i started watching tim back in the day, he and bucky roberts from new boston taught me everything i know about about programming today, and i managed to get a software developer job in florida, without going to university or getting a computer science degree, i'm glad to see you've grown brother, God bless you, i seriously dont know where i'd be without you man, i'm from kenya btw

These are really good. I’ve been compiling a list as well and I definitely have some overlap. Thanks for posting! Very valuable video

I’ve been dabbling with programming for years as a hobby (I don’t want to work in software), had no reason to use it, now I have a very specific website idea in mind and it’s all suddenly falling into place. A clear project end view is so important! Build yourself cheat sheets on structure, syntax, elements and functions for the different languages you want to use. 🙌

I was forgetting how much I love this guy and his content.
I was starting to learn Python in 2020 during lockdown when I found your channel, and I started binge watching all of your videos. They helped me a lot!
Now I've been working as a web developer for 18 months and I feel like I owe it to you.
Thank you ! <3

Tech With Tim hi, thank you for creating your wonderful easy to understand, great explanations, very thorough easy to follow along with videos! Much appreciation to you. Please keep the videos coming when you have time. I'm a new follower of yours! Looking forward to seeing more video content.

I was learning Python and watched numerous tutorials, but now I find myself struggling to write code and create anything meaningful. Whenever I attempt to work on something, I feel like I'm not making any progress, leading to a sense of demotivation. It seems that I forget everything I've learned whenever I try to start a project. I could really use some guidance and help to overcome this situation.

Loved this video, very on point from pov of someone who just started as a jr dev (basically) since 6 months back. Biggest lesson maybe, to anybody: YOU CAN LEARN ANYTHING! Very critical to just not close your mind or limiting yourself from the getgo and dismissing your own potential in learning, especially because programming is one of those things that has concepts come into practice in a ton of different ways (so I'd say learn the concept first and then try to visualize the different paths to accomplish an objective). Good luck to ppl in the field, especially beginners

Thank you for the tips. These 5 problems and tips were actually as you said as a beginner. And I'm looking forward to improve it overtime. Thank you ❤

Love from a Beginner❤
Love from India❤

Keep up with the great stuff🎉

"It's not a competition" is a big one for me.
Love the video, Tim
Thanks for the content

[marazDNG]

Man I just see myself there :D . They're definitely things I wish someone told me when I started. I figured it out myself after some time but it would save me quite some trouble. Recently I helped a friend who started coding and I stressed points from frustration up to master your tools as the most important things for him to remember. Now waching this feels like "Yeah... I wish I knew sooner..." :D

[pogmij]

Thank you for useful information, Tim!

The “You can learn Anything” was epic mate. Well Played!👏

[AlanMeigs]

This was great advice, I've mostly reached this mindset already, but some of it was new to me (or I've been ignoring). I know I need to learn git better, I don't know what bash means, and I am confident docker containers are critical. They are weird and hard, and a new way to think. That said I will put in the time, because it will improve my projects.

[sayedakbarali]

i had followed along your js tutorial, Its one of the best & thanks for inspirational part.😌😌

[alimihakeem]

Thanks for this beneficial content.. it's really helpful. I so much love the way you explain your coding tutorial in details. It has really helped me.

[doriihorv]

I am so so thankful for all of your videos!

[redoanhasan]

that's really gonna help me out to set the right mindset for me . thanks buddy great video ❤
