A lot of developers feel overwhelmed when it comes to creating and start their blogging career. most have a lot of different questions inside their heads and it couldn't be any different: the amount of information out there is out of this world. When it comes to blogging, things can get pretty difficult and confusing. You need to pick a topic, create a website, buy a domain, etc. Woah... A lot of stuff right? However, today we're going to talk about a specific topic: Should you create multiple blogs? A lot of developers want to create different blogs, with different themes, build a lot of different websites and so forth. They usually can't pick a specific theme to work on and they start wondering about creating different blogs so that they can cover everything they want to work. It does sound like a good idea, huh? Well... No, it doesn't. Wanna know more about why you shouldn't create more than one blog for you? Listen to this episode and find out! Visit: http://simpleprogrammer.com/ How To Market Yourself Co

Persuasion & Arguing A lot of people think that the best way to convince and persuade someone is by presenting logical arguments. The more logical the arguments are, the easiest it will be for someone to change sides and pick yours. Well, it doesn't always work like that and I'll tell you why. People are not rational beings but emotional beings. Despite we don't want to admit it, we don't make decisions based on logic, but on emotions. All of our decisions get into a path which we call the reptile brain before getting to the neocortex. This is why we make decisions based on emotions. We were not able to complete evolution and change this pattern. So, if you want to persuade someone, focus on presenting emotional elements. Wanna know more? Listen to this podcast and find out!

According to him, he has a coworker that does not do any job. He simply goes to the company, gets his money to sit there doing nothing. His boss knows everything but they won't do anything to change it. What should he do in a situation like that? How can he approach it?

However, in order to get stuff done, you first need to learn how to spend your time the right way, by focusing on things that matter and by establishing priorities in life.

Invest In Houses Or Condos? Real Estate investments can be tricky. You have a lot of options to choose and, the more you learn, the more you'll feel lost and overwhelmed. There is never a right or wrong answer when it comes to real estate investment. You'll first need to analyze every variable, before coming to a conclusion. So, in this case, what would be better? Invest in houses or condos? Both have very different approaches and can provide you very different results, especially when it comes to cash flow, expenses and the amount of money you make at the end. So, is there a right answer to this questions? Well, not so much. As with all real estate investments, it depends—on the particular property, location, market, and other factors, such as the annual return you expect on the investment, or cap rate.

Is It Ok If My Company Does Not Pay Me? When you get a job the first thing that comes to mind is the salary you'll receive, right? You start thinking about all the amazing things you'll be able to to with the money you'll get, what types of things you'll be able to buy, etc. But... What if your company does not pay you? Yeah, you heard it right... What if your company does not pay you and you're working for... FREE? In today's video, I received a question from a reader telling me that he is working for free. He started working for a startup that will sell some products in the future. However, his boss is telling him that he will not be paid until they start selling the product... That means that he is working for free. What should he do? What would YOU do in situations like this? Watch this video and find out!

Are Generalists Better Than Specialists? This is another podcast where I'll discuss the old-fashioned battle about whether you should become a specialist or not. I've done so many podcasts  about that topic that it is totally recommended that you check my playlist on "Specialization And Niching Down". So, in this podcast, I received a very interesting question. A reader from the blog asked me why I've contradicted myself in this topic. he said that I said, in some old podcast of mine, that you should be a generalist. Wait, what? How could that be possible? If you watch my channel, you've probably heard me talking about how important I think it is for someone to become a specialist, instead of a generalist. But... Did I really say that? Are generalists really better than specialists? Listen to this podcast

What Technologies Do I Need To Develop A Game? A lot of developers dream about game development. This is a hot topic and a lot of programmers want to become software developers so that they can develop games and work in the game development industry. While I've talked about game development before, whether it was the career or pros and cons, I've never talked about what you REALLY need to start developing games. So, I've received this question from a reader asking me about what he needed to start developing games. He talks about how technology has changed so much over time and how complex it is right now to develop games. How can just one person develop an entire 3d game? Directx? CUDA? How the hell? I talk in this video why right now may be the best time to develop games and why these technologies don't matter so much anymore.

Spend Your Time The Right Way In life, we all struggle to get our goals accomplished. Most of us end in a vicious looping that doesn't seem to do us justice and does not take us anywhere. On the other hand, there are people that seem to be utterly productive and they seem to achieve whatever they want. They set goals for themselves, create a proper plan and stick to this plan no matter what. So, what is the secret of these people? How can they be so productive? Well, there are many reasons for that, but definitely one of them is: "They know how to spend their time the right way". Time is the most democratic asset in the world. We all have 24 hours in a day and you're free to spend it the way you want. So, understanding how you can spend your time the right way and making those smart choices can definitely separate you from the rest of the world.

I Live With 3 Lazy Friends... How To Escape It? So, as a regular viewer of this (awesome) channel, you've probably heard me talking about setpoints. And one of these setpoints are the people that surround you. As Jim Rohn once said, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”. I've talked a lot about raising your setpoints by changing your social circle and by changing your friends and changing your life... However... What if you're in a situation where it is almost impossible to do that? in today's video I've received a question from a reader telling me that he lives with three other guys that are completely LAZY!

Can You Be A Programmer Without Learning Testing? In today's video, I'll talk about being a programmer without learning testing. I received a question from a newbie programming telling that older programmers were saying things like "But how can you possibly say you're a programmer if you don't know nothing about testing?" So, can you really become a programmer if you don't know testing? For some of you that might not know, Software testing is an investigation conducted to provide stakeholders with information about the quality of the product or service under test. Software testing can also provide an objective, independent view of the software to allow the business to appreciate and understand the risks of software implementation. So, should ALL software developers learn Q&A and testing? is it really necessary for your formation? Watch this video and find out!

How To Self-Publish A Book? A lot of people dream of writing a book. A few years ago, I would say that this was almost impossible. There were a lot of difficulties, you had to get a publishing company, they had to accept you, you had to have an audience for you to sell, etc. Too many things to think and to take care for just one person. Nowadays, things are much easier. There is a new modality called "self-publishing", in which you can publish your book without needing a publishing company to get everything done for you. However, this raises a lot of questions. "How can I self-publish a book?", "Where do I start looking for things?", "What will I need in order to self-publish my book?". Well, in this video I'll take you step-by-step in the process of self-publishing a book, showing that you can do that too. Watch this video to find out how to publish your own book.

Safe Job Or Risky Opportunity? In some part of our career, we experience this: We're at a very comfortable place, with a secure paycheck each month but, suddenly, we're offered with a risky job offer that will pay more, but may end up with nothing. This dualism in this choice leaves us with a lot of questions in our head: "Should I accept this offers? My salary will increase and I'll be able to invest more", or "I can't take this offer. It's risky and what if it doesn't work out? What am I going to do?". Let me tell you that this is not an easy choice to make. There is no right or wrong with this. However, there are some things you need to take into consideration before making your final decision? What would I do in this situation? Watch this video and find out!

How To Write Clean Code? As software developers, writing code is definitely a priority for us. Just like architects, whose task is to design beautiful and good looking buildings, our job is quite similar. We're hired to create automation solutions to problems that exist in different industries. Sometimes, people only tend to evaluate the final product, which is the app/software/solution we present them. However, there is much more to this story. The foundation of the final product is the code. And, when the code is well written, everything flows much better. So, how can you possibly write better and cleaner code? The cleaner your code, the better you'll be seen as a professional and the easier it will be for you to make adjustments, correct bugs and implement new features in the future.
