Gemini's Development Practice - Commerce Backend Basics

I was able to understand how you approach the general topic of commerce and how you interpret the realm of concepts. In particular, it was very good to see the philosophy about the work of 'development' throughout the entire lecture content. I would like to recommend this to those who want to become developers, but I especially want to highly recommend this lecture to 1-2 year developers or those with more experience who are confused about how to approach development work as a developer. Lastly, I was always curious about sample code while watching YouTube, and the lecture explained it in great detail, so it feels like my blockages have been resolved. I hope the next lecture comes out soon. Thank you for the good lecture.

Hmm.. The first thought that came to mind after completing the course was "reason." Every code and design must have a reason, and this course constantly touches on those reasons. It makes me think more deeply even about parts I considered basic and took for granted (personally ingrained thoughts). You could say it builds the power of thinking, but I think it's also good to say it breaks the mold. Most importantly, the course is fun. As server developers would know, each topic and subject in the course has a satisfying depth to chew on and dissect 😆😆 Thank you so much for such a great course! If there's a follow-up course, I'll definitely purchase it. The downside is that I got so focused on the course that I missed mealtime and got hungry.. Oh, muscle loss..

The lectures were truly excellent, but I think the real gem is the code you provide. This code is a complete set that can be directly applied to real-world work in any domain. The concepts that I've been intensely contemplating for over 10 years as a developer are crystallized in this code. The project's layer structure, the role of each class, and even every meticulous configuration value are all the result of deep consideration. While taking the lectures, it felt like sitting next to you and developing together while pondering the problems, which was really wonderful. And just like someone I respect always used to say, there were countless moments when I thought "This is what I took the lecture for" (it really wasn't just one thing). Please continue to create many good lectures. I'm also consistently watching your YouTube videos. Thank you always.

I listened to the lecture multiple times, thinking about various aspects while listening, so it took longer than expected to complete the course. Thank you so much, Jaemin, for creating such a great lecture🙏🏻 I had so much to say that it took me a while to organize my thoughts, which is why I'm writing this review late😂 As someone preparing for employment, the realm of practical work has always been an unknown territory and, in some ways, a source of fear for me. Vague anxieties like "How do they do things in actual work?" and "What if real work is much harder than what I'm studying now?" were always lurking in the corner of my study process. Then I accidentally discovered Jaemin's YouTube channel through the algorithm, and the topics you discussed were so valuable that I saved them to my playlist and listened to them repeatedly over multiple sessions. I think I watched the parts about relationships more than 20 times😅 Also, I often zoomed in to try to see the code shown in the videos because I desperately wanted to see it 😆😆😆 For someone like me, Jaemin's lecture was truly a gift itself👍🏻 As I expected, this lecture was also truly Jaemin-like, the type of lecture that only Jaemin could deliver. Unlike other lectures, it doesn't focus on specific languages or technologies, but purely on "How should we work?" and "How should we develop?" What I liked most was how you constantly brought up real-world conditions like the size of the software being developed and the scale of the development team, explaining the best approach for each situation. Since the "why" was always explained in context with specific situations, it was much easier to accept and understand. To be honest, I don't think this lecture can be called a Kind lecture. I felt it was not a lecture that directly catches fish for you, but rather one that teaches you how to catch fish. Perhaps that's why it took more time to complete the course. However, I absolutely don't think this approach is wrong. In the upcoming era where we must coexist with AI, I believe the most important ability might be exactly what Jaemin continuously emphasized in the lecture - the power of "thinking." I think the difference between implementing something while "thinking" versus doing it conventionally or just following what others do will manifest as a clear difference in capability when we need to build increasingly larger software. Now that I've finished the entire lecture, there are still many points I need to think about more, and there are still parts I don't fully understand, so I still have a long way to go. But with the refreshing feeling of having completed it from start to finish, I'm leaving this review😊😊 Since writing only in paragraphs might make it difficult to easily understand this lecture, I'd like to provide a simple summary as well. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Advantages of this lecture!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - It really teaches you how to "think" and work from a practical work perspective. - You can learn not only about backend development but also how to communicate and approach work when collaborating with people in planning, frontend, etc. (I think this is a really important point for job seekers!) - You can understand what decisions to make in your current situation. You can learn that famous and widely-used technologies aren't always the answer. - The quality of the example code is really excellent. Just looking at this code upgrades your perspective by one level. - When you ask questions, answers are provided really quickly and with good quality. It's really great for additional studying by looking at questions asked by others. I think this is a really good lecture that, while not conventional, allows you to gain new perspectives precisely because it's not conventional. I really, really highly recommend it!! If I have a personal wish, I hope it continues as a series in the future☺️ Like seeing how to develop it into the "sustainable and growable software" that Jaemin wrote about, or additional points worth considering 😊😊 Thank you.

I wonder if it's okay to write a review in advance, but... As someone who has been continuously watching through YouTube, this is so great. It feels like I've gained a good mentor..😭 I really love how you break down difficult development terms in a way that anyone can understand and guide us to think about them. Please keep making great lectures!

After completing this course over about 8 days, I highly recommend this lecture. The biggest advantage is that each section helps develop the 'thinking power' itself - how to think about business requirements. The domain knowledge covered in the course will also serve as an excellent introduction for those interested in the commerce field. Personally, I believe this course maximizes its value not just by organizing content, but when you expand requirements and improve code on your own based on the knowledge and direction you've learned. I think this is what the instructor truly hopes for from students. Above all, the example code quality is good, and I was grateful for the many parts I could learn from and experiment with in that code. (Additional) If I may dare to give feedback, it would be great if you could cover technical 'exception handling' considerations in detail beyond business logic. For example, practical content like handling external network errors, retry policies, and how to consistently recover data when specific logic fails would be tremendously helpful if included in future 'intermediate' or 'advanced' editions!

I gained a lot of great insights! I'll work on making them my own now! Thank you!
