ImNotGoodEnough.js

Watch as I walk you through a typical example of the "imposter syndrome" related anxiety I experience on a regular basis and then show you how I overcome it by breaking down complex problems into smaller, more manageable ones.

The feature I am recreating in this video is from Kippo's website (link below).

"When I break down the big problem into a bunch of smaller problems, the whole thing becomes manageable."
This is the formula most people need.

As a back-end focused beginner, I have so much respect for front-end devs after this video. It's not an easy task to make a good looking UI.

Makes me feel great knowing that I have similar thoughts to an actual good developer! Your content is amazing, I know your viewership is, not good.. but I really hope over time more and more people discover you!

[owenparsley]

This is so strangely calming, even as someone who isn’t a front end dev. Everyone always says “break up your big tasks into little ones to make it less overwhelming” but actually seeing someone go through that process helps a lot. Thank you.

I really like the style and editing of your videos they're fun to watch and don't feel like tutorials. I hope you make it to 100k subs before the end of the year.

I've worked as a frontend dev for a bit now and I always felt super anxious about any of this animation kind of stuff because I really just find CSS to be a pain in the ass so I'm just not very well studied on it, so my default is to just go look for some JS framework that will do it for me, but you breaking down stuff like this has really made me realize that it isn't as bad as I thought.

My original thoughts were: "I'm still very early in my learning journey. I have no business watching this video"

But you did a phenomenal job explaining your thought process and techniques used. Thank you

[adammarostica]

A+ content! And relatable as hell. Thanks for doing what you do.

[hamzamalik-lnch]

As a person learning front-end development with an anxiety problem, this video is a godsend. Thanks man.

[ferpalaciosd]

This may be one of the most valuable videos I've seen on YouTube. I don't even mean it in a programming, code, or front-end way – I'm purely speaking of mental health. Your process of breaking down a seemingly big, impossible problem into tiny, step-by-step choices and tackling them one at a time in a way that seems approachable and doable for even a layman... no words. Truly amazing, man.

[TheRealDucko]

Honestly a perfect balance of entertainment and education for current and wannabe web developers. You have helped a ton with my thought process especially!

[CouchSquirrel]

Such a good video. Please, never stop making content, whether in this format or your other stuff. I'm a junior front end engineer, and your videos are by far the best "proficient, but looking to learn more" content I've found.

[ampersignia]

For once a tutorial in an inner monologue format. This is how learning feels and I’m glad someone is doing it 🥺

[ritchisen]

Wow. Not only am I stressed out about my future in programming, I'm also stressed out due to personal reasons rn. This video just gave some air to sort through all my problems and gave me a breather I very much needed. Thanks a lot, you don't know how great of a help you are, not only in programming, but also outside of it. You just earned another subscriber.

[danielbuckland]

I've never subscribed to a programming channel so fast. This was honestly the video I needed to see.

[rpatini]

Man, I dont know why I didn't found your channel before, the way you bring the "tutorials" are amazing, thanks for it, for real!!

[AdarshKumar]

Love the internal monologue. greatly helps in understanding

[yeabsiragetahun]

"Would have I come up with it if I haven't seen this" is the feeling I get every time I see something creative.

[sabeetspongiinchowdhury]

I've seen so many front end videos from other YouTubers but not only is your content a breath of fresh of air, the exact way you present it is so educational, worthwhile, and frankly, quite therapeutic.

If you have the time and energy, please keep making this type of content!

[HarrisonEpperson]

I've been a full stack dev for over 6 years now.

This is probably the best programming videos I've seen. It so cleanly mirrors the thought processes so many devs go through with imposter syndrome and immediately demonstrates how to effectively tackle a problem while in that head space and making room for mistakes.

I immediately shared it in my team chat.
