lmao man same like I am comparatively new to coding, and one of the prime reasons I started was because I stopped feeling smart, hence I picked up something which would make me feel that again if I were to be successful at it.
this but completely un-ironically. makes me sad. maybe I can make it somewhere if I can break free from whatevers holding me back. this guy seems so disinterested in the incredible journey he's had so far.

I aspire to grow like you too! Would love to see a video on 'Journey of UA-cam' so far. That would be so nice to hear and very inspirational!

Started at 12 and gave up because I didn’t understand how conditional statements and basically the basics were gonna help me make a website. I’m 16 now tho I’ve been coding for about 6 months
@@incognitojon902 Im 16 and I've been making some API and some weird site/backend thingy in python. Ive been learning python and java since I were 12 so if you can invest some time, you can do this aswell.
This video actually helped ease the pressure when it comes to coding. I really do not regret watching this video. I will totally recommend this video for those who maybe feeling the same thing as me.
It’s helped ease?? Wtf this dude definitely had nothing else to do in his life other than coding. This and dedicated 10 to just coding, and he even started a business that was making him a lot of money but dropped it cause his friend didn’t feel like it. This guy is legit a no life when ur comes to learning, this dude could be a multi millionaire right now if he wanted to. Your legit telling me it eased it for u. This shit just made me lose more motivation, because I can’t imagine wasting all that time working and not getting to enjoy my time and play video games and watch UA-cam
Thanks for sharing your story, man. I taught myself to code (just BASIC) when I was 9, back in 1983. I was so excited by it. My father convinced me not to pursue it (said there would be no money in it), so I dropped it and studied electronics. To this day, I wonder what would have happened if I'd kept with coding. I still want to use that skill and interest (maybe combined with electronics in microprocessor based stuff), but I'm 45 now, so most of it is water under the bridge. I feel happy for you to have achieved what you have.
I love how raw this video is. And the fact he admits of not knowing what he really wants. A lot of folks in Software behave as if they are fine with their 9-5 and got all they wanted. I like Nick's drive. People and experiences over anything. 1000% agreed. Great video.
Falling in love with The Social Network and then promptly forgetting about it is the most accurate description of my programming history you could have given. Props to you.
This is awesome, cool to know that there are these talented people I can learn from, because I never had the chance to surround myself with the same talented people here in the Netherlands like you have. Great stuff 🙏🏽
That's quite the list for 24 years old. Good job man. I'm a month away from 27 and I've spent my adult years working in the systems/network side of things. My first job was as a datacenter technician at the Microsoft datacenters around here, and I'm currently stuck in a systems administrator role. Really enjoyed my web development classes in college and finally trying to transition to that side of the industry instead.
This makes no sense. He just saying he got lazy and lost his path. Has nothing to do with being a college freshmen lmao. Nobody wants a college freshmen
He went from coding “what’s up doc” 3:24 to working with super computers 8:20. Now that’s a level up, it just shows if you just put in the work you can get to places you didn’t even imagine you’d get to. Well done bro
One word - Nostalgic. When you speak i actually go back in time and visualize what i've done to actually get to where i am today. Not as glorious and as eventful as yours but i time-travelled into my past. Thank you for sharing this Nick.
This video should be called: "I didnt sleep for 10 years, this is my experience" PD: very good video bro, really your levels of knowledge and experience at coding are out of this world and I mean it bro, hope you can reach your goal at youtube
This is the first video I've watched on your channel. The editing, the soundtrack, your humor: top notch. To say your work ethic and ambition is admirable is an understatement. Awesome stuff, man. Really 👍
I am but a simple man, since I was12 I wanted to do game dev with other people and I am 19 with the same goal. That is it, pretty happy with programming for games and working with others.
What am amazing journey you had! I started learning code at age 26 and have been working full time as a software engineer since age 28 (was in the army until age 27 then took a year to keep learning).

@@DSDS-mj2gh ugh , i really hope so !! cuz i literally got a bachelor's degree in economics and management, and has done nothing with it . so this whole coding thing might be my savior lol
I have this video saved previously, so I can keep coming back to it. It always motivates me when ever I come back to it, especially when I'm feeling low about coding. You did a great job on this one, Nick.
I dont know why I am addicted to watching this video over and over whenever I need motivation learning programming. The music , story, presentation is just awesome and fit very well together.
I legit just started learning python… I’m so hyped for this to happen to me… sadly I know this may not happen the same… lmao but I have some huge plans that may make my mark in the industry… I hope I can! I know I can!
Python is a good choice. I learned Python at 12, and made Reddit bots and such. It wasn't too hard and only took 2 months. However after a while I kinda hit the roof and didn't know what to learn after that because I didn't have the mental capacity for large scale applications so I decided to learn HTML/CSS/JS. Most fun thing with HTML/CSS/JS and some php and SQL. Is making Phishing sites and duping people at my school. Just don't get caught.
