Hello everyone, it's me again.
0:04
>> I'm here to introduce our next speaker.
0:07
Naoto Sai, Naoto, loves to code design and
help detail ideas attractively.
0:10
He has recently graduated from treehouse
tech degree front end web development
0:18
Ian started his web engineer
career shortly after.
0:22
Since September, he's working as
a junior front end developer for
0:26
fine tech startup in Munich.
0:30
For him web development is something in
which he can write code, be creative,
0:33
and tell someone's story in a way that
is catching or Please welcome Naoto.
0:39
>> Yes Thank you for introduction.
0:46
I'm really pleased to present myself and
give my system to you for review.
0:48
And here in my system,
I'd like to talk about how to sharpen your
0:53
technical skills and keep your motivation.
0:58
So this is my outline of my system.
1:06
And, in the beginning,
1:09
I like to talk about the bit about
myself into this mindset, and
1:11
why I like front-end development, and
what I'm talking about in this system.
1:14
And then continue talking about
how to achieve your motivation and
1:19
how to sharpen your technical skills.
1:23
And some tips as a front end developer and
the final words.
1:25
And here we go.
1:32
So hi again, greetings from Munich.
1:34
So I'm living in Munich and
working as a front end developer.
1:36
And this year and my wife started to
talk shitting and I also enjoy sharing.
1:43
Our daily life videos and travel
videos on our YouTube channel called
1:49
decisive life and wreck these three
things are my current activities.
1:54
And originally I'm Japanese.
2:02
So I'd like to take you
a bit more about myself.
2:04
And here, I was born in Samthama,
and after high school,
2:09
I went to Niigata Prefecture
here in the right place.
2:13
And there I studied mechanical engineering
for my bachelor and master degree.
2:17
And during my study,
I met my future wife, she is German.
2:23
And that's why I decided
to come to Germany Munich.
2:28
And also I studied like
mechanical engineering.
2:32
I was also interested in PR and
storytelling fields.
2:37
So, first three and a half years,
I worked as a consultant in that field.
2:42
Mainly supporting Japanese companies and
2:48
suppliers being like European market and
will be supported.
2:51
And last year I quit my job.
2:56
And that's not why I started non front
end developer, front end development.
2:59
And eventually, and fortunately,
3:04
this September I have a job offer from
a FinTech startup for the better from.
3:07
So it's been three months
as a front end developer.
3:13
And so
why I decided to not open development.
3:18
Actually, I have a small workshop
with my wife after I quit my
3:23
job in order to find out
what I really liked doing.
3:28
And during the workshop,
we found out that I like coding,
3:33
and I also like being creative.
3:38
And I also like convincing
storytelling making
3:41
something that can impress other people.
3:45
And we combine like the three C's.
3:49
And we found out that front end
development has those three aspects that
3:52
I'm passionate about.
3:57
So, with front end development, I can
write coding, I really think it's cool.
4:00
And I can also be creative.
4:07
And I can also make a web application or
portfolio website for
4:10
example, in a way that
attracts other people.
4:14
So, yeah, that's why I decided to
run front-end web development.
4:18
And in this system,
I think some of you are now interested
4:24
in tech to improve your existing skills.
4:29
And some of you are now
seeking to transition your,
4:33
army from non tech carrier to carrier.
4:37
And for both of you,
I think it's really important.
4:41
Important thing is the continuity.
4:45
To improve your skills, improve
your experiences just step by step.
4:48
And for discontinuity,
you have to keep your motivation and
4:54
that's why I chose this topic
how to keep your motivation.
4:57
And after that,
5:02
I'd like to give you how to sharpen your
technical skills from my experience.
5:03
So let's go through how
to achieve a motivation.
5:10
There are four steps.
5:13
And the first is to have clear goals and
5:15
keep your goal in your
mind in daily basis.
5:18
So this is what I have done actually when
I started running front end development.
5:23
So I cooked like my goals and
5:29
some projects that I'm interesting when
I talk point and I printed this out.
5:31
And I put this paper in the photo frame
and I hung it on the wall of my bedroom.
5:38
So every time when I go to
bedroom when I wake up,
5:44
I could already see
this like vision board.
5:48
And I could be cautious about boards and
actually theodoric study.
