You just gained a new subscriber from Angola🇦🇴, Africa.
I still don't know how I ended up in this incredible and wonderful video. All I know is that I was in my room watching an 11-minute video that didn't even have anything to do with programming. Someone from home called me. I threw my phone on the bed to answer the call. As soon as the phone fell on the bed, I heard another voice and subject. I soon realized it was another video, in this case, this video. Thank you very much for this incredible content.

ATT: I started studying Python on April 4th of this year (2025) and today is May 9th, 2025. Please, if you read this comment from September onwards, leave a like or comment. I'll come back to report on what level I'm at.

I've began my engineering journey in MATLAB aka the devil's language, now for my PhD I've transferred to python and julia because I want to fully master deep learning and machine learning. Your videos are super helpful!

[ابراهيمعلاء-غص]

Great ! You became one of the most content creator i prefer
Thank you from egypt

[OKIKIFX]

Always watching your video, you inspire me more

Learning python presently, I'm also learning AI and ML Engineering presently....

[RahulRaj-vdpi]

Really liked your video, man! Good work ❤

[prashantkumar]

Very genuine advice! No sugarcoating. Thank you :)

[marcin]

There’s no point in learning fast (AI will take over that); only by deeply understanding...

[ChessMate_]

Insightful video as always, Egor! For a secondary school student right now, aspiring to work in research and machine learning, what would you do in their shoes? Especially since you said AI is not a problem for the next 5 years.

PS It would be great if you start a discord for subscribers!

[Oushimoto]

I watched so many tutorials already and still feeling like I'v justed scratched on the surface. AI is deep you'll never find the bottom of it. Guessing we're all being integrated. It's an ongoing process. Thanks for the information.

[rudycarv]

Finally someone from the UK to give insights and talk about software development.

Hi Egor,
I'm glad I fountld your channel.
I live in southeast England and I work as Catalogue Developer mostly with Excel and other specific programs for the job.
Most of my time at work I am analysing and changing Data.
I bought a Postgresql course but without PL/pgSQL.

If you don't mind to give me an advice what should I learn after Postgresql?
Should I learn PL/pgSQL?

Many Thanks

[akintemitope]

Thank you for sharing this, Egor Howell. This was really helpful.

[prabhdeepsingh]

One doubt I have is
1) Building projects with the help of AI while fully understanding what is going on is better or
2) Build everything from the scratch which takes a lot of time and as a beginner i dont think one can create more than some mini projects like todo lists, etc

What is your suggestion for a beginner??

You could add Rust to C or C++ at 5:06

Hi, I'm on my second week of learning python. what is your opinion on learning a language while using AI ide like cursor windsurf and copilot?

[moizdn]

What about projects, I feel like the projects online are somehow basic and not job-ready projects, do you have project recommendations for ML engineering or science jobs to showcase your skills

[poornaabhinay]

Can you suggest any project ideas for python ?

Also thanks for the video!!

[TUSHARRAGHAV-nclp]

Bro should i choose data scientist job or software engineer? Any explainaton of how they work??

[gregorygrullonyt]

Egor I love ur videos! Also I’m really interested if you ever received any OA or Technical assessments on DSA? Like your recent machine learning engineer role not sure if you mentioned it in your other video but still interested nonetheless! 🙏
