Too Many Developers in 10 Years?

no time hey we're live oof you know i just realized i forgot to put in my new router so um i figured i'd jump on to a quick live i bought a new router just because i've been having streaming problems i will let you know if this actually is any good uh i've always meaning to test this tonight but uh so yeah this was recommended to me by the nerds powerful nerds said this is the one i don't know we'll see i have a pretty old router i've been having stream streaming problems after about 20 minutes the whole thing starts to tank [Music] so all right so i got a bunch of announcements today uh one announcement i think it's exciting for me at least so i hope it's gonna be exciting for you guys i don't know how many people are on now if you're on go to the chat and say hello from there you go hey from the uk tell me from what region of the world you are um chiming in from you're watching from so michael what part of the world are you coming from michael e baraturakis i'm assuming you're greek i don't know so let me know i'm just texas that's good hey madame zoropas she is greek from toronto i think uh texas sheridan wyoming how you doing i'm doing pretty good how are you so tender tell me where you guys are from uh now i i really i love doing the live streams don't worry about that if i had nothing else to do if i didn't have a business to run i'd just be live streaming all the time it's a lot of fun for me i discovered in late in life that i come from a family of teachers including my father and i just like teaching go figure but i also like just hanging out with everybody hello from houston very cool brazil international nerd festival here denver mexico san diego greens las vegas brooklyn very cool i heard brooklyn you guys might be actually opening up your economy strangely enough so very soon ah nashville tennessee you know germany i believe that flag is right correct me if i'm wrong sky serve gotham city [Music] metropolis milwaukee very cool very cool so we've got a few people coming on board so what i'm going to do is i'm going to jump into the subject at hand and then uh people if you could you know people they can watch the replay if they miss the beginning so i get a question i got this question put me again so i figured i would address it and then i got some news um uh what do i do for a living i think that's pretty clear i run studio web it's a sas software as a service that's one of the things i do that schools use to teach code just go to studioweb.com you see what it is but i do a bunch of other stuff as well i actually have interest in different businesses i finished your python course what next web dev course thanks awesome program cool well thanks for picking up the course uh congratulations on finishing the python i would go into the web dev because i designed my whole curriculum from the web dev to python and even the freelancing and entrepreneurship to be kind of like a continuum a continuum to uh financial freedom nerd cash um when you do the web dev stuff and you do the javascript and the php uh you'll be learning two other programming languages along with python and then when you think compare and contrast that with the python you're gonna get a very deep knowledge of all the languages nepal wow that's crazy crazy i love people from all over the world fantastic how important is learning embedded dev in 2021 if there's word take it you know yamamoto thomas hampton all right i think it will become more specialized instead of general that's usually what happens when when industry saturates yeah you're going to see it's going to shift like it's shifted quite a bit like web development design now it's very different when it was in 1996 although as i've said many times since about 2012 it's really stabilized you saw a huge rate of change over the years this is the rate of change and then in around 2012 it really plateaued quite a bit and that's the normal progression in any uh industry we have houston very cool uh do you think i should start with algorithms no i think you should just start with basics of code and then start actually building real things subs up how you going hologram what's going on i see official nerd salute right uh what computer science jobs require a lot of math some ai and that's about it i've written software for huge multinationals three three lots of small companies and i've never had to use anything much more than uh basic arithmetic you know multiply divide add subtract the occasional time that i had to use like a little bit more complex stuff you just implement a class implemented a library but somebody else is written for you yeah i would imagine so embedded is probably not good for well we'd have to see about that i know new york food is really good though i've been down there i'm from montreal which is north of new york very similar in many respects i get overwhelming about the starting a business i have two years of web dev experience you should take my entrepreneurial course i get all into all those details all right let me just jump into the subject hello from london uk and then we'll continue with the chat um yeah what we do every time okay so somebody asked are is the inflow of all these new developers all these new coders they were specifically concerned about the third world the so-called third world which is just becoming everything's starting to even out now which is good fantastic um is this mean in 10 years gonna be a shortage of jobs well first of all i don't have a crystal ball so it's hard for me to tell that being said the trends of today and the latest data i have seen shows that yes there's a lot more developers these are developers coming on board and these are coders the problem is there's a lot more coding jobs growing faster than the developers getting into the industry so yeah a lot more developers but the amount of jobs is increasing even faster thus far so the trend i have that i've seen and what people predict they're going to be hardly any coders and it was in fact a political issue it still is in the u.s in terms of high-tech companies not being able to hire people easily so they want to bring in people from overseas so there's a battle for all that also remember that when you have a lot of countries that are coming up china india already big in bangladesh and so many others uh veneed and you've thrown covet into the mix the need for i.t solutions for software development is just going to increase over time it's just going to increase okay ah is learning level low level stuff important i assume you're thinking like c or assembly no only if you need uh to do that kind of coding right only if you need