5:52
How about the business study, they found
out those who write their goals down and
5:57
are conscious about them are much
more I agree to accept them.
6:03
So, I think this is a good first step that
you have to think about your goals and
6:08
try to find a way that you can be
reminded of your goals in a daily basis.
6:14
And after you have a goal, you should try
to take it step by step and visualize it.
6:22
So, for example, if your goal is to run
the new tech job, it's really difficult,
6:28
like, you don't know how you're done and
it could be really long.
6:34
So it's really this satisfaction.
6:40
So you try to break your
goals into small pieces.
6:44
And like for example, on the tree
house course, there are nine projects.
6:49
So you can make like two or three weeks or
your finished project one and
6:55
the next two or three weeks,
you will have finished project two.
7:00
And in this way, you can also like
see how much you have done within
7:04
back to our civics and
you could also see a progress.
7:08
So try to write down all the skills or
actions you have to take and then some and
7:13
when like when to achieve each step.
7:18
And this is like what I have done,
like in addition to like writing goals.
7:22
I also like tracking my time.
7:27
How much I spend on what?
7:30
And this is an example of the time that
I spend for three hostic degree and
7:32
I could finish tech degree for
about 300 hours.
7:38
And in this way, you could also
conscious before I study quantum
7:44
development in Treehouse,
I always start the app.
7:48
Rocking up.
7:53
So I couldn't be really
conscious about it right now,
7:54
like from technically coast time, so
it could be really changing my mind from
7:57
relaxing mode to be like
really studying mode.
8:02
And also I also like seeing
the bar gets longer, so
8:06
I can see how much I have done So
this was working for me.
8:11
So you can also think about Red Frog
that makes sense to visualize,
8:16
to keep you motivated.
8:21
And then after that, reflect on four
bucks and build healthy habits.
8:25
So, of course is your wreck studying and
8:32
there must be some fallback moments
when you don't wanna study or
8:35
if you are really demotivated,
which is totally fine.
8:40
But for that moment, I think it's
really important that you try to
8:46
find out like why you are demotivated.
8:51
And just tried to find
out the reason behind it.
8:54
So for example, in my case,
when I couldn't see my progress,
8:58
I didn't be motivated when I study alone,
or when I get stuck too long.
9:03
So that's why I started like
trying to visualise my progress.
9:09
We're talking my time.
9:13
So it is important to reflect
on your fallback moments.
9:15
And issue.
9:20
Like if you're extending along and
you get demotivated,
9:21
why you couldn't keep your motivation.
9:24
Then find your study buddy, for example,
and on treehouse tech degree course.
9:27
I really like that.
9:33
Many students or
teachers mentors from treehouse,
9:35
they are available on
treehouse a slack channel.
9:38
So I could always ask some questions
issued to them and Vic the answer and
9:42
give me some feedback.
9:47
And also I was really fortunate to have
been able to have a friend of mine.
9:49
Who was also in the same situation?
9:55
And I asked him if he want to join.
9:58
Free house and he joined us.
10:00
So we could study calmly and get together.
10:02
So it was really helpful to me too.
10:07
And about like healthy routine, so
this is I don't remember exactly when
10:11
I started this but every day when I
wake up, I write down my today's goal.
10:16
And during the day, if you have any
questions or if you have any issues,
10:23
then you try to write down,
I try write down my questions.
10:27
And before I go to sleep,
I always give the points for
10:32
the today,
like how many points of the day out of 10.
10:36
And I think about what was good and what
was not good and what could be interrupt.
10:42
And about questions,
once professor in my master degree,
10:48
she told me once that if you have any
questions, you should solve the question.
10:53
That you should at least look up
the question on that day that you get.
11:00
Don't bring the questions to the next
day because you will forget eventually.
11:08
And I often had that moments or
situation where I think, yeah,
11:12
I can just look up Google later.
11:16
And I even forget that question.
11:19
So this is also related to
how to sharpen your skills.
11:22
So just write down questions.
11:26
And before I go to bed,
I just go through that like I
11:28
just created those questions and
think about today.
11:32
And create it to balance the environment.
11:37
So relaxing is also essential
that don't beat yourself up
11:41
probably more like studying too long.
