5 Things I Wish I Knew Before Starting Programming

A lot of software engineers have made videos on the things they wish they knew before starting programming, so I figured I'd share the 5 things I wish I knew before I started coding.

Me one minute before dying: It's great time to start coding...

[andrewdavid]

Great to hear man, I am 99 years old and was worried I'm too old to start coding.

[TheYoungGun]

Currently in my mother's womb. Probably a good time to start coding

[alyssaw]

I'm literally only about a week in my coding journey and the whole developer/engineer thing had me so confused too!!! Thank you so much for this video!

[baqerm.mousavi]

Me one week before exam's : it's a great time to start coding

[stevehardwick]

Thanks for this video, Clément - as a 56 year old beginner, I appreciate your insights and words of encouragement!

[azukapatrickebeh]

Great guy, with an ability to convey stuff straight to one's head. I love the humour in your teaching.. Just started to learn coding.

[beloved]

You killed this video! Clear, encouraging, entertaining, memorable and to the point -- superb! Thank you!

My 91 year old grandma wants to learn how to code

I told her to go for it

Edit: thanks for 1k likes
Edit: she's not 91

I started late with coding, but it was such a great experience, it really changed my mind and the way to think.

[yuko]

I'm 29, about to turn 30. I just started learning coding, thanks for the encouragement!

[madifz]

I just turned 30 in sep. I’m only starting to learn python. It’s so much fun and I’m so happy there are channels like yours that are so encouraging for late starters.

[scottmckenna]

I'm 71, soon almighty God will help me code.

[anastasiaoikonomou]

Started when I was 19 and feelt so intimidated and embarrassed because I am a female and started so late comparing with my classmates who all had started when their were around 11-13

[joshuanine]

I really appreciate the first one because I am just getting into coding and I have been recently thinking I started the wrong thing. So I was thinking of going back to what is normal. Thank you for letting me know age doesn't matter.

[techlumpy]

No body:
Clement:No!!no no no no no no no.

[madameproblemes]

I can't thank you enough for this video ! Since english is not my first language I sometimes don't get parts of the videos I watch but yours is just so clear. You articulate very clearly I feel like I learned so much in such a short video

[tofu]

im in the middle school and im so interested in programming and maybe after a years i can get a job to help my mom

[Landuytfamily]

Very encouraging for a beginner. Some of my questions and worries have been sorted. I'm learning Javascript at the moment. Thank you.

[wachowski]

I absolutely loved how sincere and genuine you were when you said "any age is a great age to start when you have passion and grit" because I just started at age 24 and it's been daunting and I get doubts sometimes and anxiety (knowing people my age are already starting their careers right now) but I know I'm pouring my heart into it and the way you said that was just so re-affirming and positive to hear. Thank you :)