to do that kind of coding do work on what you need to do if you want to do web stuff then do web stuff if you want to do backhand do backhand you want to do front-end front-end executives if you want to do low-level system programming then go do that that's the thing that i would suggest what do you think about blockchain and solidity programming languages and future prospects i think blockchain does have a future i like the tech i think blockchain is good i think it has its use cases i like the idea of a decentralized uh distributed system for many many reasons and i think it's just going to be but i think it's going to be a niche technology but important niche but important i don't think it's going to go away because uh yeah i don't think it's going to go away so yeah it's probably a good thing uh what would you say the field of networking for the future dying out yeah i would shy away from networking because uh for the most part uh these things are pretty good i just bought this because my i'm i'm having streaming problems i think it could be that my old router was six seven years old but generally speaking networking is not what it used to be we used to run people used to have entire businesses just by running rj45 cable through people's houses and buildings now they just set up a routers couple routers and some some nodes and bob juncko so i would not be going into that uh what do you need to learn to become a data architect um i would just pick up a good book that's an example of a good a good book assuming you know uh how to create databases you know the basic rules you know normalization that kind of stuff i'm talking about relational databases then i would get into the weeds of that i used to be deep into the weeds of that at one point because database design is so important for applications that said i would also look at nosql as well i'm i'm as people know i think sql based databases are used most of the time they're they're the appropriate choice for most apps if you have an application that maintains reasonably complex relationships between different discrete pieces of data then a relational database where you want to go if you're just keeping a bunch of raw data where you don't really need to track relationships then you might go at no sql all right i love the word niche yeah watching from jersey very cool very cool uh should i learn javascript and move to php i want to learn both just pick one and go for it man you know because the second one um is going to be much much easier networking with cloud and automation ah okay you mean more modern stuff i haven't looked at those jobs but again um that kind of infrastructure type of work setting up those infrastructures like you see like just in the last few years aws uh services are becoming more sophisticated in terms of that you have don't have to be a an evil scientist to be able to use them now apparently it used to even digital ocean another one we use digitalocean for some of our hosting very little now but they've come they've they've upgraded they put a nice layer and abstraction layer on top of their raw hosting so you don't necessarily have to run your servers anymore they realize digitalocean and other cloud services that the developers shouldn't have to maintain a server infrastructure they should just have to write their apps right so that's where i think that's cool if that makes anything is your site down it says address unreachable well we'll see if you're trolling me or not i'll take a quick look and no it is not down it is not down good try good try um yeah so um yeah let's get back to uh where am i where is my there it is sorry all right so let's get back to some of the q a so uh micellar site is not down you find many systems looking good bad but sell well no one sees a low level exactly exactly that's that's a very good point there something i've been trying to uh suggest to people that you know what separates success or failure in app is is really the core value that the app provides what it does whether people are interested in the service of the app and how easy it works and how good it looks if the code behind the scenes to make all this happen is a bloody mess that won't dictate its success or failure initially that will just make it much more expensive to maintain and keep but apps especially in the first few years any sas business will have a lot of iterations a lot of changes that it has to go through uh before i forget let me just get into this real quick now i launched this who's this guy here i launched this newsletter a while back and i've been just so busy i haven't been saying on newsletters i just started sending out my newsletter today and now because i got all this work behind me and i don't see a big load of work hitting me anytime soon i'm going to be building up this newsletter with exclusive content et cetera so you go to need to nerd dot com sign up if you don't worry i won't spam if you're lucky you'll get two two a week maybe three probably two exclusive content i will not put anywhere else the reason i'm doing this i just want to have direct contact with you guys uh you don't want to be dependent on any outside third party platform that's it so you got exclusive content mostly video maybe other stuff maybe some video con and some article stuff and other bonuses as well and appreciation for you join so it says need to nerd.com anyway three i just want to keep i just wanna have direct contact with my audience and i think everybody would understand that makes sense so yeah so go to need to nerd.com uh yeah uh let's see where do you foresee as a trajectory for full stack developer i see that that's discontinuing that's this is one of the safest of the uh coding uh or developer jobs simply because i think that um besides the fact that uh you got traditional websites and web apps are served by that profession but you also have more and more companies moving towards cross-platform solutions that are web-based pwas example or just building responsive websites rather than building native mobile because native mobile is very expensive you've got to build all for android you've got to build all for ios it's like with shares it's very expensive as they say also when you do pwa based business you can't you're not you don't have to give a kickback to the apple guys in their store because you don't need your app to be on their store and you don't need to be on the android store and people can still get a very much rich thick client type of experience with pwa and that technology is only getting better and better and better and better and better it's all web-based and the phones that people have are just