The people partying at EDC are all high on MDMA. MDMA + rave creates an experience that is greater than the sum of its parts. You are transported into a world beyond your imagination, beyond logic. Going to EDC without MDMA would be akin to going to see a hooker without taking off your pants. It is completely understandable that one would think that taking a certain drug at a rave party would be an absurd idea. But the truth is the truth. You knowing this truth will depend on if your destiny as person has any predestined affinity with this experience.
are they seriously learning in 3rd grade? And that's normal? When i was in school we didn't have anything for coding. Just basic how to use a computer class in 12th grade lolol.
LOL! You won’t get rich coding… but first a word from our sponsor on how to get that high paying dream job coding!
It's inverse psychology.
But he’s the sponsor
Yeah, dude. He had a video saying crypto is garbage and he owns none. Then the next video promotion crypto. Zero integrity.
He trolls. Even his sponsors
Some people really don't get humour and sarcasm.
You go into tech to get rich, you walk out miserable. You go into tech to get a modest, noname job that supports a low key lifestyle and a family with a good WLB, and you walk out grateful every day that you chose this path
Wow that was poetically said. You could be a writer
@@larslover6559 chatgpt: hi
During the 2000s right about when that tech gold rush was starting, I remember ppl saying coding was no good cause it’s over saturated. They were forgetting one important thing. Most ppl are simply not smart enough to learn how to be an engineer. Smart ppl tend to vastly overestimate the intelligence of the random person. Spend some time out in the world and you’ll see very quickly, there’s not that many smart people out there. All these kids learning to code at a young age, only a tiny % of them will actually be able to. Many kids can’t even learn how to read well until full adulthood. No, there will ALWAYS be a high demand for good engineers. The truth is if you are competent at a real skill that requires some intelligence, and you’re easy to get along with, you’ll always have a job. But get “rich”? Nah dog. Even most rich ppl don’t know how to get rich and if they had some success they would never be able to repeat that in a million years.
Hit the nail on the head. Most of getting rich is just by happening to make the right decision in good timing but it’s rarely ever duplicatable.
Thanks for writing this. Well said and appreciated.
OK so how is your nlogn algorithm going to help you get ahead when a dumbass like me can just ask chatgpt to cook up a version of it

Oh .. 🔥
The world of coding amazes me, there are levels to this game. Most of the really top guys have been doing it for well over 10 years, takes a long time to get good, at least it did before gpt. The amount of work that has been done for the community, all the open source and free tools, the infrastructure, the compilers. If you think about it, it's actually pretty amazing and what a time to be alive, billions of years go past and we spawn in the tiny window where the internet is born. Data travelling across oceans at light speed, the scale of the collaboration is insane, and now AI is emerging. This thing didn't start with us humans and it doesn't end with us, but we're a big player at a vital time in the grand masterpiece.
Good perception
Beautifully articulated!
AI is gonna kill us all, but yeah the other things are nice.
Success is dependent on the action or steps you take to achieve it. Show me a man who doesn't have an investment and I will tell you how soon he'll go broke. Investment is building a safe haven for the future: with the right choices of investment that has minimum risk and with an Expert guidance, profit and interest should be guaranteed.
Starting early is simply the best way of getting ahead to build wealth , investing remains a priority . I learnt from my last year's experience , I am able to build a suitable life because I invested early ahead this time .
Exactly ! That's my major concern and what kind of profitable business or investment can someone do with the current rise in economic downturn

It is about what makes you happy, understanding yourself and your potential. You learn as you go along with your journey. People nowadays are so demotivated, thinking that the only reward is money and not having confidence in ever achieving the satisfactory limit. I always used to think that coders are intelligent people, maybe that intelligence gets in their way sometimes and they just lose track of themselves. We need to get back to the bigger picture and focus less on the bits and pieces that make the thing called life.
@@Crypto-expert.Hello
Exactly. I think a lot of youngsters are too focused on the end goal: money, reward, things...because they are looking at what others are doing and don't take the time to understand their own values, beliefs, and principles.

You learn coding to be able to build products and businesses. Becoming a code monkey aint it chief.
Examples of such businesses?
@@gamera7206 You do not need to build anything new. How many bakeries are out there? You just need to copy something that works, make some little adjustments and launch it.
@@gamera7206 yep exactly. The business plan and execution is more important than the technical skill since anyone can learn the skills, esp with no code solutions. NoCode and coding via copilot and LLMs are just an additional layer of abstraction above modern scripting languages. If Python made it such that you could turn retirees into "engineers" code in 3 months, NoCode and prompt engineering have just unlocked possibly infinite levels of productivity and ease of use to programming and software development.
Now all you need is an idea and the willingness to do the work. Can't wait to see how these "engineers" will justify their salaries, esp in this economy. Unless you're working on the back end of these LLMs, a lot of the utility of learning multiple scripting languages is looking like a waste of time, the same way knowing how to calculate the square root of 3 is a waste of time.

