We like to think that our ideas are 100% original whenever we start a new project. However, this is not always the truth.
In the majority of cases, our ideas are not original and it they've been done a thousand times.

A lot of software developers suffer from what we call "the fear of not being able to do it again...

Staying Late At Job?
Working can be tricky sometimes and even though you have a certain number of hours you need to work per week, there are times where you need to log some extra hours to have all the work finished.
What I'm going to talk about in this video is about staying late at your job.
This guy emailed me telling me that sometimes he gets to stay till late in his work and this is pissing him off.
Should he stay till late or should he leave the job and don't worry about the consequences?

Real Life Advice For Graduates
Finishing college (or even high school) can scare a lot of people. What should you do after you finish this thing, that we call school, that you've done for your entire life till now?
A lot of people get lost, scared and afraid when they graduate. They get completely overwhelmed by the amount of information out there. Our parents don't help either. They pressure us so that we can follow the path that everybody tell us: get a job, invest in 401(k) and keep working till you retire.
The point is: things are not like that anymore. And they are not like that for a while.
I decided to make this video to give some real life advice for graduates. This is what I wish I'd known before, when I've graduated. The advice I give you here took me years to learn and implement. And now it is yours for free.

The Top 5 Online Programming Certifications
Whether you're choosing a language-specific or platform-oriented credential, it's worth looking at my top five programming certifications for software developers.
I've talked several times before about attending to coding boot camps, doing nanodegrees but I've never actually talked about the best online programming certifications that are out there.
Nowadays, the entire programming workforce is changing so much and there are A LOT more options for those who want to become developers that, if you really want that, you should consider all possibilities.
Developer and programming skills are in high demand, and this isn't changing anytime soon. This is why achieving a developer certification can help you keep an edge in the market by making you stand out among your peers. And the programs are getting stronger each day, especially with those online certifications.
So... What are the top 5 online programming certifications?
