I'll see you guys in the course All right guys bear with my sinuses But I'm gonna explain why I quit JavaScript programming and the problems that I have so that you guys can learn from this as Well, so let's get right into it guys. I need to focus on doing a ton of projects and I'm providing more value in Fortuncide of being a senior level developer is you got a Reputation now more people need more of your time your services and all that stuff and Everybody bring these unique problems for any and problems backhand problems database development problems and you Only have 24 hours in a day. What do you do? Well, you have to focus in on the high impact Projects and for me those are back in projects at this point I cannot focus on learning more about JavaScript because of the new Latest frameworks and all that stuff that's coming out. I can't keep up with all that So I'm making the conscious decision to okay Put the JavaScript to the side as far as just a major JavaScript projects I'm gonna quit that and then I'm gonna work on my back end because that's my high impact Projects right now and a lot of you guys like no ride JavaScript is a very important part of the data software development process, which it is But at the end of the day, this is what I'm doing guys. I'm not a front-end developer I've never been a front-end developer JavaScript. I still I'm still gonna first of all I'm still gonna do Small JavaScript projects specifically in Google Analytics Using that with tag manager. Yeah, I'll continue to do that But that's entrenched in my back-end development that leverages JavaScript But as far as advanced front-end UI Building that out and user experience going through the deep anchor deep parts of no I'm not gonna do that because it's so much time guys. I only have 24 hours in a day I got to I got asleep which is a I got to Eat and take care of errands, which is probably another eight and then I gotta live And do my work and I only got eight hours do work and back-end development. It's taken, you know, 16 hours so It just it just can't I just can't do JavaScript anymore guys and a lot of you guys are in this same situation And you you haven't made this decision and your projects are suffering for it because you haven't really drawn a line and on What is my big impact projects and what are the projects that are not big impact? But they're just causing me a Lot of time and it's not that impactful and you have to sit down Identify those JavaScript projects that it may not even be JavaScript for you It may be Python. It may be database for you. Whatever your high-impact projects are you gonna find out pretty quickly? Hey, you know if I put all my projects in a list and I say my top four five projects are all database projects and the other one down here is JavaScript and I put the times beside them how I What the time I spend on a high-impact versus the others and you're gonna quickly realize that hey I spent just as much time on this other stuff down here than I do up here What if I just eliminate that focus here and then really be productive? You're gonna find that out pretty quickly as you start to advance yourself as a developer and really kind of put yourself in a position of wind so Outside of just a small Google tag stuff and probably some stuff on my WordPress website I'm not gonna be doing any more JavaScript development in the near future For you guys, I highly I highly recommend you guys do the same assessment Share your comments below. What type of situation you're in guys Are you feeling overwhelmed or is your productivity going down compared to where it used to be? I guarantee you if it is you have an exact same problem that I have Maybe it's not JavaScript for you. Maybe it's sequel. Maybe it's Python. Maybe it's C sharp or C++ I find pretty quickly if you don't focus in on the high-impact projects and Start to take a lot of the time-consuming low-impact projects off the table It starts to affect your performance with the higher impact projects guys I tell you that right now and You gotta start saying no to some of your clients Again, this is the downside of being a senior level developer Because at the end of the day, you know, you get so many requests and these are people you helped in the past When you was coming up they gave you your start and It's tough. It's tough to say no to those people But you know it gets to the point to where You provided them value in the past and you're moving on you advance in your career and don't get me wrong You're gonna always Referred them somebody else or either let them know that hey, it's on the books. I'm working my backlog But at the end of the day, you have to do it best for you and your family And what's gonna make you happy and advance your career at the end of the day? And a lot of developers don't talk about this because a lot of them get to this point most aspiring developers never become developers They learn all the Syntax programming language, but they never get to this point to where it becomes too much And when I say too much, it's it's too many projects too many too many requests coming at you at once And it could burn you out. This is why people get burned out because they don't do this And I feel like if I keep going in this direction taking on front-end projects and don't filter them out It's gonna become a problem which I never I never brought brought in front-end project or took on a lot of them always outsourced those But even with that, you know, it gets to the point where you get so many projects even the request When you're trying to send them off to the next person even that starts to become time-consuming Guys one one key fact as you grow the management of certain things grows as well So it's not like you can scale People as efficient as you would like a machine or something like that because people come at all these different questions and concerns That you just can't automate So you got to be aware of that and also put yourself in the position to focus on what matters with high-impact guys So I'm not gonna beat this dead horse too long. I suggest you guys take the same exercise Make sure you pull stuff off the table that does not That are not high impact because the high impact projects is the one that's gonna advance your career the fastest You're gonna learn faster. You're gonna have More experience your confidence level is gonna grow You're gonna have something to put on your Resume to showcase you're gonna be a communicate more because the larger the project the more communication Lot of benefits guys a lot of benefits and I highly recommend you guys to jump on that as quickly as possible So I covered all my points for the most part I want to keep you guys too long like subscribe to content if you have additional questions comment below If you haven't already Seven-step guide, I'll put a link on on the screen for you guys up here and also if you Try my free seven step guide.
