1
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:04,200
Hey there.

2
00:00:04,570 --> 00:00:06,750
That's my face Andre.

3
00:00:06,790 --> 00:00:11,500
I'm not usually sitting in front of a computer not in front of a camera which I'm not comfortable with

4
00:00:12,310 --> 00:00:21,850
but this is the AM A video and I want to just absolutely thank all of you because we have officially

5
00:00:21,850 --> 00:00:25,950
had 100000 unique students which is insane.

6
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:27,640
Absolutely mind blowing.

7
00:00:27,670 --> 00:00:32,680
I did an M a video when we hit a thousand students and I thought that was just extraordinary.

8
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:37,300
And to be at one hundred thousand now is absolutely incredible.

9
00:00:37,300 --> 00:00:39,360
I feel extremely lucky.

10
00:00:39,370 --> 00:00:47,110
I feel extremely blessed and not to get too sappy here but I'm very very thankful for you watching this

11
00:00:47,110 --> 00:00:52,930
video right now because I don't really do any marketing and it's it's all grown out of word of mouth.

12
00:00:52,930 --> 00:00:57,940
So thank you for telling your friends your family your kids whatever it is.

13
00:00:57,970 --> 00:01:03,290
I am extremely thankful that I get to do what I do and it's all because of you.

14
00:01:03,310 --> 00:01:03,750
All right.

15
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,019
So no more happiness.

16
00:01:05,019 --> 00:01:05,980
Let's get to it.

17
00:01:05,980 --> 00:01:10,280
I asked you on discord some questions that you might have for me.

18
00:01:10,300 --> 00:01:13,870
There were a lot of questions unfortunately I won't be able to answer all of them.

19
00:01:13,870 --> 00:01:19,480
I don't want to make this into a boring one hour video so I've picked the ones that I thought had a

20
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:24,130
lot of people interested in them and hopefully I can give you some some answers.

21
00:01:24,130 --> 00:01:30,000
Keep in mind that you should form your own opinions and decisions based on these.

22
00:01:30,010 --> 00:01:32,680
This is just one person's view my view.

23
00:01:32,700 --> 00:01:38,500
It doesn't mean that I'm 100 percent correct if I thought that then I would have a youtube channel but

24
00:01:39,310 --> 00:01:40,480
take it with a grain of salt.

25
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,410
These are just my opinions.

26
00:01:42,550 --> 00:01:43,170
I may be wrong.

27
00:01:43,170 --> 00:01:43,780
I may be right.

28
00:01:43,780 --> 00:01:50,170
It's just what has worked in my life doesn't necessarily mean that it will work for you or the answers

29
00:01:50,170 --> 00:01:52,240
are right for you.

30
00:01:52,270 --> 00:01:52,660
All right.

31
00:01:52,990 --> 00:01:56,120
Let's see first one here.

32
00:01:56,830 --> 00:02:03,400
We have Nick Salar who asks What's the best way to get into machine learning and artificial intelligence.

33
00:02:03,460 --> 00:02:07,900
That's actually a question that kept coming up a lot of people are interested in machine learning data

34
00:02:07,900 --> 00:02:09,460
science.

35
00:02:09,610 --> 00:02:10,880
Anything related to a.

36
00:02:10,900 --> 00:02:14,470
Because it is extremely popular and a hot topic right now.

37
00:02:15,250 --> 00:02:21,220
I actually have a course coming up on it that tries to tackle that question because machine learning

38
00:02:21,220 --> 00:02:27,880
right now it's a bit of a buzzword where it solves all your business problems when in fact maybe it's

39
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,100
not necessarily so.

40
00:02:29,140 --> 00:02:34,360
And I think there's developer interest to learn about machine learning as well as business analysts

41
00:02:34,390 --> 00:02:42,460
and business decision makers to use machine learning and data to improve their profits and their business.

42
00:02:42,460 --> 00:02:47,440
So I don't really give you an answer for that one but it's one of those topics that I think in order

43
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:54,190
to learn about it you should at least learn to code be become a web developer force or perhaps have

44
00:02:54,190 --> 00:02:57,270
some understanding of business data.

45
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,320
Data analysis before you get into it.

46
00:03:00,330 --> 00:03:00,880
All right.

47
00:03:00,940 --> 00:03:03,580
Next Next question is from Inc.

48
00:03:03,580 --> 00:03:08,530
Talk about your life as a developer from start until now to learn from you.

49
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:14,850
Well I think some of you know from my previous M.A. May I did not come from a computer science background.

50
00:03:14,920 --> 00:03:16,810
I came from a business background.

51
00:03:16,810 --> 00:03:22,430
I did also a minor in psychology and learned to code in my 20s.

52
00:03:22,470 --> 00:03:24,280
I'm 33 now by the way.

53
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,920
Hopefully I don't look 33 but that's that's my age.

54
00:03:29,060 --> 00:03:33,160
And yeah I would break down the developer lifecycle into three phases.

55
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:39,130
So the first one is where you're just learning you're learning to code everything is completely new

56
00:03:39,140 --> 00:03:45,760
you feel extremely overwhelmed overwhelmed you don't know what to learn what person to trust what mentor

57
00:03:45,790 --> 00:03:48,520
to have what course to take.

58
00:03:48,580 --> 00:03:49,890
That's a really big challenge.

59
00:03:49,900 --> 00:03:56,050
And getting to the point of understanding and being able to build something from scratch yourself I

60
00:03:56,050 --> 00:03:57,280
think that's the first phase.

61
00:03:57,310 --> 00:04:03,580
The second phase was when when I was employed for the first time and though the first couple of years

62
00:04:03,580 --> 00:04:10,840
working as a developer where you feel the imposter syndrome right where you feel like you just don't

63
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:16,660
know enough or somehow they hired you by mistake and while everybody else around you is smarter than

64
00:04:16,660 --> 00:04:17,160
you.

65
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:25,030
That phase really goes by the one advice that I have for that phase is to honestly be comfortable with

66
00:04:25,030 --> 00:04:28,350
being uncomfortable that is ask as many questions as you want.

67
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,550
Don't feel like you're raising your hand and asking questions.

