Such a great point. At my company I don't understand the language and framework as well as some of the other employees, but I am really good at understanding business problems. This knowledge has allowed me to contribute more useful code quicker and solve real business problems, even if my code isn't perfect.

Keep up the good work!

Stefan I agree with you. Learning bunch of frameworks will get you nowhere. Think, solve problems, create some side projects... That's the way software development works.

The best part of the day is my 8:00 am morning coffee watching a new Stef's video

Stefan, I can't thank you enough for your valuable insights about the programming field. By the way the autumn color in your video looks really gorgeous, almost same as the state of Minnesota's where I studied for my undergraduate and graduate degrees. Lots of love and respect from Bangladesh.

As always, very powerful video... challenging yourself to understand the intricacies of business needs and how you can solve those needs with software is SO important for freelancers/entrepreneurs. This 'thing of ours' is about so much more than just learning frameworks and languages!

Always happy to see videos of old experience fox like you!

Great points. I appreciate you mentioning the strong points of languages. I think they're all really cool and useful this far. I really enjoy modern PHP too.

About the sandwich example...It is better to ask questions and see if you can solve a business problem your clients might having. This is why a freelancer can charge for strategy/consultation service prior to building the software. Like a discovery phase.To know what we are getting into first.

Wait a second...this video isn't about node.js!

This video gives me confidence for the software I'm making.

🎶Best part of waking up, is Stefan in your feed🎶

Have you worked with Shopify liquid? You should make a video on that

Thank you so much. This video broadened my horizon.

Hi Stefan! I’m always watching all your YouTube videos. I was wonder where should I go to in order to learn your full stack dev course? So I’m not sure if I should go to studioweb.com or killervideostore.com? Where should I go to and why? I would like to learn the basic fundamentals at 100% as you always mention in your videos and from there continue to become a full stack web developer. So what do you advice and what is the difference between both sites? Thanks in advance!

This is the stuff I want to hear! I heard that some software technologies are better at somethings than others. So I would agree that learning on a "need to nerd" basis is when its a good time to learn another thing in software. Though I also heard no matter the programming language anything can be done 🤔. Perhaps that's true but feels pretty impossible to me 😅.

Hey Stef, you always emphasize on learning the basics do you consider SQL a must-know even when starting out. Btw I appreciate every video you upload and I hope someday I could be as helpful as you are to me and to thousands aspiring developers.

Understanding the problem domain has always been the most important part of software development since the inception of the computer. I don't think that fact will even change. Sure it's important to be able to implement the right tools in the right way to do the job, but if you don't understand the domain what you create will be worthless.

Stefan Mishook, so you're saying discovering the business logic needs of real world businesses is more important? It's all about business logic?

There's a specific ad for nodejs that I really hated.

I just realized I have no domain knowledge about anything but procastinating in youtube.. Lol what have I done with my life
