Check out Code With Friends, a coding event running for the entire month of May where we'll work on our personal projects together.
Fun times? Check. Accountability? Check. A supportive community that'll help motivate you to keep coding? Check.

"Don't be afraid to fail. Be afraid not to try."
I just read that quote somewhere.

[irkeren]

Try to build an app for your own needs with copy paste method. Run it and see the results.
And then, make yourself to understand those codes, line by line. And use that newly-found-knowledge to rebuild that app with your own logic, with the same results

1)Try
2) Coding tutorials are fundamentals for you to further differentiate into paths
3)Project based learning a)Personal motivation b) Comprrehensive skills
4) Keep prroject small

Step 1: *START*
Step 2: *DON'T STOP*

I like the “perfect practice makes perfect” line. I’ve also heard “Practice makes permanent” to deter people from repeating a bad habit and cementing the habit in place

I have a 2.2 GPA in a CS degree with 2 more years to go and every coding related video I watch makes me feel like shit. I feel miserable and watching other people succeed at their CS degree makes me feel so dumb. Except your videos Mayuko they r so motivating esp your CS degree video. I was so glad u didn't mention your grades. I have decided to lift my head up and continue this journey. I will not focus on my grades but on the actual knowledge that I gain. Thank you ❤❤

This is crazy, spent all night yesterday thinking about starting coding and asking myself how to start. I wake up open YouTube and this is the first video I see.

As a girl with 2 years experience struggling in the tech world, your vids gave me inspiration and motivation 🥰 thanks mayuko

The key thing is passion! With passion, you will progress great in any field that you are working on!

I remember watching your “day in the life of a software engineer” video the summer before my senior year of high school. It was definitely one of the reasons why I felt really excited to become a software engineer and inspired me to learn CS. I’m now interning at a FAANG and gotta say it’s really cool to see you still inspiring others to enter the field.

coding is basically:


* stackoverflow
** trying to find the error on line 31;
* stackoverflow;
** a random youtuber showing the error you're trying to solve
* stackoverflow;

3:12 "Learning the fundamentals of coding allow you to gain a certain level of fluency so that you can build whatever you want and learn what you need to build the thing" ... this is the easiest way to learn how to code tbh :)

I love that speech
She is so motivating people and I really freaking love it...

I am so happy that I found your YT channel. I had a 3 years banking career and decided to change career to software development. Throughout my journey to become a software engineer, I had ups and downs, I doubted myself, lost my motivation, started large projects and never finished. So far, every one of the videos I watched gave me some more confidence to continue and really spoke to me. I am not employed yet (so far I was constantly rejected, even though I followed a training program at a multinational local company and got there an internship), but I come up with some small ideas to implement for personal portfolio and work harder to prove myself into the field. :)

I appreciate your content!!!

My Dad always says that ever since I was a little girl!!! Perfect practice makes perfect!! I’m literally dead!! (I’m 48 and learning Python btw) I want to go into the tech world. Great video!

[elliotpark]

Really liked the emphasis on not worrying about specific technologies.

Just picking something (i.e. JavaScript) was the hardest part for me!

[OmemawaG]

I like that ... “perfect practice makes perfect”

Completely agree. I have about 2 years of Java background, and I wanted to learn python. One of the first things I built was an Alexa skill that uses data structures like dictionaries and lists, as well as http requests. Before that, I made a simple command prompt password retriever to get passwords faster than the Google Password Manager. I started learning Python in late February. I'm still learning a lot about the language and syntax, but I do that with building projects