68
00:04:31,660 --> 00:04:37,380
It's going to make you feel it's going to make others look at you like you're dumb or not good enough.

69
00:04:37,390 --> 00:04:42,430
The more questions you ask the better you'll have the answers and you'll find that the successful people

70
00:04:42,430 --> 00:04:47,950
through this phase are the people who ask a ton of questions when they don't understand something they

71
00:04:47,950 --> 00:04:52,820
tried to learn and try to grab as much experience as possible from those around you.

72
00:04:53,210 --> 00:04:59,110
And then the third phase is when you start to become a little bit of a senior developer when you start

73
00:04:59,110 --> 00:05:05,180
to get confident in your abilities you perhaps start to lead projects perhaps other junior developers

74
00:05:05,180 --> 00:05:06,910
look up to you and ask you questions.

75
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:15,050
One of the biggest things with that face of a developer is to not almost get a God complex where you

76
00:05:15,050 --> 00:05:19,940
feel like your opinions are the right ones and everybody else is is absolutely wrong.

77
00:05:19,940 --> 00:05:25,580
I've seen way too many really good developers get overconfident in themselves and have really strong

78
00:05:25,580 --> 00:05:31,070
opinions where they don't take anything else into consideration.

79
00:05:31,070 --> 00:05:37,580
I think through that phase if you're able to understand everything it has pros and cons everything depends

80
00:05:37,580 --> 00:05:41,020
on the situation in that you're not allowing only use graph.

81
00:05:41,030 --> 00:05:48,230
Q Oh I only use TypeScript and dynamic languages are trash but when you avoid those strong opinions

82
00:05:49,580 --> 00:05:55,000
to almost make yourself feel like you're smart you're doing something wrong there.

83
00:05:55,010 --> 00:06:00,670
You want to be open to ideas open to suggestions and not forget to keep drawing from that face because

84
00:06:00,950 --> 00:06:04,310
as you start to get more and more recognition maybe feel more confident.

85
00:06:04,310 --> 00:06:09,680
It's very easy to think that you've reached the pinnacle and you need to stop learning.

86
00:06:09,710 --> 00:06:16,580
This whole industry is all about learning and constantly evolving and what you know two years from now

87
00:06:16,610 --> 00:06:18,410
will probably different than what you know now.

88
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,910
So those are the three phases kind of the ones that I went through.

89
00:06:21,950 --> 00:06:25,100
Obviously I'm teaching now but for me learning doesn't stop.

90
00:06:25,100 --> 00:06:26,640
I'm constantly learning.

91
00:06:27,260 --> 00:06:33,830
I'm constantly trying to improve myself both in teaching but also as a developer and I hope that that

92
00:06:33,830 --> 00:06:37,520
is the case with you as well.

93
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,900
All right next question next question is from G.

94
00:06:41,030 --> 00:06:43,220
How many countries have you visited during the last year.

95
00:06:43,220 --> 00:06:46,580
Any suggestions to travel while working remote.

96
00:06:46,580 --> 00:06:50,900
So for some of you that don't know I I was completely remote.

97
00:06:50,900 --> 00:06:56,680
I carry my recorder recording equipment online and I set up my studio wherever I am in the world.

98
00:06:56,690 --> 00:07:04,820
So my courses have been recorded and in Ecuador in Nicaragua Colombia in Greece and Romania.

99
00:07:04,850 --> 00:07:11,360
Pretty much anywhere that I'm traveling I bring my recording equipment set up my little studio and and

100
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:12,650
record.

101
00:07:12,650 --> 00:07:18,320
So last year I traveled to I would say about seven or eight countries where I lived and then in them

102
00:07:18,710 --> 00:07:27,740
long term My favorite was I actually recorded the master the coding interview course in a little house

103
00:07:27,770 --> 00:07:33,950
on the side of a volcano in Ecuador where the last house at the very top of the volcano.

104
00:07:33,950 --> 00:07:41,120
So we had to hike down and grab groceries every time we needed to eat or wanted to cook dinner and hike

105
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:42,920
back up with all our groceries.

106
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,480
That was a lot of fun.

107
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:45,510
Any advice for Ramona.

108
00:07:45,860 --> 00:07:51,710
Honestly it's it's one of those life that it sounds nice but it also requires a lot of dedication and

109
00:07:52,250 --> 00:07:59,150
and commitment to to work instead of just not being committed to a schedule and making it really easy

110
00:07:59,150 --> 00:08:02,900
to go off and pretend like you're busy without actually accomplishing anything.

111
00:08:02,930 --> 00:08:05,900
So you do need to have a bit of structure.

112
00:08:05,930 --> 00:08:13,700
But for those that are self-motivated and determined enough and can keep track of tasks and don't get

113
00:08:13,700 --> 00:08:17,190
distracted often it's it's definitely a lot of fun.

114
00:08:17,460 --> 00:08:26,120
All right this next question I think I got asked maybe five times from people like DA John shoe PA scramble

115
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:31,200
lock all of them essentially said Why did you quit your full time job.

116
00:08:31,370 --> 00:08:33,809
How come you're not a developer anymore.

117
00:08:33,830 --> 00:08:39,049
Well let's say that I'm still a developer I do a bit of consulting work on the side.

118
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:44,840
The reason that I quit my developer job was mainly because I wanted to I wanted to travel a little bit

119
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:45,930
and to take a break.

120
00:08:45,980 --> 00:08:52,100
I had spent a couple of years working for other people and working on projects that perhaps I didn't

121
00:08:52,100 --> 00:08:53,400
care too much about.

122
00:08:53,420 --> 00:08:57,220
I was working for other people's passion projects or businesses.

123
00:08:57,380 --> 00:09:03,530
And after a while that that kind of gets old or at least it did for me where I found that I stopped

124
00:09:03,530 --> 00:09:07,780
learning as much I was just repeating and doing the same thing over and over.

125
00:09:07,940 --> 00:09:12,320
So I decided to quit and kind of figure out what what I want to do next.

126
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,040
And along the way I decided to record some videos.