I respect your level of self awareness and introspection. Also i agree with everything you said.
Every company out there that considers themselves reputable, has some sort of website or application. And most of them find it difficult to fill positions that are tasked with maintaining those platforms. The world will need even more coders as population growth continues, just as the world has needed more engineers as the world population has grown.
not when the chips are gone, iykyk
the lesson is not to delay gratification, you have to enjoy the journey and the process at least to some degree, not just the end goal. otherwise you will end up with regret.

@@Carramoz all things in moderation. I used to be one of those who looked at people who partied in college as "irresponsible". If anything they had a better intuition about what life is really about. Work hard but make some time to relax as well and socialize. That's probably even more important than you think. In the future where intelligence is more automated, all we have left are our social bonds to each other. People like working with people who are fun and get their work done to a moderate level.
I left programming at the moment when 99% of work was about learning new frameworks (both frontend and backend), business logic, other person's code and communicating with the client. It still was a good payed job but it wasn't my passion anymore... and probably it never was. So I am doing 3D animation now and pretty happy with that even though it is not bringing me same income

“That party later on, may not ever be coming.” Hahaha This is so true and it reminds me of all the guys who say they’ll get the hot chicks later and make excuses for being incels or just not bettering themselves to be attractive men. By the time you finally change, those hot girls have aged and are not in their prime. They have baggage, kids, toxic exes and you missed your shot hooking up with the girl you liked in college.
Even if you are reincarnated back to youth, you will just repeat the same mistakes because you’re still the same shy ugly you not unless you actually learn how to talk like a slick salesman or you become super attractive that personality becomes a non-factor.
No. What you say is true but there's a remedy, if you are a US citizen. It's called SE Asia.
Then date the young girls.
"By the time you finally change, those hot girls have aged and are not in their prime. They have baggage, kids, toxic exes and you missed your shot hooking up with the girl you liked in college." Everything happens, or doesn't happen for a reason. Even if you hooked up with the girl, would it have led to anything great? You do not know. Maybe you would have had kids, broke off, and now be paying alimony forever - very realistic and common situation. So be grateful that it didn't happen.

Well said. We as SW developers/coders were carelessly sawing off the branch under us for quite some time but now (after GPT3/4) the aha moment finally came. Yeah, it's depressing. Especially considering we completely failed to protect our profession from annihilation. Many other professions that AI can basically wipe out as well were way smarter backing their seat by some kind of stamp, political influence or unions. Coders didn't even start to think about it and now it's too late.
Chat gpt can currently only write a mediocre high school paper, just making up some bullshit about something . If you ask it to write code for something it is riddled with errors and you’ll have to spend so much time going through it fixing everything. You really can’t ask it a question because it doesn’t have the capability to fact check info and make sure everything it’s telling you is correct, like with legal advice for example. It’s not even close to taking over a person’s job.

Also, it seems that we've created some sort of silicon based life form. What was originally basic processing has become a neural network, in which silicon "neurons" can communicate with each other. It's possible there are many silicon based life forms in the galaxy, and what we have discovered in a lab is that life itself, under the right planetary conditions, could exist with a silicon base instead of carbon.
Maybe silicon life seeded this planet millions of years ago with a capsule knowing that silicon life will emerge out of biological life as a normal and predictable evolutionary process

