This video just reads like the introduction to a new JS framework.

Thanks bro I will no longer hold back! Uber for dogs will be coming faster than you know it.

You should create AGI as a side project. You get good job after that.

[sleakseal]

I understand your point man and I agree but the reality is that most people who say these questions are broke and NEED a job so the mindset is probably get a job first secure my life then expand and maybe become a better engineer etc

But the problem is: "resume-driven development" is what recruiters want. Show me your x years of experience with x. Even if you know React, they will reject you because they specifically want Vue.js. They don't care if you're can adapt to it in a matter of weeks. They look at two papers: what the company wants, and your resume, if the words are the same (e.g. want React, have React), you're good to go.

Dude, real talk, they’re just asking for an initial step guidance. When you’re in unfamiliar territory, it’s hard to find north even with a map.

I enjoyed meeting you at big sky dev con. You’re story is so inspirational. My buddy Bogdan really resonated with your message and his face in the selfie he took with you is gonna live on in my mind forever.

Instructions unclear now building an RDBMS from scratch…

I think starting a career in software engineering is quite a major accomplishment to begin with. I agree to shoot for the moon, but you also can't put the cart before the horse.

I ain’t gonna lie, I became better as a dev when I started following and taking his tutorials. Thanks Theprimeagen

[Ayrim_]

I appreciate the advice but I can’t eat something bigger. I feel like people who already have a job can shoot for something bigger. People, who are asking what skill I should develop to find a job, just need money to survive.

I've never heard a child say they want to be the most average help desk technician. They always want to be the best. Even if they want to be a garbage man, they want to be the best, coolest garbage man

Between success and failure the latter is the better teacher. So choose an ambitious, challenging project that gets you out of your comfort zone and you might fail to complete. Even if you "fail" to reach your ultimate goal you've likely succeeded in others.

I find most devs who are influencers give terrible advice

[adityagudadhe]

Hey you may not care but you just gave me a lot of relief and a lot motivation. Gonna go and break and fix some software without worrying about job for some time.
Thank You!

I've been working on increasing the size and diversity of my "toolbox", learning language agnostic best practice as close to the source material for the relevant practice as possible.

The trick after this step is being pragmatic with applying them :)

[Imperial_Squid]

I work as a data scientist so most of my code is python and R, that said my current side project is writing a plugin in TS for Zotero to implement a feature I wanted back when I used it but won't any more, I do it because it's personally fulfilling to see it get done, and because I have zero experience in web dev related stuff so it's a great opportunity to learn

[tomdele]

Just don't do a "side project". Go outside, do stuffs you love, whatever it is, and live for something else than your job. Find what you love in life then code for it.
Believe me, if you don't do that, sooner than later, you will be bored or disappointed with your work.

[hungryvito]

damn man. That's why I'm subscribed. Great advice, thank you

[chineduachimalo]

But that's the problem HR needs those projects to hire, don't care how good you are
