Today we are going to talk about two different but relatable topics, when it comes to being a productive software developer.

So, the first topic we are going to address is the drinking coffee problem. I know a lot of developers have trouble when it comes to drinking coffee. Most people use coffee as a crutch to get energy during the day.

According to Body Ecology, "Research is finding that one reason so many people are addicted to coffee, is that they may be deficient in dopamine."
"However, while this research may give people the license to drink more coffee, it is misleading. This is because the coffee itself may then lead to an increase in the root of the depression by further taxing your system, creating more stress, and damaging the delicate pH of your stomach."
(Source: http://bodyecology.com/articles/are-you-using-coffee-as-a-crutch-for-happiness)

So, how is your relation with coffee and how does it affect your overall performance?

Besides that, we're also going to talk about the famous argument "I don't have enough time". Do you really don't have time or are you "mis-managing" everything? Watch this video and find out!

JavaScript... Well, we can't deny that this is probably one of the most (if not the most) popular programming language. Whether it is among software developer or if we are talking about market demands, JavaScript is definitely a big name.

However, we also can't deny that things change. And everything changes, especially when it comes to technology.

I've tried to predict it a few times and I've failed.

But we always question ourselves about the future. And today we are going to talk about the future of JavaScript. What do I believe will be the future of Java? Will it still have force in 10 years from now?

If you're still eating right and exercising but can't seem to lose any more weight, you might have hit a weight loss plateau. It's normal for weight loss to stall after a while. This is not necessarily an indication that you're doing something wrong. It might just be that you need to adjust your weight loss plan to account for the changes in your body and metabolism.

In today's episode, I received a question from a reader saying that he can't drop any more pounds.

He says that he have lost a lot of weight when he started out but he seems to have seen this rate decline at a very rapid rate. Now, he is not able to drop any more pounds.

So, what should he do in this situation? How can he overcome this weight loss plateau? Watch this video and find out!

Today we are going to talk a little bit more about fitness. In today's video I have received two questions. The first was regarding Vitamin D deficiency and the second one about extreme workouts.
 
Although they are not discussed as much as they should be, they are two really important topics that we need to talk about.
 
Vitamin D deficiency is becoming more and more frequent nowadays, especially due to the lifestyle we are adopting.
 
Extreme workouts are also becoming more frequent, due to the rise of the crossfit modality and, in fact, it can cause you more harm than you've imagined.
 
So, wanna know more about these two topics? Watch this video and find out!

How Do I Know That I Can Trust The Process?
 
If you watch my channel regularly you've probably heard me talking a lot about trusting the process right? 
 
I've made one video talking about "The Secret Of Life", in which I believe is trusting the process. Trusting the process is something that we all should do. Trusting the process means giving something a shot until you complete what I call "the process". This means that you will not give up until you get your results.
 
People are usually a little bit skeptical about this. Some think this is bullshit and tell me that you need to keep adjusting till you see results. Other fear that they might have picked up the wrong process and, so, they end up abandoning it in the middle of the road.
 
So, how do you know that you can trust the process? What will give you security that you can stay on this road and will not give up?

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you decide that you want to build muscles and become fit? Going to the gym, lifting weights, hard work, right?

Yeah, me too. This is definitely the first thing that comes to my mind and this is something we can't even say the contrary. Muscles come with lots of hard work, stress, injury, stimuli, etc.

However, is it possible to build muscles without hard work? Today I have received a question from a reader asking me if it was possible to build muscles without hard work.

He tells me that he is a software developer and he does not have time for all the fitness schedule involved with building muscle. So, he asks me if he could build muscles with "passive involvement". What do you say?

I think everyone has dealt with passive aggressive coworkers at least once during their lives.

