You’re the best! I’ve never seen a teacher or speaker explain coding as clearly and simply as you do. Your way of teaching makes even difficult concepts easy to understand. Thank you for your amazing work! ❤

Man, this is absolute truth.
"Programming is not a memory game. It's is a problem solving game." 💯

That dawned on me not long ago that programming languages(its constructs, syntax, etc) are just TOOLS we use to express our solution to a problem so that computer can execute it.

Now I understand why it is said coding is 80% problem solving and 20% writing program code, testing, debugging, n evaluation

Thanks Pete ❤u amazing 👏

And I’m over here trying to remember everything. Thanks men.

I feel like one must not necessarily remember everything they learn, but one should remember everything that EXISTS in what they learn, so that they would know what to google/chatgpt in order to understand.

Thanks Mr developete for all the kind words of inspiration when ever I feel like giving up you always drop a video like this and I am automatically back in the coding game again

My favourite online programming mentor.....when I was about to give up in coding last semester after my exams.....that was when I met you in one of your videos, and you boasted my motivation ever since....giving me secrets in programming that help me till date....I have started building stuffs that I am proud of...Thank you so greatly for all your support to beginners like us trying to find our way in programming because we avoided using Ai to do all the heavy lifting

You're perfectly right.
Thank you for the video.

This is great content. Being grilled in a code review because you thought you had the proper understanding of what your agent did is a great lesson, and it’s extremely humbling. The sooner you go through that experience the better.
