How many hours do software developers work a day
i have studied and follow up tutorials but still i have no focus on what to do next am just stock
Hi Sylvester! New subbie here. The intro… lol. I am a software QA tester moving into Automation at my job, so I have to learn Java. I've resisted it for over a year believing I was not interested in it despite all the great things I was seeing. I felt I would just transition into InfoSec instead. However, after much soul searching and research, I've come to the realization that I still cannot get away from learning to code and do the work I want to (Application Security). I'm glad your video popped up in my search today. Thanks.
Your intro had me rolling in tears lmao
I'm adhd and I've thought about becoming a Software engineer. My problem I easily get distracted and zone out.
Thanks Sylvester Morgan.
Thanks bro. This video helped me decide. I am a final year medical student and I also love coding. I was thinking of either getting a masters in molecular biology or getting cisco certification and getting into the IT industry. I just realised that IT is not for me because I am a kind of person that picks one thing and develop it over time till I become really good at it. So that means I wont be able to cope with learning a new programming language all the time to keep up. Thanks for the wonderful advice.
Same title to a 'T' in most cases within days of one another…
Lets be honest here ,
Title is a bit of clickbait…
Hey Slyvestor, what languages do you believe the industry is in need of? What should primarily work on?