127
00:09:15,050 --> 00:09:23,780
My first course to mastery to just keep myself busy and keep doing something and cut and help people

128
00:09:23,780 --> 00:09:30,890
who were like me where they didn't have a CSI background and wanted to get into web development but

129
00:09:30,950 --> 00:09:33,460
there wasn't a clear path for them to do so.

130
00:09:33,500 --> 00:09:42,020
So I recorded that course and it took off and all of a sudden this became my full time job and now I

131
00:09:42,020 --> 00:09:47,900
would 100 percent still go back to being a full time developer but I'm having so much fun teaching.

132
00:09:47,900 --> 00:09:54,830
I still get to code every day I still get to learn every day and if anything I think this way I have

133
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:59,090
a bigger impact on on people's lives.

134
00:09:59,180 --> 00:10:01,820
Than I did it when I worked on a single project.

135
00:10:02,010 --> 00:10:07,410
So that's why I quit my job and in the end of the day it was one of the best decisions I ever made.

136
00:10:07,730 --> 00:10:11,070
I have another question here which is what is my biggest regret.

137
00:10:11,070 --> 00:10:15,400
I feel like I'm in an interview right now so I'll give you my interview answer.

138
00:10:15,540 --> 00:10:18,170
In case you ever get asked this in an interview.

139
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:19,610
So my biggest regret.

140
00:10:20,730 --> 00:10:26,640
Honestly it's there's nothing I I'm really really happy that I learned coding when I did in my 20s and

141
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:31,650
not when I was young because when I was young I was able to learn different skills I was able to learn

142
00:10:31,650 --> 00:10:39,120
about business about pop about psychology about communicating with others and people and those skills

143
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:45,420
helped me get my first job as a developer although maybe I started to code when I was a lot later on

144
00:10:45,420 --> 00:10:46,550
in life.

145
00:10:46,620 --> 00:10:48,790
It's not like I didn't do anything before my 20s.

146
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:54,300
I was learning different skills and for those people that perhaps are thinking Am I too old to learn

147
00:10:54,300 --> 00:10:59,250
to code or I'm in my thirties and there's people you know in their teens that are learning to code right

148
00:10:59,250 --> 00:11:02,440
now there's no way that I'm going to be able to keep up.

149
00:11:02,490 --> 00:11:06,360
Keep in mind that most likely have skill sets that other people don't.

150
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:12,180
And when it comes to regret honestly there's nothing as long as you're learning every single day and

151
00:11:12,180 --> 00:11:16,650
learning something useful over the years that's going to compound.

152
00:11:16,650 --> 00:11:22,830
And honestly every single mistake every single decision that you make leads you to to where you are

153
00:11:22,830 --> 00:11:27,510
now which a little it sounds a little hokey pokey but but it is true.

154
00:11:27,750 --> 00:11:34,820
Honestly the there are no regrets if you're learning your you're never gonna have regrets in life.

155
00:11:34,820 --> 00:11:35,230
All right.

156
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:35,920
Yes.

157
00:11:35,970 --> 00:11:42,120
Has gone yes asked me what annoyed you the most about being a developer.

158
00:11:42,630 --> 00:11:50,100
I usually don't get annoyed I'm pretty easygoing but the one thing that I did notice was that trust

159
00:11:50,100 --> 00:11:55,920
people get more and more experienced they tend to form really strong opinions and everybody wants to

160
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,770
feel like they're part of a group.

161
00:11:57,870 --> 00:12:03,750
And I think we see that a lot on Twitter and YouTube and all these people really strong opinions that

162
00:12:03,990 --> 00:12:08,020
kind of gang up on other people that have different beliefs than them.

163
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:13,170
I think it's very easy in the developer community to have something like that where you're thinking

164
00:12:13,710 --> 00:12:20,190
my react team is better than your angular team or TypeScript and static typing is the way to go or rest

165
00:12:20,190 --> 00:12:21,850
is dead and let's all use graph.

166
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:28,890
Q Well I think when you have that type of mentality it's it's really really hard to actually have smart

167
00:12:28,890 --> 00:12:36,180
discussions and and and decisions within a project it becomes really really easy for those who feel

168
00:12:36,780 --> 00:12:43,800
superior to others and feel confident in their opinions to really impose their opinions on others especially

169
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:49,430
junior developers that you know are susceptible and have less experience.

170
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:55,470
So they start to believe these senior developers that perhaps have really strong opinions and in turn

171
00:12:55,470 --> 00:13:01,230
that kind of creates this wave of more and more people that think it's a good idea to have strong opinions

172
00:13:01,230 --> 00:13:07,350
and debate with others and argue with others and and telling people that their code sucks and their

173
00:13:07,350 --> 00:13:10,280
code is the right way of doing it.

174
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:19,410
I think that was a little bit annoying to deal with because because I think it influences junior developers

175
00:13:19,590 --> 00:13:24,510
a lot and I don't think it's a good attitude to have when working with others.

176
00:13:24,630 --> 00:13:31,350
I think being a being somebody senior being a lead being a project lead it means you're a person that

177
00:13:31,350 --> 00:13:34,990
doesn't put other people down but it lifts others.

178
00:13:35,020 --> 00:13:40,200
And that was a little bit annoying because I thought that I saw that that was a little bit prevalent

179
00:13:40,350 --> 00:13:46,560
where everybody's trying to almost beat each other and be a better developer than deal with this person

180
00:13:46,560 --> 00:13:51,690
and this person instead of all of you growing together and learning together because there's enough

181
00:13:51,690 --> 00:13:52,980
to evolve for jobs for everybody.

182
00:13:52,980 --> 00:13:56,860
You don't need to beat out everybody to be the number one developer.

183
00:13:56,970 --> 00:14:03,630
So that mentality was was a little bit annoying to me but then again I worked in Tron on Silicon Valley

184
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:12,600
and I think those areas especially have have really really strong individualistic philosophies.

185
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:13,380
All right.

186
00:14:13,500 --> 00:14:18,290
This is another question from D.H. from where and how did you learn and become a developer.

187
00:14:18,330 --> 00:14:24,120
So when I started to learn to be a developer I probably spent I would say 20 dollars.