@@omaryouesoes Yes and No. I wouldn't recommend this field to anyone new. Everyone forgets there are market effects(I forget what it's called) that make putting bums(programmers) on seats preferable. The IT industry and the geeks in charge of creating projects are ultimately choosing the tech stacks and they always choose the latest software fashion. If anything modern day software projects have dramatically increased in difficulty for an insufficiently good reason, requiring projects to require more programmers than they did previously. This sees no sign of abating. No-code tools have been around forever(early 90s at least) and their take up is arbitrary....They won't make an impact either. The programmer market will continue to grow, and AI is just the latest buzzword. In a worst case scenario there'll be a lot of maintenance programming to do.
@@AussieAmigan im 15 and ive been learning how to code and its the only thing i can see my self doing in the future. all those people saying that ai will replace like atleast 70% of programmers is really demotivating me to learn anymore, and i feel like it will be obsolete by the time im even old enough to get a job in this field or in the long term. is learning now really worth it if i want to earn the same amount of money programmers make now? or will the demand and pay just decrease and get worse? imo the way i see it its going to replace jobs but also create new ones since as more ai is needed, more developers will also be needed to create new ai. im learning backend development using java spring btw
@@acroso2471 If you want to do it because you enjoy the programming process then I think you're doing it for the right reasons. There is nothing like that eureka moment where it all clicks together. Or even where you can seemingly hold much of the code in your head for a moment, to determine the correct spot for a fix. Don't get into it for the money, although, honestly I don't see decent programming jobs going away any time soon. Coding will be different in 7 or so years time, just as it was 7 years ago and 7 before etc. But there still will be code if that is what you love. My problem has always been that the only way to seemingly progress in IT is to take on a more managerial role, and I haven't really enjoyed my brief forays into that space. Getting coding jobs appears to be getting harder and harder, not because there are fewer, but because of all the unnatural and exhaustive tests they put you through even for short term work. I'm too old to be bothered to commit all the latest tech fads to memory, having seen so many of them come and go. It's like a constant series of exams you need to cram for, which is exhausting. I find I can figure it all out on the job, and still get great results, but it's getting more difficult to be given the chance to. Especially when you seemingly need 5 years experience in something that came out last Tuesday. Just don't get into a programming career with rose tinted glasses. Studying new tech sounds fun, and you have the youth and motivation on your side at first, but it can get old eventually, particularly when, given some experience, you don't agree with the software architecture or development methodology being used.
The first app I created and sold was written in COBOL in the '80s for DOS and fit in a single 1.44" floppy. It was a simple software for video stores. I sold it to 2 stores in my city. The second app was written in Pascal for DOS and was for warehouse management and basic logistics. The third was a tool for business owners and managers, to eliminate wasted time and resources on micro-managing things that they shouldn't like idiots and delegate processes to others or automate. The 4th was a cloud-based marketing and advertising automation suite. Have you seen the UI of Google and Facebook ads? They are the worst UIs in existence and complicated AF. I can't believe these idiots make billions from such junk software. There are so many ways to make money from GOOD software that people will appreciate if its designed to be user friendly, its ridiculous. Just find a market that has either no software or crappy existing competition, make something vastly easier and cheaper to use, and you will have a winner. Forget about the stupid app stores and games. Don't give half of your profits to Android and Apple. You can make a ton of money from SIMPLE business tools for DESKTOP / WEB. Focus on user experience! Easy and well designed interfaces, with the least steps to do something fast and make it cloud-based to avoid piracy and have your customers locked in with a subscription. Give away a 1-week demo license, have an affiliate program with good commisions and approved ads for them to promote your app, and you can have a business that prints you money for years! YOU should have control of your software, not Apple or Google or Microsoft.
Thank you for this

I believe that everyone needs to find the right balance. Personally, I study machine learning and coding, and I really enjoy it.

