Number 3 is the fact that you used to be software engineer?

[rapidlapse]

Still waiting for Number 3. Have watched this 23 times already. Hopefully it’ll come up soon.

Don’t ever compare yourself to other people. Everyone will succeed at different times in their life . Just be in competition with yourself. Just be a better you .

Let me ease your mind about number 2. Writing code isn’t going to make you a billionaire company builder. You’ll need to learn to talk to customers, understand their problems, how to price, and then get people to pay for what you made. Then you need to build distribution channels, a team, credibility. It’s a ton of work and you’re still not guaranteed to succeed. It’s very competitive and stressful. If you think staying up to date with frameworks is too stressful try learning all these skills and becoming real good at them while getting no pay.

For every 20 year old billionaire software founder there are 100s and maybe 1000s who have failed. You don’t hear about those because failing is the norm in startups.

Are you willing to let go of your $200, 000 a year comfortable salary so you can spend 5-10 years of your life without pay to build a product that might not make you any money?

You make a choice to not take that risk and be comfortable by taking a high salary job. Nothing wrong with that.

You’re thinking too hard homie. Just work to live. Remember they can replace you with a sneeze so make sure you take the skills you learned and apply it to the next. Don’t overthink it. Use them don’t be used. Work to live.

My man is software engineer at Google and still consider him self unsuccessful if that so than I'm straight loser 💀

Number three "My salary is only 300, 000 tc. I kinda feel bad about myself because there's this principal engineer who makes 2 million."

BROOOO STAY POSITIVE!!! You are really good at it…. The reason why you didn’t start your startup doesn’t mean that you are not good enough. Just stay positive and you will achieve it. And also BE HAPPY and enjoy coding that is the main key “to enjoy “😊😊😊

I got rid of number 2 before even getting into software engineering.

someone else’s success and skills have nothing to do with your path. plus you don’t know their struggle. they might not necessarily be happy either

[lapuklapuk]

Never ever compare yourself :) enjoy your journey. Enjoy new learning consider it as your next PR.

I’m a senior software developer and I can relate to everything you said in this video, the pressure to keep up and most importantly trying to escape the 9-5 hours by building a business and always struggling with time and energy. You are not alone man!

[kays]

This is very humbling. Thank you for sharing.

[cupofjoen]

Same goes to visual designers. I got a lot of competitors and it makes me feel worthless for not being consistent to build my portfolio. It burns me out that I feel like I should go to pilot school instead.

Learns how to code..
Everyone in your family: so when you're gonna build the next Facebook?

[ranns]

You have to be happy with the success you have achieved, and stop stop stop comparing yourself to others. If you are not happy with your present situation, make yourself a list of how you can get to wear you want to be. Start on that list, one step at a time and pat yourself on the back every time you complete a step.

[RiderfBuffalo]

This is pretty accurate. I relate. It's a real pressure to know all the latest. Just have to take it in stride and be patient.

[sydguitar]

Legitimately the first point is so true because I know other engineering Fields where you really don't have to learn new things that often unless your company directly tells you but with software engineering you really have to always be researching new things

[jordanbutt]

You got it! Don’t give up ! Everyone has there time to shine

[nocapent]

I feel u bro I want to be very successful but it’s all in due time if u put in the work

[kaimenhibbert]

Essentially the worst part is your ego getting a little bruise