188
00:14:24,210 --> 00:14:31,590
I think I bought a book on H2 AML and CSX and the rest was all online for free just using online resources.

189
00:14:31,590 --> 00:14:37,170
The only difference was that when I started to learn there were very few resources online I think I

190
00:14:37,170 --> 00:14:45,420
used one blog post that that told me to use Photoshop and -- and some tools that actually didn't even

191
00:14:45,420 --> 00:14:45,940
need.

192
00:14:45,990 --> 00:14:53,130
But it was really hard to find resources online when I started to learn so I essentially just try to

193
00:14:53,130 --> 00:15:00,180
grab as many resources as possible and create my own curriculum but it's not like it is now I think.

194
00:15:00,180 --> 00:15:03,310
Right now we have a lot of resources online.

195
00:15:03,410 --> 00:15:08,390
It's a lot easier and there's more of a clear cut path to become a web developer.

196
00:15:08,390 --> 00:15:14,070
So I'm a little bit jealous but I also did the same thing that you probably are doing which is watch

197
00:15:14,070 --> 00:15:21,120
a lot of online courses read or a lot of books read a lot of articles and most importantly building

198
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:25,970
my own projects and coding as much as possible that nothing beats actually coding.

199
00:15:25,970 --> 00:15:31,050
Now you can watch videos all day but if you're not doing anything if you're not producing anything that's

200
00:15:31,050 --> 00:15:31,650
not.

201
00:15:31,650 --> 00:15:37,070
It's like watching a tennis match and trying to become a better tennis player is just not going to happen.

202
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:41,390
We have Jamie who asks What's the best way to practice code is it good for.

203
00:15:41,390 --> 00:15:48,150
Is it good by imitating someone else code for practicing again it goes back to my last point.

204
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:53,860
The best way to practice code is to code the more you code the more you practice the better it is.

205
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:59,330
But keep in mind that the best way to code is to solve your own problems create your own projects.

206
00:15:59,340 --> 00:16:05,880
I actually don't recommend just watching all my videos and following along without coding because then

207
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,450
you're not going to be able to do things on your own.

208
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:16,130
The best way to code is to code by by doing your own thing.

209
00:16:16,470 --> 00:16:19,580
You can watch a hundred videos on people coding and follow along.

210
00:16:19,590 --> 00:16:25,680
But if you don't understand why we're doing things then when you're left to your own device you're not

211
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,380
going to be able to do anything.

212
00:16:28,380 --> 00:16:31,580
So the best way to code is think of a project today.

213
00:16:31,590 --> 00:16:37,820
Think of a task that you have to do over and over in your life and see if I can automate it with code.

214
00:16:38,340 --> 00:16:41,150
That's the best way to learn tai Lim.

215
00:16:41,220 --> 00:16:43,800
I would ask What is your favorite tech stack.

216
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:49,260
My favorite test that tech stack is the one that lets me accomplish my goal as fast as possible.

217
00:16:49,260 --> 00:16:51,390
That's a very vague answer.

218
00:16:51,420 --> 00:16:59,010
But honestly anything that lets me finish fast and deliver something fast is my favorite tech stack

219
00:16:59,340 --> 00:17:04,520
because I tend to work by myself or in small teams.

220
00:17:04,650 --> 00:17:06,960
I really prefer things that are efficient.

221
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:13,230
So for example I'm not a big fan of typescript because although you get type safety and static typing

222
00:17:13,740 --> 00:17:15,000
it's a lot of extra code.

223
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:20,280
It's the same reason that I personally am not a big fan of Java programming not because it's not a great

224
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:27,420
language but because for my personally use cases I'm now working at a big company with thousands of

225
00:17:27,420 --> 00:17:30,250
developers for let's say financial institution.

226
00:17:30,390 --> 00:17:37,440
If I'm building a personal project I rather use something quick and easy like Python or JavaScript to

227
00:17:37,890 --> 00:17:40,370
write a few lines of code and accomplish a goal.

228
00:17:40,380 --> 00:17:46,200
So there's really no favorite text that gets the stack that allows me to accomplish a goal the fastest

229
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:52,950
which happens to be usually dynamically typed languages and usually the languages that I'm comfortable

230
00:17:52,950 --> 00:17:57,630
with I don't need to learn something new until I have a need to to learn something new.

231
00:17:57,820 --> 00:17:58,680
All right.

232
00:17:58,710 --> 00:18:02,540
Mora Les's junior Tess Morales Junior.

233
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:03,870
That's what it is.

234
00:18:03,870 --> 00:18:07,310
Any advice on escaping the golden handcuffs and going freelance.

235
00:18:07,310 --> 00:18:12,660
I have a cushy non developer job at Google and it's hard to imagine leaving one family in a mortgage.

236
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:20,850
But I long for freedom and this this topic of freelancer is another topic that has come up many many

237
00:18:20,850 --> 00:18:25,910
times so let me address it right now.

238
00:18:25,930 --> 00:18:33,260
You know I get to work remotely I get to work for myself which I feel very fortunate fortunate about

239
00:18:33,290 --> 00:18:35,840
and I'm extremely lucky.

240
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:41,280
But when it comes to freelancing I actually am against freelancing.

241
00:18:41,510 --> 00:18:43,370
Obviously every situation is different.

242
00:18:43,370 --> 00:18:43,910
Different.

243
00:18:43,940 --> 00:18:49,310
But let me explain why I think freelancing might not be the best option for most of you not all of you

244
00:18:49,340 --> 00:18:52,940
but for most of you you see when it comes to freelancing.

245
00:18:53,750 --> 00:18:55,590
Let's say you're just starting to learn.

246
00:18:55,670 --> 00:18:56,890
You're just learning to code.

247
00:18:57,380 --> 00:19:02,600
If you go straight into freelancing you lose the ability to work with others to learn from others and

248
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:07,980
actually be in a company and understand how their processes work how they work with developers.

249
00:19:08,090 --> 00:19:14,030
You gain a lot of experience by working on projects with others with other developers working with management

250
00:19:14,030 --> 00:19:19,190
teams working with with project managers scrum masters.

