5 Mistakes That Are Killing Your Coding Progress

5 Mistakes That Are Killing Your Coding Progress

sick of endless tutorials that get you
nowhere ready for a real road map to a
high pain Tech job then let’s cut the
fluff and fix the mistakes that are
sabotaging your
[Music]
progress I’m MH hamadani and I’ve spent
the last 10 years not just as a software
engineer but also teaching people like
you how to code I’ve seen the same
mistakes hold even the smartest folks
back so in this video I’m taking that
experience and giving you the shortcut
the five critical mistakes to void so
you can land that coding job fast
mistake number one learning too many
things at once you hear JavaScript is
essential but then someone says python
is the easiest then you see job postings
asking for C++ or Java so before you
know it you’re down the rabbit hole of
languages and feeling totally
overwhelmed here’s the thing trying to
master Everything at Once is a recipe
for par out let’s simplify want to build
awesome websites JavaScript is your Chan
dreaming of making games C or C++ is the
way to go fascinated by Ai and data
python is your starting point now you
might hear someone out there saying but
you can do all of that with JavaScript
yes it’s true but JavaScript really
shines for web development it’s not the
best language for game development or
machine learning so pick one language
and stick to it mistake number two
thinking one language is the Magic
Bullet so you have picked JavaScript for
web development awesome but here is the
truth mastering JavaScript alone is is
not going to land you a job you have to
learn a bunch of other stuff as well for
example to become a web developer you
also need to master HTML CSS react and a
bunch of other tools and that brings us
to the next mistake chasing the shiny
and unrelated you have all done that
you’re learning JavaScript then bam
blockchain or AI is the future next
thing you know you’re halfway through a
python course your website is unfinished
and you’re starting to doubt yourself
focus is your superpower right now if
you want to succeed as a developer you
need to have a goal what kind of job are
you looking for do you want to be a
frontend developer a backend developer a
game developer a data scientist what do
you want to do these are very different
paths requiring different skills if you
don’t have a Target you will never hit
the mark do your research check out job
postings in your area see what skills
are in demand and what kind of salaries
you can expect now mistake number five
tutorial hell look tutorials are great
and I create them myself but bouncing
between YouTube videos leaves you
feeling lost when you are starting out
you need structure you need a clear path
that’s designed to get your job ready
fast and here’s the other side of
tutorial hell a lot of people find
really long courses on udemy and assume
that just because a course is long it’s
very detailed and teaches them
everything they need in reality most
people hardly ever finish these courses
because they have so much padding and
repetition plus as I said to become job
ready you have to learn a few different
skills not just one programming language
you don’t have 68 hours to spend on just
JavaScript look this other course is 62
hours if you spend 50 hours on each of
the essential skills you need for a job
you need 450 hours just to watch these
courses let alone coding and practicing
which often takes double the course
length that’s a Target you’re never
going to hit instead look for shorter
courses that packing the most essential
skills in the least amount of time I
hope this gets you pumped and back on
track let me know in the comments which
mistakes you struggle with most and
