Chris I am back on learning to code. I always enjoy your content gives me hope.

[carlosvilla]

Got it! Have a custom portfolio and commit code frequently!

[humaidahmedabuzinjal]

Basically, dont have a life and code every day before getting hired. I think its better to learn the skill on how to market yourself

Chris Sean, I was entertained while learning from what you shared in this video.
I just shared it on my Linkedin.
I have been one of your subscribers for years.
I found you here on YouTube years ago when I was searching for proof of self-taught software engineer success.

In a few days after everyone seeking employment watches this, you can rename it to "how to be ahead of 80%...", then 50%, then 1% 😂

Change Css color on h1, push to git, rinse repeat

I like this advice so motivated to get better naturally...thank you Chris more power and stay resourceful contents.

Thanks for the great content, Chris!
I'm currently learning html & css and this video came just in time.
I chose to learn front-end from books (the head first series). I know it's a longer path but I trust it will pay off in the end.
Keep up the great work ❤

My friend got a interview just off her cv they didn’t even look at her portfolio she just had to do a test.

I can push random ass code 10 times a day changing one line of code. Should i do this if it gives me greater chances of a job?

When you hit your 1000 git commit you will feel the change in your thought and how you write code.

Hi Chris.. Thank you for always putting up resourceful contents... I've been following your posts quite a while now on spotify and youtube.. Thank you very much... I am a first class graduate of surveying and geoinformatics... bur I'm currently transiting into Software development.. I've mastered HTML and CSS to a great extent.. I just started Java script tutorial.. I'm desperately looking out for any internship or junior developer role to get my feet at the door...

I don’t think these green ticks are the best measurement. I’ve been writing code every day for the past 2 years, but since I write in a company’s private repo, its not shown

[giorgimindiashvili]

Thank you, you always think about new developers and give us advices <3 love u

[janlendlperalta]

Thanks for sharing this pre, my bootcamp mentor also told me this… start populating those greens 😊

[hamsteroncoffee]

I am sorry, but the person with everyday green github boxes is not a normal personal. If I were an employer, seeing this would be a red flag for me. You also mention you know him and he is toxic... Who would want that in their company?! Wtf?!?

[psilo]

do you think web developer (html+css+JS) is an easier/better path than back-end .NET stack (C#) or JAVA? could be a good video subject.

[nadjibm]

nice idea i do that, but please i have a question if should i put my learning repo privet or public ?(scripts, project, tutorial.. etc) ??