11:46
And in our experience timeframe,
11:49
it's totally fine to get relaxed and
take a rest.
11:52
Your brain also needs to process
about what you have learned.
11:55
And here are some examples
that I have done is that I
12:00
like going hiking and it's also nice.
12:05
Sometime you can change your workplace.
12:08
And in Germany, actually this is like
one of my surprise when I came to
12:13
Germany that you can find table
tennis tables in the park.
12:18
And there is a huge parking
nearby our apartment.
12:23
So I and my wife then go there and
play tennis for our refreshment.
12:26
And some feel like those kinds
of balance the environment.
12:32
I didn't have to have this
like motivation wave but
12:37
I could be stable and
focused for the long time.
12:42
And I think this is also important
that you try to find a balance
12:47
between your study and
something refreshment.
12:52
And make your workplace attractive,
12:56
it isn't always the one of
the important factors for me at least.
12:59
And I don't know if you find
this workplace attractive.
13:05
But at least this is attractive to me and
this is my workplace.
13:09
And before in the past, I studied my
content development in the kitchen
13:14
within the table while my wife was
watching on the other side of the table.
13:20
And she was sometimes having a call, and
sometimes cooking machine was running,
13:27
and sometimes it's just noisy and
it was really not motivating to me.
13:32
So I invested and
get height adjustable table.
13:38
And got the monitor for coding and
just the solitude in the living room,
13:42
I can be alone and can be focused.
13:48
So now this workplace is really
attractive to me I think and
13:51
I'm looking forward to being there.
13:56
So these attractive factors could be
really different and maybe you like
13:59
having a really good headphones while you
want to put some stuff around your desk.
14:04
So just reflect on this and
14:11
create an environment where you
intervene or even look forward to.
14:13
So that's a summary of how
to keep your motivation.
14:18
So first, you start by defining the goal.
14:25
And then you break down those
goals into clear steps and
14:30
try to visualize it so
that you can see the progress and
14:33
how much you spend well like
how much you have done.
14:37
And then find the positive
triggers like study buddy or
14:42
nice environment or workplace.
14:47
And then in the end, identify and
remove negative triggers like fallbacks.
14:50
By doing so, I think you can keep your
motivation and get across up to the goal.
14:56
So this is how to keep your motivation.
15:04
And now I would like to talk how
to sharpen technical skills.
15:08
And there are five things that
[COUGH] I think it's important is
15:14
that investment in your
skills pays the best return.
15:19
Actually I learned this way
of mindset early in my life.
15:24
It was from my parents.
15:30
So my parents often
talked about this stuff.
15:32
And when I wanted a book or when I wanted
to try new experiences, gain new skills,
15:36
they could buy book for me and
they could let me try new things.
15:43
But when I wanted a toy for example,
Playstation one like Nintendo games,
15:48
they said to me that I should wait
until the birthday or Christmas.
15:56
Because they knew that investing my skills
is the best return for the long term.
16:03
And I'm now adult and
I believe that's true.
16:09
And of course when I get older,
I also have many distractions and
16:13
like going out to restaurants,
I was like meet up with friends and
16:19
also travelling around
the world seeing new stuff,
16:24
new experiences, which is totally great.
16:28
But here also you have to find the balance
between leisure activities and
16:32
the time that you spend for yourself.
16:38
So, actually there's
a good saying about this.
16:41
Don't use your weekends to escape
life where you dread Mondays.
16:47
Use them to create
the life you want to live.
16:51
It's a such a privilege to learn and
grow your mind.
16:54
So, just don't hesitate to best invest
in your marriage and experience.
16:57
[COUGH] And
mix your way of learning things.
17:03
So I started learning front end web
development on Treehouse first,
17:08
and after a while,
I also take some courses on Udemy and
17:14
I also watched some videos
from YouTube for example.
17:19
And by repeating the same topics,
17:24
I could actually there are two good
things about this that I found.
17:27
The fast thing is that you could repeat
the same topics in the different
17:34
resources, so you can deepen your
knowledge or your technical skills.
17:39
But at the same time at the second point,
you could also widen your way
17:45
about projects because even
similar topics they say, but
17:50
they sometimes show different
approaches to solve the same issues.
