Action is definitely a key piece in getting stuff done and in advancing in your career. As a teacher that has created several courses before, I know how so many people just watch my stuff but never get anything into practice.

Action is the fine line between those who accomplish things and those who just dream about achieving something.

Today, I've partnered up with Sylvester Morgan, an awesome guy that definitely knows everything about taking action. He will share with us everything he has done and how his life has changed after he started to take action.

Some say the automobile industry is changing at a rapid pace and we're not aware of all the changes that are happening right now. When you stop and think about that, maybe we are in the middle of a tipping point.

For centuries, the automobile industry hasn't changed that much, especially when it comes to fuels. We are still relying on petroleum derivates to make our cars function.

So... What can we expect from electric cars? How will it affect the future? How will it affect the whole ecosystem for programmers?

Being a software developer is full of surprises. In one hand, you have the normal path to follow, which is to learn a new programming language so you can start writing your own code. You write everything from scratch, you build you own features, and you know everything you've built.

On the other hand, there is the real world, where you start working on a company and you have to deal with a company's environment. Let's say you go to a company and you have to deal with a pre-written code.

What do you do? How do you learn this pre-written code? How do you start studying this code so you know what you can change, what works and what doesn't?

Framing is a powerful weapon that few people know about. When it comes to human interaction, having the ability to frame things is definitely something you should be aware of.

The way you position yourself in relation to the other people is one of the most important things that can make people like you, do things you want them to do or persuade them.

In this video I'll explain a little bit more about framing and why you should start to pay attention to those things, especially if you want to become good at persuading.

As we al know, we are complete emotional beings. As much as we tend to believe that we live as rational animals, our entire wire in the brain is designed to show that we are ruled by our emotions.

That said, it is important to notice and understand how our emotions dictate the choices we make, day after day.

In this video, I'll show you why you shouldn't make important decisions when feeling down and how it can affect your life.

Gratefulness... Being grateful for everything. We hear that a lot, right? Especially nowadays with all the self-help gurus, yoga teachers on Instagram... This has become such a common thing to say and do, especially on social media.

I believe that saying all this stuff and not stopping to pay attention to the real meaning of it can be hurtful. We simply lose the real meaning and the powerful concept behind gratefulness.

So, what is gratefulness? How can we understand the concept behind it? Watch this video and find out!

A lot of developers ask me about the programming language of the future... They expect me to use my expertise to predict the future and tell them about the programming language of the future, hoping that they will start to specialize in such a language.

However, this questions leaves us with some other interpretations... Is that such a thing as a programming language of the future?

I strongly believe that there will be a programming language of the future but we don't know it yet. The reason I say that is because I think all programming languages are converging into a same spectrum of functionality, making it useless to have a lot of programming things doing the same stuff.

So, do you wanna know what is programming language of the future?

We need to talk about... Depression.

I've talked about this topic several times before, especially in SP's blog and a lot of guest writers have talked about this too.

Depression among developers (and tech professionals) is a serious thing and it should not be repressed. We really need to talk about that.

As you know, I have some strong and different views about this that a lot of people complain and tell me how I'm wrong. This is why I decided to talk to Maryse, which is a member of our FB group and has suffered a lot from it, but has managed to turn her life around.

How? This is exactly what we're going to discuss in this video.

Working abroad can be a tricky thing for those who don't have English as a native language.

I say that we have two ways we can follow in life which will lead us to two very different results in life: The positive things and the negative things.

Surrounding yourself with positive thoughts will definitely make your life change and you'll feel much better... However, what about the negative things?

Negative things can break you in ways you can even imagine, drowning your energy levels and making you a complete lazy towards your goals.

So... What do you do? How do you eliminate negative factors from your life?

Getting a new job is a tough process. There is a lot of preparation, research, energy spent on preparing yourself, time devoted to interviews, etc.

This is why you should focus all of your efforts into not screwing everything up.

Jim Rohn has one of the most amazing quotes I have ever seen and I often reuse this quote due to its geniality:

"You're The Average Of The Five People You Spend The Most Time With" - Jim Rohn

This sentence is awesome because it shows how the people surrounding us affects us tremendously. This is why you should start to pick and select the people you hang out with and start to talk and get yourself near the ones are more aligned with your principles and objectives in life.

Besides that, you shouldn't be wasting your time losers. Tough to say and to hear, right? But true...

Being productive is important and there is a whole industry built in order to tackle all these questions related to productivity.

One of the virtues of productivity is being able to to the most work that you can in the least amount of time possible. Time optimization is definitely a key element in this industry.

and one of the ways you can optimize your time is by batching things up.

However... How can you batch things up if you're feeling tired in the afternoon? Should you take some time to sleep? or would it be a waste of time?

A bot (short for "robot") is a program that operates as an agent for a user or another program or simulates a human activity. On the Internet, the most ubiquitous bots are the programs, also called spiders or crawlers, that access Web sites and gather their content for search engine indexes.
(Source: http://searchmicroservices.techtarget.com/definition/bot-robot)

I've received this question from a reader asking me about bots and what do I think about all this stuff.

I need to say that I've changed my opinion on this after reading the article that was in this email, that's why I decided to record this video and share my opinion on Bots.

It’s not too often that completely new roles are invented in the IT field, so the role of DevOps is both unique and a little, shall we say, loosely defined.

What exactly is DevOps?

Well, it’s a conglomeration or a mashup, if you will, of development and operations.

In my mind, I think MacGyver.

If you ask different people, you’ll get many answers, but for the most part, they’ll agree that DevOps is all about doing whatever needs to be done to get the code built, tested, deployed, and running in production.

It’s the multidisciplinary process of getting code from development to production and taking care of the code when it’s there.

Instead of having two or three separate roles that don’t know much about each other, and are arguably hostile and antagonistic at times, DevOps is about taking full ownership at every step along the way.

So... How do you become a DevOps? What is the process behind becoming a DevOps? Watch this video and find out!