getting faster and faster faster faster so the advantage of native mobile is diminishing every year and making a pwa and not and cross-platform solutions much more interesting yeah so there you go even desktop now is done with webtech so i would just say you're in good you're in a good situation you're doing web stuff you're fine dude all right well c would have said hello to the man who helped me imprint deep into my brain the difference between functions and methods respects man ah good glad i could help it's it's it's all in the basics this way what is your opinion about graduate degree in compsci if it's free and or very inexpensive and you want to have maximum opportunity in terms of working for larger organizations and sure if your goal is to be an entrepreneur or to freelance it's not important at all okay hey mr voodoo i'm glad you're inside you don't want to get the big tickets we're now in curfew up here in montreal i can't go outside if your cat runs out after eight o'clock too bad cat's dead is it important to learn cloud computing for front end developers no no not at all just learn the basics of it what's it about uh so that you you know just understand conceptually and then you can decide that's a need to nerd tech you use it if something comes up owen greetings from texas the fan greetings from montreal how can you get the information from a programming language like java to stick in your head you write a lot of code i think i find the information overwhelming sometimes it's like yeah you just gotta write the code man you just gotta write the code write the code write the code frequency i got to put that out on my you know what i'm going to do that on my newsletter sign up i'm going to have a private collection of videos on my uh for my need to nerd newsletter and it will be a private vimeo collection and that's one of the videos i'm going to put in there um ad free by the way no ads where um i'll teach you how to the trick the main tools of learning quickly anyway there we go yeah texas i have business in texas and i've i have a partner and uh we haven't been able to go down there since covet but i might have to go down there i've been putting it off we've been putting it off since covid but i think i might be heading down to the states and uh yeah because uh it's enough is enough we'll have to see would you recommend a person to do a computer science degree if they're not good in math with math yeah though they may yeah you have to look at your end goal what's your end goal with that um as i said you know depends on the type of work you want to do i just spoke to that they're going to force you to do math though which is a shame because most programming there's not much math involved these days uh what web holes you recommend for beginner developers to practice html any any web host inexpensive you can use the one of the sponsor sponsor my channel you buy hosting from them you get to pick any of my courses for free from me until you go with them not expensive any hosting's fine what are your thoughts on solar energy i think solar energy is a good need to need to nerd energy meaning energy that it's good to have but it's kind of like a sideline energy it's not yet depending on where you live it's not yet like up here in montreal and quebec where it snows and snowy and dark solar helps a bit but it's not going to be enough fortunately i think quebec has the most electricity or the cheapest electricity in the world because we have so much we have huge hydroelectric dams what are we going to have what are we going to have too many deaths what what are we going to have when i don't know long time from now i would imagine it's just it just the the economy and the structure of a society is um favorable to the need of developers the need for developers that makes any sense yeah so uh learn python two months yes you can basic python you can i know 13 programming languages congratulations how to remain versatile employable sought after throughout one's career good communication skills good communication skills once you have your fundamentals and you're so you're able to pivot from one tech to the other you know one language to the other which you should be able to do pretty quickly if you get a good base in your fundamentals what's going to make you best is having very good soft skills communication skills you get along with people you can communicate communicate requirements with people i appreciate webassets signed up smart man so i i again i'll be putting only for the newsletter content and probably for the mentoring group only content that will be on the newsletter what tips would you recommend to a computer science student and why do a little bit every day um the key to learning how to code is writing code it's like the key to learning how to fight is you fight uh key to learning how to do anything is actually doing real thing don't get caught up in in academics don't get caught up in things like cold competitions and stuff like that just do the real thing dude so frequency of exposure is very important so you just want to write code every day even it's just for 20 minutes uh wasn't troy it might be my internet connection though i assume you've been studio web right because i just went there and it's hunky-dory so if i go uh hold on or how are we yeah looking really really yeah if we go sorry sorry sorry so here's here's the website go to the blog see it's working i'm it's not on my servers right it's on uh it's on another another server right anyway oh sorry about that ah did you ever have a chance to work with vba yes i did uh if so did you have any advice with phoebe i mean i suppose you mean visual basic for applications yeah i did a little bit for excel automation in the past back in the 90s and i did a lot of vb scripting when i was doing classic asp it's good it's good is becoming a developer a good job for life i know people several people who've done it they're close to retirement what will the impact of arm-based pcs for development ah good question i did a video recently and i think that the new arm chips are a game changer in fact in full disclosure i put a bunch more cash into apple investments i think uh i saw that they said that's pretty good stuff i think uh apple's uh arm-based technology if you don't know it it's a cpu that runs very cool yet very fast and uses very little energy so for example apple's first generation of their cpu for the laptop anyway um it's very powerful and you can run i think they've done tests where it runs for like 30 it runs like 30 hours you can play movies on a laptop a small laptop for 30 hours and it's very powerful in terms of crunching numbers