17:54
So you could also while deepening your
knowledge about the front end web
17:59
development, I could also widen my
approaches how to solve these issues.
18:04
So I really like this way of learning and
also could see different resources
18:10
like kids could be fitting for
me more than those kinds of stuff.
18:17
And get a mentor.
18:22
I think having a sensei,
having your teacher is really important.
18:24
So if you get stuck too long and
you might be demotivated and
18:30
if you have Sensei,
you can ask them a question and
18:36
you can get the answer from him.
18:41
And this is actually
like one of my criteria.
18:44
When I looked for
an online learning platform, and
18:48
I found that Treehouse particularly that
you can ask Chris Jones to mentor or
18:53
engineers on Slack channel and
I really liked it.
19:00
And also here important
thing is that try to learn
19:05
your master's process
of solving the issues.
19:10
So not just get like instant answers.
19:14
You should write this whole thing if
you can solve this like you can solve
19:18
your issues, but then you should ask why
your sensei or mentor sort out this idea.
19:24
So try to find out how they
process in their mind.
19:31
And I think this will be really helpful,
a boost in your experience and skills
19:40
And find a project [COUGH]
that challenges you.
19:48
So of course online courses really
amazing way to learn new skills and
19:53
I really liked it.
19:56
You can learn on your pace.
19:58
But to me online course is really like
a linear that you have tasks, and
20:00
you have a goal .,and you
get the instructions.
20:05
But I think to improve your skills,
you should also try to find your
20:10
private project like a quiz game on making
to the rays or being authentification.
20:15
And by proactively,
trying to solve your project,
20:22
you have to really struggle here.
20:27
You don't know how to deliver it,
20:31
or you don't know how to
approach those project or issues.
20:33
And this kind of experience which I think
is very important to sharpen your skills,
20:38
so not only getting some
nuggets from online courses but
20:43
trying to find your project,
private project.
20:47
Enter the googles thing.
20:56
asking the questions is great.
20:59
But actually I am also feeling
that's googling is really working.
21:01
We are working life.
21:05
So for example, if you stuck,
if you get stuck like referring the hole,
21:07
and you can ask questions mentors
work student on extract channel,
21:13
saying you can get like answers easy.
21:18
Pusan can get out of the hole thanks
to the support of the friends.
21:22
But before asking questions,
you should try struggling by yourself.
21:27
And this struggle is really important and
it's really exhausting.
21:34
I know but before asking
questions you try to explore.
21:39
Find out the ways to implement the new
function or like some of your issues and
21:45
repeating by you're struggling,
I think your brains really trained and
21:51
you know like next time
when you have a new issue.
21:57
Do you know how to
approach those programs?
22:00
I think this is really important.
22:04
And some tips and some news from
right as a front end developer.
22:09
So I would like to tell you how to
make an impressive port for you.
22:15
So before I created my portfolio website,
22:22
actually this is a project
nine on technically course.
22:25
You have to make your
own portfolio website.
22:31
And you can also see my
portfolio website maybe for
22:34
my profit, but you can also take the CRM.
22:38
And yeah before I made
that in my portfolio,
22:42
I saw a lot on websites and thing.
22:47
I am, like I saw many websites
that are great, really stunning.
22:50
But the portfolios that I still
remember even now are the portfolios
22:59
showing who they are,
right, showing their faces.
23:04
So I also picked my face, narrow kind or
friendly way on my portfolio.
23:09
And because we are really social,
like social creatures and
23:17
we're really interested in other people.
23:21
So I think this is also important right?
23:23
After I select potential employers.
23:27
Remember yourself out of many
candidates I think you should
23:30
show like who you are in
the portfolio website.
23:35
And this is one thing that
I heard from my employers,
23:39
that it was great idea to fit my project
and that I have done the theory course.
23:44
So they could also see my
what they have done and
23:51
they could also see my code,
so these segments.
23:55
I think of at least what I found,
like attractive while investing.
24:00
So we've got a number of websites and then
find which element impresses yourself!
24:07
So you can see many websites and
if you find something interesting or
24:13
impressive then you should try
to dive into your portfolio.
24:18
And what you should keep in mind,
actually,
24:27
this is like advice for
most from the beginning levels.