251
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:24,760
That's a really really valuable experience that I really recommend for people just getting into coding.

252
00:19:24,770 --> 00:19:29,090
Now let's say that you've had a couple of years of experience you've worked with teams you have that

253
00:19:29,090 --> 00:19:32,060
experience should you go into freelancing.

254
00:19:32,060 --> 00:19:38,730
I think you should go into freelancing if you have a clear edge or a clear advantage over others.

255
00:19:38,750 --> 00:19:45,020
For example you have an existing client base and you have people that really trust your work or you

256
00:19:45,020 --> 00:19:47,750
offer a really unique skill.

257
00:19:47,750 --> 00:19:54,860
The problem with freelancing right now is that you're essentially battling with thousands potentially

258
00:19:54,860 --> 00:19:58,540
millions of other freelancers to get a job.

259
00:19:58,550 --> 00:20:04,790
A lot of people might go to places like work or any type of place where you can bid on projects.

260
00:20:04,790 --> 00:20:14,020
What happens is in those scenarios people just bid and it's a battle to lower and lower prices.

261
00:20:14,030 --> 00:20:21,440
So what happens you eventually become an employee of a contract that you probably didn't charge enough

262
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:22,130
for.

263
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:28,550
So it's really hard for you to compete with people that keep lowering and lowering and lowering prices

264
00:20:28,580 --> 00:20:33,650
and you'll see that if you're a freelancer that's what will happen unless you have an established client

265
00:20:33,650 --> 00:20:41,060
base unless you have a really distinct advantage maybe you're extremely skilled in graphic design and

266
00:20:41,060 --> 00:20:46,880
you're well known then yes maybe you can charge more for it but people that are usually looking for

267
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,540
freelancers are usually looking for the cheapest price.

268
00:20:50,660 --> 00:20:57,920
And when you do that you stop valuing your time you stop being a slave to the person that created the

269
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:02,420
contract and you're trying to fulfill somebodies you're trying to fulfill.

270
00:21:02,420 --> 00:21:08,420
And please this person so that they give you a good review for the next contract job.

271
00:21:08,950 --> 00:21:16,370
I think freelancer jobs are can be good but there's also a lot of issues that come with it.

272
00:21:16,820 --> 00:21:23,720
If you want to be a freelancer or perhaps be your own boss I think there's better ways for you to go

273
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:24,170
about it.

274
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:30,800
I think there's smarter ways to go about it instead of competing with others on price.

275
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:35,140
So I know that's not really helpful is just my personal opinion when it comes to freelancing.

276
00:21:35,150 --> 00:21:41,690
But it is a question that I get past a lot freelancing essentially involves you taking a lot of time

277
00:21:41,690 --> 00:21:47,780
finding clients working a lot for clients and at the end of the day why not just work for a company

278
00:21:47,810 --> 00:21:51,110
that already has the clients for you so you can gain that experience.

279
00:21:51,110 --> 00:21:59,360
You might think you have the freedom of being a freelancer being your own job but instead your you are

280
00:21:59,360 --> 00:22:02,120
an employee of whoever your contractor is.

281
00:22:02,120 --> 00:22:02,870
That's my advice.

282
00:22:02,870 --> 00:22:07,260
I know it's not it's not very very helpful.

283
00:22:07,490 --> 00:22:13,340
But like I said it's not for everybody I think there's there's better opportunities for you to work

284
00:22:13,370 --> 00:22:14,360
remotely.

285
00:22:14,360 --> 00:22:15,830
You can work for remote companies.

286
00:22:15,830 --> 00:22:20,930
There's tons of Web sites right now of showing companies that hire remote workers.

287
00:22:20,930 --> 00:22:26,540
I think that's a better option for you than being a freelancer because the reasons that I mentioned

288
00:22:27,590 --> 00:22:28,290
previously.

289
00:22:28,370 --> 00:22:31,120
JT álvarez eight task.

290
00:22:31,130 --> 00:22:36,350
How is life as far as time spent with family and doing what you like now as an instructor and before

291
00:22:36,350 --> 00:22:38,260
when you work for a company to enjoy.

292
00:22:38,270 --> 00:22:43,370
Do you enjoy work more now or before when you work for a company hands down.

293
00:22:43,370 --> 00:22:45,920
I absolutely love what I'm doing now.

294
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:51,500
I wake up every day and all I can think about is is work and what I'm going to teach or what video I'm

295
00:22:51,500 --> 00:22:58,730
going to record or what coding challenge I'm going to do I am I feel so extremely lucky to be at a point

296
00:22:58,790 --> 00:23:02,240
in my life where I absolutely adore and love what I'm doing.

297
00:23:03,350 --> 00:23:08,600
And I wouldn't I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world being a developer was absolutely great

298
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,460
working full time for a company.

299
00:23:10,460 --> 00:23:11,000
I loved it.

300
00:23:11,030 --> 00:23:18,630
You know I had a lot of friends I got along really well with with my bosses with my clients.

301
00:23:18,710 --> 00:23:25,570
But having having the freedom to to work on what I want to work on my projects.

302
00:23:25,570 --> 00:23:32,610
But most importantly knowing that the work that I do maybe impacts just a little bit a little bit of

303
00:23:33,070 --> 00:23:33,820
the world.

304
00:23:33,820 --> 00:23:40,470
I think it is a really rewarding feeling and I'm extremely thankful to to know that you know not everybody

305
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:47,020
is going to love my courses but at least there are some that do enjoy my courses and gain a bit of help

306
00:23:47,140 --> 00:23:53,320
in their career through it and that is the most rewarding feeling and honestly the past two years since

307
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:54,460
I've started to teach.

308
00:23:54,460 --> 00:24:01,420
Have been some of the happiest moments of my life and I know this thing isn't going to last forever.

309
00:24:01,420 --> 00:24:07,150
I know I'm not going to teach forever but I'm really appreciative of this moment to have this opportunity.

310
00:24:07,210 --> 00:24:08,030
At least for now.

311
00:24:08,050 --> 00:24:08,440
All right.

