    As a programmer of 4 years, this is really useful for someone who wants to start programming.
  • @MG_Jad
    Super helpful and inspiring video. I recently started learning JS and was feeling frustrated with my progress, and you've highlighted the mistakes I've been making in my journey. I'm going to get back in to it now - thank you!
  • @Reedfender
    “Have something in mind to build” This is solid gold advice for people getting into programming. Once you get that “aha” moment and you build something for yourself, it feels so good. Use this to develop your passion for programming, and slowly start building more and more complex projects.
  • @user-qr9df1uf8e
    I find it so cool that I have been listening to college info geek for years and following you and now I got into coding too this year and here you're making content about that
  • @DiegoLlamozas
    This video is brilliant, a new series about Thomas learning different stuff and showing us the process would be really cool.
  • @kylemckell
    Your excitement for learning code reminds me of when I started my self learning journey 5 years ago (albeit, yours is much more productive and focused!) I've been slacking lately with my personal coding, but this video has triggered something in my brain to start coding for myself again. Amazing video, and congrats on your learning!
  • @its_past_here
    My hero is back with the right video I needed right now. 😅❤❤❤❤ Massive love for you Thomas Frank
  • @irgendwer4577
    This is truthfully top notch and high quality Content. I thank you wholeheartedly.
  • @ElieBeth___
    Great to see you post videos again 👏 As always, you provide clear and holistic advice. Couldn’t be more timely as I’d like to learn JavaScript for Notion and website 👌
  • @the_horror_fan
    It is good to see you on youtube again. I have a BS in Computer Science and a Masters in Information Technology. I am glad you are talking about your journey and really want to see what you got to say. Welcome back.
  • @klone57
    Great job on this! Super useful
  • Crazy how, if you remove all the technical details about programming, the video still does an excellent job explaining how to learn anything proficiently within a year. Congrats Thomas.
  • @exeohe
    thank you for your energy.
  • @claudiumihai7269
    I've been waiting for this video for a while. The level of excitement that overcame me upon seeing the thumbnail was embarrassingly high.
  • Your real talents are: time management and learning skills! Super impressive video, Thomas! You can do anything!
  • @user-tp9bu1cq5f
    Thanks Tommy the app that you recommended in the previous videos was and is useful .
