    As a self-taught developer, this video motivates me a lot, thanks dude
  • @philipp47318
    I like that you said being uncomfortable is actually good, because it gives you the motivation to grow
  • @MilMike
    I have been a dev for over 20y... and this feeling never goes away because of how fast-paced the IT industry is.
  • @racim855
    I finished python full stack bootcamp a few months ago, and I am still suffering from that and I haven’t gotten a job yet but honestly man u just made me really giggle. Hats down to you no mf speak of this like you are. Thank you for sharing your experience
  • embrace the uncomfort , if you are feeling uncomfortable then you are at the perfect place to grow. !!!!

    Hey thanks for sharing this. I'm a senior frontend engineer and I still have impostor syndrome. I guess it comes with the territory; there's always something you don't know about your job.
  • @jruhhh
    This was so helpful. Its grounding to hear someone else experience what feels like is an isolated feeling. Thanks man, I needed that.
  • @parkerpack8116
    Just starting out learning to code and this video helped me with overcoming anxiety entering into the tech world. Tech has always been an interest of mine and this year I've decided to make that career jump! Thanks Jeremiah for an amazing video!
  • I really appreciate this video and you. I am starting my first tech position next week and I am also self taught. Everything you mentioned is what I am feeling now. Thank you again for your amazing content!
  • @SM7SM7SM7
    Thank you for sharing, this will be one of those videos I need to come back to time after time for reminders. Watching someone close to me study medicine helped me realize that even after 10 years, doctors don’t know it all and have to continuously improve and research and that’s the method I plan to use. I’m new to tech and still a student and after 3 weeks of focused and immersed learning, something just randomly clicked!! Then all of a sudden, these technologies and services have begun to flow. I’m at the stage of beginning to understand what I don’t know and I’m grateful for where I am.

    imposter syndrome loves to wreck my mental health. i can't tell if i'm truly an imposter or not or if i'm lying to myself to keep going 🤔🙃
  • OMG Bro I Need This Video So Much. Just Got Hired As A Software Developer And I Was Losing My Mind Thinking I Was Over My Head. But This Video Put Me At Ease And Now I Can Take A Breath And Continue To Grow In This Field. Much Love Bro 💯🤟🏾

  • @jesuskeyz
    As a bootcamp graduate this is something I always struggle with. Thanks for this video man. Wishing you success and nothing less
  • @emoon777
    Thank you so much for this video. It's made a big difference to me right now.
  • Man, this was a great video, thank you for sharing! Please continue making videos!
  • @PhillipJ2
    Loved this video man! The football analogy was great for me as someone who grew up playing sports myself. I'm transitioning over from a materials science hands on background to learning front end development and this for sure helped give me confidence and realize there's nothing wrong with starting where I'm at. New subscriber!