24:31
That's your act too code example and
fits using it more clear and
24:37
I think this is kind of
really simple questions.
24:42
And actually this is also what I'm still
struggling with that I have to write code,
24:47
that other people,
other team members also can understand.
24:54
And when I studied from the in the web
development countries when, for
25:01
example, when I made my portfolio website.
25:06
I didn't have to see that how
other people understand my code,
25:09
because I was studying alone and
I was writing my code alone.
25:14
Consider that you may
be working in a team.
25:21
And before I think it's nicer before
you have exciting ways to write code,
25:24
but from the beginning,
you should keep this up how to
25:30
write code to be more clear
in mind from the beginning.
25:34
You don't have to change record.
25:39
You don't have to,
[COUGH] fix your way of running later.
25:41
But you already have a habit
to write three or four pieces,
25:45
I think it is really important.
25:50
And the speaking moment of our team,
actually,
25:53
this is better from where
I'm working up now.
25:56
And FinTech startup, and
we are making data analytics platform for
26:01
professional investors.
26:05
And we are looking for
a front end developer.
26:08
Now is seven members.
26:11
And we are all from different countries.
26:13
We have different culture and
the best in Munich, Germany.
26:15
And the DC guys have found us.
26:21
Miss Arif co rents and Ty principio and
26:24
this is my Sensei, CTO from Spain.
26:28
So if you are interested in
this kind of opportunity,
26:32
please check our website or link in.
26:36
And then you could also
see job descriptions.
26:39
And if you're interested in it,
then please contact us.
26:42
So final words.
26:45
So don't forget city on next goal.
26:49
So I started working as
a developer since September.
26:53
So now it's been three years.
26:58
Three months, three, three months.
27:01
But I didn't have much time to
think about next goal, actually.
27:04
But here, this is kind of a message to
me as well that it's really important to
27:09
remind yourself of what you want
to become in a year or two years.
27:14
Even after you just start working.
27:18
And after you have just started working,
you're really excited and
27:20
you have a lot of things to do,
a lot of things to learn.
27:24
Like me.
27:29
And yeah, I feel like when I
start working like from 9am and
27:30
suddenly it's already like 6pm and
finish, then the next day 9am and
27:34
coding, then I finish 6pm,
which is feeling really good.
27:40
But you should take your time,
what do you wanna be?
27:45
Or how are you gonna develop your skills?
27:49
What is the next book?
27:52
So please take your time and just invite.
27:54
Take good time and
think about right next door.
27:57
And for next reason why you have to have
an extra one thing because persistence
28:03
makes perfect.
28:08
Sorry.
28:09
Persistence makes perfect
because there is no,
28:11
this is a case of luck.
28:17
Karate in Japanese.
28:20
And directory direct meaning
is like persistence gives
28:23
your power and
give you the right more skills.
28:28
And there is no shortcut for
achieving your boards.
28:33
So you need to keep
doing what you're doing.
28:37
No, no.
28:41
In the end, I want to say,
believe in yourself.
28:42
I also believe in myself.
28:45
And when I started running
front end web development,
28:48
I always thought that I could be a front
end developer and I believed in myself.
28:53
And there's nothing
that you are afraid of.
28:59
You have to be afraid of.
29:02
So just believe in yourself and
keep doing what you have to do.
29:04
Thank you for your time.
29:11
I hope you find this interesting.
29:13
Yeah.
29:17
So now questions right?
29:18
Okay, send, okay, what tools did you
use to track your time and progress?
29:22
So I'm using an app called Total-track.
29:29
Total-track is, am I right?
29:41
I'm using truck and gun more so
now coming to the house,
29:50
and I'm also using it for my work has been
like how much I spend on these tasks.
29:55
And I think the thing about this is also
you can see the [INAUDIBLE] your time.
30:03
Sometime you finish some like
a lot of tasks in an hour, or
30:08
sometimes you don't finish a lot.
30:13
And you can compare what
was the difference?
30:16
And you can see the negative [INAUDIBLE].
30:18
So that's why I like tracking my time.
30:24
Thank you, for the question.
30:28
How did you score yourself
on your books for
30:31
your website for
what are my abilities Section?