According to Business Insider, here are some tips that might help you realize that you're dealing with a passive aggressive coworker:

-They're constantly leaving snippy notes
- They procrastinate when you ask them to do something
- They're constantly griping to you
- They're masters of the office rumor mill
- They shoot down everything
- They deal out backhanded compliments
- They're envious of your success
- They undermine you
- They love office drama
(Source: http://www.businessinsider.com/signs-you-have-a-passive-aggressive-coworker-2016-8/#they-love-office-drama-9)

So, how do you deal with those passive-aggressive coworkers? Is there something you could do to cut down the bad effects that these people have in your life?

A lot of you guys have been asking me this question. "John, can you tell us a little bit more about competitive programming? What is competitive programming? Is it a good choice?"

Well, the questions are endless. And I've decided to do a video talking more about this topic, trying to sum up everything in here.

So, first of all we need to understand what is competitive programming.

According to Wikipedia, "Competitive programming is a mind sport usually held on the Internet or a local network, involving participants trying to program according to provided specifications. Contestants are referred to as sports programmers. Competitive programming is recognized and supported by several multinational software and Internet companies, such as Google, Facebook, and IBM. There are several organizations who host programming competitions on a regular basis.

A programming competition generally involves the host presenting a set of logical or mathematical problems to the contestants (who can vary in number from tens to several thousand), and contestants are required to write computer programs capable of solving each problem. Judging is based mostly upon number of problems solved and time spent for writing successful solutions, but may also include other factors (quality of output produced, execution time, program size, etc.)"
(Read more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Competitive_programming)

So, what is the real purpose in enrolling at one of these competitive programming championships? Will it do any benefits to your career?

Recently, I started a 99 Design contest so that I could get a SP T-Shirt designed for me. Everything went smoothly, and I don't have anything to complain about that.

However, at the same time, I have received an email from a company asking if I was interested in knowing more about quotes for printing and shipping those T-Shirts, something that I've not started to worry about yet.

I thought: Wow... What a coincidence, right? Yeah... You're right. What a coincidence. Then, I realized what was really behind all of this.

And this is exactly what I wanted to address in this video. How you need to think outside the box if you really want to get a job and how it can positively impact your career.

Coding can be hard and take a lot of time. Building a product, software or app from scratch is definitely a very hard task and it takes a LOT of time. You need to get through all the process of writing the code, imagining the structure, debugging, etc.

Of course, this isn't a problem if you were hired to do this. However, this can turn out to be a real pain in the ass if you're an entrepreneur or manager of any kind.

In these positions, you need to understand that it is not your job to do coding anymore but to manage and make money. So, what should you do in these cases?

What tools should you use to minimize coding efforts in order to focus on what really matters?

Working for a company means not only knowing and understanding the technical side. More and more, companies are searching for employees that know their stuff, not only technically but also socially. And this is what I call soft skills.

Soft skills is a synonym for "people skills." The term describes those personal attributes that indicate a high level of emotional intelligence. Unlike hard skills, which describe a person's technical skill set and ability to perform specific tasks, soft skills are broadly applicable across job titles and industries. It's often said that hard skills will get you an interview but you need soft skills to get -- and keep -- the job.

In this email, I receive a question from an employer saying that his employee lacked soft skills. He was an awful person to work with and this was making the process of working with him undoable.

What should he do in this case? Watch this video and find out!

Java is definitely one of the most popular languages of all time. Practically, everyone knows Java, even people that are not programmers or developers.

According to Statistic Times, when it comes to programming languages popularity, "Java is the most widely popular programming language in both Index (PYPL and TIOBE). Java has a 23.6 percent and 18.24 percent developer share in PYPL and TIOBE Index, respectively. Java is taking lead by 10.3 percent and 7.28 percent in PYPL and TIOBE Index, respectively in the global ranking. In India, Java is ahead by 6.5%. But in the US, Java is ahead by only 2.4%. The share of Java has decreased compare to the year before in both indexes. In India, the share of Java is declined by more than 10%."
(Source: http://statisticstimes.com/tech/top-computer-languages.php)

Said that, it is understandable that people would like to know Java and I believe it is one of the most accessible languages to start learning if you don't know where to start.

