There is a lot of doubt when it comes to choosing a theme for your blog. A lot of people don't know which theme they should pick when building a blog. I talk about this extensively in my blogging course. However, there are some programmers who want to change their blog themes and this is where it start to get odd.

Some developers go through tough times when it comes to changing and finding new jobs. The process can be daunting, time-consuming and very stressful. Most developers end up accepting the first offer that comes up, afraid that they would not be able to get any better. This fear leads most developers direct to accepting not what they're worth but what they think it is the maximum that they can get. So, one of the things you can do when it comes to finding the best job offer for you is negotiating with different companies at the same. But... Is it possible? How could you possibly negotiate with 2 companies at the same time, what and how should you do all of this? Listen to this episode and find out!

Most people have a dream of working remotely, or, for what it is known better, "work from home". They dream of waking up in their underwears, doing whatever they want, anytime they want and living the dream of having an amazing and free routine. However, what most people don't know is that working remotely sucks. Yeah, it really sucks. And it sucks really bad. There are a lot of things I could point out here to say how working remotely sucks but I chose to narrow down to three basic factors that make remote jobs suck: - Isolation & Lack Of Human Interaction - Need To Work More Hours - Tough Routines These are the three basic factors that make remote jobs suck.

A lot of developers feel overwhelmed when it comes to creating and start their blogging career. most have a lot of different questions inside their heads and it couldn't be any different: the amount of information out there is out of this world. When it comes to blogging, things can get pretty difficult and confusing. You need to pick a topic, create a website, buy a domain, etc. Woah... A lot of stuff right? However, today we're going to talk about a specific topic: Should you create multiple blogs? A lot of developers want to create different blogs, with different themes, build a lot of different websites and so forth. They usually can't pick a specific theme to work on and they start wondering about creating different blogs so that they can cover everything they want to work. It does sound like a good idea, huh?

Persuasion & Arguing A lot of people think that the best way to convince and persuade someone is by presenting logical arguments. The more logical the arguments are, the easiest it will be for someone to change sides and pick yours. Well, it doesn't always work like that and I'll tell you why. People are not rational beings but emotional beings. Despite we don't want to admit it, we don't make decisions based on logic, but on emotions. All of our decisions get into a path which we call the reptile brain before getting to the neocortex. This is why we make decisions based on emotions. We were not able to complete evolution and change this pattern. So, if you want to persuade someone, focus on presenting emotional elements. Wanna know more? Listen to this podcast and find out!

Are Generalists Better Than Specialists? This is another podcast where I'll discuss the old-fashioned battle about whether you should become a specialist or not. I've done so many podcasts about that topic that it is totally recommended that you check my playlist on "Specialization And Niching Down". So, in this podcast, I received a very interesting question. A reader from the blog asked me why I've contradicted myself in this topic. he said that I said, in some old podcast of mine, that you should be a generalist. Wait, what? How could that be possible? If you watch my channel, you've probably heard me talking about how important I think it is for someone to become a specialist, instead of a generalist. But... Did I really say that? Are generalists really better than specialists? Listen to this podcast

What Technologies Do I Need To Develop A Game? A lot of developers dream about game development. This is a hot topic and a lot of programmers want to become software developers so that they can develop games and work in the game development industry. While I've talked about game development before, whether it was the career or pros and cons, I've never talked about what you REALLY need to start developing games. So, I've received this question from a reader asking me about what he needed to start developing games. He talks about how technology has changed so much over time and how complex it is right now to develop games. How can just one person develop an entire 3d game? Directx? CUDA? How the hell? I talk in this video why right now may be the best time to develop games and why these technologies don't matter so much anymore.

Spend Your Time The Right Way In life, we all struggle to get our goals accomplished. Most of us end in a vicious looping that doesn't seem to do us justice and does not take us anywhere. On the other hand, there are people that seem to be utterly productive and they seem to achieve whatever they want. They set goals for themselves, create a proper plan and stick to this plan no matter what. So, what is the secret of these people? How can they be so productive? Well, there are many reasons for that, but definitely one of them is: "They know how to spend their time the right way". Time is the most democratic asset in the world. We all have 24 hours in a day and you're free to spend it the way you want. So, understanding how you can spend your time the right way and making those smart choices can definitely separate you from the rest of the world.

