Learn Web Development and Actually Get a Job
Learn Web Development and Actually Get a Job
How is it possible for an average construction worker to learn to code, to get that super hard first programming job and then get hired by a large tech company, making hundreds of thousands of dollars in total compensation each year? Nine years ago, I was totally that construction worker because I couldn’t get another job with my near worthless history degree. So I ended up freezing my butt off in the cold each winter doing physical labor for mediocre pay and no benefits. I’m now a full-time senior front-end software engineer at Adobe. And I’m self-taught working in a nice cozy office. So let’s talk about how to become a web developer quickly in 2022 as an absolute begineer. 0:00 Why most self-taught devs fail. 2:18 Why you should choose to become a front-end web developer instead of back-end 4:52 The web development technologies you should learn 6:14 The right way to learn to code 7:20 How to get your first job as a web developer 10:41 Why you're not getting job interviews and what to do about it Why some web developers make more money than others: https://youtu.be/QILxmJpH6wM Affiliate Links 📖 How to crush code interviews → https://amzn.to/3JGRHWZ 📖 Learn React.js → https://amzn.to/3mSA6lV ⌨️ Favorite keyboard for programming → https://amzn.to/3mIGHzd 💻 Favorite laptop for frontend development → https://amzn.to/3YP0iuY 🖥 Other stuff I use as a programmer → https://jamescrossjr.com/programming/gear 📷 Gear I use for making YouTube Videos: https://jamescrossjr.com/youtube/gear 💰 VidIQ → Tool I used to grow my channel faster: https://vidiq.com/jamescross Disclosure → How I make money with affiliate / paid links: https://jamescrossjr.com/affiliate-disclosure/ For example, As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Don't Pick a Niche. Embrace an Obsession. | The Saturday Solopreneur
Today, I’m going to talk about obsession vs. niche in the context of building a one-person business. If you can understand the subtle difference between the two, you’ll build a better business, a more scalable business, and a business you actually enjoy running.

Religion for the Nonreligious — Wait But Why
Religion for the Nonreligious — Wait But Why
Not a theist? Okay so what are you then?
I thought about my own situation and whether I was improving. The efforts were there—apparent in many of this blog’s post topics—but I had no growth model, no real plan, no clear mission. Just kind of haphazard attempts at self-improvement in one area or another, whenever I happened to feel like it. So I’ve attempted to consolidate my scattered efforts, philosophies, and strategies into a single framework—something solid I can hold onto in the future—and I’m gonna use this post to do a deep dive into it.
If not for thick fog, why would anyone ever pinch pennies over a restaurant bill or keep an unpleasantly-rigid scorecard of who paid for what on a trip, when everyone reading this could right now give each of their friends a quick and accurate 1-10 rating on the cheap-to-generous (or selfish-to-considerate) scale, and the few hundred bucks you save over time by being on the cheap end of the scale is hardly worth it considering how much more likable and respectable it is to be generous?