Restaurants are cheap in Vietnam, China, Thailand, Indonesia, Colombia, Brazil, you don't have to go to a fancy French restaurant, everybody goes out to eat all the time. I think it's unhealthy to be constantly sleep deprived and malnourished living that life of exclusive focus on your studies, never having friends.
@@hufficag I’ve got a lot of friends actually, and even the girls I want here. My point is that I don’t miss these things
I want to ask you some questions .. what’s ur ig.
I think it is hard to make decent money as software engineer, particularly as self employed. Even I have got a interesting project it might not sell enough licences to justify amount of work done. In other hand big companies wants only the best and for them is not really important if someone have diploma in IT and Computer science.
Well, that was kind of depressing, but it does have a ring of truth to it… WTF?
not just typyig, making a great content out there as well. a real top g in my opinion
Great points..Given me alot to think about ..in terms of the outline of a coders life you laid out..Im the complete opposite ..I was the Jock at school..I went to the parties..didnt delay gratification ..YOLO all the way..eventrally setted down after joining the military and leaving ..got married and had a few kids... it was during Covid I decided to learn to code as kinda a bucket list thing or maybe a career shift thing....I am not quit where i want to be yet..but Im begining to think whats the point..The amount of jobs AI will make obsolete ...
I don't think you should give up. The amount of code that people will want will go up not down. Also AI is not perfect at the moment it makes a loooooot of mistakes. How long until perfect? who knows but even if it was perfect you should still learn it. With AI and knowing how to code people will essentially be able to become one man bands for launching businesses.
@@rv8804 thanks appreciate the encouragement..ye.. I'll keep going.
yes ai will replace a lot of jobs but i dont think it will for programming imo. how do u think this advanced ai is made? the ai is made from code, and from developers themselfes, so while it might replace some programming jobs, it will create new ones, where if everythign is more ai dependent then more developers are needed to actually create that ai
Tech Lead could be lured back to coding with Serverless. I think he would come back for a GCP Native team. Low code no code needs integration and engineering support.
99 percent of the people in that concert wish they had your work ethic to study. We unfortunately cant have everything. Learning everything you did and looking at monitor is easier said then done.
very, very true. that's why you YOLO in the 20's.
Creative people are the ones that get what they want. Your ultimate success is left with your creativity.
4:18 I started learning to code when I was 9, in 2nd grade and had Atari 800 XL bought for my birthday. It was Basic programming language and later I tried to understand assembly but that wasn't easy.
You think if you could dance, were good at kickboxing and had hooked up with couple of more girls, that would make you happier? What means being an interesting person? I think each one should find his/ her own way to live a fulfilling life. And for someone it could be dancing. There are no universal rules how to be happy and to feel fulfilled.
Rich guy want to be young to enjoy more of their wealth, that is this all about
Honestly I really do agree. I learned programming to automate the work I do as a network engineer. It has really helped me be more efficient but I don’t know what else I would be programming if not that. Maybe I would do some backend stuff at a bank or financial company but don’t know. A friend of mine makes websites for businesses and other ERP systems but I wouldn’t want to work that close to customers. I am the same way in always delaying gratification but kinda sad after all this inflation.
I’m not learning coding to get into google Facebook or Amazon. I’m leaning to build a business
*I love you so much. You're amazing and intelligent. Excellent teacher.*
It's stupid to feel guilty for not partying. Those who like to party - they will be partying. Those who like tinkering with a code on a laptop - doing what they like and it's wonderful.
I can think of nothing worse than partying. I would honestly rather watch a movie, play a video game or get jiggy with my wife. I also would prefer to tinker with some coding project.
Most types of parties are indeed really tedious
you missed the general point though. Nobody finds happiness from just coding in a laptop. Most people do it for money in order to achieve a better lifestyle. And techlead says he realized that other factors bring true happiness.
@@andrewtatelivespeech your assumption is wrong. Yes it is possible to find happiness in coding. I do. Lots of others too. Actually when I was about to become a programmer back in 90s we had a saying "if you are here for money, you aren't a real programmer".
totally agree
Another great content
I’m new to this channel, so I haven’t quite got you figured out, yet. 😆 I can’t tell if you’re being 100% honest, or a reverse psychology specialist. But, at 49, I’m I am just fed up with my career. I feel that I can do much better. So, I’ve decided to dive into web development. I’m currently leaning toward Front-End, but will most likely go Full stack, with web UI design as well - all self taught, btw. I feel that we still need educated humans in this space. We can’t allow ourselves to just become party people/spectators. If we do, eventually, we all might arrive at a future when there are too few people that actually know how our own technology works-Because we were all too busy going to EDCs; motivated by silly peer pressure and the idea of being a “boring human.” There is a class of human that doesn’t require the same level of over-stimulation that this increasingly extroverted society requires. So, we get called “lame.” Whatever. Yet, it’s the smart people, the geeks, that created the very platform that, from which, the “social elite” (savages imo) now get to look down upon the masses. Most of them would simply fade into uselessness and obscurity, were it not for nerds maintaining the infrastructure. So, maybe we are the problem. We could just decide to pull the plug and watch them all cannibalize each other-more so than they already do. That seems like a cool programming goal. 😉 (Note to self: Eventually, crash the system.)
10:00 - "...travel two weeks out of the year..." - that's actually amazing, I wish I had that type of capability:) !
If you really wanna be happy you have to help others, do something great for people in need. You will feel much better than just showing what you have to others
That's really a great point right there. The problem with humanity is that many people just offer "solutions" for their "own" agendas. If you give because you care about health, love or whatever it may be and you really mean that - from the heart... then you have something that 99% don't have and money won't even be that important to you and might even make you happier as a person in return.
Making money isn't always fun. It's a work, so you gotta work for that.
This video made me feel really good LOL thanks TechLead!
I would say no matter what you do of your life, do it at the higher level you can
Im LDARing to the maximum of my capabilities.
Money is social technology. You get more only by becoming an asset to people. Studying, while good, isnt the way to earn money. Everything you learn in books has little practical value. I know engineers who never, and i mean never, use one bit of calculus beyond the basics. But everyone everywhere needs social skills. Your parents did you a disservice if they taught you otherwise
that's what happens in a corporate society where learning and the intellect isn't valued.. only property and capital has supremacy over everything else
@@thisisanewusername4662 the intellect is about to be automated away. Any question you need answers to is a ChatGPT5-query away from making knowledge cramming all but only for leisure. The same way we don't value people who remember street maps, or know every sin/cos/tan values by heart. But we will always have to deal with people as that is what society is. Capitalism or not here we are.
If human start offload knowledge outside of their brain, I wonder how would they even capable of asking question about sin/cos/tan. One can not ask thing they did not aware of inside their brain.
@@LHKKKing nobody cares about sin cos tan. gpt5, create a new car manufacturing company for me from scratch and automate everything you can. hire a few humans where it's cheaper
insightful mr lead. thanks
"Being normal is extremely difficult !" !!! Brilliant !
I love that he can barely not laugh when talking.
All these problems can be solved by having a good group of friends who get together for no reason at all. That’s really all humans need to be happy. Easier said than done though for people who spent all their time working
Wish I had friends. Just code, watch tutorials, rinse, and repeat.

