“Have something in mind to build” This is solid gold advice for people getting into programming. Once you get that “aha” moment and you build something for yourself, it feels so good. Use this to develop your passion for programming, and slowly start building more and more complex projects.

[chillmechanic]

As a programmer of 4 years, this is really useful for someone who wants to start programming.

[williamvikanstromsnes]

as a person working in this field, your advice is very good for beginners

[qrdfufe]

I find it so cool that I have been listening to college info geek for years and following you and now I got into coding too this year and here you're making content about that

[kylemckell]

Your excitement for learning code reminds me of when I started my self learning journey 5 years ago (albeit, yours is much more productive and focused!)

I've been slacking lately with my personal coding, but this video has triggered something in my brain to start coding for myself again. Amazing video, and congrats on your learning!

[DiegoLlamozas]

This video is brilliant, a new series about Thomas learning different stuff and showing us the process would be really cool.

[abelsantiagocortes]

Crazy how, if you remove all the technical details about programming, the video still does an excellent job explaining how to learn anything proficiently within a year. Congrats Thomas.

[MG_Jad]

Super helpful and inspiring video. I recently started learning JS and was feeling frustrated with my progress, and you've highlighted the mistakes I've been making in my journey. I'm going to get back in to it now - thank you!

[its_past_here]

My hero is back with the right video I needed right now. 😅❤❤❤❤ Massive love for you Thomas Frank

[laraprudencio]

Your real talents are: time management and learning skills! Super impressive video, Thomas! You can do anything!

[ElieBeth___]

Great to see you post videos again 👏
As always, you provide clear and holistic advice. Couldn’t be more timely as I’d like to learn JavaScript for Notion and website 👌

[the_horror_fan]

It is good to see you on youtube again. I have a BS in Computer Science and a Masters in Information Technology. I am glad you are talking about your journey and really want to see what you got to say. Welcome back.

[malawianprogrammer]

Been in the industry for some months now after completing a CS degree - your video was really good and informative for an early-stage career programmer like me - particularly your recommendations. Gosh, I wasn't aware that so many tools to improve programming efficiency existed! Thank you for the deep dive.

[hellobro]

This guy is truly a genius, he is a full-time youtuber and owner of several businesses and at the same time he learned programming and achieved a good level. I have been learning coding for some time now and it's not actually easy at all.

[claudiumihai]

I've been waiting for this video for a while. The level of excitement that overcame me upon seeing the thumbnail was embarrassingly high.

[irgendwer]

This is truthfully top notch and high quality Content.
I thank you wholeheartedly.

[seg_fault]

I started around a year ago. I'm in the middle of working on a client ecommerce site. From scratch! Love to feel so related with your journey. We've been in sync since notion days.

[mayraamaral]

I work with Software Engineering since 2021 and I study programming since 2015. Your video is one of the best made in Youtube that I've seen. Congrats on your learning journey, I'm excited about what you will build next!

[diegolikescode]

before even watching I gotta say this: really respect the timeframe. 1 year is enough to get a pretty good grasp of programming and I'm saying this because 3 months is not enough, 3 weeks is a joke, but 1 year is alright. Good content as always, Thomas <3

[djo_shorts]

Really happy for you bro.. welcome back 🎉
