This is my last blog post on DEV.TO on how to properly configure Git on your machine with GitHub for both Linux (Debian based) and Windows - Hopefully it will be useful to someone, somewhere. Link: dev.to/bekbrace/git-and-github-setup-for-linux-andā¦
Hey everyone, I want to be transparent with you. Lately, the channel hasnāt been getting much attentionāviews are low, and Iām barely making around $90 a month from it. Thatās not really sustainable, and honestly, it feels like people arenāt interested in the current direction anymore.
So Iām thinking of making a shift, and Iād really like your opinion before I decide. Here are some ideas Iām considering those options below.
Your feedback means a lotāthis community has always been the reason I kept going. Let me know what kind of content youād actually enjoy watching. Cheers - Amir
Anyone whoās seriously coded knows a hard truth about our modern programming culture: discipline is collapsing. Once, coders, interns, and engineers understood that mastery meant focus, persistence, and responsibility. A developer, even after hours of debugging, wrote clean code and tested it thoroughly; a junior respected the seniorās guidance; and a burnout coder, if he made mistakes, learned quietly and fixed themānot flaunt buggy pull requests as if chaos were cool. Discipline wasnāt optionalāit was freedom. Freedom to create without fear, to ship software that mattered.
Today, too many programmers mistake shortcuts, procrastination, and abandoned projects for āfreedom.ā Half-finished apps, messy commits, and ignored code reviews are flaunted proudly on GitHub. Learning paths are abandoned after a single frustration. Senior devs tolerate sloppy code, and teams collapse under missed deadlines. And young coders? They quit their first jobs, give up on their learning, or āmove on to something more interestingā at the slightest challenge.
Letās be practical: this stops progress. Your codebase, your skills, your careerāthey rot when you abandon discipline. If you want freedom in programming, you need structure. Hereās how:
Own your work ā Every commit, every function, every project is your responsibility. If itās messy, fix it. Donāt blame frameworks or teammates.
Finish what you start ā Even if itās small. Ship a feature, finish that app, complete the tutorial. Half-baked code is wasted effort.
Respect mentorship ā Listen to seniors, read code reviews carefully, and donāt just ādo your own thing.ā Growth comes from feedback.
Daily consistency beats rare bursts ā 1 hour of focused coding every day beats a weekend marathon. Discipline compounds.
Automate and document ā Tests, CI pipelines, READMEsāthese are shields against chaos. Use them.
If your code is messy, if your projects are abandoned, if you quit at the first challengeāyouāre not free, youāre enslaved to chaos. True liberty in programming comes from self-mastery, persistence, and respect for the craft.
So hereās the wake-up call: stop running from hard problems. Stop quitting when debugging gets painful. Stop letting bad habits and distractions define your career. Build habits, finish tasks, write clean code, and protect your learning path. Discipline isnāt a cageāitās the key to freedom.
TL;DR for coders: Freedom without discipline = chaos. Stop quitting. Own your work. Finish what you start. Respect mentorship. Automate. Build habits. True liberty in programming comes from mastering your craft, not avoiding its challenges.
Hello my friends š, I hope you're all doing well.
So, this post has one purpose which is to apologize for not being able to post any videos lately, and that is due to 2 different reasons: 1ļøā£ The studio where I am right now is exposed to loud noises from my neighbors who are renovating their flat šØ. 2ļøā£ I find it very difficult to record for long hours in extreme heat š„, especially that my studio is facing the north and I reside on the 9th floor, so you can imagine how hot it is right now.
But [there's a But, of course š] I promise to bring back useful tutorials emphasizing the beauty of C, š¦, and š. Linux command line utilities in C, Automation and GUI apps in Python, and network programming in Rust.
If you want me to cook something in particular , just drop it in the comments below š¬.
You're the best audience ever š, thank you so much for your support; I don't care about the Views count anymore ācause it all depends on YT algorithms which is unfair in most of the cases, the most important part for me is to have this great window on the world to share with you interesting applications and tools š”.
Stay chilled everyone āļø, programming is fun š», and I can't believe I'm doing that with all of you, guys. Thank you for reading this post, and I will see you soon.
