"Slow is Smooth. Smooth is Fast."
I can absolutely relate to the points and arguments you mentioned. Keep it simple and take your time.
In the words of ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu: "Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished."

Marko is a simple guy, an idiot admires complexity, and a genius admires simplicity🙇‍♂🙇‍♂

As a software engineer with 5 years of professional experience, I can relate to this topic. Great approach, to taking things slow and not overcomplicating. Thanks for sharing @Marko!

I transformed my hobby into a full-time career. I used to do a lot of physical work back in the days, but I gradually taught myself programming. Over time, I found a company that allowed me to pursue dual studies, and now, after three years of hard work, I’m proud to be working as a full-time junior backend developer. While there are challenging days and moments of stress, I’m incredibly grateful that things have turned out the way I envisioned. What motivates me the most is the past, and the job that I used to do. My development journey has only just begun. Outside of work, I also create content and am building my own software business on the side. See you at the top guys!

P.S: Hvala ti Marko na vremenu, trudu, i kontetu sto redovno pravis. Cista motivacija 🙌

Marko, I completely agree with you! I didn't somehow though about the ideas you're mentioning, now I've realized that it is the same for me - I feel joy 🙂

Slowing down is a good piece of advice. My work related [code] stress comes from two main areas - pressure to deliver in an ever decrease timespan and poorly defined or ever changing specifications. It results in having to redo things while working at a break neck speed constantly eventually leading to burnout.
The analogy I use is laying the track while the train is moving!

Ouch. The over engineering part hit me. At least on my part it paid well because I'm already expecting that our client will underestimate the task then after a few months realized that it will actually be huge, good thing that I overthink when I set it up.

What gives joy to me in coding is actually finding out that I can accomplish something that is quite impressive. It's huge because I don't even consider myself smart enough to be a dev.

Dude, I have no idea who you are, but your app in the description is exactly what I've been looking for and I'm pretty sure that wasn't the reason why your video was recommended to me 😂that app is cracked!

i follow you since your 1st video marko. am happy your channel is growing! love from Sri Lanka!

There is a big disconnect here, when it comes to real business and market. In the current climate of inflation and layoffs , everyone is under a lot of pressure to perform and work more fast to get things into production, meaning generate income for the company. Devs are not happy while coding hobby projects, they are unhappy working professionally. This is totally different than what has been said in this video

[Ferdocraft]

So much truth and chill vibes in one video. 👌

I really like these (almost) daily short vlogs, great great idea for development of the chanell

[vladimir_dev]

It's like they say, "maybe they just hate their job, and not the work"

[pHProgramming]

Stunning! Thanks for sharing your thoughts of joy as a developer (I can definitely relate to similar feelings, like formatting code manually while reviewing and slowing down with a cup of tea 😃)

[flamingopro_player]

This is the best, you cannot be unhappy as a Sw Developer

[KarimGutermann]

Great Video! Love that youre posting more frequently now, keep us the great work!

[KhanhLe-vody]

Simple but special as always. I found myself in your video. Thank you, Marko ❤

[tecyswings]

Currently studying software development in school and gotta be real school makes it so boring😂 I’m now trying it at home cuz of school vacation and I enjoy it so much more I can work on the language I really want to and I can make my own ideas. That way I also found out I don’t know anything lmao I’m kinda starting from 0 but I love it so much more!