I Live With 3 Lazy Friends... How To Escape It? So, as a regular viewer of this (awesome) channel, you've probably heard me talking about setpoints.

Can You Be A Programmer Without Learning Testing? In today's video, I'll talk about being a programmer without learning testing. I received a question from a newbie programming telling that older programmers were saying things like "But how can you possibly say you're a programmer if you don't know nothing about testing?" So, can you really become a programmer if you don't know testing? For some of you that might not know, Software testing is an investigation conducted to provide stakeholders with information about the quality of the product or service under test. Software testing can also provide an objective, independent view of the software to allow the business to appreciate and understand the risks of software implementation. So, should ALL software developers learn Q&A and testing? is it really necessary for your formation? Watch this video and find out!

How To Self-Publish A Book? A lot of people dream of writing a book. A few years ago, I would say that this was almost impossible. There were a lot of difficulties, you had to get a publishing company, they had to accept you, you had to have an audience for you to sell, etc. Too many things to think and to take care for just one person.

However, this raises a lot of questions. "How can I self-publish a book?", "Where do I start looking for things?", "What will I need in order to self-publish my book?". Well, in this video I'll take you step-by-step in the process of self-publishing a book, showing that you can do that too. Watch this video to find out how to publish your own book.

Safe Job Or Risky Opportunity? In some part of our career, we experience this: We're at a very comfortable place, with a secure paycheck each month but, suddenly, we're offered with a risky job offer that will pay more, but may end up with nothing. This dualism in this choice leaves us with a lot of questions in our head: "Should I accept this offers? My salary will increase and I'll be able to invest more", or "I can't take this offer. It's risky and what if it doesn't work out? What am I going to do?". Let me tell you that this is not an easy choice to make. There is no right or wrong with this.

How To Write Clean Code? As software developers, writing code is definitely a priority for us. Just like architects, whose task is to design beautiful and good looking buildings, our job is quite similar. We're hired to create automation solutions to problems that exist in different industries. Sometimes, people only tend to evaluate the final product, which is the app/software/solution we present them. However, there is much more to this story. The foundation of the final product is the code. And, when the code is well written, everything flows much better. So, how can you possibly write better and cleaner code? The cleaner your code, the better you'll be seen as a professional and the easier it will be for you to make adjustments, correct bugs and implement new features in the future.

Is Software Development Analytical Or Art? A lot of people tend to ask me "John, why do you think that software development is art?". I do think software development is art. While this might seem controversial, let me explain my point. First of all, we need to understand how hybrid things are nowadays. It's difficult to find something 100% pure in 2016. Things mix up with other things and they get a whole new meaning when that stuff happens. Said that, I do think that Software Development is analytical. And a lot. However, if you think of software development just as something analytical, you'll probably be left behind by the ones who understand that software development is also an art. When you start to see programming as an art, you'll understand that you have the power to build anything. You, as a developer, has the ability to build an entire universe, just by writing code. And this is where the art comes in. Wanna know more? Watch this video and find out!

Why Is Marketing "Result Oriented"? If you deal with marketing in your day-to-day life, you've probably heard that marketing is a "result oriented" thing. But, what do I mean by marketing being "result oriented"? Whenever you try to market something, you need to focus on the results you're bringing to your audience, instead of the features of your project. But does it have an explanation for it? Well, in fact, yes. When you focus on the result you go straight to your audience's dreams and desires. When you focus on the results that your product can bring, you open the eyes of your customers to how their lives can change after they buy what you have to offer. And this little tweak on the way you market your products or services can literally change how your customers perceive the value of your offer and increase the chances of people buying it.

Do I Need A Prestigious Degree To Get Hired By A Big Company? This is a question I receive a lot: "John, do I need a prestigious degree to get hired by a big company?". People fear that they won't be able to get hired by a big company like Google or Microsoft if they don't possess a prestigious degree. Is is true?

Those are the really big universities, the prestigious one. 2- They get a referral. If you don't fit on the first option, there is definitely other paths you should follow to get hired by a big company. Bottom line is: No... You actually DON'T need a prestigious degree to get hired by a big company. Wanna know how to do then? Listen to this podcast and find out!
