People Dumber Than You Are Getting RICH with Coding

People dumber than you are getting filthy rich with coding - seriously.

One of the biggest lies we tell ourselves is that coding is only for smart people - and especially that coding and making a ton of money with it is only for smart people.

But that is absolutely false - and this is not just a coding thing either, some of the richest people I know are not all that smart.

As a passionate computer science student, I agree with him... If you want to be good at programming then start building personal projects that interests you and learn required technologies to make it work and publish your work so that people can get to know about your work

Trust me guys, he's telling the truth! He inspired me a year ago to learn coding. Today, I'm working on an amazing front end portfolio. ❤

Dude, this is kind of chilling, and made me do a triple take. 3 videos down from my TODO list is this EXACT video idea, and almost identical title. So funny. Thanks for sharing, and this is a topic that I share with my mentees all the time.

So I started learning programming 2 and a half years ago. I got lucky and got a job in IT, but I am not a programmer. Now I know a lot of stuff but I don't have a project finished because I know I cannot finish it at the standards I have. So you, in this video, just narrate my programming journey :D

Its so relateable.
I have made so many projects with react js. But still think am not good enough to apply for jobs. That perfection thing is so annoying, its so much difficult to pull myself out of it. Also that perfect code from the beginning damn its so me.

Thanks for pointing these out. ❤

I just started my first python class at university. I'm having such a hard time based on the book they provided us with for the class that I ordered a physical book. The zybooks are trash. It comes in tomorrow. I know that the reason why I went to college to become a software engineer was not to learn, but so it looked better on the application to attach I am an undergrad student. I'll be done in 2025 and I started in 2023.

Generally sound advice, but simple doesn't mean dumb. It takes years of experience to know where it is worth to introduce more flexibility and abstractions.
The key is to learn how to tailor the design and implementation to the priorities of the organization, and apply complex abstractions only where there is an obvious benefit.

Dont start this again. Didn't these types of influcers cause all the massive layoffs by overhyping the job during the pandemic?

[ryanbarker]

Took 15 years to learn this. Very wise advice.

[annamarialocurtodesign]

Started studying html, css, js and then php for WordPress 😊

[oyewoleniyi]

Why don’t u allow us pay 3 times for the course. If you really want to help us. Do a 3 time payment plan Atleast that will be affordable

[TolgaKeklik-ld]

Hey Tuomas, can we say if completed your python dev course we are full stack dev?

[nelsonbeneche]

I love the job of data analysis, what advice can you give me? on which site can I learn this normally?

[abdallaelgali]

I agree with most what you said, however I have to disagree with your definition of 'smart' and 'dumb', cuz u literally explained what a dumb person would do and said thats the smart persons way and then what a smart person would do as the dumb person lmao, a smart person isnt always a nerd, infact its the person who knows when to stick to the rules, think theoretically and when to focus on the practical skills. Nerds arent smart, theyre just theory junkies, those who dont study or are 'lazy' as u explained tend to be actually smarter. “I choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.” ~Bill Gates.

[zennaeshetie]

i just start learning java on you tube, i will see how much far i can go ....?.

[computer-training-for-seniors]

You don't learn programming by doing a computer science degree - agreed.

[nelsonbeneche]

thank you for this video. In all programming languages ​​I have a preference for the Python language. Meanwhile I'm working on a project that can play streaming radio, in which you can only search for radio stations by name or by country.
it's a desktop application. on which site I can earn money with this app

[russianbroski]

what do you think about coding disapearing because of ai?

[cbbcbb]

Well, great mentoring won't hurt.

[ahmedzayed]

I think the Dumber programmers Who Devin AI will replacce because they do the same job