30:35
A sub estimated score to find the weight,
Was a good question.
30:39
[COUGH] however it's kind
of recommended to some.
30:48
Some of it, I still get saying
I picked up a bit higher and
30:55
actually, you're in love with my phone.
31:00
That's right,
this progress bar depends on the person
31:03
if you wanna show because it
really depends on the person,
31:09
like this bar means so what I did is.
31:16
I just wanted to show
like how much I believe
31:21
I can do most direct like
breakdowns of Christian but
31:26
some kind of can be estimated squat I.
31:32
And yet, in the end,
I just use it as my intuition.
31:36
This is not perfect, but
31:41
should it be better than this in
the back compared to other skills?
31:42
Conducted yourself.
31:48
What is the name of
the time tracking dragon?
31:50
I'm sorry.
31:52
I'm using toggle back.
31:53
For free, buy them from the house.
31:56
Thank you so much now for
the written presentation.
31:58
I'm glad to read it.
32:01
I want to ask you when is the right
time to apply for jobs, especially for
32:02
front end developer.
32:06
I think you can pray anytime you fill
you're ready or even if you're not ready.
32:12
I think you should if you're looking for
a job thing,
32:18
I think that's the right
time to start applying.
32:21
Because you can also learn a lot
from the interviews for example.
32:25
I have a good friend in
the interview yours.
32:30
Your salon like new stuff.
32:35
And when I.
32:37
Interviewed.
32:40
My first interview,
actually it was from recruiter.
32:40
And I didn't know about React or Angular.
32:45
And they asked me if I
knew React to Angular,
32:48
because they're client companies
are looking for somebody.
32:51
Who can also write react?
32:56
And they told me that I should
also RX study Rick have some basic
32:57
knowledge of react.
33:02
And I learned it from them.
33:04
Like I need some framework,
knowledge about them.
33:06
So if you are looking for
a front end web developer job,
33:10
then you should already I think,
start up Brian And
33:14
find the [INAUDIBLE] different companies.
33:21
I'd love to share about [INAUDIBLE].
33:27
What should someone consider before
making such a big [INAUDIBLE]?
33:31
[SOUND] I do not maybe of cause,
I have my girlfriend out at times that
33:39
I really wanted to read with together,
so this was really strong motivation.
33:45
And I think I really
like trying new stuff.
33:53
Customary.
33:58
Times a person who is very open to
new stuff, trying new stuff and
34:00
seeing some things that I've never seen.
34:04
And at the time I already
lived in Japan for
34:08
over 20 years and
I have no say ethical warning but
34:11
started moving to Germany
was really excited me.
34:16
So that's why I decided
to come to Germany.
34:21
And if you're excited
I think you should at
34:23
least have tried to find a way
to bring your new tech journey.
34:28
How did you find the time
to self care working?
34:38
So how did I find time?
34:45
So.
34:47
So I think, for
example using too much time tracking app,
34:50
I also, like relaxing so I can be relaxed.
34:57
Like this time now I can do whatever
I want because I decided that
35:01
it's time I can be relaxing.
35:05
I already picked calendars
like Tuesday and
35:07
Wednesday night watching but
Saturday night I have a free time.
35:11
So like these ones like mind motivation,
like in the in the week,
35:18
like you can also give some kind
of motivation every Saturday,
35:22
you're free or something like that.
35:27
So always I don't know try to
35:29
give you some kind of treat.
35:34
How did you what did you say
the difference between one foot but
35:39
did you see the difference between one
foot can meet their goals and progress.
35:43
The difference.
35:58
This is a difficult question.
36:00
I don't know, she never give ups.
36:03
I think you eventually achieve your goal.
36:08
So and I also have struggled.
36:11
So it's a really good thing to strive for.
36:14
And it's always the life is like
something you always learn.
36:16
So you struggle in the beginning or
until the end,
36:21
but you just have to keep continuing
doing what you have to do.
36:26
If you'd like to be house prepared, And
36:35
you feel like we have to get
funding the river, yes and
36:40
many mentors and
I also Treehouse oversold record for
36:45
the great opportunity because I didn't
know much about Trump and developer.
36:50
So I really appreciate that course.
36:59
And back students, it was really
my power to continue running.
37:03
So.
