The Secret to Landing your FIRST Developer Job?

that sounds very promising and makes a lot of sense but I really like React. I've recently picked it up because I keep seeing React on application requirements. I haven't seen any asking for Ruby so that would make me hesitate

What of laravel is it hot or like ruby on rails

why do people joke with ruby? and why did it become unpopular among devs?

What about cobol and Mainframe development?

Same strategy applies to Fortran and Cobol.

Uncle Stef, committing blasphemy on this vid😂🖖🏽🖖🏽

That ruby guy definitely has a point. There are people here in South Africa still talking about COBOL and flash yet all I hear about in the job market is javascript, react, python etc. Certain legacy code bases can still use programmers with that kind of knowledge. Stay cool uncle Stef 🖖🖖🖖

If there is one language that is pretty much useless today and a dying language it would have to be Cobol. This is totally different than most other languages and has a very weird syntax so even though programming skills are transferable among languages Cobol is its own peculiar thing. Not sure why the mainframes haven't replaced it with Python or C#? Python would run laps around Cobol given how many libraries it has not to mention way easier to learn. I would even argue that even Assembly is easier to learn than cobol and far more useful, we see it in many drivers, kernel programming, and embedded systems. You are way better off learning Ruby lol. Keep up the great work Stef! Great tips

Thank you Stefan.

👍👍👍👍👍

>Stef says consider Ruby

Ultimate plot twist alert

We need to talk about "First Free Gig".
1. Make sure you get credited for the job you do, e.g. "dev by John Smith" footer.
2. Client must be committed: ask them to pay domain name and hosting before even starting to develop.
Otherwise, they may not even use the site you built for them

Just to let you know Stef.. UT is aggressively deleting comments from your channel. My comment keeps disappearing. Its a respectful comment.. Relevant to the topic... yet UT deletes it again and again, probably with their AI. I've seen this on other channels on other topics. I can only guess because I'm talking about my experience gaining first job in dev that their incredibly smart AI believes I'm some kind of scam artist trying to sell a dodgy product or something..

Therefore, we'll handle this like programmers, but using hex:

additionally i find being a dev in a specific language does very very well in the market place.

my java full stack training just finished today after 9weeks, and was offered to transfer to a Ruby full-stack batch for 4~ more weeks of training. I said yes and though i was hesitant cause i always here "Ruby is dead" im glad i saw this! it makes me feel so much more confident in my choice! perfect timing with this video!

what about ios and macos? similarly?

Thank you🙏

I’ve never thought of this strategy but it makes a lot of sense. Might have to give it a shot this summer if I can’t find a job in the web stack
