Gatekeepers... You all know that I absolutely hate gatekeepers, right? One of the most common gatekeepers I see is teachers. Since we were kids, we are taught to listen, respect and obey teachers. They absolutely know it all and, we as simple and innocent kids, should just listen to them and absorb what they have to say. However, some teacher like to limit our potential. Should you let them do that? Watch this video and find out!

Recently, a fan of SP YouTube Channel sent me an article which made me be in shock. In this article, the writer said how coding should not be treated as a fun thing and how we should act in order to not make it available to normal people. The things written in that article made me think about a lot of things and how we should expect to see it in the future. Should we treat programming as something immortal? Should we treat programming as something that normal people can't do it? Watch this video and find out! Buy Simple Programmer SHIRT: https://store.simpleprogrammer.com/

Lately, I've been feeling like my productivity has dropped in ways I couldn't imagine before. I was feeling guilty, I was feeling down. However, over the past few days, I've come to realize that my productivity has gone back up once again and I'm pretty happy about that. I've done a video about how I was able to get my productivity levels back to where it was before but today I managed to realize one more thing: People interrupting you is also a HUGE bad factor when it comes to hurting your productivity.

"Computer Science students are constantly getting into trouble for lifting entire blocks of code from the Internet. Yesterday, the New York Times published a fascinating piece about academic dishonesty in the computer science field, which it says is rampant." "It's safe to say that in the academic world, plagiarism is a cardinal sin. There is nothing worse. If you get caught, you face sanction, or even expulsion. In the case of the aforementioned Purdue students, they got a zero for their work, and were docked a letter grade. But in the professional world, things aren't quite as cut-and-dry. When you're a professional coder, the priority isn't to demonstrate originality with each line and algorithm, but rather to complete tasks as efficiently as possible."

Open Source software has become widely diffused among software developers. "Open source software is software with source code that anyone can inspect, modify, and enhance. "Source code" is the part of software that most computer users don't ever see; it's the code computer programmers can manipulate to change how a piece of software—a "program" or "application"—works. Programmers who have access to a computer program's source code can improve that program by adding features to it or fixing parts that don't always work correctly." (Source: https://opensource.com/resources/what-open-source) So, although the idea is quite good, is it a viable option for software developers, economically saying? Is it possible to make a living and a great career using open source software? Watch this video and find out!

"When you're living in complete congruence, complete alignment, no part of you is conflicting with any other part of you. There is no disagreement. No disturbance. No fakeness. For a long time, I lived my life highly compartmentalized. I was one person when I was with my friends, a different person at work, and yet another person with family or my wife. It's this kind of fragmentation that chokes your spirit." (Source: http://paidtoexist.com/de-compartmentalizing-your-life-and-the-extinction-of-boundaries/) Does it sound familiar? How many times have you tried to act like you were a different person at different sites of your life or how many times have you tried to separate work and life?

A lot of developers face a very common problem: The Learning Bag. I call the learning bag because this is how most developers face education. They think that their career will skyrocket the more they learn. Then, they start searching and reading and gathering everything they can in order to fill up their bags the most. Suddenly, they have their learning bag full of different programming languages and theoretical knowledge but they... They can't apply it! In this video, I'll tackle how you can solve one of the most common problems that a lot of developers face: Having knowledge but not knowing how to apply it... More specifically, how to build software applications from start to finish.

Software development is a big big world. Just like any other area, there are a lot of paths you can pursue, with a lot of different specializations and things to do. One of the most common questions from newbie (and even experienced) developers is the different between software and game development, especially when it comes to its career viability.

"A gig economy is an environment in which temporary positions are common and organizations contract with independent workers for short-term engagements. The trend toward a gig economy has begun. A study by Intuit predicted that by 2020, 40 percent of American workers would be independent contractors. There are a number of forces behind the rise in short-term jobs. For one thing, in this digital age, the workforce is increasingly mobile and work can increasingly be done from anywhere, so that job and location are decoupled. That means that freelancers can select among temporary jobs and projects around the world, while employers can select the best individuals for specific projects from a larger pool than that available in any given area." (Source: http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/gig-economy) The gig economy is expected to DOUBLE its numbers in the next years. This number raises some serious questions about how we can protect ourselves as a software developer and how earning money will change. What can we expect from this gig economy? What will happen if this gig economy becomes bigger and bigger? Watch this video and find out!

Learning a new programming language can seem like a challenging task. However, as it is with all types of learning, there are certain techniques and practices that will help you learn the programming language faster and more efficiently. During my entire programmer career I've been confronted with situations that made me develop some practices that would help me learn new programming languages faster. In the beginning of my career I thought that reading books from cover to cover was the best way to learn a new language. Damn, how I was wrong. As I started to develop and create Pluralsight courses, I had to find a way to learn new programming languages fast, since this was exactly what I was doing. As you're learning the new programming language, ask yourself the two vital tradeoff questions: - Do I really want to learn this language bad enough to actually learn this language? - Can I afford the time and energy needed to get good at sucking in this programming language? In this video, I'll share with you my strategies for learning a new programming language fast!

We all have something to be embarrassed of and, I must say that, in my case, it was the start of Simple Programmer. I see a lot of you guys really having a hard time and struggling to start something new, due to the fear of it being "bad". At the same if, you can't prevent something from being bad, especially if you're just starting out and you know nothing about such subjects. This is why I decided to share, in this video, the worst Simple Programmer videos. As I was starting out, I knew NOTHING about videos and how to talk in front of a camera. I had a squeaky voice, my sentences were weak and I looked nervous in front of the camera. This is how bad it was.

I've talked several times before about the importance of trusting the process.

Before we dive into this discussion, it is important to understand the basic difference between native vs hybrid mobile development: "Hybrid App: Developer augments web code with native SDK. Can be easily deployed across multiple platform and is usually the cheaper and faster solution. Native App: This is platform (iOS, Android etc.) specific and requires unique expertise. However the full potential of the platform can be leveraged which will drive great user experience and larger app capabilities (especially around phone hardware). Can be pricey based on requirement and may take longer to develop."

Job Titles, especially for software developers, is something I usually call BULLSHIT! I've been a software developer for over 15 years and I still don't know what to call myself. Beyond trying to agree on a generalized name for developers, software developers, programmers, software engineers, coders, computer programmers, and the like, we've got to contend with job titles. What the heck is the difference between a Senior Software Engineer and a Junior Software Engineer? And how do they compare to Software Developer II and Software Development Engineer in Test? This is some pretty confusing stuff. And of course, if it confuses me, I strongly believe it confuses you too... So, how should software developers call themselves? Does it even matter?
