    This is the most underrated channel I've ever seen bro. No click baits, reality checks, straightforward content. I'm gonna share this on Twitter.
    Also please make a video on such complex projects ideas and solutions to work on as a developer.

    Wish I could like this twice. I’ve been at the process of becoming a developer for a little over a year, and though Ive made leaps and bounds in my technical knowledge and coding abilities I have really struggled with demonstrating my value to recruiters. Thank you so much Alex!

    I have made a cross-platform file encryption desktop software in Go, published it under MIT licence and shared on LinkedIn. Recruiters and engineers keeo telling me how much better it is than some people who just build a twitter clone

      That is pretty impressive. Yes a lot of people just make clones but then don’t go the extra mile by adding in documentation, thought process and monitoring. The more imaginative you can be the better.

    After I finished my training where the company used C#, I fell inloved with it. It's simple design, OOPness which makes more sense to me than writing javascript don't know why haha and It's the same age as me, It's a no brainer haha. You are one of the best UA-cam creators that worked with C# that I followed because you wanted to teach others to become great developers. I've been following I think over a month now. And I will continue to support this channel. Thank you.

      Yes I have it on my backlog. I would say electronics is harder but that might just be my experience from when I was at uni.

      @@alexhyettdev electronics can be challenging but getting an entry level job seems easier than in software development. Maybe it's because there's a lower supply of potential applicants in electronics. Software just seem like it's over crowded and as a result it's really difficult get that first job.
      Awesome, I'm looking forward to the algorithms video, you have a great way of explaining things

    Out of curiosity, what microphone setup are you using?

      Thank you. I am using a Blue Yeti X microphone. I have it on an arm so I can have it as close as possible but just out of shot. I added some thick curtains and cushions as well which helped a lot to get rid of echos.
