Software engineers watch more YouTube videos than any other professional on earth!

Write the code so only you can read it, thats how you stay relevant.

Thanks Mayuko to make me realize that I am no alone in this boat of learning though failure, and conclude that if we face those moments as growing for ourselves ones we can go far a be very good professionals in all the aspects .

You're like a sister software engineer/programmer that I never had. We think the same way. Software engineering is indeed a lesson in humility for me. keep up the good work Mayuko 👍😉

[TheGunman]

Love your honest response and overall experience explanation!

[taipham]

Thank you for making this video! Your pieces of advice are really helpful for not only software engineer but also for others who have to code for their work :)

[matteolinux]

mayuko, have you ever thought about making your own Swift online course... I think you could be a great teacher!
bye from Italy! Ciao!

I started as web developer and self studied swift and iOS, now Im working on an app for a bank. Keep grinding.

[misty.mayhem]

your personality is so engaging. LOL love the honest authentic vibe you give off. <3

I'm sitting here nervous as heck because my manager recommended me to take a coding challenge for entrance into a program offered in my company. I still struggle with feeling like the stupidest person on the various teams I've been put on, but the video reminded me that failing and picking yourself up is a fundamental in this field. Gonna go take that challenge now and accept whatever happens, thanks ^_^

This really helpful and a real confidence boost!! I had been struggling a little, worrying that what I was stuck on was a roadblock, but thinking of it as a few mistakes instead has given me a new perspective! Keep up the great content!

Soo i don't know how big of a thank you i want to give but it's BIG. I've had this fear of how much i need to learn for the longest time. Ur approach makes it less overwhelming.

[christachandler]

Thank you for sharing. My College Teacher actually shared this :)

[rahmatabadi]

I am a life long learner. I spend 18 hours a day for reviewing the "old" things I already knew and learning the new ones. I read a lot of documentations or randomly-chosen blogs and try to decipher the code and make it much better.

[brianstarks]

Great video! I'm a not a Dev but I work around a ton of them as a IT Specialist. This applies to the tech industry in a whole and was very well put. Love your videos!

[BlueTreeCode]

Just subscribed :) Everything's a learning process. For me I really wanted to get into web development, so I took courses on both frontend and backend. Now I'm just sharpening those skills by working on projects.

[ckernest]

Hi Mayuko. Thanks for your video. Honest and true about learning new tech skills.

[julielong]

I have 4 years coding experience. I still learn a lot from your videos and you pull me out of a hole that I am not good enough since I always feel like I don’t know enough.

[khushchopra]

Thank you. Accepting your current situation is the first step to learn new skills. Was having a freak out, your advice helped.
Great videos. 😁