312
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:16,000
Mr. Lucifer's asks be safe secure and stable life being a skillful employee working for someone else

313
00:24:16,450 --> 00:24:20,830
or dreaming big and starting a business on your own and being your own boss.

314
00:24:20,860 --> 00:24:23,230
What path you suggest.

315
00:24:23,230 --> 00:24:24,460
Honestly it really depends.

316
00:24:24,460 --> 00:24:30,280
I think everybody wants the ideal work for yourself own your own business work remotely.

317
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:31,410
Live wherever you want.

318
00:24:31,420 --> 00:24:39,220
It sounds sexy but it's it's not for everybody and you know I before I started teaching before I was

319
00:24:39,220 --> 00:24:41,550
a developer I started a bunch of businesses.

320
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:47,670
I was running a surfing yoga retreats in Nicaragua I was doing Adventure Tours.

321
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,140
I was doing adventurous businesses.

322
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:56,170
I was trying all these different things that in the end weren't extremely successful but there are a

323
00:24:56,170 --> 00:24:57,010
lot of fun.

324
00:24:57,070 --> 00:25:00,620
And meanwhile I had friends who were doing their MBA.

325
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:06,970
They were becoming lawyers and you know they have really nice life right now.

326
00:25:06,970 --> 00:25:13,960
They have they have families who are very comfortable and there's actually there's actually an advantage

327
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:14,550
there.

328
00:25:14,650 --> 00:25:19,810
As you start to work at a company and you see people leave that company most people think oh why should

329
00:25:19,870 --> 00:25:20,750
I should leave too.

330
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:25,090
But you can also look at it as an opportunity for somebody else has left.

331
00:25:25,090 --> 00:25:32,800
Now you are one step closer to going up that that corporate or company ladder.

332
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:37,180
So I think it's not it's not one is better than the other.

333
00:25:37,180 --> 00:25:42,700
It really depends on why you prefer what kind of lifestyle you prefer you do you want more of a stable

334
00:25:42,700 --> 00:25:48,400
comfortable life to make sure that you can provide for your family or are you at a stage in your life

335
00:25:48,430 --> 00:25:54,340
where you can perhaps take more risks and you're okay with the higher ups in high high Downs high ups

336
00:25:54,340 --> 00:25:57,260
and high downs that may pay off.

337
00:25:57,250 --> 00:26:03,130
Maybe not in the end but I think every day if you're working towards what your ideal life should look

338
00:26:03,130 --> 00:26:07,090
like eventually you will get there but don't expect to get there overnight.

339
00:26:07,090 --> 00:26:08,740
You know it's it's hard work.

340
00:26:08,740 --> 00:26:09,610
Nothing comes easy.

341
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,260
There's no easy solution.

342
00:26:11,290 --> 00:26:17,500
So all you can do is kind of work towards that goal and learn every day and improve every day and eventually

343
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,490
you'll get there but it really matters.

344
00:26:21,490 --> 00:26:24,680
It's the best thing you can do is to have a plan for yourself tonight.

345
00:26:24,730 --> 00:26:29,050
Write down what you value and based on those values and what makes you happy.

346
00:26:29,050 --> 00:26:32,800
Decide what type of path you want to take.

347
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,540
I got all philosophical there for you.

348
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:36,730
All right let's get back to some coding.

349
00:26:37,420 --> 00:26:39,270
Justin W. Lin.

350
00:26:39,310 --> 00:26:42,060
Hey Justin asks How do you decide to learn next.

351
00:26:42,070 --> 00:26:48,130
In this ever changing glass landscape from redux graphics you all react angular view SSR.

352
00:26:48,130 --> 00:26:52,510
There's so much to learn so little time so I guess how do you decide what to learn then and how you

353
00:26:52,510 --> 00:26:54,040
actually learn and make time for it.

354
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:59,100
I think this is actually something I I'm pretty good at.

355
00:26:59,140 --> 00:27:05,470
I think I'm good at and that is because when I started to learn how to code I realized how much is out

356
00:27:05,470 --> 00:27:06,250
there.

357
00:27:06,250 --> 00:27:10,820
I've become become really good at selecting only the right things to learn.

358
00:27:10,820 --> 00:27:17,080
Then there's the famous parade principle which says the 20 percent usually accounts for 80 percent of

359
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:17,440
value.

360
00:27:17,470 --> 00:27:25,000
So what's the 20 percent that's going to give you 80 percent of a value when learning and you know things

361
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,790
like graphic you all for example.

362
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,120
They're extremely popular.

363
00:27:28,120 --> 00:27:33,760
So a lot of people want to learn it but at the end of the day how can you how many people actually use

364
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:38,530
craft while in production how many people have actually built something with craft you all that creates

365
00:27:38,860 --> 00:27:40,120
value.

366
00:27:40,120 --> 00:27:47,080
I like to look at technologies and see see what's what's hot and what's trending but that's not necessarily

367
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:51,990
jump really deep into them until there's a clear need for me to learn it.

368
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,330
So for example V-J.

369
00:27:53,350 --> 00:27:54,190
Yes.

370
00:27:54,250 --> 00:27:59,410
Yeah I know a bit of view yes but I wouldn't call myself an expert because I haven't had to use the

371
00:27:59,410 --> 00:28:03,330
view I can use react or I can use angular.

372
00:28:03,490 --> 00:28:09,460
So being selective in why you learn instead of trying to learn everything is going to be a better long

373
00:28:09,460 --> 00:28:18,580
term strategy over the course of your career because learning never stops and the more you learn the

374
00:28:18,580 --> 00:28:24,450
more you start to realize that it's not about the syntax is not about learning the libraries.

375
00:28:24,450 --> 00:28:28,090
It's not about reading the documentation from start to finish.

376
00:28:28,140 --> 00:28:33,240
It's about to understanding the higher principles the why was this tool built.

377
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,040
Why are we doing things the way it is.

378
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:36,500
What problem is it solving.

379
00:28:36,540 --> 00:28:43,380
Being able to understand those and discuss those is going to be really really important because at the

380
00:28:43,380 --> 00:28:47,910
end of the day the fundamentals is is what matters not the syntax.

