Simple Programmer

I subscribe to your YouTube channel and get value from your insights - thanks. I am just beginning to program and I have a question or two that you could address in a video: I hear the terms "Big Data" and "Data Science" a lot. I assume there are job opportunities in these areas because they are such hot topics. Would you please explain what these things are, what industries/companies use them and how to prepare for a job in these areas. Also, what is your advice regarding these areas of focus, long-term? We hear everyday that jobs are being permanently lost to automation/robotics. This tells me robotics programming may be a good area of focus as well. How would someone prepare for the programming in robotics and what are your thought on this area of focus long-term? Thank you. I look forward to today's video from you.

Helpful advice and knowledge

Thank you so much for making these videos. I was doing an internship at an IT firm at 19 years of age and my friends gave me a lot of shit for it saying it wouldnt lead to anything, but you helped me keep my motivation up. Now I'm an employee at said company and I now have my life in check. Thank you so much and don't stop making content!

Great channel, alot of great career advice for software developers. Really helpful ! Thanks John ! :)

This is the best channel for life/career advice for programmers hands down. Content and delivery 10/10. John is an awesome role model.

On one of your vlogs you say that you are like a bulldog goning at your goals. Could you teach how to do that? Because I often loose the battle against myself. In my head I will always be a regular joe. Thanks.

I love your channel, thank you for taking the time and energy to make it. You're like a mentor I never had, even though I'm 23 and probably shouldn't be needing a mentor right? Anyway, it must be another talent. You are officially "the go to guy" for advice. :D

Just got done reading your book "Soft Skills: The Software Developer’s Life Manual,” and must say it is one of the best books I have ever read.  You have defiantly inspired me in not only software development, but in life. Keep up the great work!  I appreciate it!

it will help me a lot , currently we are working on BDD with selenium C#, I need to do automation in structure and modularized way. waiting for your reply. Thank in advance

Your videos are good by the way. It's like you are a programming life coach actually!

The Fitness & Diet For Programmers Playlist has 2 private videos. Is this intentional?

My favourite channel on Youtube. I made a complete career switch last year and got my first programming job in July after completing a bootcamp, but before that I was watching your videos among others which really inspired me to get off may arse and take some responsibility for what I want out of life. Thanks, man. Keep doing what you do!!

Hey there! Could please touch topics such as analytics/data science/machine learning using R or python? thanks for sharing knowledge!

i have been watching your videos and they have made great impact in my life,but i want a tutorial from you like an advice on what to do

Hello John, I wanted to start contributing to open source community. But the problem is where to start. Reading other blogs I find out that the best way is to use their program, report some bugs and then look into their source code. I did the same. I used their programs and reported some bugs. But, now the problem is that how do I start reading source codes? It feels overwhelming. I cannot understand which file to choose first. Can you help me with that? Thanks.

Hi John, i really like your videos, it helped me alot with my programming in general. Honestly, your the only youtuber i take advice from. I hope the channel grows because your so underrated.(lol) Keep it up! :)

Hi John. Sorry this isn't really a programming question but here it is. I have been using the KanbanFlow website as was suggested by you a while ago and I like to spend my pomodoro breaks doing a short workout consisting of 1 or 2 sets of a workout to get my blood flowing before I get back to work. I get in about 6 - 9 mini workout sessions in a day. I'm just wondering if you have any advice for this type of workout, if it's good or not and what might be a good routine with this. Thanks!
