Everything I wish I knew. The exact advice I would give myself to become a self-taught software engineer as fast as possible. This is the framework I would use to speed up the learning process to actually get a job building web applications. Your journey may be different so don’t view this as rigid. Adapt it to your situation. For example, the frameworks you choose could be based on the most in demand tools where you live which could be different from where I live. That could mean learning Angular even though my preference is React. Best wishes.

For me it took 9 month to learn, like 6 days a week , 3-6 hours a day. 2 month of interviews and now i am >3 month into my dream job as senior dev ops engineer. Before I was truck driver with flat bed, and before that I was cell phone tower climber/installer.

I'm a senior software engineer with a little over 20+ years experience as a professional developer. I have given thousands of technical and cultural interviews over the years. The three biggest misconceptions/mistakes I see from entry-level applicants:
1. They grossly over-estimate what is expected for an entry-level developer to know. We aren't looking for perfection, we're looking for a basic understanding of the job you're applying for, and an expressed desire to learn. So many applicants graduated 6+ months earlier and haven't touched programming since, and can't even explain a for loop. It's shocking. That's almost always a no go. Keep learning.
2. No bullshitters. You cannot bullshit in this field. The technical questions are black and white, A or B. There is no gray area, and we already know the answers. If you start trying to lie and make things up, you will not get the job.
3. Professionalism. You can be a rock-star technically, but there is more to being a professional developer than sitting there hammering out code all day. You need to be able to communicate clearly with business and other teams that may not have a technical background. You need to be able to prioritize and multitask. You will always be juggling multiple things. Colleagues and management will definitely help you, but you have to bring something to the table too. WORK ON YOUR SOFT SKILLS! I volunteer each semester to give mock interviews at the university here. Soft skills are almost always among the weakest of a new graduate's skillset.

Stepping away from tutorials is the best thing I've done. I work on my projects and if I can't solve it I just Google and it sticks in my head. Also reading documentation and textbooks is a major help.

1 and a half years learning whilst working full time, about 3 months of applying, and 4 months in my first job as a full stack developer!

I have spent many years trying to get a job as a firefighter. I currently work as a paramedic in California making $18/h working 56 hour work weeks. I'm on 24-72 hours running back to back 911 calls with 0 sleep everyday. I constantly think to myself if I could only be home learning and creating projects more, I could create so much more and prove to my co-workers they are not stuck in this industry. I am currently learning JavaScript, CSS, HTML and will be moving on to C#. I have never been this motivated to learn.

Been learning for about 18 months. I also work in construction (55+ hrs/week) and have been averaging 15hrs/week coding. Been a long 2 years lol. About 3 months ago I really started getting to the point where I'm building more advanced apps (react router, supabase, redux, custom hookes, etc.). Hoping to be ready to start applying by middle of next year!

I’m 50 year old single mother of two, a litigation paralegal and tech nerd. 🤓 I’ve worn a lot of hats, run a law firm, family restaurant, and many other things, but my journalism and business degrees are worthless pieces of paper. I’m learning to code, and hoping to get my kids involved, too. I know my age is going to cause issues, but I love learning, and solving problems, so I’m ready and going for it! Thanks for sharing your story!

Been learning for 7-8 months. So much grinding. Just did my first interview. Was great to see what it was actually like. To really feel the pressure was pretty cool.

Took me 10 years to learn on my own. I started before YouTube University. But I still learned.

I've been watching youtube videos for a month now after semi-committing to the Data Analyst path, then getting cold feet and deciding I really wanted to be a dev and not stuck in a box of analytics then regretting it a few years down the road. This video is probably the most in-depth and well made video of all of them that I have watched. I am also a videographer so I appreciate all of the little things video-wise haha. Good job! I think this helped push me over the edge into becoming a dev instead before I was too committed to a path that would ultimately leave me disappointed.
Cheers!

I’m a former Police officer and truck driver. I lost my truck driving job due to a heart issue at 28. Now I’m learning pythons with hopes of someday doing cybersecurity and also doing personal development projects.

as a transitioning professional and coding prospect, i truly appreciate how this gentleman actually gets to the point and delivers the pertinent information to what is useful to learn and why. ive seen other "how i transitioned to developing" videos and they seem to be more focused on charisma and theatrics than the objective here. thank you for the insight.

I recommend transferring any notes to a google doc for permanent reference. It's really useful to have a refresher written in your own words. Learning about design can also be really important for presenting your projects - if it looks good people will think of it differently and see you in a new light.

Dude! Hi, I'm from Argentina, I lived in Ogden, UT for 8 years. Now I’m kinda lost, but thanks to this video I felt guided again, thanks for all the info you shared. I’m aiming for front end, I did a full stack boot camp, and front end is what got my attention, I enjoy seeing the results. At least for now, I feel the learning curve is shorter this way. And yeah, I hate my current job at a factory, anxiety hits hard sometimes since I’ve been wanting to change for a while now. Deep breaths and keep at it

Started my journey a little over 2 weeks ago now. Currently about to go into my final year of radiation therapy studies, however, the past 3 years or so have taught that I am not cut out for this line of work. Degree itself is relatively chill but doing my internships throughout the course made me realise that there are people who are a lot more suited than I. I am loving the odin project, doesnt make me burn out and makes everything fun.

I'm a full stack developer but that really means mostly backend development and then utilizing front-end frameworks (Angular and Bootstrap/Tailwind) but not going super in-depth. We're really backend devs doing basic frontend work. It requires clients/stakeholders that understand things are exponentially more expensive if they have to be pixel perfect or want things the frameworks don't natively support.
I completely agree with most of what you said. Getting my first job was the hardest part. After like 6 months at my first job, recruiters were blowing me up and that's continued since. A lot of what I hear about are crap jobs tho. Low pay or not open to hybrid work. Easy to turn down. I job hopped a couple times in the first 2 years as the salary increases were pretty nuts. Worked my first job for 8 months. Got a 30% salary bump at the next job. Worked there for about a year and got a 50% bump at the next job. That put me pretty close to the top of what a dev of my experience could earn and I also got a great team and a very flexible schedule. Working from home whenever I want is super nice.

Watched the whole thing and I believe this is a quality video to rewatch and really soak the advice. Your video is the most comprehensive and pragmatic approach I've seen for amateurs to understand the web development industry and how to navigate it.