37:10
You saw a lot of different kinds
of records online platform.
37:12
And this was the right one fits me.
37:17
I like the user experiences,
user interface, and
37:20
the color what they
are using on the website.
37:23
How can people find the sensei mentor?
37:32
How can people find the sensor on so
when it looks for
37:37
for example, you might chase
when it looks one online course.
37:42
To learn front end development,
37:50
I looked for now a great online
platform that offers mentors and
37:53
say in the treehouse and
one of them so far in Slack channel.
37:57
If I have any issues that I can give some
question which is right on slack and
38:02
they could answer me.
38:08
And so, maybe you can also look up,
38:09
sensei mentor community or
38:14
if you are planning to take a course and
38:18
then you should find
a course including this.
38:23
Since a mentor exchange [FOREIGN] ..
38:29
Sure If you have any questions
you can always write to me.
38:37
Yeah.
38:42
What advise do you have for
38:43
folks who are looking to go.
38:48
I think we should get ready so
you should just go for it.
38:54
I think the age doesn't matter and
we shouldn't not the ring so
39:00
if you have,
like strong motivation that you wanna be
39:06
from the or
you wanna go into tech carrier.
39:11
Then you should try to,
like pursue your purpose or
39:15
pursue your motivation as your goal.
39:19
What those results besides treehouse,
did you use main on the course?
39:23
So I used to do the me.
39:28
I also used,
I also watch the videos from YouTube.
39:32
And I also avoid holding my interview.
39:38
I use the current I think there
are several platforms that you can
39:44
practice code.
39:49
Coding skills don't
practice JavaScript skills.
39:50
And they are us HackerRank, How much
you'll be up training was on the job?
39:54
I'm sorry.
40:03
Do you have any tips for
getting promoted as an engineer?
40:06
I wish I could give you some tips,
but I'm never, getting promoted yet.
40:12
But I, don't think up now.
40:19
I'm sorry.
40:27
But I think you have to show right,
Matthew.
40:28
How you are improved compared to
the past for example, one year before.
40:32
And then maybe this is also like writing
down, it also might be working that.
40:37
Like what's the difference between you
at the moment and the you one year ago.
40:43
So I think this is good material for
negotiating with your boss.
40:50
How much of your training was on the job?
40:56
How much of your training was on the job,
sorry.
41:04
How much training wS on the job?
41:11
I'm still training in my current job,
I'm sorry,
41:15
maybe I don't get this question correctly.
41:19
But I'm still in the training.
41:23
I'm working but, always learn new
stuff and always observing new skills.
41:25
What is your team
environment like at work?
41:32
Are others trying to sharpen
their skills as well?
41:36
>> Yeah, I think so.
41:41
Yeah I feel it.
41:42
And we are now seven members.
41:43
And for example.
41:46
[COUGH] We are really at home or
really friendly.
41:47
But because of this situation,
now only developers are going.
41:52
They are actually developers for
my company and
41:58
now developers are going to
the office only Monday, Tuesday.
42:02
And other team are coming to Wednesday,
and Thursday, and Friday.
42:06
So we can't meet up with all of us,
at the same time, at the moment.
42:13
But we often eat lunch together and
we have a great chat.
42:18
And in the morning, we have a standard
meeting at 10 AM every day,
42:24
where we talk about what we have done
yesterday and what we are doing today.
42:30
And if we have any questions,
we also help each other and
42:37
so I feel like we are really
encouraging ourselves.
42:42
What should I look for in a company when,
When they're applying to jobs?
42:48
What should you do look for [COUGH]
in the company when applying to jobs?
42:56
What should I look for
in the company when I'm applying to jobs?
43:05
I, What [COUGH] should I look for
43:18
in a company when applying to jobs?
43:23
I mean, maybe, Skills that are needed
43:28
technoligies, with the engineer
like what they're using.
43:33
And if those technologies fitting you.
43:39
And also work environment.
43:42
Cuz if you have to go travel a long
time then maybe you get motivated like
43:47
half a year later.
43:52
And also people and
if you have a chance to talk with them,
43:54
Maybe you should try aligning themselves,
like how they're working and
43:59
what they're making and
those kinds of stuff.
44:05
If you were being bilingual,
that's help you.
