"the last 700 is the hardest part" i totally agree with that. now i building some project for portofolio but sometimes i go back on that 100 hour or 200 hour part. just like a circle. if any one experiencing the same thing, its okeyy. its part of learning to. if you fell depressed and felt like "can i do this? am i in the right path?" just take rest for one day, don't touch any coding, focus on clearing your mind and after that try again tomorrow .trust me, you can do this. what you need is some refreshing.

Quality time is key too ...coding when you're at your best really helps

[jamieolsen]

Great video Kenny... Your videos always help give me that perspective I need and some extra motivation too.. Much appreciated!

[carsongutierrez]

Great to see you back Kenny with your programming tips.

Amazing video. This is the information that absolutely I was looking for!

Awesome. I finally found a real software developer and not like the other thousands who says you can easily learn code in 1 month bla. Like you mentioned if you have max time for that and could put the time and effort in without any distractions, I think it is possible.
But anybody who has family and/or Full Time job don't have much time. But 1-3 hours a day I think is possible.

Thank you so much. Really appreciate your content! :)

I got great job thx to motivators like you Kenny. But I have lots of experience now I use slow and thinking and above all use ideas around you max. On the project I work Industry job taken over yeah how to improve. Yes c# not too much exp but ChatGPT helps alot so I found overriding partially simulation to do all PLC Sharp/ at same time simulation since other side not awake with just one line change is interesting sometimes quality and awareness can be good knowledge! Listen is good!

I love udemy! I just started last week learning python and am having so much fun with it. Take your time everyone, and here's to the future programmers like me!

I don't know how many hours I've been learning. But I can say its now over 1 year and 5 months. Learned the fundamentals with Python, learned the basics of SQL. Spent 1 year with HTML, CSS and JavaScript and did 2 months of React. Now since January focused on Django and I have to relearn SQL all over again but this time for SQLite3. Too much to learn!

I took a break playing OSRS for almost 1 year to learn how to code and after that landed a job as agile software engineer. Now I am back at OSRS lol

[pullrequest]

Thank you bro ❤. Can you give me the fundamental of js? ❤

I just find interesting all the paths of dev and I have a lot of ideas to create a project, but I personally don't know what path should I choose, I'm not sure if I go to one path will be a terrible stress or it will be a paradise, this is that I can't figure out 😢

i hope some 1 can answer this
i was about to start a university degree of computer science and i signed up like 3 months before starting
i got the books look at them i had a introduction to java course and math and some other stuff
i decided id try pick up java on my own to get a headstart on school
downloaded eclipse started watching youtube made a fully dedicated discord server with code/explanation and got consumed into 8-12 hours a day of studying/practicing
at first i did 2-3 hours
i didnt start the uni in the end and dropped out got my money and realized i can do this on my own cause i hate school frames and i am much better on my own

my only issue is the lack of understanding grounds i don't know whats my lvl
in a week and abit of studying
i know
Methods how to create how to use different classes different constructors(doubles int strings[methods also]) the whole varuable business, printf, if's switchs loops and orieanted loops
wrapper classes nested loops logic operators
i know arrays arraylists 2d all of that and some more things by know i mean i practiced it alot i really know understand and can recite this by heart

What does all of this mean about me? what is my lvl because my java introduction book ended far before i even reached using different Classes, GUI's, and methods
i am not sure what are my paths ahead
i will keep going in my java course but i just can never understand whats the end goal how far in creating projects is it that "You are good"
when do i pick up a second language perhaps a complimentary one for full stacking like python or html? or even grab a low lvl language like C?
i am in the dark here

I'm able to manage 2 hours a day through the week and 4 on weekends so like 18 hours a week. trying to learn C # so I can work a program with Microsoft. Having a really hard time getting the fundamentals to make sense but have only invested like 20 hours total. I'll keep pushing

Dude I’m still playing RuneScape on and off haha you know you’ll return again soon 😂 wondering if that is what sparks our interest for Java

[Coder]

Good video but this is honestly just very briefly done people like me who want to be game dev, would like to know things like how to break that wall or climb it to write the code on your own and don’t copy them just

[sohailrahman]

seems like im bit late to learn in the days of AI driven culture, I just realize coding is as like game of dunngeons or strategy AAA games like where you stuck, analyze, build & jump to a different level, pls help i think like i'm going crazy these days 😅

I know the video is a bit old, but I think to say that Malcolm Glad well didn't make up the 10000 hour rule, and, he didn't even really represent it that badly. The important thing is not to leave out the deliberate practice part of it.