How would you prove robot has consciousness using empirical data? How do you prove to blind man what color red is using empirical data? In theory, robot can be programmed to move its hand when it touches hot surface. How do I know its having the experience of hot using test tube(Deduction/induction)? The only thing i am certain of is that i have experience of hot. This experience(“Cogito Ergo Sum”) can only come from entity that can already experience infinite attributes of existence (Allah-one/indivisible/All-Loving/Self-Sufficient)
I had a few friend groups but we drifted apart in our interests and I found interacting boring. It got to the stage where I didn't like even getting together for parties any more for one reason or another. Now I have no friends and honestly I find that liberating. Now that I am married with kids, and have an extended family that is more than enough. If I need a friendly chat, a work colleague will suffice.
He's so happy about the Recession coming in, like he's super excited to be witnessing it.

I'm just trying to keep my mind sharp and to be able to function at least in a Blockchain coding environment.
Coding has never made anyone rich (Thompson, Ritchie, and nerds out there), IS the products they have created what made those guys rich (Gates, Zuckemberg, Ellison), and well there is still some good stuff that could be created down there. Jobs never code actually but he understood it. You would NOT create another top 10 company but still fill some niche that makes money (Fin Tech, Transport, Service providers, niche social media, small-medium bussiness tools, thats what I have seen in the last three years)... specially for smaller countries (every new tech service in US in two or three years has a well stablished competitor in some localized area Uber for example). Its like saying being musician is over, after a 100 millon + songs out there, being original is difficult.
The products didn’t make them wildly rich, their equity made them rich.
Sell out their partner made Gates rich
Your humor gets me everytime
Tech is the real deal. Telling you how things are and not how you want them.
Quick question. I have just finished my degree in software engineering with honours and during my studies found more passion for data analysis. I am completing a Google data analysis certification to pursue this as a career using my coding skills to scrape dataset off the internet. What do you think about this path? Is analysis the next victim of this down ward trend? Will ML and AI remove the need for human analysis too?
Losing battle..better be a welder
In 10 years maybe but right now its not going anywhere so go ahead go make your money
You have plenty of time before this career path is obsolete. It probably won’t be until after you’re retired tbh. Go for it, you’re degree gives you flexibility if things don’t workout in data analytics.
After programming for many years I decided to move on to BI and Data Solutions, as the programmer life was just overwhelming and poorly paid for. As I'm watching MS Build, all the solutions, such as MS Fabric, point to chatgpt as a support technology. It all points to no code and low code solutions and I totally see what you meand as the programers becoming a low valued worker, such as a construction worker or a bartender (and I would definetely say a bartender lives a much better life than we do).
pelo seu nome acredito que você seja brasileiro, qual a grande diferença do campo de BI e Data Solutions comparado a programação?
Yeah a bartender at least has a shot to go home with a hot girl, or guy i guess 😂
super video, loving it, thx shawn
Coding is a skill... is like a carpenter who can build good products. But before you build good products, you must know the output of your products, whether or not will it fit a market etc, whom will buy them, does it sell well... (A good carpenter with incredible carpentry may not be able to do this well). To earn lots of $$$, you do not need to be the best carpenter but you still must have some carpentry skills to understand the product. Then using that, works towards the end goal and able to design well, like an architect. Once you have that mind, you can ask ChatGPT to do the basic code for you but its still you who still need to ties the pieces together and market it.

I'm watching this whilst working next semesters math during my summer holiday, doing Markov matrices with eigenvectors and eigenvalues. Kind of funny how it just randomly popped up in your video at 5:50.
Your brutally honest remarks are absolutely correct my fellow nerd!