extremely powerful so i think it's the future um i think that's going to have a huge impact in terms of bringing down server cost because these chips are very powerful yet they don't use much energy they use like a fifth or sixth of the energy requirements of traditional cpus x86 cpus that's why intel is a niche and i think it's going to have an impact in terms of ai ai is very expensive in terms of cpu cycles right so these chips i don't know if the calculation stacks when the chips are aligned perfectly ai but i would imagine they will make ai processing much much cheaper so you're going to get things done a lot more quickly so yeah that's my thinking about that so if like my next machine is going to be an m1 uh and an arm-based uh hardware 100 just just for the battery life you know uh aws ec2 is moderately easy to use there you go there you go yeah i remember we were looking at a few years ago as it was like a disaster now you know even though it was extremely powerful i was blown away by the technology it it takes out a lot of complexity that we used to have to deal with uh as developers especially when it comes to scaling uh you it's really cool stuff but it's just gonna get easier and easier and easier where it's going to become a non-issue a no-brainer uh every programmers every programmer self-taught yeah to a certain extent i would agree with that statement sorry about that i was on infinity wi-fi man no worries about it no worries thanks for checking out thanks for letting me know too it would have been a useful tip hey stefan i have adhd anxiety how do i overcome mental illness as a programmer all right my lizard wizard court is gonna be useful but let me give you a quick tip that anxiety is because your hind brain your lower brain your lizard brain and actually call it a lizard brain science is overactive it's hyperactive it's out of control and the lizard brain it's programming it's part of your brain its programming is designed first and foremost to protect you from being killed right think about it think about this in evolutionary terms so by nature all of our litter brains not just yours all of our lizard brains are programmed as in software to look for any threats and it actually has been proven which they have actually measured this to to magnify potential threats so think about all the anxieties everybody you have i'm talking to everybody think about all the anxieties you have and then nothing happens and then new anxiety is coming oh my gosh god is this gonna happen it's gonna happen and then nothing happens you know sometimes something happens but most of the times you have anxieties and fears about stuff and it just nothing happens that's your lizard brain being hyperactive so that being said you can influence your lizard brain indirectly through and the ancients maybe some people could guess this in the stream uh slow breathing when you breathe slowly and calmly and you do calm motions like this you're sending you got to do you know you got to practice this but you're sending a signal back to your lizard brain to calm down so you start feeling anxiety take slow deep refs and give it time relax think of something that calms you down like the ocean or something like my asmr thing i put out there all the time and do that and you you'll see you'll start to actually calm down because you'll be sending a signal to your lizard brain or the lizard part of your brain that take it easy i hope that helps if you guys don't know i my major in university was psychology but i am not a psychologist but it was my major so i know a little bit about that stuff what is your opinion about learning flutter for app development and and future php based layer evolve as back end i think those are great combinations i'm biased though if you look at php it's always in the top 5 or 10 most popular languages and since php only does server-side programming it's probably still the most popular server-side programming language big part of it because of wordpress but also because of laravel laravel is a fantastic full stack framework we use it for studio web been using it for years it works really good and flutter i was one of the first you know when i saw it in alpha version or beta version i took a quick look at it and using uh my nerd skills i said that's that's pretty good and apparently flutter is very good although i have no personal experience writing flutter codes so i think those are good choices what kind of hardware do you use for coding laptop cpu ram i'm not a coder these days i just manage the studio web project i look at the code base every once in a while that being said i do recall on occasion i use both i use i have i have all the operators i have windows i have mac i have android ios cpu cpu is becoming less of an issue because i don't do compiled languages much and even then they're so powerful and ram i just try to get as much ram as i can but apparently with the new mac architecture m1 not to sell it uh apparently it's very efficient with ram as well so laptop i believe especially if you're a freelancer you want to get a laptop so you can you know you're not stuck to a desk i use an imac because i use this mainly for business spreadsheets and stuff um you know slack conversations with with the devs and uh video work so if that makes any difference to you what background on that sign up page looks just like on this chat laugh out loud signed up too thank you yeah there we go that's it that's me with my two hairs left yeah all right so i my hair kept with me for a long a long while but uh it lost the race finally thanks for joining i appreciate it again i'm not gonna spam you like i've had this up for almost a year and i've sent out like three newsletters i plan on doing maybe two a week maybe but it's going to be exclusive stuff i'll make it worth your while trust me ah how about a few more thumbs up to show stefan some good support yeah i appreciate that the thumbs up i never used to ask for it but i should have because apparently it helps with the algos so the alcohols youtube sees the thumbs up youtube today this content is appreciated lets know lets people know about it which means that i uh are more likely to do stuff because i'm a glutton for uh an audience damn clown computing is about to get so much cheaper yeah i would imagine so that's a good thing thanks for the thumbs up everybody it is appreciated what do you do well sorry what do you of the web industry in 10 years is it gone disappear or place by i think it's going to be pretty strong i think it's going to be i think i think that the web tech in some form or another is going to continue to grow in dominance it's going