To-infinitive

And I think now more than ever is an appropriate time for me to talk about Programmer Burner, which has a lot to do with why I was development has kind of been missing from this channel.

The imperative

As I was editing this video kind of realized that I forgot something.

I forgot to integrate that Tomas is the one who kind of brought this to my attention.

I've been experiencing program burnout as well, and you'll see why, and I'll explain everything and tell you stories in this video.

But Tomas Santiago, mom a day not sure for pronounce your last name correctly if I didn't apologize kind of shared his experience of the comment on one my previous videos about his own programmer burnout.

And that really encouraged me to make this video because I've been going through the same thing recently, and I want to let everybody know that it's not uncommon you're not alone when it comes to program or burn out.

If you're feeling unmotivated, there's probably a reason not because you're not cut out to be a programmer, but because it's just it just happens.

It's simple is that it just happens to 99% of us, and I'm gonna put Tomas is coming up on the screen now.

So pause it if you want to read through that.

I basically told you the summary of it, how it's his programmer burnout story, and I'm gonna take it off the screen.

And now we're gonna get back to our regularly scheduled program.

It's really appropriate for me to talk about it right now, because these past, like, six months, essentially the past two semesters have been hectic, but the past, like two or three months, have been especially hectic this semester in school.

I'm currently working on two four hours Asleep is not enough sleep for anybody, which is why I need my coffee.

So, as I was saying this semester, I've been building two injured applications, one of which, being an augmented reality application, integrating tensorflow machine learning things of that nature.

I'll discuss more about it with you guys in the future, but right now I'm in a group of nine total people.

Maybe there's like seven or eight Now a few people didn't make it all go through the semester, but a big group developing this injured application.

Second Android application is a social media style application where I actually discussed in a previous video.

Well, I think I've told you about how we had four people in that group, and then it got narrowed down to two people because nobody in the group was doing anything except for me.

In that group of two, nobody was doing any of the work except for me, and I was really stressed out approaching like the midterm demo like, That's kind of what we had to do with Demo.

Our Midway application, basically, and I had to stay up like for two consecutive nights, maybe getting like a three hour nap somewhere in there and creating building like the rest of this application.

Whereas I thought my partner was going to kind of participate that that's kind of how we divided the skills.

But I wasn't hearing any communication, so I kind of expected that was going to do.

I actually asked my professor with the partner in the room to go so low.

So now what started off as a four person group ended up as a one person group, and that social media style at Pizza Topper is part of my mobile app development course.

We're learning Android development, and I'm also working on another assignment, which is the third assignment, where we essentially are creating a smaller application to kind of learn some of the basics within android development.

Essentially, the assignments are to focus on one thing or another, maybe a few things at once, and integrate it into like a little application.

Doesn't have to be fancy just has to get done and don't even get me started on CS 4 17 which is computational methods and software.

Essentially, I'm writing numerical algorithms and integrating those into the job our steeples bus applications well, not integrating.

I'm creating the applications surrounded, you know, based on these America algorithms, it's basically where linear algebra meets programming fun, right?

And I also have a theoretical computer science course where I'm not even gonna get into that.

Just know that if you're interested in pursuing a computer science degree.

A huge role, not just in the math classes.

I'll talk more about that in another video.

Actually want to make a video about kind of conquering math as a computer science student?

But we'll get to that probably in the next week or two.

If you're interested, anything like that.

And then that's only what's going on in school.

I'm also trying to, you know, do you tube induced a few other things like I'm setting up my Twitter account?

I've been, you know, getting my profile picture together, getting the panels together, getting my station over here, set up properly, already got on my WiFi and whatnot, our Internet set up.

And then I have look, look, a cool little mic stand back there and I have a Web came up there.

It's not facing out because I haven't been using it yet, so I don't really want it facing at me, you know, because hackers put over on twitch that TV slash forced night Lincoln down.

If you're interested, I'm doing Q and A videos while I play Fortnight, so a lot of people have asked me for Q and A videos.

That's gonna be the platform I also like today for diversifying, not just hold everything on YouTube, but also kind of girl following over onto which is, well, so give me fall over there.

I'm not only mentioning this to plug my twist channel, although I am plugging my twist channel mentioning this because all this has to do with programmer burnout.

It's just my specific case with all these programs and applications that I'm building in school along with, like I said, everything else that I have going on in my life, You know, everyone has everything a stuff going on in their life.

But that has really just burn me out from programming.

I haven't really been able to work on my own.

I was application except for a few days out of the month.

So, yes, it has been getting done, you know, a little bit along the way, but it's not as much as I'd like to.

That's because all of my programming time is allotted to Andhra Development or just anything with school, any school programming.

That's where my programming time is allotted I still want to have time to myself, and I still want to have time for y'all in order to make these YouTube videos.

And I've also been looking a bit more into programmer burnout per se.

And a lot of people have been saying like 4 to 5 years.

It's kind of the time where, let's say, in someone's career they kind of get burnt out with doing the same job over and over and over again.

Maybe you're working on different features, but that's kind of like where programmer burnout sets in.

And although I haven't been in the workforce for 4 to 5 years, I have been programming for 4 to 5 years.

That's when I started with all of this going on and me, you know, not being able to focus on one emphasis.

For example, I have to focus on android development, standalone Java development, see post post development python development, python with artificial intelligence and machine learning development than learning all the framers technologies around that.

What this does in our for back to Tomas is comment from earlier in the video.

You're so thin that it just burns you out.

It makes you not enjoy programming as much as you did.

You know, when you're getting into programming, you have all of these hopes and dreams.

And you think about one day create this application in this application.

Or maybe one day I'll go work at space sex or, you know, work for human must go over it, tests later, Solar city or wherever you really want to work, whether that's NASA or Facebook or Google, and then it just kind of diminishes and diminishes and diminishes.

And for me, I think that's really like computer science.

My school at this point in my career and my school career, that is it's really just burn me out and I'm completely over it just spread me too thin.

I mean, I understand that school is where you learn how to learn, and you need to essentially build a foundation.

Because if you learn this, this, this, this and that, you really learn how to learn a new language.

So you start off with job or you start off with C plus plus, and then you're able to learn job.

You're able to learn Python, and that's kind of like the idea behind school.

I mean, computer science isn't just programming is actually more so.

But you use programming to implement that computer theory.

If that makes sense, you know, in computer science program, I don't know if it does, but school is spreading me too thin.

You may be interested in Web development, and then when it's it's time to, you know, get over that hump once it gets, like, really to the difficult part, you're readyto get over that hump.

But you don't see that you're about to hop over that hump.

You switch over to Iowa's development or you switch over to Java programming or artificial intelligence programming, and then that keeps happening.

You learn the basics of that language of that framework of that technology, and then once you're about to essentially breakthrough, as they say, you switch, you switch, you switch, and you don't really find yourself being an expert or at least being able to complete a full program that you want to create on your own in a timely manner.

you're sitting there with the basics of what developed.