381
00:28:47,940 --> 00:28:53,970
If you learn the fundamentals if you learn to think like a developer think about systems and how things

382
00:28:53,970 --> 00:28:54,870
communicate.

383
00:28:54,870 --> 00:28:59,660
That's a lot more valuable than learning the newest react hoax API.

384
00:28:59,670 --> 00:29:08,400
I mean that could still be important but but as you can see I am very selective in what I learn and

385
00:29:08,550 --> 00:29:12,690
I'm not I'm not trying to learn 10 languages at the same time.

386
00:29:12,690 --> 00:29:17,220
If I want to learn something I'll dedicate maybe a year to get really really good at something and then

387
00:29:17,220 --> 00:29:18,750
move on to the next thing.

388
00:29:18,750 --> 00:29:26,190
So really being picky as if you're dating a new technology and making sure that it's the right one is

389
00:29:26,190 --> 00:29:26,910
the way to go.

390
00:29:27,270 --> 00:29:32,100
Oh and with that said you obviously have to enjoy what you're doing.

391
00:29:32,100 --> 00:29:36,810
If you don't enjoy learning then that's gonna be really hard so that's just something that has to come

392
00:29:37,410 --> 00:29:43,500
for yourself and being able to enjoy the learning process because that's that's going to be your biggest

393
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:43,850
asset.

394
00:29:43,860 --> 00:29:45,570
If you enjoy learning you're going to learn more.

395
00:29:45,750 --> 00:29:50,400
Adrian asks How long do you plan on continue doing courses

396
00:29:53,140 --> 00:29:56,400
because well this isn't going to last forever right.

397
00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:01,740
Honestly I I'm not sure I'm it's been close to two years now that I've been doing this.

398
00:30:01,740 --> 00:30:03,900
I don't imagine doing this for for a lifetime.

399
00:30:03,900 --> 00:30:06,360
There's only so much I could teach.

400
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,860
I'm going to keep going until I I stop enjoying it.

401
00:30:09,870 --> 00:30:11,600
Right now I really enjoy the process.

402
00:30:11,770 --> 00:30:18,350
I get a lot of reward by by hearing your your reviews and how pleased you are with the courses.

403
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:22,830
So that really drives me to create more but eventually I will have to stop.

404
00:30:22,830 --> 00:30:27,270
I can't just keep creating courses they do take a lot of time and effort.

405
00:30:27,300 --> 00:30:36,480
So I hope that I can keep going for for a few more years but one day maybe you retire and and spend

406
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,300
a little more time with family or move on to something else.

407
00:30:39,300 --> 00:30:42,470
But for now don't worry I'm not going anywhere.

408
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,630
Balloon asks Do you play any instruments.

409
00:30:45,630 --> 00:30:51,500
No I am the least musically talented artistically talented person you'll ever beat.

410
00:30:51,510 --> 00:30:56,790
I took piano lessons guitar lessons when I was a kid and I'm I'm hopeless.

411
00:30:56,890 --> 00:31:03,240
Thank God coding exists and thank God sports exists because if if I had to do anything in the arts I

412
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,130
would be I would not be very good.

413
00:31:05,130 --> 00:31:10,500
Garrison asks be really inspirational for all of us.

414
00:31:10,970 --> 00:31:15,600
Do you want to do with the next 10 years of your life coaching business.

415
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:21,180
Looks like he is the same age as me so just asking what's what's the next 10 years of my life look like

416
00:31:22,110 --> 00:31:24,450
the next 10 years of my life is going to evolve.

417
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:25,920
Learning every day I want to.

418
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:31,470
Whether it's coding whether it's different things have different hobbies that I want to keep improving

419
00:31:31,470 --> 00:31:32,670
at.

420
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:38,070
I really like surfing so I want to become a better surfer and there's so many things that I really want

421
00:31:38,070 --> 00:31:38,450
to improve.

422
00:31:38,450 --> 00:31:44,490
So honestly every single day my goal is to learn I want to hopefully have a family by then and have

423
00:31:44,490 --> 00:31:54,540
a house and and just enjoy life and hopefully in 10 years I'm retards being able to being able to spend

424
00:31:54,540 --> 00:31:58,710
every single day with my son or daughter and just enjoying life.

425
00:31:58,710 --> 00:32:04,140
But honestly that what I'm doing now is not much different than what I hoped to be doing ten years from

426
00:32:04,140 --> 00:32:11,310
now because I am really really happy with with how life is right now and I wouldn't really change anything.

427
00:32:11,370 --> 00:32:16,860
Dorian again asks Do you think all the races you do in yoga and exercises help you mental clarity and

428
00:32:16,860 --> 00:32:21,290
have helped your career as a developer when things get rough.

429
00:32:21,390 --> 00:32:28,380
Yes so fun fact I'm I'm also a yoga instructor on the side and I do I do a lot of adventure racing as

430
00:32:28,380 --> 00:32:35,460
well and both of those things I think actually really help with being a developer and dealing with different

431
00:32:35,460 --> 00:32:36,570
situations at work.

432
00:32:36,660 --> 00:32:42,810
I think for adventure racing it it puts you into situations that are extremely uncomfortable that you

433
00:32:42,810 --> 00:32:49,950
have to just survive through and then with yoga obviously it steals your mind especially with meditation

434
00:32:49,950 --> 00:32:51,300
as well.

435
00:32:51,300 --> 00:32:55,830
I think those are extremely important especially when compared to coding when you're staring at the

436
00:32:55,830 --> 00:33:02,170
screen and everything is usually fast paced and it's really really easy to get lost in your head.

437
00:33:02,190 --> 00:33:08,250
I think balancing out coding with something that's complete opposite like yoga or meditation again not

438
00:33:08,250 --> 00:33:11,330
to get a little hippy here.

439
00:33:11,340 --> 00:33:20,700
But you know I think doing different things is as important in being physically active being mentally

440
00:33:20,700 --> 00:33:26,230
strong is this is your vessel and this is your body and you should take care of it and it will only

441
00:33:26,230 --> 00:33:32,440
improve you as a developer and as a coder so I 100 percent think that you know although for some people

442
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,000
it may be silly to meditate.

