publish here on youtube and udemy thanks for everything!!
Big love from Tel Aviv!
Brad did not say this directly but I feel the need to mention it explicitly. Take breaks ! I know lots of technologies and project can be overwhelming, but taking breaks is not just healthy for yourself, but also really helps with productivity in the long term.
Great advice.. I am still one of the lucky ones who is super busy with work and I can do it remote.. but yew definitely maintaining sanity and taking care of one self is key here. This like everything else is temporary so we have to better ourselves
0:41 no need to blur, we who follow you already saw her tweet and know her name.... had me scratching my head! I saw this before i went to sleep, woke up in the morning thinking it was a dream, until this video lol.
Thanks for this reminders Brad. Actually I'm currently working on your PHP front to back course and I'm so thankful because it's helping me a lot. Always keep safe.
This is definitely the perfect time to go through your MERN stack course, been putting it off for so long.
Brad you are an absolute legend and you just keep on giving, thank you very much good sir always a pleasure to hear from you
Agreed!
One other reason to hone your skills is to be better prepared in case your job is not that stable... It's sad but some companies are laying off workers or even shutting down completely in these situations...
Thank you Brad! You are my hero as always
Love it, don't panic, turn off the news and Netflix, get productive 🙌
CEO: welcome to the interview process sir...What's your skills?
Brad Traversy: **shows resume and knowledge skills**
CEO: open window and jump off
I'm so glad you made this video regarding this topic. I was one ot them. I started to get depressed when I went shopping and seeing the shelves empty. I was scared. I couldn't focus anymore and be productive. Thanks for this great advice. I feel better now!🤠
-zone34
thank you brad for caring about others, and how their thoughts effect their life!
Straight up. More time to practice code. Grinding my way through your Bootstrap course now. Thanks for all you do Brad!
I'm using this time to go through your course, Modern JavaScript From the Beginning. I am relatively new to programming, and I find that the course does a really good job of covering some of the fundamentals that I hadn't picked up from other good, but non-JS-focused, web dev courses. I think it's fundamentally a subjective answer to the question of what to do in times like this, but at the root of it all is that we can't always control the circumstances of the outside world that are bigger than we are, but we do get to decide each day what we want to do with the time we have. Whatever you decide, you should be trying to bring yourself closer to becoming the person you want to be, and spending your time doing things that you feel are meaningful. For me right now, I'm very fortunate to be largely unaffected by the virus, and my lifestyle is more or less insulated. I want to continue to invest into my future and my lifestyle, because I value my safety and the safety of my family, and I want to see us continue to be happy together. So, I mean, that's sorta my reason for doing this right now. That, and I'm trying to keep my lazy ass off of Halo as much as I can.
God bless and stay safe Brad greatly appreciated. You helped me a lot, Thank you
Thank You Mr. Brad Traversy, I have been following you since before you decided to make your face visible on UA-cam and I totally see that all you have mentioned here is so spot on that it is freaky. You have learned a long time ago due to your struggles on how to effectively self- evaluate and self - improve. The tweet came from a twit minded individual that obviously cannot see the forest for the trees. The crisis is the best time to reflect and act on self - improvement. Life will constantly challenge you and it will always have adversity at the forefront of it. If you freeze you loose so always be improving on yourself. I agree with you sir, Thank You._TJ
Thank you, Brad. We are passing a very difficult time. I am trying, but for a few days, I couldn't concentrate on my works. Your video will motivate me.
That's the same as what I thought of last week, I improved my portfolio and website. I started learning new technology I might not use it but I feel it's the right time to learn such things instead of watching movies ALL day.
Brad you are my prophet !!! I am have been following you since years bro! I dont care any disaster can happen! We ARE DEVELOPERS! I follow you keep going brother
man, thank you for this, big fan of your JavaScript course. This video just got me back on the buzz to focus and work hard so that I can maybe come out better on the side of this event.
You are right brother. Thanks for a great and uplifting message.
I like you and your rational way of handling problems.
Brad, I have been watching your content for a long time, and absolutely love your videos. I have been stating exactly the same things you touched on in the beginning of the video throughout this pandemic. We are all in a stressful situation, but the world is not going to end, so lets stop the fear mongering, it doesn't help anyone. Situations like this remind me why I started software development in the first place. Being able to work from anywhere with an internet connection has always been my dream (and not quite achieved, but I am getting close).
But another great video, thank you so much for being a positive person and reminding us to keep moving forward, instead of being consumed by the stress and panic that is so widespread (and unfounded). I heard the other day government officials (among others across the internet), using the phrase "the new normal". I would like to remind everyone too, this is NOT the new normal, this is an event that is happening right now, but will eventually pass and life will get back to the real normal. Just like Iran and United States did not start up World War 3, this pandemic is not going to wipe humanity off the face of the planet. So let's all keep ourselves, our families, and our loved ones safe, and stop following the greed and panic frenzy like a bunch of sheep.
Thank you Brad! Keep these great videos coming, you're an amazing teacher, and an amazing person. Peace to you and your family!
Thank you. We need more comments like this and less doomsday ones. People can only tolerate negativity for so long before they either go into a state of constant anxiety or start ignoring it. I’m about done with social media and the news. Nothing but people reiterating how horrible our situation is going to be.
Hey Brad as always, you encourage people to do better. Thanks for these tips
this is the message the world needs right now
I was so impressd by your short nw.js video. And now i am writing an application. You are so right. Improving your skills!
I am in Italy and have devoted the next 80 days to creating my own boot camp at home.
