If you could sit through a TechLead video and still don’t get discouraged, congratulations, you’ve passed the motivation test. 😂

Coding is the only occupation that I could think about, outside of organized crime, that allowed my lazy self to earn enough money in an Eastern European country to have a decent life.

is watching your videos still worth it in 2024, that's the question

[YenVietSoft]

Telling people no need to learn code anymore and yet promoting for skillshare 😅 our guy is special 😂

[nownomad]

This is what happens when you become the tech lead. You start forgetting that someone still has to write all that code that is integrated into every small, medium or large business of today.

my dentist once told me after around 10 years of studying that studying dentistry is not worth it and after 8 years of working he hates it, well now after 8 years of work he is getting a lot of money and lives comfortably, my point is this the typical point of view for any one who spent years in the same field, they feel it is not worth it,

so it is not worth it for you, but for us it does, and we won't always be employees, after sometime we can do our own business .

the field will always be there, but in different ways . it is changing but not dying. so we need to cope with it over time

Been writing music for 37 years and at the age of 50 just after just one year of python coding, have coded my own midi generator to speed up my work flow for writing music Was it worth it to learn coding at 49 years old. Hell yes it was worth it. custom software for personal use is going to become very popular.

He did not want others to enjoy the life as he does. Coding is still worth it.

Software development is not just about writing software, it is about solving problems creatively with software. Coding is one of many skills you need to be a software developer.
AI will replace software developers? No, it will only help developers to do work quickly so that better software can be delivered in the same amount of time. Innovation will always be a human endeavor.

Being a coder in a south asian country, and having opportunity to do remote jobs allowed me to earn a salary that would have taken 20+ years in any other way. Also entrepreneurship is not for everyone. I pretty much sacrifice all of my social life because of the work that i do outside of my job, just to get up small microsaas so I can stop doing job soon.

I'm a translator (German to English). I've been told that my profession was going to be eradicated by automation/AI ever since these buzzwords were created. Turns out that (as a contractor) my income has only increased over the years, and the work has only gotten increasingly more complex.

Even though I do not have a technical background, I can say with confidence that AI/automation is highly overrated. I think programming will always be relevant, it's just that the nature of the profession will change over time. How that will look like, I'm not sure. But I believe it will involve still having intricate knowledge in programming, but it will more look like project management.

[scientist]

The video is a humorous and exaggerated take on the drawbacks of coding as a career. The speaker uses irony, sarcasm, and hyperbole to mock the coding delusion and the slave programming skills. He also contrasts coding with other more appealing and profitable opportunities, such as the media layer and the entrepreneur programming skills. The video is also a clever way to advertise the sponsors, Skillshare and Keychron, by integrating them into the narrative and the theme of the video. The video is entertaining and informative, but it should not be taken too seriously or literally.

I absolutely love this guy. He inspires fear and terror into the hearts of some many potential future developers. Thus making my job so much easier.

Take away. He’s scaring off my competition.

Love it.

[travismorin]

Keep it up! These vids keep the competition low :D

[hafsaabdelkader]

I agree with you that some languages seem a bit peculiar, and spending three years in college might not be everyone's cup of tea. However, you can totally pick up coding on your own! Personally, I'm aiming to become a web developer, creating and managing my own company.

[life_life]

I think this basically the best time to learn to code. It's so easy now. So learn to code and then add more skills to your skills stack.

1. Quit coding
2. Go zip lining
Great advice! That’s sure to put food on the table.
