Joma sounds like one of those kids in highschool who never prepared for the test but always got an A+

"it's not about getting 6 in dice with first roll, it's about rolling the dice until you get 6" - me inspired by joma

"You cant control the outcome of your dice rolls but you can control what dice you use " that was a booster on my motivation, really got inspired to get more focused on my goals, best quote I heard in a while...

I’ve been a dev for 17 years now. I got a job as a tester at a tax software company. My first coding experience was a little vbscript I wrote to map network drives for the ops team, and the company made me an automation developer a couple days later having NO IDEA how to code. If you’re half intelligent and tenacious about learning, you can code

Core idea: “Anything is learnable, nothing is out of reach as long as you just sit down, be patient, and read from the beginning”. And also you’ll learn nothing at Microsoft.

Inspirational.

“We fought against 14 year olds….. and WON”

i've been really struggling with my classes, but you actually saying "no one is too dumb for cs" kinda helped me realize everything will be ok

“Everyone is as clueless as I am” I literally came to this thought a couple weeks ago. Just repeating it to myself helps me take more confident actions and reassures myself that I can actually do stuff that people have done. Thanks for sharing Joma!

Never lie on your resume. Joma: "Handled concurrent micro-transactions in a face-paced environment."

"You cant change the outcome on the dice,but you can change the dice... Work on yourself,Increase the possiblity of success" - Joma tech,One of the best quotes heard in a while

Thanks a million Joma for this amazing and inspiring piece. This is very much what I needed. I appreciated every bit of what you said, especially when you talked about being recruited as a software engineer meanwhile you've not being coding for some time back then. I can totally relate to that, being in that exact same situation right now. The imposter syndrome just kills me every time I think about my new job because I just feel like there's so much stuff I have to catch up with and it's so hard bearing these feelings. Anyways, thanks for that relieving statement you said : "Anything is learnable, as long as you sit back, read and practice."👌🏻👌🏻 Just guess I have to be patient with myself and actually take a step at a time on this dreadful journey😅

You probably won't see this Joma, but don't sell yourself short! Your help with the Nessie code was highly valuable, and we couldn't have achieved the paper deadline schedule we did without your help! You absolutely deserved your picture on it, and I'd gladly put it there a second time! :)

Programmers simply don't know what they are doing - not even after 10 years. This is relatable and inspirational! Thank you, Joma.

I graduated as a naval engineer and worked as a journalist before I jumped into my master. Now I am clueless and unemployed. Even whenever I wonder to go back to my engineer field, imposter syndrome occurs. Now I'm learning data science and programming again which I learnt from my degree as a minor subject. I thought I was lost, but after seeing this video, it reminds me that we can only connect our lives backwards. We should dismantle the illusion of continuity. Thanks for sharing your experience, Joma.

Bro, I feel so happy and motivated with the things you said and quoted. Im at my first job in Europe where all my job life ive been in Argentina and I sometimes really feel the pressure and the burnout, but this videos keep me very focus and motivated. I thank you for all the time, experience and dedication you put in each one and please keep doing it because as you help me, you help a lot of people. Cheers Joma, you are awesome

"The things you learn and the skills you gain that are completely unrelated to each other, often actually complement each other, surprisingly" This! and nothing else. When you're a bit of a generalist and you learn many different things it gives you a depth of perspective. The word "surprisingly" is key, because you're constantly surprised at how applicable seemingly distant knowledge turns out to be. Thanks for making this, I enjoyed watching. You're wise, more success to you my friend.

Wow, this message arrived at just the right moment when I was feeling low. Although I'm still in the early stages of my career, it sometimes feels like I haven't accomplished much. Yet, your message emphasizes the importance of being proactive in pursuing my goals. Thank you for being so inspiring Joma.

Sounds like you've had quite myriad of Interesting experiences, never would've have thought from watching your videos. I've come across the channel via some of satirical clips that were trending, and never seen those early coding videos. Love the fact that you acknowledge luck as factor in your success (multiple times), not to diminish the importance of hard work of course. So few people even mention luck as if it would somehow belittle their intellectural capabilities. Even though everyone knows, for every opportunity we got in life, there were probably 10 other people who worked just as hard (if not harder) and just as qualified and perhaps more deserving as we would be, but somehow the wind was blowing in the right direction for us. Love the new pivot with the channel, keep up the good work!
