Hey Chris, 11 months ago i watched your video "is it worth becoming a web developer", I was so motivated by that video i started learning HTML and CSS, I was a slow learner and with no computer Background, i was so consistent that after 11 months on August 31, I started My internship as a MERN Developer, and from now on i will be focusing on Type-script and NEXT.js, Thanks a lot brother for your motivation you have made my life better.

Starting to learning code is like getting out of the walls in AoT for me but your videos are very encouraging. Thank you for that and please keep guiding us.

Already in the industry, but still like to watch your videos. Chris is right about making friends who are better than you at code and pushing you. You can learn so many things you probably wouldn't have even known about if you just kept to yourself.

[SheWhoTechs]

You are such an inspiration! Your very relatable, and so positive. I love watching your videos and seeing how much your life has changed, from starting out, to now so successful. You are a hard worker and smart person. Thank you for making these inspirational videos.

Been following you from the Jump Chris. Appreciate the advice. Hope you find the right gig for you in the future.

I started learning Python over the weekend and i made a magic 8-ball program which taught me how to use a random number generator.

Here's to hoping i learn more things that will help me jumpstart into a career.

Hey Chris, i'm a highschool student thats very interested in programming and tech, I tried to learn programming many many times and i stopped many many times, but YOU changed that, you said: "When you feel like you don't want to learn code, thats when you should learn." Absolutely life changing, i'm currently on the path of learning web development, will do CS in college and i will ACE this thing. You're helping our discipline immensely, you're motivating, you're entertaining, I really can't believe i came across this channel. Thank you Chris, you're like an idol to us ❤.

You are the second person in the past month I've heard say they would learn front end, start in front end and then transition to full stack and I have to say I agree. Specialize in one and slowly learn the other. You bring alot more value to your employer and yourself that way.

Love your videos bro. Very encouraging! Iam currently in my last year for an AAS in Web Development. In addition to that, I am coupling that with the web dev boot camp on ZTM... planning on doing some projects soon and hopefully break into the Industry by next summer...keep making content. It keeps alot of us going lol 👍

[rundat]

Thank you so much again for your sharing and your time brother 🙏

[JediWebSurf]

Damn Chris, used to watch your content back in the day. Your content just keeps getting better and better! Very pro. Setup, quality, and everything looks nice. 👍

I know you're legit cause I'm familiar with your story.

I'm watching you again cause I want to get back into coding and I know your advice and videos are going to be helpful. 🙏🏻

(I never actually learned react and idk what next.js even is. I stopped at vanilla JavaScript).

"Don't let imposter syndrome slow you down." I really needed to hear that today. Thanks for a great video!

[therundownwisaaclee]

I'm a month into learning web development and was about to make the same mistake of waiting to code. Thanks for the advice, I'm starting to compile a small portfolio based on the HTML and CSS I know already. Haven't touched Javascript yet lol.

[JonnySoAsian]

PLlease make more! This is motivating.

[Citadelband]

I love how the dog gets up when he knocked lol

[TubularAnimator]

I really enjoyed watching and learning from this while eating my all-natural bacon caesar salad.
Thanks Chris.

[knw-seeker]

Thank you Chris
Would you recommend doing small projects while learning a programming language?

[Michael-tetb]

Damn Chris! Kudos. Work in the marketing industry, and that influencer setup and transition to the sponsor was really good. Can’t tell you how many times, influencer mess that up, and it just looks like a hard sell.

[warsame]

can you make a video about the back end stuff you do? like do you work with mongo express nodeJs?
