4 years ago you helped me a lot with PyGame through your tutorials and now I'm going into my software engineering summer internship

[lemastertech]

Man 22 Years Old with all you've accomplished and working/coding since you were 12-14!?! I'd say you are in that class of being an anomaly too Tim! Thanks for all the info, love your channel!

[clem]

You've been one of the most competent people I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Here's to more collaborations and endeavors together in the future! 🥂

Dude, I remember you had no beard yet when I started watching your videos. Now its 2023 and you still rocking. It is very nice to see you gone so far starting so young. Thank you, Tim. You are something else!

I binge watched your JavaScript tutorial during the pandemic while trying to fall asleep just for the fun of it (the time you feel disappointed that you didn't do anything productive the whole day). It kind of motivated me a lot and fast forward to present day, I am a freelance full stack developer which enables me to earn more than medium range wage while still being a student in my country and gather a whole lot of experience by travelling and networking.

Im currently in college studying IT and your tutorials help me a lot with learning stuff as extra outside of my study. Thanks a lot!

[liveitout]

I'm a mechanical engineer, about a year ago i started learning Python out of curiosity. You are one on YouTube who has a variety of tutorial videos. I learned a lot from your videos. Thank you Tim.

[yellaomo]

Your journey is so refreshing to hear. Especially as someone who is currently taking time out of their cs degree to upskill and become better and programming at my own pace and learning industry relevant skills and projects. Thanks Tim :) You should be very proud of yourself ! I always wonder what life is like for you outside of software engineering. I'm 20 so hearing you were only 22 surprised me

[carlkarl]

u just 22, man u just blown my mind off, i'm just turning 18 at august, i have made sites(not wix kind) and applications, but at this age u did all that stuff, its mind blowing big bro, btw thanks for all your tips and advice it really does help

[imma]

I'm glad ypu made this video. I've been learning tp program for about 8 months now. I keep hearing all these "I start3d learning a programming language and 7 months later I got a job". I'm glad to hear not everybody just takes a boot camp and 3 months later lands an internship, which is what I was lead to believe would happen

[sargata]

Your story is inspiring. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and insight with us. Wishing you lots of success in all your future endeavors!

[gustavobertocco]

Hey man, you helped me a lot in my first internship with some selenium tutorials 2 year ago, so thanks!. Today I work as a Data Engineer so the hard work paid off. Wish nothing but the best for you Tim, cheers :)

[ahmadhammad]

I followed you had less than 100k subs, I even wondered why doesn’t he have 1m subs, but you were real motivation for me.
I was speed-running your project’s videos and really had a lot of fun.

now i’m 21 working as a data scientist in a healthcare startup.

[Thomas-poex]

Wow, you have done all of this by 22, amazing job. I'm behind on the grind. Got my first job in software development at 23. Every software-based job I applied to in college I was rejected for. Even after graduating with a bachelors in computer science at 22, it still took me around 6 months to land my first software engineering job and all my personal coding projects I learned with help from channels including Tech With Tim was really what got me that position, not just having the degree. Just going to keep grinding and learning as much as I can to excel in my career. I first started coding at 17 during my high school's optional Intro to Python course which really piqued my interest in the computer science industry. Can't imagine myself being so productive as you in my early/mid teens. Never even worked a job till I got into college.

[dre]

Wow You’re my age basically! I had no clue! Your videos are amazing and very well done. I constantly recommend my friends to check out your content! Your Django tutorials helped my complete my capstone project and if you see this I just want to thank you for your hard work!

[defidelity]

This is prolly the most realistic insight i've ever watched. It makes me feel more confident fr.

[mexp]

I've been part of your community since I started college. Thank you for all your bits of advice!!

[txdba]

Great personal journey video displaying initiative, motivation, opportunities, personal responsibility, and work ethic, And thank you for all the great informative videos you produce. From a 62 year old programmer/DBA.

[tz]

Moral of the story, teaching made Tim even a better programmer.

15 years old making $15 an hour was a great wage. The mean min wage in Canada (2014) is $10.40/hr so Id say your dad deff hooked you up! That's awesome though. Before doing full stack I was a heavy equipment operator (starting at 15 making $15/hr in Canada) also thanks to my dad until I was 27. Having connections makes a lot of difference, especially starting out. You've come far. Great work.