44:10
I think so because especially for
this and development field,
44:17
I think they are much more information
in English than information in Japanese.
44:23
And also this like,
when was training my English, and
44:30
to choose the Treehouse because
they offer the courses in English.
44:35
And I always wanted to use my English,
44:41
because in Germany when I go out,
I would speak in German sometimes.
44:44
And I didn't have much
opportunity to talk in English.
44:49
So yeah, I want to also improve my, so
I combined granting front end development,
44:55
also improving my English,
also listen to English.
45:02
[COUGH] What coding languages do you
know and are there any plans around?
45:08
The moment HTML, CSS, and JavaScript,
and we are using Angular for
45:15
itself as a front end and
back end, correct back end service.
45:21
We are using Firebase.
45:26
And so just for its demo, CSS,
JavaScript and Angular, I think.
45:29
And I also learned Python before but
at the rec, I also took like data science
45:34
course in the past before I started
running front end development.
45:40
But does not belong in, so
I can't say I really know Python.
45:46
And now I think my next level would
be from a full stack developer.
45:52
So I'm seeking to take some courses
at the back end in the beginning.
45:56
But I have to think about why are you
gonna be fronting up to the stack
46:00
developer and why?
46:05
What I can do with respective experts.
46:07
[COUGH] From Mario.
46:11
Is a sponsor of automation
training program?
46:14
Where do you see the bigger
industry in 10 years?
46:17
What are you doing
46:20
to prepare for it?
46:26
Ten years and what are you doing to.
46:36
This is a difficult question.
46:39
Yeah, I tried to be creative,
46:44
[LAUGH] I'm not sure if I
get this question correctly.
46:47
If it gets automation,
automatically you don't have to code.
46:53
I don't think so, but
I think you still have to code.
46:57
And then you should make difference maybe
in a different way or in a different view.
47:01
Where it maybe communicates some way or
it's created where you can also give.
47:06
So, you shouldn't be like just
writing code or coding, I think.
47:13
So I should also,
when I get some requests from, for
47:19
example designers or project managers.
47:22
You have to first think that if this
graphic design or could this function,
47:25
or this way of implementing,
this makes sense to you.
47:31
And try to get involved with other teams.
47:35
I think this is really helpful.
47:38
[COUGH] From Jesus.
47:40
How much time do you
allocate to coding a day?
47:45
Most amazing job.
47:49
Thanks a lot, I hope you get
the PlayStation 5 for Christmas.
47:50
[LAUGH] How much coding?
47:56
At the moment,
I always code everyday as a job.
47:59
So I spend eight hours a day and
48:05
so yeah and after work?
48:10
Sometime I also like to continue working
or sometime I also watch other videos.
48:15
But mainly after work I now edit my
videos for YouTube channel or something.
48:22
So like seven,
eight hours on a daily basis now.
48:29
At what point do you feel
confident in putting a?
48:36
What is the point that you are like,
yes, I can do this,
48:40
and I can earn money with this?
48:45
By the way, very useful information.
48:48
Thanks a lot.
48:51
What point?
48:53
Actually I think I didn't
have that kind of confident.
48:55
I really can do it.
49:00
But I try to believe myself
that I can really do it.
49:01
Because otherwise I think
the universe that I'm
49:05
trying a job right you'll never
get the step in the real world.
49:09
And I think in the real world, you can be
easily trained or get better experiences.
49:14
So I just wasn't afraid
of putting my scare.
49:22
And if they ask some
questions that I don't know,
49:27
then I feel like this is
something that I didn't know.
49:31
I learned it.
49:37
So you don't have to be afraid
of your schedule of languages.
49:38
If they ask and if you don't know then
you're lucky after, you learn something.
49:43
How long was it only three before
you've heard you have a good grasp on?
49:50
How long was it?
49:58
Finished?
50:03
Before you said do you have a good grasp?
50:06
I didn't study much before.
50:09
Because I started planning front end
development on Treehouse at first.
50:13
So, it just made me some
arrows to just do it for
50:21
now online platform that fits me.
50:26
Yeah, thanks a lot.
50:31
Yeah, I hope you enjoyed it or you got
some insights from me and have a nice day.
50:33
