Why it worked

The video resonates with viewers by offering relatable advice on career choices and the importance of passion. The creator's personal journey and candid sharing of their thought process, particularly the warning against 'demo' or 'FOMO' driven career decisions, likely struck a chord with a younger audience exploring career paths in tech.

Summary

The creator, a software engineer with 4-5 years of experience, shares their perspective on choosing a career path, emphasizing the importance of genuine passion over external influence. They recount their journey from Android and iOS development to learning backend development, highlighting that true motivation comes from loving the process itself, not just following trends or influencers. The video advises viewers to introspect and ensure they are truly passionate about programming before committing, as a lack of genuine interest can lead to a loss of motivation and success.

Halo. Engineer here yang udah bekerja kurang lebih 4 atau 5 tahun sebagai software engineer. Gue mau ngasih tahu aja, please jangan demo, Dek. Soalnya ketika lu ternyata enggak suka ngoding, masa motivasi lu. Oh, Agasa dulu sekarang dia udah enggak make any sense right. Gue kasih contoh deh. Awal karir gue setelah lulus gue itu Android engineer setahun. Terus iOS engineer kurang lebih sekarang masuk tahun keempat. And look at me now. gue sekarang lagi belajar back and development. Nih, sekarang. Gua sekarang lagi belajar not JS pakai kelasnya Mbak Mbak Angela di Udemi, lu bisa cari sendiri. Apakah ini tuntutan pekerjaan gue? No, pekerjaan gue di Tech company salah satu OTA di Indonesia itu cuma sekedar IO engineer. Jadi di luar IO development enggak ada kewajiban gue. Cuman kenapa gue belajar baikkan development? So simple because I love it. I love programming. Gue ada rasa penasaran, gue ada jiwa eksperimental, explore new technology. new text tag. Itulah yang membuat gue konsisten dunia programming sampai sekarang ya walaupun enggak tahu ya di masa depan. but my point is you have to love it. Enggak harus pakai cara gua yang belajar ke mana-mana. Cuman ini cuma salah satu contoh aja bahwa you have to love it. Karena kalau sampai panutan lu lu belajar ngoding dan panutan lu berhenti ngoding lu bakal kehilangan passion itu cuy. Karena dari awal emang fondasinya enggak ada. So ini bukan saran, bukan menghakimi lebih ke sharing pikiran aja karena gue enggak mau ngalamiin yang namanya sekarang. Soalnya programming itu bukan profesi yang bisa kamu sukses ketika lu setengah-setengah. You have to all in. I mean like all in. Ya gitulah pokoknya. Jadi please kalau memang lu tanya deh hati lu sendiri, lu balik dalam apa lu benar-benar suka programming atau enggak? Karena kalau ternyata lu cuma ikut-ikutan mending enggak usah sekalian serius. You're not gonna make a lot of pile of money jika lu cuma setengah-setengah. You have to all in, oke. Gue enggak ngelarang, gue enggak mengarahkan keputusan kembali ke diri lu sendiri cuma mindset lu suka sesuatu hanya gara-gara influencer juga melakukannya. I don't think how it works on you. I don't think how it works on him doesn't mean it works the same way to you. People have their own path, okay? It's your job to find your own path. It was never others. Oke. Si Bro. Lanjut belajarnya. Mantap.