to replace a lot of traditional desktop it's going to replace a lot of uh it seems to be mobile not all because there's certain things you're gonna have to do native but i think it's just gonna get better uh it seems like developer drops range from free to 20 to fang to an hour to thank 200k but i have to get past the algorithm interview i'm senior i'm a senior now by the way that's cool uh well you can make the 200k or 300k being a freelancer by the way without any damn algorithms or interviews um that's up to you though sorry for the cursing i signed up but no confirmation email check your spam checker spam i'm using a a pretty big outfit auto thing called get getresponse so check your spam box yeah so if you do sign up for this newsletter with this guy here uh just check your spam box and confirm that and whitelist the email that would be good how many immersion how many versions of the same app would you consider saturated ie counting streaming services new ideas that are and new ideas diminishing that's a very good question you know what i think uh it it comes down to the quality of the application uh we've seen for example many social networks come and go and like at one point myspace was very dominant at one point classmates.com was very dominant you could argue with aol was a was a social network in many respects it was extremely dominant it was it was the biggest so things shift and at a moment's notice facebook could be dead it could it could die within a few years believe it or not i've seen it happen before you never know zuckerberg is aware of us too that's why he keeps buying up trying to bought instagram about whatsapp because he knows that that's how it goes with those tools so you could come up with a great idea that just has the right secret sauce that makes all the difference but you know that's uh yeah easier to send it down but i encourage you if you have a real good idea pursue it man it's using mac same as pcs for net developer but i couldn't say but if you're on the microsoft stack.net i would i was i wouldn't i would stick to windows there's no question about it i haven't looked at it but just out of instinct knee jerk reaction yeah i would stick to windows steven uh zed i would say 200 k's average salary los angeles for senior jazz so there you go of course los angeles is very expensive place to live why is everything all highlighted i don't know what he means all right the downside of vba is that it's just for microsoft applications you really want to study general purpose programming language like python you can use that within more environments yeah that's true you got more flexible with python but i have to tell you uh vb is still one of the most used languages out there and apparently i'm gonna i was supposed to do a video on i just never got around to it microsoft released a new tech apparently they opened up um vba i think it was so that you can really do some very powerful stuff with their spreadsheets like very powerful stuff you could already redo you could already do pretty powerful but then they've taken to a whole new level so i've been told well so that article suggests rather uh what else do we got here all right 170 not bad i spent i spent let me try that one one more time i've spent the past seven years as a front end engineer should i try something different or keep doing the same i have mastered uh vfe and enjoy it but i don't want to get stuck in my career well are you is your salary going up every year that's one thing uh you may want to dabble in some other areas some black back end or maybe in the environment that you're in maybe you can get really good at your ux even better at your ux i don't know i don't know where you are but the more you know you know the better off you are you have more flexibility there but if you like it you know just get really good thoughts on 5g how would affect us again 5g is it pushes the web stack even more right because this is like websites will you know uh you can download lots of informations very quickly so now it's just it's just gonna make it's gonna accelerate the trend that i've seen okay uh flood and market i stick to uncool niches like html email development hey if it makes you money you know wordpress devs these guys they print money because nobody wants to do it but there's so much demand windows 10 is not fully supported yet on apple and one laptop not yet but as soon as apple came out to give you an idea how important that tech is as soon as apple came out with that microsoft announced they're going to be developing their own arm chips and blah blah and a few other big players as well so it's that's the future you know it's the future uh should freelancers leverage sites like fiverr to to outsource a lot of the work only if you can manage that only if you can manage that all right thumbs up uh hey steph i hope you're doing well today i was searching through jobs to apply to and i felt hit with a sudden thought of not knowing enough for the job any tips to get over this weird feeling no i would just start doing interviews you know just start doing interviews uh when you go when you go apply to do an interview you got to research the particular employer that you were going to interview with make sure you understand what their business is all about what technology they're using and then make sure you're fairly comfortable with that technology technology at least aware of it you know you want to interview the interviewee if you will before you go in there and so you're gonna you want to be prepared i like it when i hire people uh when they ask me good questions and then it's about the business and about the technology then and we're talking and we're talking uh i know dusk is friendster was popular before facebook it was yeah yeah [Music] how sure how can i hire developer my area barely have any developer freelancer can't deliver a good results site on site well you got to establish relationships you can maybe do with people overseas like my designer i've been working with in ux guy i've been working with many years he designed the current studio web he designed this whole thing which i think is fantastic work and he's been he designed the original studio web from 10 years ago i still work with him and he's in california so you just develop good relationships and with you know zoom and google meetups the need to be in person with people have you tried any indian pakistani dishes i have i have i really not i've done some pakistani food but i really love indian food tikka chicken tandoori chicken naan bread is one of the best one of the top 10 foods of all time nan breads i love naan breads um yeah i love i love