That's awesome
@@TraversyMedia Thanks Brad, so are you my man.
Love u Brad and ur generosity in giving advices
We need more sane people like Brad, Thanks Brad :)
Thank you for this great video. There is enough panic about the current situation. Not just in your country, but all over the world. If everyone deals with the situation as calmly and carefully as you do, I look to the future with hope. Thank you for quality content as always. Best regards Thomas
I'm advancing my business and my skill set during this time. I have always worked from home and this is right up my alley!
You are one of the GOOD guys! THANK YOU, lets all keep our heads held up to the best that we can.
LOL, I like that. We need more good guys right now. Too many bad ones commenting all over the place.
You are always the best, Brad. Thanks for the video.
I agree whole heartedly. I've been in a paid 2 weeks off thanks to all this, so i've just sat here on my computer for at least 8 hours a day working on my own javascript project. I feel like i've learned more in past few days than I had over the past few months.
Motivation gets you going, but discipline keeps you growing ...
I needed to hear this today. Thanks Brad.
Using the time to brush up on some SASS which I've really been neglecting in my day to day development. Hope everyone is doing okay and staying safe!
Great advice Brad! I love how you are always positive and optimistic. Could you share what you like to read or watch for self-help? Thanks and stay healthy 🙂
Awsome video! Thanks for all these free resources you are sharing here. I just started PHP and watching your series 'PHP Front to Back' . Keep safe and may god bless you and your family and everyone else. Keep posting pls.
As we English like to say - "Keep Calm and Carry On"!
Fronk I have a t-shirt “Stay Calm and Stack Overflowed” :-)
Thank you Brad, you are the best in what you do man , really!
I'm about this message 100%. I'm lucky enough to not be too financially impacted by this hysteria, but in the meantime I'm still going to use any down time I have to double down on productivity.
Great statement! I work from home for a week.Since I can't go out anywhere and can only support my parents from the outside, I surely started thinking about what I can do with my time. Thanks to your advice, I'll prepare something useful :-) While (ture) {console.log("THANK YOU!!!"}
Been using your Udemy MERN and Node API courses to build my own Slack/Telegram hybrid app, and been pulling my hair out with the database side, but you're getting me through it. Thanks for all of the great content you put out, on all platforms!
LOL I swear when you were offering suggestions to people, when you got to face cam videos, I expected you were going to finish with 'you can make face cam videos if you have a decent face.' Lol, glad you said something else and thanks for the positive video.
haha! I have a crappy face and I can do it :)
Fantastic advice! I've been spending the extra time learning python and flask ( loved your content on learning those in addition to all the other amazing resources out there )
Thanks Brad! I have been fortunate enough to be able to work from home. In my downtime, i set up ubuntu on an old pc i had sitting around. Figured out how to set up an apache server and set up ssh tunneling and pm2. I made a twitter app that that searches coronavirus tweets with geolocation and displays them on an openlayers map.
Great video, love your content / courses Brad
Working more now. Main job, building side project and helping one small business to create Udemy course for their customers since they cant organize live courses now! Work and help others!! 🤘 good video Brad 👍
You are really an awsome person, I been watching your tutorials since long time ago and tried to inspire my friend with your story and tutorials, it helped me alot with my web development freelance job and even before i watch this video i had in mind that i should keep learning and start learning animation using blender 2.8 greqse pencil since a week now and im improving i will upload to youtube soon,really thank you for always providing this kind of encouraging videos, I wish you health for you and your dearest people. :)
Thanks for the positive energy.
Great message Brad. Thanks!
Thanks Brad! It's appreciated. All the best to you and yours and keep on coding.
I'm from Italy and I have contracted the virus, I am self-isolating at home and thanks god I can still practice some coding, it is time well spent anyway. p.s. watch your self out there and never panic
I am so sorry for the unfortunate Italy has been through. My people (and all the world) are also dying and struggling to fight this wretched virus. Hope you and your family are doing well.
@@hotmanpasaribu665 hey man let's keep isolating for another while you don't want to feel intoxicated believe me even though I'm out of it now it was not a nice experience.. stay safe and happy coding
Braaaad, where is the ads?? For real, that's how I support you in this hard time.
This was definitely a helpful and inspiring video thanks Brad!
Thanks Brad, be safe.
I agree 100%. To me this whole situation feels like some sort of global hyperfocus. Obviously we have to follow the news to orient our behaviour and know what's going on out there, but I feel stressed out on social media right now, because everyone is constantly talking about the virus. Of course, this is understandable and sometimes necessary, but it just keeps distracting me from the things that are important in my life and its not helping when there is nothing productive I can do with all this information. What works for me right now is to limit my time on social media and news to certain short time periods per day, so I don't get overwhelmed by all this panic and actually get some stuff done.
After a year internship, today I got a call from company saying that I'll not get employed next month because apparently they've lost customers.
What a fuking luck.
Although it is recommended to stay at home, our boss requires of us to keep showing up at the office to do work that we could easily do from home. And that until someone at the office gets sick. We also have to work double shifts to complete our react-native long term project. If we work hard enough, we'll be able to get our duo apps out there asap. It's a match making platform for home care simplified, to find caregivers in your area willing to help you at home and our boss expects that it can be out soon enough to be used by nurses to provide covid-19 tests to seniors at home so they won't have to gather at one place piling up to get tested. Noble cause, but every day we wonder if the risk is worth the reward...
People who work on themself will never be going to stop it no matter what the situation is going.
be careful__stay safe___keep working🙌
