John Sins: a firefighter, doctor, teacher, astronaut, and self taught web developer! Is there anything you can’t do?

Thanks for the transparency, really appreciated the openness. I have been so discouraged watching other YouTubers that tell you how easy it is. It has been a struggle for me to start out. I am now 40 and been working as a software engineer for about 11 months now. Changed my life. Definitely was not easy but totally worth it.

Hey everyone, thanks for stopping by and checking out my video make sure to like, subscribe and share!

[dobbins]

Glad I found your channel man. 30 year old here on the beginning of the journey. I work a security job dead end but the plus side is i have ten hour long shifts sitting on my ass, set my laptop up in front of my cameras and get to coding every morning. Cant wait to share my success. THanks for the inspo!

[PataCraft]

I've been looking for this type of video for so long. I don't think anybody else did something like this here. All other youtubers show their current skill, but they don't show the progression and what it took to get where they are. This video is so valuable and inspiring

[jenmitz]

This makes me feel a lot better about my own portfolio. It’s so hard to gauge when you’re ready for work. I’m still not sure, but it takes so much weight off my shoulders to see what you had when you got hired. Thanks so much for this great video!

[christopherjschultz]

This was awesome getting to see your journey from beginner to most recent. My path was fairly similar to yours. Thank you Dorian!

[ashleyburns]

I’ve been practicing front end coding for the last few months and starting to get discouraged about my path, but the algorithm finally threw me a bone by recommending this video. Thank you for sharing your journey & your portfolio, it was definitely helpful! 🔥🔥

I almost cried, I have been trying so hard and feeling like I'm not making enough progress, I'm already pushing whit React, pretty much reling solely on my Python skills...
Now I decided to focus a little more on special things JS has, already finished my 1st portfolio and got really good feedback, like advice and that it was real good for my first time... I should take a break, but I feel like I can't allow myself too, TYSM FOR REAL!
omg this video was up on my b-day!

[xiampiii]

As someone that's been learning code for 4 months now, this is really encouraging. Makes me feel like I am not dumb!

[michaelrobinson]

This has given me so much life, you don't even know. Thank you!

[TheDamoo]

Thanks for showing that real process with all the rookie initial mistakes and true progress. You won a new subscriber here!

“There’s a good chance I copy and pasted some of this and patched it together”
thank you for your honesty💙

[mohammed_haddad]

This is super real and I can't express how pleased I am to come across this video/channel... keep it up Dorian, All the best.

[brittanys]

Well done on the latest portfolio. You can tell you grew professionally, yet still keeping a sense of your personality and aesthetic with colours and animations. Loved the growth!

[luisduarte]

Muchas gracias Dorian por tus videos.. Soy un Ingeniero Industrial de Venezuela de 50 años. Ahora estoy en Chile y hace mucho tiempo (25 años) desarrollé un programa para cálculos de prestaciones sociales con Fortran 77.. siempre me ha gustado la programación... ahora a mis 50 quiero darle un impulso a mi vida y estoy comenzando a conocer Python. El ver tus videos me ha dado ánimos para trazarme la meta de ser un freelance donde pueda desarrollar aplicaciones con mi experiencia en SCM... Saludos y éxitos... gracias nuevamente

Hi Dorian, my wife is a web developer now and she seeded the idea of making me a Web Developer. I was immensely reluctant coz i didnt have a college degree, untill she showed me your first video. That changed my mindset and motivated me immensely. Ever since that day, I have been learning to code daily for about 5 to 6 hours after my full time job. It's been 2 months to be precise. Finished html, css and was on JavaScript. But decided to learn it all over again. I recently bought a Web Development course on Udemy by Colt Steele and now learning it. I will update once I land myself a job
Thanks for changing my life Dorian. You're an inspiration.

[paulezekiel-hart]

it's absolutely great seeing this
I like when pros act human and by that I mean (they show us that they also had a modest beginning )
I've been coding for like 4 years now and I haven't gotten a job yet this video is inspiring me to keep pushing
Thank you

[lucasraza]

Loved seeing the progression! I'm currently making my portfolio site. Can be frustrating to look at the 'best' compared to what I have. Sometimes I forget it's the process that matters the most

[tommytejas]

Wow crazy, I felt like I was sitting beside you while you showed me what you have been doing. Great video!