Bro wtf I don't even remember what I did for like past 21 years of my life. ...I just gave exams after exams..f*ck...Now I m learning Html..If I could only experience 3-4 projects that this guy's worked on I will be satisfied..
I tried to learn C++ at 14 and my god it was formidable. My only programming experience before that was printing stuff in cmd using batch scripts. I was the fuckin man though and you could not convince me otherwise. 17 years old I liked video games and started writing dll's to inject in games to give me infinite health, stamina, XP, etc. That's when pointers, references, executable file structure (i.e. PE (i.e. portable executable) format), RVA's, how virtual memory works and Windows OS architecture, CPU registers, etc started to click. Here's my advice to someone who's stubborn and also wants to learn C++ in a fun way that kind of immediately gives you tangible results. Make some hacks for single player games like Deus Ex: Human Revolution, the Master Chief collection campaigns, etc. Games where you won't be griefing other people trying to have fun and being a douche. You'll learn a lot and it will be super fun. Of course you'll prob start with Assault Cube. But game hacking will give you deeper insight to how Assembler works like opcodes, why segmentation faults occur, how paging in memory works, page permissions, kernel and user space memory, x86 vs x64 bit architecture, little and big endianness, a very firm grasp on pointers, if you get into it also ESP hacks and/or being able to see enemies through walls which requires knowledge of things like graphics programming, linear algebra, matrices, matrix multiplication, etc. It was a really great learning experience for me in which I never hurt anyone because I only did this in offline, single player games and it didn't defeat the purpose of the game because the challenge was still there. The challenge was just different in that I was dealing more with the architecture and stuff of the game I was hacking rather than just playing it. Playing a game with hacks isn't fun, it gets old very fast and unrewarding. Learning how to hack a game and the challenge of doing it is a ton of fun though and you learn a ton. Good luck.
I can understand how you feel ,and many thanks for the great in sights included in this video . When we're going to a different periods out of life ,shit constantly change , the time when we're most happier is just flying so quick . In the end is only you : ) and the most difficult part is to win against yourself .. Wish you well
I’m 23 now and wish I starting coding when I was in high school, I would have learned so much by now and my life would be so different. Now at 23 I kind of feel too old to start learning but I’m doing it anyway because I don’t want to be 30s and regret not starting to learn when I was in my early 20s.
Well i am 18 and i felt like , all these UA-camrs and kids age 11-16 learning and knowing so much , i started getting sad that i didn't start in school , but now i know there are people who never gave up on their dream even after being older than i am , and started somewhere why can't I , i will start as well .
Ahh yes, good ol' Codecademy HTML tutorial was my introduction to development, back in 2017. Didn't know anything about "coding," just recognized "HTML" and started with that. Was a counselor at a rehab, and decided I'd rather work with computers instead of humans, so started learning in my free time, went back to community college took some classes etc. 4 years later landed my first job, I'll be starting in mid-June (hint: learn C# there's tons of jobs out there).
Coding sounds like a good place for a workaholic. Also , what I've recognized is that coding is one thing but algorithms is a whole other thing. Coding is easy. Algorithms , not so easy.
I think the best thing to describe it is. Algorithm is the idea and the process/Phases Coding just transferring an algorithm into a language like c/c++/python. And that's easy if you have a good algorithm and not a complicated one. So yeah algorithm is hard bcs it's start from scratch, while coding just transferring that algorithm into a code. And btw yeah generally speaking you can do the same program in deferent coding languages. You can for example make a calculator in every coding languages. So yeah that's interesting 👀
Amazing, Im on my grind still. I'm in freshmen year and grinded my way into an internship. internship people have been happy with my work and want me to work on projects in the future! highschool extra curricular coding grind was worth it.
I have been coding for 3 years now and thanks for this video... I was a bit scared exploring new techs but now I think am ready to conquer this... Thanks for the inspiration
Honestly this is the most realistic.. how I became a Software Developer story out there.. usually they are like oh i taught myself C++ in months and then got a job at google... but man your worked your ass off..Im bummed out I didnt study software engineering.. And shoutout from a Syracuse Native
the most exciting part of this was seeing how popular music has evolved in the last 10 years. super stoked to see what happens with the more prevalent decline of music labels
I'm currently 15, I know a bit of both C# and Python and just got an internship that tasked me with learning MYSQL in a weekend, so far I'm doing pretty good
I interned at the NCSA around the same time as you did (May - August 2018)! It’s really weird thinking that I could have seen you and just never realized it (whether NCSA, campus, Brother’s).
it's impressive how much you've done. I have a hard time following through on my ideas, but this was very interesting to look at 2018 for me as a sophomore physics and mathematics major that codes. I want to go to graduate school in Urban-Champagne for physics but coding will definitely be a part of any project I work. kind of inspiring to see what you can do if you just put in the work when you have the opportunity. cool video
I love the intro. It reminds me how i was also inspired back then with a movie which is pirates of the silicon valley. Thanks for sharing/flexing your carrer! this is amazing!