443
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:39,270
Although for some people they don't actually enjoy exercising everybody has their different things.

444
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:45,040
But I think doing something other than coding is really really important for that balance and to not

445
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:51,790
burn yourself burn yourself out of sin and ask about interview and the fact that he's really worried

446
00:33:51,790 --> 00:33:58,900
about interviews and that he doesn't know enough and honestly just keep this might because because this

447
00:33:58,900 --> 00:34:02,020
is something I hear from so many people.

448
00:34:02,260 --> 00:34:06,900
Everybody is just a child trapped in an adult's body.

449
00:34:07,030 --> 00:34:13,300
No human knows everything perfectly and most likely the person sitting across from you that's asking

450
00:34:13,300 --> 00:34:21,880
you question on a on an interview doesn't know everything has their own insecurities has their own areas

451
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:28,540
that they're not an expert in so go into an interview knowing that this person is not God it's not the

452
00:34:28,540 --> 00:34:31,659
ultimate smartest person that you'll ever meet.

453
00:34:31,659 --> 00:34:33,560
They have their flaws and their issues.

454
00:34:33,580 --> 00:34:40,120
And if you start to realize that there's no such thing as a perfect developer of perfect coding everybody

455
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,500
is just trying to pretend like they're smart.

456
00:34:43,500 --> 00:34:45,570
Everybody's just trying to pretend like they're old.

457
00:34:45,580 --> 00:34:49,580
Remember everybody just a kid inside trapped inside an adult's body.

458
00:34:49,750 --> 00:34:56,530
You start to realize that this whole world that we live in this whole system that we're in is just a

459
00:34:56,530 --> 00:35:01,870
game just like your coder just like you're a programmer and you're trying to create a system.

460
00:35:01,900 --> 00:35:10,430
This is simply a system that you need to learn to adapt to and to try to essentially beat or improve.

461
00:35:10,570 --> 00:35:13,200
So put yourself in their situation.

462
00:35:13,210 --> 00:35:15,010
They want to feel important.

463
00:35:15,010 --> 00:35:17,680
They want to feel like they're doing a good job.

464
00:35:17,830 --> 00:35:23,740
So maybe asking them questions during the interview maybe praising them for something that they did

465
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:27,360
even though they're the ones being interviewed is going to make them feel better.

466
00:35:27,370 --> 00:35:32,500
That perhaps will make them ask you better or easier questions again.

467
00:35:32,500 --> 00:35:34,000
Think of it as a system.

468
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:41,400
Think of it as a game and realize that there is nothing and nothing is extremely serious and important.

469
00:35:41,410 --> 00:35:44,800
Everything is just a game they can play and that he can improve.

470
00:35:44,890 --> 00:35:51,360
And if you start looking at life hood interviews as a as a game I think it becomes a lot more fun.

471
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,640
And it also removed some of those insecurities.

472
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:58,750
I don't know if that answer helped but kind of went on a tangent there but hopefully that that helps

473
00:35:58,750 --> 00:35:59,290
a little bit.

474
00:35:59,580 --> 00:36:00,170
All right.

475
00:36:00,190 --> 00:36:03,070
Last question because this video is getting a little too long.

476
00:36:03,100 --> 00:36:08,580
So Charles mentioned asks What's the difficult day for you at the moment.

477
00:36:08,590 --> 00:36:16,400
Your courses are very very kind of you seem to be your healthy way of living in your sporty attitude.

478
00:36:16,410 --> 00:36:22,930
It almost be worth a course on how to balance your life and the way you do things while you code.

479
00:36:23,230 --> 00:36:30,010
I guess I kind of already talked about this but my my everyday life usually involves in the morning

480
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:37,150
drinking coffee reading articles and catching up in the industry learning a little bit.

481
00:36:37,150 --> 00:36:44,770
I really like mourning for learning and then I usually either record or plan recording or edit videos

482
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:46,210
in the afternoon.

483
00:36:46,210 --> 00:36:52,360
Then around 1 2 o'clock I usually go out for a run do some exercises try to get outside not stare at

484
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:56,170
the screen and then be active and then I come back.

485
00:36:56,200 --> 00:37:04,210
I usually check out my emails answer questions go on discord and chat with other students and then usually

486
00:37:04,210 --> 00:37:05,630
by 5 o'clock I'm done.

487
00:37:05,770 --> 00:37:09,910
I don't do any work I stop whatever I'm doing because I know after 5 o'clock.

488
00:37:09,910 --> 00:37:18,070
For me personally I'm not productive so I usually spend time with family with my girlfriend or do social

489
00:37:18,070 --> 00:37:25,330
activities or maybe go play some tennis go play some soccer go for a hike just to relax and I usually

490
00:37:25,330 --> 00:37:27,730
go to bed at 10 o'clock not that very exciting.

491
00:37:27,730 --> 00:37:30,900
I don't I don't enjoy going to bars or clubs anymore.

492
00:37:31,030 --> 00:37:36,140
I'm I'm an old soul and at 10:00 I'm I'm ready for bed and I'm ready for the next day.

493
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,750
So a pretty pretty boring day.

494
00:37:38,770 --> 00:37:45,380
Nothing too exciting but it's it's it's what I like right how do.

495
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:46,130
This.

496
00:37:46,210 --> 00:37:49,720
This was the a video again I want to thank you.

497
00:37:49,720 --> 00:37:56,940
I cannot believe that there's a hundred thousand students that are taking my courses and honestly if

498
00:37:56,940 --> 00:38:01,130
it was just me I would never get to one hundred thousand students.

499
00:38:01,270 --> 00:38:07,870
Every single one of you that talk to others recommend my courses that really help me get to where I

500
00:38:07,870 --> 00:38:16,060
am and I cannot express how thankful I am for for everything that that you have done that you have shown

501
00:38:16,060 --> 00:38:18,270
support for and I am.

502
00:38:18,310 --> 00:38:23,510
I hope to continue to keep impressing you and keep help you with with your learning journey.

503
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:29,680
And yeah I'm I'm really really thankful so thank you.
