Keep posting videos, in good times and in less good. You hit the nail on the head with your advice on what to study ("work on projects", "know your tech stack"). Employers (other devs and hiring managers) are looking for talent that can contribute on day one. Most work out there will be mundane enhancements on existing projects, with existing frameworks. Candidates that demonstrate comfort and familiarity with that tech stack or in some cases other comparable tech stacks are going to get that job over someone that can solve algorithmic "riddles" but fail to show how they could add business value to the company. Recording a presentation of your take home assignment is also very clever life hack, wish I thought of it! Employers want to understand your thought process for solving a solution. Usually there are many acceptable solutions for a problem, but being able to explain your reasoning is a step up over competing candidates. Working on projects also has the benefit of building your confidence as well as your competency. Instead of "faking it 'til you make it", you can "know it and show it".>> <<@T_Quik says : So glad to see you in what appears to be a much better head space. Your place looks sweet, happy to see ya doing much better. Also, Congrats on the new gig. Got myself a new job in DevOps for AS400. Look forward to ur next vid man>> <<@trappedsouls2125 says : I’m not even into tech or anything I just love tuning in to see Larry’s progress. As a black man myself I know the struggle of life on the whole>> <<@Zzznmop says : +1 on leetcode take Tons of solution copy paste going on, not much problem solving>> <<@mithatercan says : Whoa! Keep up the good work bro. Your outfit, video effects, and background are all in sync and look awesome. I wish you all the best.🍀>> <<@UNRULYILLUSION says : Thank you for talking about mental health. We've ignored the topic for too long.>> <<@christophergaynor927 says : Great video, very relatable. I have about 3 years experience, but took a break and now I am trying to figure out how to approach being asked "so why the gap in employment?" Initially, I just want to say to prioritize my health and to get my life back in order. But, I don't know if thats the best way to sell myself. Any advice is welcomed!>> <<@jjorgii says : Yo I have to say, your apartment, the clothes, the chain, the lighting bro; your style is impeccable and it really inspires me. Please keep talking about mental health, there are people out there like me who need to hear it over and over again because - I really thought I could just ignore that stuff and keep working, and I still struggle with it. I'm out here trying to dive deep on C# and .NET and not coming up for air.>> <<@dsmncihagt8187 says : image quality top notch>> <<@phostings says : I saw this coming. I keep my ears against the wall since I been in the IT field for 21 years. What I've gathered through conversations and articles is that frontend and backend development may become completely automated through AI. So, I decided to focus more on AI and/or embedded software engineering. Right now, there are petabytes of historical data that have been sitting on hard drives waiting for developers to make use of it. R or Python for big data and AI have better opportunities and will pay great. There will be a greater demand for data scientist in the near future. As for myself, I want to work with robotics like I have in High School many many moons ago, lol. Don't become comfortable with front-end or back-end web app development. Keep learning new technologies and research where the industry is heading. Stay ahead of the game!>> <<@thebossrickyross15 says : That’s a cool hat>> <<@patriotlightning7791 says : I hope the best my dear, dawn will come. ❤>> <<@marcuss1479 says : Lol perfect time for all the layoffs I’m in coding bootcamp RN 😂 🤦🏽‍♂️>> <<@vakiljibi says : Wish you the best of luck man>> <<@adrianford468 says : Leetcode is a buss head movement hate it and love it. Grind hard concept like Sliding Window and rushing the process of understanding topics cause you need job ASAP is the most insane thing. Project matter more what you can do or bring to the table is shown in the projects not the leetcode. Look at the odds you get 4 questions from a pool of 2500 question. INSANE>> <<@Kaelyn_Tech says : Fire video bro! I agree with everything you mentioned. You me and Darrion gotta link up!>> <<@TheSidekickking says : Omfg yo, you were just on my mind. I was like what happen to that guy with all the girls and nice editing skills? Kinda miss it.>> <<@derickmoncado says : It's absolutely dogsh*t that employers aren't required to give US a 2 week notice that we're being let go, but yet we're required to notify them 2 week or more before WE quit.. It's so unfair.>> <<@babyboie20 says : Lowkey spot on advice bro. I fucks with ya, keep it up!! Also, can't wait till society moves away from feeling that mental health is soft. Mental health should be just another aspect of health.>> <<@Blafard666 says : Once you have been broke, like really broke, you will forever have PTSD about it... I have been doing well for myself for the last few years, but somehow I always get anxious about money : like everytime I have a big spending to do, even tho I can afford it, I find hundreds of reasons not to pull the trigger...>> <<@IUSTITA says : If you need some fake experience, I have a website with multiple phone numbers, emails, and LinkedIn accounts. Hit me up.>> <<@muhammedbojang5495 says : he's a great guy i was upset when you stop uploading a couple of months ago>> <<@mycodehan says : Wow, I have the same issue. I've been working as SD for 2 yrs now and still have issues with lingo and explaining what i did. Sooooo happy ur back <3>> <<@aaronmendez9284 says : Love watching your videos man. You should make a twitter, I'd love to follow you on there.>>