How tf you do so many things in that span of time like when I was in college all I did was sleep, laptop, attend some classes and seminars, and repeat like wtf Nick, and if you read this comment thanks for all of these good content and I want to ask the name or profile of that facebook guy who tutors you.
when i was 12 i tried some java but i felt lost so i gave up for 3 years now i am trying to get really good at programming before college but looking at really good programmers make me feel like i can never be a programmer
I'm currently learning to code at 14, just started. I'm as serious as can be while still maintaining my grades at school and learning other stuff such as business and neuroscience. My brother is 12 and is learning to code.
dude, I like your video! Quite enthusiastic and motivative. Just learn coding for like half a year, got a little bit confusing about future now. But your video somehow gives me power to keep going on. Thanks for uploading, best wish from Taiwan~
just come across your video man. i have been trying to code for the past year but never was really consistent with it, coding makes me feel like i have enter a whole different universe when i'm doing it from watching your vid it gave me that drive to want to code again you earn my sub bro
You are awesome Nick. You have so much experience in such a short time. You have done a lot. Hope the world will be back to normal soon and you’ll get to enjoy even more of it.
It was nice watching and understanding your overall experience. I'm 37 from India, started my web dev journey last year when the pandemic hit. I'm not a grad, it's not easy to get a job in tech if you aren't a graduate, freelancing has been dry so far cuz majority of Folx here dont understand or comprehend the importance of web presence so client outreach has been sucky and dry, online platforms like up work is ruled out so yeah it's frustrating but I still keep pushing myself with the hope, one day things gonna change. Not sure how long I could continue like this being unemployed but hey, hope is what's keep me alive. So that's my experience, thought of sharing with ya cuz you seem like a cool dude. Good luck to you mate. Cheers
I'm 18 now and started programming in August for my first programming class in college. I'm in love with it now and currently learning DSA. This is very inspiring. ty Nick

Well i am 18 and i felt like , all these UA-camrs and kids age 11-16 learning and knowing so much , i started getting sad that i didn't start in school , but now i know there are people who never gave up on their dream even after being older than i am , and started somewhere why can't I , i will start as well .
Ahh yes, good ol' Codecademy HTML tutorial was my introduction to development, back in 2017. Didn't know anything about "coding," just recognized "HTML" and started with that. Was a counselor at a rehab, and decided I'd rather work with computers instead of humans, so started learning in my free time, went back to community college took some classes etc. 4 years later landed my first job, I'll be starting in mid-June (hint: learn C# there's tons of jobs out there).
Dope I’ve been learning C# and Java. MSSQL for databases. Hearing there’s jobs out there motivates me more
i love how jobs for this guy are basically just a party that ends and gets renewed every 9 months
Coding sounds like a good place for a workaholic. Also , what I've recognized is that coding is one thing but algorithms is a whole other thing. Coding is easy. Algorithms , not so easy.
I think the best thing to describe it is.
Algorithm is the idea and the process/Phases
Coding just transferring an algorithm into a language like c/c++/python.
And that's easy if you have a good algorithm and not a complicated one.
So yeah algorithm is hard bcs it's start from scratch, while coding just transferring that algorithm into a code.
And btw yeah generally speaking you can do the same program in deferent coding languages.
You can for example make a calculator in every coding languages.
So yeah that's interesting 👀
Man, this flex just never ends.😂
Thank you.
*realisation hits hard *😔
Why ?
this vid was dope Nick great storytelling makes me wanna tell my story too
You guys always comment on each other's video!! 😂
Tell your Story!!
Code Academy got me started too! Learned front end development pretty fast, then started using Udemy for everything else even now as a developer
Amazing, Im on my grind still. I'm in freshmen year and grinded my way into an internship. internship people have been happy with my work and want me to work on projects in the future! highschool extra curricular coding grind was worth it.
Man, the moment he said " asthma " i clicked subscribe.
I feel You man, asthma is a fucking weakness it holds you back from the simplest things.
Wow, Nick! This was good. Thanks for uploading this one. I'm the one who was in your live today. 🙂
I have been coding for 3 years now and thanks for this video... I was a bit scared exploring new techs but now I think am ready to conquer this... Thanks for the inspiration
Was knowning this video is gonnna be great!! Saw some part of this live 🎉
you are extremely underrated, this whole video is incredible
This was great dude
Honestly this is the most realistic.. how I became a Software Developer story out there.. usually they are like oh i taught myself C++ in months and then got a job at google... but man your worked your ass off..Im bummed out I didnt study software engineering.. And shoutout from a Syracuse Native
Hw
sweet vid good to see the overview and journey so far. best wishes for your future journeys!
the most exciting part of this was seeing how popular music has evolved in the last 10 years. super stoked to see what happens with the more prevalent decline of music labels
Whoa! This has the making of a Netflix story. Great job with the video editing.