In this video I will show you the Top 10 Java Books every developer should read if you want to start learning Java right away. These books could definitely help you in your journey of learning Java and will boost your confidence when coding, providing real world examples and problems.

Have you ever been in that position? You want to quit your job and suddenly you receive an unexpected offer that makes you doubt yourself.

In today's video, I have received a question from a reader saying that he wanted to quit his job but his boss just offered to pay for his education. He thinks it would be a good option to stay since it would be a less expensive route for him.

On the other hand, he also feels like this is going to take up a lot of his time since he does not see a future for traditional education and he does not want to go this route.

So, what should he do? Should he stick to his job or quit, even though the offer seems compelling? Watch this video and find out!

So, recently I was reading my YouTube comments and I have gone through some real bad stuff about myself.

If you know me, you know that I usually don't like to give haters the attention that they want so much. I think it is not worth to spend my precious time answering haters.

However, one comment really pissed me off, which was a comment saying that I'm not qualified to do what I'm doing... Wait... WHAT?

Who are you to tell me this? Who do you think you are to say that I'm not qualified to do whatever you think I'm not qualified for?

A lot of software developers struggle with pricing your services. During all this time on the software development field, I have seen a lot of programmers undercharging for their services, which leads to a lot of frustration in their careers.

So, today I've partnered up with an amazing amazing professional. In today's #hoa I will talk with Perry Marshall, the author of "Evolution 2.0", an amazing book which I had the honor to read.

Nowadays, Perry Marshall works as an internet marketer, being an expert in FB Ads, Google Adwords, etc. However, our talk will round more around the evolutional side of our world. Yeah... You can bet that this will be an amazing talk about the evolution process of our world where we often link our learnings to the software development field.

If you don't know Perry Marshall, here is a quick text about all that he was able to accomplish:
"Perry Marshall is one of the world’s most expensive and sought-after business consultants. Clients seek his ability to integrate engineering, sales, art and psychology.

He launched two movements in modern marketing. His Google AdWords books laid the foundations for the $100 billion Pay Per Click industry, and techniques he pioneered are standard best practices. He wrote the world’s best selling book on web advertising, Ultimate Guide to Google AdWords.

More recently, he’s turned “80/20” into a verb. 80/20 is not just a fact about your business, it’s action you take on your business. 80/20 is the central lever for every great strategy. His book 80/20 Sales & Marketing is mandatory in many growing companies.

Works also include bestseller Ultimate Guide to Facebook Advertising (Entrepreneur Press, 2nd Edition 2014), Evolution 2.0: Breaking the Deadlock Between Darwin and Design (BenBella, 2015) and Industrial Ethernet (ISA, 3rd Edition 2016).

He is referenced in dozens of influential business books by authors like Jay Conrad Levinson, Mark Joyner, Joel Comm and Mari Smith. He’s shared the stage with Barbara Corcoran, Brian Tracy and Les Brown, having consulted in over 300 industries.

In 2015 he launched the Evolution 2.0 Prize, which seeks to solve Origin of Information, one of the great unsolved problems of biology."

Software developers need to stay up with the latest technologies available out there. There are new technologies coming up every day, new programming languages being presented to the world, old stuffing getting down, new ones coming up, etc.

Staying up with all that stuff is difficult. Where should you be searching for all these information? Books get outdated very quickly, websites are hard to keep if you don't have time to sit down and read, etc.

This is why I decided to create this video with my Top 10 Developer Podcasts you should be definitely be listening to.

There are some developers that work as contractors. Some of them are also freelancers and most of them use sites like UpWork, Freelancer.com to get their jobs.

On these websites, clients hire the most skilled applicants to get the job and, after that, they don't see anything anymore. It is time for the hired freelancer to do the job.

However, what some developers do, is that they hire a third person, especially a cheaper one, to do the coding for them. Wait, what? Yes, this is exactly what you have heard.

They are hired to do the job but they're not the ones who do it. It is often a third person hired by them.

Is this an ethic option? Can you hire someone to do the coding for you?
