Solid advice. That last part about proper sleep, breaks and exercise is probably the most fundamental part. Without that the level of focus, and the ability to deal with repetition and failure goes down. And there will be failure, plenty of it. Learning to code is a perpetual cycle of finding bugs and fixing them. Many of those bugs will drive you crazy!! I would also add in maintaining a healthy diet as well. If I don't get the right food, I can't solve problems worth a damn.

Oh no, I really don't like Facebook - it's super distracting! The second I open it up for a specific purpose - maybe to look up an event, or look for coding advice - I get sidetracked by notifications and stories jumping into my face and I forget what I came for. The noise level on FB is just terrible! Do you have any other channels for getting together?

Its stupid advice indeed cause if u have 10 years of experience and hustle eith an allnighter and burn yourself out, youre not gonna quit and give up cause u have momentum and your dopamine receptors are already aligned well with coding. But if you are a beginner and push yourself too hard, you will give up completely. Better to make it bearable at least

A simple advice from a fellow coder, don't try to learn a programming language aimlessly. Sit down , figure out what you want to build ( after you have understood the basics) and then learn how to build it and that's how you learn coding.

Thank you for your advice! What do you consider basics in JavaScript? I’ve been studying for almost 2 months a course from Udemy by Jonas. It’s been going awesome, and I understand functions, loops, arrays, objects, sets and stuff, but I always feel like I don’t know enough to explore the possible of a language. I can’t think of an idea to build myself, because I don’t know what it takes :D if that makes sense. Again thank you

Yes, learning the basics is like learning to make a raw sketch, you practice the structure, learn the big picture, how the language is structured, how to make a back bone, once you know that you can aim at an specific goal, although its good practice to analyze some pro code, that teaches you some tricks.

I have been programming for 35 years. I am an EXPERT at learning. I completely agree everything Andy said in this video. Two concepts in the video are key for career-long skill growth, (1) keep a list of the concepts/skills you want to develop, and (2) use your study time to focus on your weakest skills. I'll add (3), whenever you start a project with a new team intentionally look for the "thing" that is the team's biggest problem. This "problem" could be a legacy system that we have to integrate, or an unfamiliar new tech, or a troublesome relationship with a key stakeholder, etc., etc. etc... Then, become the "subject matter expert" on that problem. Taking the initiative to become the go-to-person on what was a big headache issue will advance your career.

@ProgrammingwithShahan
@ProgrammingwithShahan Рік тому
As a piece of advice for beginner developers: Don’t code without taking breaks. It is pretty overwhelming and causes dangerous health issues. Also it increase mental fatigue overtime. At least I have experienced with it. Therefore, I take 30m break after each 90m of coding.

I also recommend embracing the struggle when you're trying to figure something out that you've 'learned'. Spend 5-10 minutes really trying to recall how to solve something you've seen or feel you should know before going to look it up. This will strengthen your memory and improves your learning.

The last thing i've learned, is, that i can rename the functions of an inherited class with a metaclass which wraps functions around them and i can delete unwanted methods from the dict. Well, that's at least one solution i came up with.. but the problem from which i derived those questions was ill-defined in the first place. I simply shouldnt use polymorphism when i don't wanna use everything what a parent class has to offer. And i guess it would be bad practice to rename stuff just for personal preference.

"Take a Break" - Ok, story time...I was racking my brain on a Calculus homework problem and I JUST COULD NOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO IT...I finally got so frustrated that I went over to the couch and just plopped down on it. The moment my rear hit the cushion, the solution popped into my head. It wasn't until I stopped thinking that the answer came to me. It was quite a cool experience

I seem to learn best in 45 minute bursts. Then I can practice in longer burst and as long as I'm practicing the same thing (no matter what it is) I retain. So to repeat, I learn "new" things in up to 45 minute bursts and reinforce things in longer bursts. Great video. Everything you mentioned I have experienced as truth. At least for me. Thanks!

The mind can’t record too much differents sorts of hard concepts and paradigms when we study. And also because we should use each new knowledges just right after learning them to get theses knowledges.

Even more than that. You also need a burning desire for it. At 12 I forced my parents to buy my a computer so I can learn to code. And it was not fashionable then. The only reason I went to the mall was to hang in the bookstore and read books. I did not care about friends or socializing. Not saying this is good, but software has to be a burning force in your soul. You have to be extremely passionate about it.

This video was amazing! You quite rightly support the debunked theory of the 10K hours to mastery and introduced so many concepts that it took me years to find out on my own. I can attest that the style of deliberate practice works. At some point I was working with a more senior colleague with a CS degree who was determined I wasn't to succeed and prove that he was some sort of a member of a master race I didn't belong to. I had no real coding skills then but did much of what you described and slowly built myself up by tackling my weakness one by one. I still have a loooong way to go but I managed to prove that colleague wrong so big point scored. Subbed!!!

These are great elementary principles for studying and improving. I mean elementary elementary both literally and figuratively. I have kids in elementary school; their curriculum suffered tremendously during the last couple years due to remote learning and excessive closures. We have been employing some of these techniques to make sure that my kid doesn't fall behind in their expected knowledge and understanding in math and reading skills, such as identifying weaknesses, and practicing the hard skills that are out of their comfort zone, and targeted practice, at home in addition to what they do at school. My point is that these are basic study principles that can easily be leveraged to improve any skill. Great insight!

I have a masters degree in educational psychology. I think everything that you've said in this video is pretty spot on. One of my personal pet peeves is when people say practice makes perfect. It does not. Perfect practice makes perfect. You can spend 10000 hours practicing something the wrong way and at the end of the day all you've done is gotten really good at doing it wrong. If you want to get better, as you say, you must practice what it is you want to achieve. Great advice, thanks for the video.

See, I started learning with python. After Learning the syntax I went off to UKposts to watch people apply python to certain tasks and problems. From there I began building my own. From there other languages were cake to learn because I had a fundamental understanding of how programs work.