I'm currently 15, I know a bit of both C# and Python and just got an internship that tasked me with learning MYSQL in a weekend, so far I'm doing pretty good
Yo, how'd you get one, I kinda want a coding internship too, if you can help
I interned at the NCSA around the same time as you did (May - August 2018)! It’s really weird thinking that I could have seen you and just never realized it (whether NCSA, campus, Brother’s).
That was very inspiring!! You’ve had some huge milestones man. Congratulations
it's impressive how much you've done. I have a hard time following through on my ideas, but this was very interesting to look at 2018 for me as a sophomore physics and mathematics major that codes. I want to go to graduate school in Urban-Champagne for physics but coding will definitely be a part of any project I work. kind of inspiring to see what you can do if you just put in the work when you have the opportunity. cool video
This video , especially the intro has an awesome 80s movie vibe that gives me nostalgia. It always motivates to continue coding and learning.
oh sh*t, I was also inspired by the social network LETS GO!! New generation of coders here!
I love the intro. It reminds me how i was also inspired back then with a movie which is pirates of the silicon valley.
Thanks for sharing/flexing your carrer! this is amazing!
The amount of knowledge n experience he has is just amazing ✨💕
How tf you do so many things in that span of time like when I was in college all I did was sleep, laptop, attend some classes and seminars, and repeat like wtf Nick, and if you read this comment thanks for all of these good content and I want to ask the name or profile of that facebook guy who tutors you.
lmao, I think he didn't sleep. Look at his eyes
This video just randomly showed up in my feed this morning. Found it very inspiring! Just earned yourself 1 more subscriber!
inspiring ....gives one the urge to keep on going
This is really well made documentary level type of video. It feels like you’re breaking it down really well enough for anyone to understand.
I always find it funny whenever someone claims their coding career started in their early teens.
when i was 12 i tried some java but i felt lost so i gave up for 3 years
now i am trying to get really good at programming before college but looking at really good programmers make me feel like i can never be a programmer
what do you mean
I'm currently learning to code at 14, just started. I'm as serious as can be while still maintaining my grades at school and learning other stuff such as business and neuroscience. My brother is 12 and is learning to code.
@@regretdedicationsls5572 learning neuroscience lol
@@brent2004 whats wrong
dude, I like your video! Quite enthusiastic and motivative. Just learn coding for like half a year, got a little bit confusing about future now. But your video somehow gives me power to keep going on. Thanks for uploading, best wish from Taiwan~
Freaking awesome man, what an inspiration
crazy how much have done, accomplished, and experienced; thanks for sharing!
Look how Nick White taste of songs change over 10 years.
just come across your video man. i have been trying to code for the past year but never was really consistent with it, coding makes me feel like i have enter a whole different universe when i'm doing it from watching your vid it gave me that drive to want to code again you earn my sub bro
Yo from Ukraine :)
Your video is amazing and story is so warm and funny. I enjoyed it and subscribed. Continue please!
:)
ur exactly this guy i wanna become. But its hard.. gl bro
I loved the intro song...giving me nostalgia
You are awesome Nick. You have so much experience in such a short time. You have done a lot. Hope the world will be back to normal soon and you’ll get to enjoy even more of it.
One of the best 10y programming videos :)
hello from buffalo. Being feeling down lately. This video got me motivated, Thank you
It was nice watching and understanding your overall experience. I'm 37 from India, started my web dev journey last year when the pandemic hit. I'm not a grad, it's not easy to get a job in tech if you aren't a graduate, freelancing has been dry so far cuz majority of Folx here dont understand or comprehend the importance of web presence so client outreach has been sucky and dry, online platforms like up work is ruled out so yeah it's frustrating but I still keep pushing myself with the hope, one day things gonna change. Not sure how long I could continue like this being unemployed but hey, hope is what's keep me alive. So that's my experience, thought of sharing with ya cuz you seem like a cool dude. Good luck to you mate. Cheers
why is upwork ruled out?
I'm 18 now and started programming in August for my first programming class in college. I'm in love with it now and currently learning DSA. This is very inspiring. ty Nick
copyrights on this video. I appreciate your sacrifice nick
People who have disliked this video are just jealous of him and don't want to accept that this guy is super cool, super successful, super handsome :)
Inspiring stuff! Love to see ambitious people who are younger than me. It's tragically rare these days
now i realized where i stand ..thnx man
early gang let's gooooo, also hi nick love the leetcode tutorials!
I love your explanation for what you wanna do. I really missed people last year as well. And I really want to get involved again
