What if you believed that becoming a great developer is totally within your grasp?
Becoming a self-taught developer is hard AF!
Doing this without proper guidance is even harder.
Have you gone through countless tutorials, courses, or even a bootcamp, but still can’t put an app together by yourself?
Gave up multiple times feeling like your brain just isn’t built for this?
Copy-pasted a bunch of code from StackOverflow, but don’t fully understand it, and how to debug it? Let alone, explain it under pressure in a job interview?
You want to learn the right way, not to waste time and get a job or lunch your product ASAP.
But the biggest challenges have nothing to do with the learning material.
They are deep internal struggles:
- Unable to keep the habit of learning on your own, procrastinating.
- Unable to write code by yourself from scratch, feeling like you can’t retain knowledge. Bought 3 different Udemy courses and still couldn’t write that app that YOU wanted?
- Not having somebody to consult with when you are stuck, or to keep you accountable.
- Feeling stressed, stupid or incapable.
- Having the “imposter syndrome”.
- Not knowing if the tech choices you are making are the right ones, leading to paralysis (also known as “decision fatigue”).
- Giving up (or procrastinating) when not knowing where to look for solutions.
If this feels painfully familiar you should know that you are not alone.
You are not lazy, stupid or incapable!
And there is nothing wrong with your brain.
This is not your fault and you can overcome this!
What I believe about learning is that it a built-in ability that we have from the moment we are born.
All it requires is curiosity, passion and the rest just follows.
The fault is with our educations system and work environment.
For most of us, learning has been a traumatic experience
Today’s schools make sure that by the time we graduate, every ounce of joy coming from natural curiosity is sucked dry out of us.
Being shamed by teachers or even parents for not being able to learn properly, when they are the ones that should be helping us to.
This is how we start expect completely unrealistic things from ourselves.
Instead of playing and exploring, we worry and think that we are incapable.
So how do we fix that?
With the Code For Humans one-on-one mentorship program for driven developers!
Become a top-tier dev, the HUMAN way ❤️
No 10x, unicorns & ninjas BS.
Unlock your potential through focus & mindfulness.
Only in Code For Humans mentorship program you will:
- Learn how to properly learn using methods backed by modern neuroscience.
- Keep a 20/80 ratio of theory/doing. No more tutorial binging. Real learning happens only when you DO.
- Get one-on-one support with all of your questions and struggles.
- Learn how to recognize the internal resistance that makes you procrastinate or give up.
- Learn how to think like a programmer. Formulate the right questions and understand the step-by-step thinking that makes a good programmer.
- Get everything tailor-made for your pace and learning/working style. No more set-in-stone curriculum or class deadlines that put so much pressure on you that it actually impedes your learning.
The tools we will be using:
- Neuroscience-backed learning methods.
- Optimizing for time spent in focus.
- Mindfulness.
- Socratic questioning.
- Building confidence, through micro-habits and manageable expectations.
- Prioritizing and choosing the right learning resources.
- Minimalistic approach.
How does the program work?
The program is a process.
It is not measured by gaining a specific piece of knowledge, hours spent in front of videos, or solving a specific problem like most textbook learning do.
It is measured by your personal and gradual improvement in consistency, learning and problem-solving skills.
- We choose together a real-life app for you to work on.
- We build a curriculum based on your needs and interests. Review and adjust when necessary.
- You start working on your app and use the 20/80 approach of theory/work. I will provide all the needed learning materials but you will always be challenged to put the knowledge into practice and find the solutions you need.
- Doing so, many of the previously mentioned challenges will arise. This is the core of the monitorship: we will face them, talk about them, understand them, and find a way to move forward. Some problems can be technical, and some can be purely mental or emotional and we will address all of them. You will no longer feel alone and stuck, not knowing how to overcome the inner turmoil that a simple problem can create.
- You will have access to an exclusive Slack community.
I will be helping you to unfuck years of false beliefs about your skills and abilities.
Coding is NOT a talent but a skill that anyone can learn and master with the right approach and effort.
On the technical side, here is what we will work with:
CLIENT:
-
JavaScript & ES6: event handling, DOM manipulation, data structures and more.
-
JavaScript functional approach: return values, callback functions, promises and async calls, etc.
-
Modern CSS: flex, grid, animations and more.
-
React, using functional components and hooks.
-
Styling with React: Styled Components, Tailwind & Material UI.
-
React Router, Redux, and other react helper libraries.
-
Making API calls to different services.
SERVER:
-
Node.js & express.js server.
-
MongoDB & mongoose.
-
Creating your own API.
SHARED:
-
Axios for API calls between client and server.
-
App code organization.
-
Git, GitHub and AWS or Heroku for sharing and deploying your work.
However, most important of all is that the learning skills that you gain will allow you to learn countless more tools and skills.
And they are not even limited to the coding world!
You will be able to apply the same principles should you want to start playing the guitar, painting, or learning a new dance technique!
You’re one step away from changing your life!
Yes, this program is unorthodox, to say the least.
Yes, it’s confusing. Of COURSE it’s a little overwhelming. But it’s SUPPOSED to be challenging.
Learning doesn’t happen in front of YouTube.
However, if you are afraid this might not work for you, let me tell you this:
Coding is NOT a talent but a skill that anyone can learn and master with the right approach and effort.
You are handed a map to navigate towards being top-tier, will you take it?
Or will you get around to it “later” — and let the greatest opportunity fall away?
What a shame to stay stagnant. What a shame to let our dreams pass us by, and one day, realize our best years are behind us.
Now, if this program is genuinely not for you, I respect that.
But if it is — if you really want to be the best at what you do, and you know there’s something inside of you that you’ve been waiting to share with the world — it’s time to decide.
If you’re ready to invest in yourself, don’t wait for “someday.” Don’t wait for the magic day when you suddenly have time, or you are less afraid to try again.
You have the proof that my material works. You’ve seen results from men, women, international students, beginners, experienced entrepreneurs, and people just like you.
If not now, then when? If not this course, then is there anything that will really change your mind?
The decision is up to you.
A year from now, you’re going to be a year older.
Will you be living the life you want?