indian food i love that it's very good stuff we have pretty good indian and pakistani population up here in montreal if you ever come to much y'all we have tons of good food well we used to before kovitz i don't know what's going to happen after but is knowing design patterns help in career development yeah it is for sure especially going to work for other organizations with other people one of the functions of design patterns besides teaching you how to write good code is to be able to communicate it quickly and effectively with co-workers who should also know design patterns so you know by default they say we're going to use mvc for the basic structure of this app and we're going to implement this module here a vis-a-vis decorator pattern or we're going to implement this via microservices et cetera et cetera so this way um you don't have to go into all kinds of painful description and detail to describe these fairly complex ideas like mvc like a microservices pattern if you're going to call that or like i don't know decorator etc i hope that makes sense analyst or developer as a fresher i'm not sure what you mean by that question hey dede how are you nice to watch at 5 30 am when i can't sleep i'm here to help i put people to sleep all the time so you should start sleeping like a baby fairly soon which java platform is better off spring or java server faces spring spring spring i haven't looked at java server faces uh in like a long time what it did back in the day it was a total disaster i don't know how it is today but back in the day it was a total disaster it was unbelievable they talked like mega abstraction what a disaster but i haven't used it maybe it's great now i don't know but i think spring is the king right rod johnson inventor of spring we need more people to make more machines and more automated process so i don't think there would be an over saturation developers or engineers what do you think i agree 100 i think the the every so often economies go through massive changes last one was the 90s with the rise of the information age everybody got rid of their fish tanks and aquariums and started buying computers instead and everybody started surfing the web it was not just nerds on bb neck you know and now we're entering we're about to start this whole new phase the ai and robotics and maybe vr and ar that's all just around the corner starting to develop now like i said ai kind of reminds me of um the web 1994 you know in terms of where it is in this development cycle but i get the impression i get the impression that ai is going to be slower to develop uh non-bread means bread bread ah that's a good point but we're i'm i'm uh i'm a canadian who doesn't that doesn't speak hindi so good point though i stutter yeah i love naan i love indian naan there we go that indian bread is fantastic lizard wizard what do you think about peruvian food i've had it actually i was down in iquitos many many years ago it was good but because there's a bacterial differences between us and them i didn't want to get sick it's not a negative comment i remember we had peruvian businesses associated came to europe and he got violently ill because he couldn't handle the food so that being said i would have them super char cook the food for me [Music] but i had like the delicacy i had pai che back down in uh in ikitos it was very good uh i might learn i might like to learn koda 26 not even close jump on it i staff from nigeria hey how you doing man thanks for joining in must be late for you out there uh mango lassi is tremendous yeah when you hire someone what do you look for in the person i look uh first calm dis calm disposition good uh interpersonal skills and of course good knowledge um being able to write well concisely i want somebody who can get to the point very quickly these are the things i look for and most business people hey how are you what is the future of react native and how would i get an internship as a first year cs student i am canadian but studying abroad well just send out a bunch of cvs make sure your cv is you know is uh concise to the point do some react work tell them you've done some react work tell everyone to learn if you write concisely professionally i show them a little bit of github work uh you you'll crack something i can't i can't over i cannot overstate how important it is that you learn to write well and communicate well short to the point and that will serve you better than learning new languages it will be out by the end of this month i'll be releasing a whole bunch of videos what's your i have them i have a bunch recorded i just have to edit them and so forth what's your main focus go this year stefan my main focus this year is to um to expand um and improve the quality of the content that they put out for public consumption like we're doing here with the newsletter and so forth i got some business stuff with studio web that we're working on it's it's internal and i got some stuff outside of the business outside of the tech in industry that i'm working on as well that kind of stuff a few other things uh would you jump in the ring with mike tyson if you're offering enough money i would jump in the ring with mike tyson for free just for the experience just for the experience is great of course you would beat the hell out of him i'm pretty sure but i i love to fight and to get in the ring with that guy i think he's you know he's got his problems but he's one of the best technical fighters of all time and it would be fun i mean he seems like he's got it together now so i don't think he'd knock my head off too much but i would go in for free i would love to fight him you know sparring match you know be good i might get in a few shots is coding while fasted a good idea wild fast you know i find after the second day of coding of fasting rather my i get a much more clarity in my brain just drink a lot of water maybe a little coffee and i just i'm much more energetic i'm much more a much you know much more uh up lively so yeah but after our first day or so when you first start fasting it's tough you got to get used to it but after you've done it a few times your body gets used to it and it becomes very relaxing believe it or not bro they say this every year is this finally a year that coding jobs disappeared nope yeah that's it again that has to do with that whole lizard brain fear i told you about earlier on the stream people our lizard brain unnaturally creates anxieties for us remember that next time you're feeling anxious or worried about stuff remember that your lizard brain artificially magnifies potential threats imagined or otherwise and um most of the time nothing will come of them just keep that in mind and breathe slowly and deeply and the fears will fade so fast yeah 26 is plenty yes it's plenty young still there are examples of folks pushing 40 plus that are learning to how to code and getting jobs so yeah i want to learn coding and photo too no problem you could get started you could start getting paid as a junior coder within a few months i'm i am really committed to it should i start with js or sql js start with the web stack sql is at the end of the stack if you if you got my i don't know if you got my my curriculum the studio web the order of which the courses fall within the program are the orders you take you do your html5 your css3 you do your javascript you do your php sql then you do a php and then sql okay that's how you do it you're never too old to code i'm 60 and still putting out a couple hundred lines a day there you go fantastic see what i mean just stay in shape just stay in shape you know do some basic exercise some weight training you know don't get yourself into bmi body mass index in line et cetera that helps start your career as a data analyst or web drawer which will be a good choice for grabbing for his job i know look at your local job environment i it's unbiased i go web developer that's what i prefer but you know look around see the local job environments let me remind you guys i have this newsletter here uh i launched it a while back but i just was so busy but i just sent out the first one in a while i'm going to be sending out with newsletters once every two days once every three days maybe not too much you could unsubscribe of course you know i just want to have direct contact with you guys so become less platform dependent and you're going to have exclusive content there but you won't see publicly on youtube okay so yeah sign up there need tuner.com the link is in the description under the video as well uh the person who designed your studio well what soft skills and tech skills you like that you you keep him doing your site for 10 years good question uh first of all i trust him because i i have known him for 10 years so i know he delivers if you say you're gonna deliver deliver the code on friday deliver it on friday if you say you're going to it's going to take it's going to take 20 hours to do don't come back with 30 hours you charge him for 20 hours and i know that he does good work and at this point he's not only good with the aesthetics he's good with the ux user experience he understands how to logically uh position things um so i don't have to micromanage him he's you know in 10 years ago i had to do i had to be a little bit more on top of things in terms of the in terms of you know telling i could do this do this to this okay place that's here do this don't you change that it was that kind of thing uh but now i just i just i just literally take out a pen and paper and i'll draw out stuff and i'll say this is the color scheme uh here's the font phase the primary font phase is the imagery this type of image you want to use have at it and he comes back and it's like you know 90 95 done and that's because he just he's just really good now so yeah it's just that communication that professionalism i can count on him and that's what does it stefan's voice is asmr definitely a good video to pass out with a there you go yeah yeah i used to have a side my oatmeal i used i still have my old site is called killer sights and uh back in the day people used to say i had a good asmr voice so uh i was gonna have my you know here it is see since 1996 this is this first my first actually i bought i bought this from the previous owner in 1999 i believe i created i i registered studio web in 1998 but i had sites before that my first site was in 94 but yeah so i why did i get into that yeah so i had qr sites and all these people i had people calling me they would listen to my my instructional videos in the background to to relax them so i was gonna come out with a video called uh killer soothing sounds for killer sites anyway i thought that was funny yeah sign up to newsletter um [Laughter] what did you have for breakfast i had uh keto keto k-e-t-o i had a keto um aligned breakfast so i have these wraps made of cauliflower and egg so no bread i had egg a little bit of bacon lettuce tomato yeah that's what i had and then i had greek food for the supper mixed meat chopped with some greek salad a little bit cheese what do you think about reuse same template to build various apps maybe if it works if it works why not you know i'll budget what's your opinion about flutter future flutter dev sir i can't say what's going to happen but i just know that tech is very well received you know worth tech as steph says learn the fundamentals and learn it well the rest will follow yep pretty much pretty much jack black what do you think is the most interesting tech that will affect web development and mobile app development in 2021 and beyond thanks that's a good question um sophisticated uh server models sophisticated cloud computing so sophisticated uh application deployment platforms that's gonna have the most impact by far so vpss and smart vps if you will that is going to have because in terms of the coding languages and the programming languages and the databases that's pretty static it's pretty stable now it's those server models uh web development versus data science which is the best career path for a 38 year old who has just completed it degree i would just dabble in them a little bit and see which one you prefer they are both uh very good in terms of money since you have that degree um and see which type of development work or coding work if you will you prefer and then go with that you have to like what you do at the end of the day i would do it for time all right 54 minutes so i'm going to be ending this at uh one hour because uh i'm meeting some friends for online meeting involvement just to get together so i'll answer a few more questions [Laughter] there you go yeah tikka chicken so good so good uh lucas what's everyone keeps saying that progressive web apps are taking over but why every time i'm on pinterest peterborough's keep asking me to install their actual native app yeah i don't know i'm not sure why but i know i it depends it's like i remember i read an article with it was starbucks yeah they when they deployed their mobile app via pwa they switched to pwa they said their usage went up 50 percent i wonder why there's probably several variables involved all right so that's pretty much it uh i'll answer a few more simple ones what motivates you to stream record videos i just enjoy it it's like it's more it's it is as much a hobby as it is anything else in all honesty doing live streams meeting people from all over the world it's pretty good stuff you know uh intermittent fasting yes inter intermittent fasting is excellent i'm 169 years old exactly i'm soon going to be 170. don't afraid losing some braid beaten by tyson nah nah well i wouldn't want to fight tyson in his prime but i think he's kind of like a mellow cuddly cuddly soft tyson now so i think it would be just fun i would do like if for fun can you do informative video on how much you make on youtube many people would love to know about all right so i'll give you a quick overview so youtube for me i started doing youtube a few years ago seriously i had a channel prior to that i just had one of my assistants throw up a bunch of videos but i really started looking at it a few years ago because i said to myself i wanted to become natural in front of the camera i wanted to become a better speaker also i want to learn videography i just found videography interesting so that's the the basis of this whole youtube thing so i started building it up and next you know 10 000 subscribers 20 000 subscribers 50 000 subscribers 100 000 subscribers and even long after long after i could have monetized i didn't bother to monetize it so i turned on the monetization because i found out that if you monetize then youtube is more likely to promote your content because they want to make some money too right so it's okay i better monetize and then i just got into the whole game of cameras and lighting and presentation style and so on so that's just kind of fun but i also found out as a sideline and it was just an exercise to get comfortable in front of camera i also found that as a sideline it was very good for business because a lot of people started seeing me every month now this time of year on youtube it's like maybe a quarter million people watch my streams my views a month then on the height it can go up to seven hundred thousand a month um and then i have other air platforms like killer sites my killer sites network and the killer sites php how to build web i haven't checked in a while but they get a million or two million page views a month depending collectively so there's a lot of traffic there um yeah so how much do i make i make enough that i could you could pay a typical mortgage there's no question about that um that's just with the youtube money um the ads i also get request i get all the time i get people wanting me to do ads for them and i've done a bunch of ads you've seen in the past i refuse 90 of them 95 98 of them so i get paid to do ads as well um on occasion and again i do it for him why not you know steph needs a new iphone i'll do an ad right um and then uh what is it there's there's all these other places so depending on the youtuber and depending on the niche that they're in they can make different levels of money um but it takes time um apparently the average youtuber takes two 22 months nearly two years to get to 1 000 subs so it's the first 1000 subs that are hard so anyway i don't know i hope that answers that question uh so i'm am i getting rich on youtube no is it can it pay a mortgage or pay for porsches i could pay for a porsche yeah i could but it's not uh it's not a you know yeah it's just it's a sideline for me how often do you fast steph i'm doing it like i do 18 hour fast at least once a week sometimes twice a week sometimes i just forget the to to eat uh what are your tips to manage time while coding sometimes i don't realize that i'm calling for our servers seven hours straight well you know you let your brain tell you when you're getting fatigued or not what do you have to say about azir i have not used azure so i couldn't say okay okay last few questions because we're one hour here then we're going to jump into the asmr boat trip hi steph i i worked for 10 months i created a full classified ads website from scratch good job and a mobile and a mobile app my product is a professional product but first user to give me one star because no listings yeah you have to uh you have to build that up you have to build that up you gotta promote it you gotta you know it's um also when you're building apps it's an iterative process meaning when you get that first version out that's the first version then you gotta get people using it interacting with it giving you feedback and you're going to keep changing it so don't take that badly especially it's just your first user you know when you if you had 500 users giving you one stars then that tells you something but one user who knows it could be they didn't like the logo they didn't like the font you know or whatever a whole bunch of reasons but don't let that get you down um it's an iterative process i'll leave with this with studio web the original version i conceived of the decade ago what we have now in terms of functionality it's like the original version was maybe 60 percent if that much of what it is today in terms you know much has changed much has changed basic core functionality has changed to the extent that a few years ago or it was a year or two ago we had to do a rewrite from scratch because the code base got so mangled frankenstein's style from having to add changes and patch it all up to get to get it to where it needed to be so that the schools liked the product well enough so that is normal that's why i tell people when you're building a sas software as a service business or building any piece of software you want to get it out as quickly as possible dirty rotten code why so you can get it into the hands of the user and then you really figure out what their use case really is and then once you figure that out then you write rock solid code studio web 5 has very clean solid code but that's because we spent years figuring out the business model and the use case so then once we had that down solid then we were able to build a clean beautiful nice coat nice code base that was super clean and expandable because i really understood the needs of the application at that point i hope that makes sense guys all right thanks for checking in um one last time sign up to the need to nerd newsletter i will not spam you can unsubscribe very easily and you will get exclusive content that i will not be showing anywhere else except for maybe the mentoring group and uh that's about it so i am asking you to sign up simply because i want direct connection with everybody it's just better that way okay so once again thanks for joining and uh yes dd naan bread is amazingly tasty all right here's the asmr so if you're feeling anxiety watch this video i'll leave it on for about a minute or two it's very relaxing so so so so you
