Jobanjeet Singh: From Punjabi Coder to Tech Inspiration

Jobanjeet Singh speaking on TechCast Punjabi Podcast Coder & mentor Jobanjeet Singh aka Jeet Coder on TechCast Punjabi

🎧 Journey from College Confusion to Coding Confidence

Jobanjeet Singh started as a confused engineering student facing language and system gaps in Punjab's colleges. But through dedication, he launched a YouTube channel teaching programming in Punjabi during COVID, helping others rise with him.

He explains why GitHub, LinkedIn, and a daily learning mindset are more powerful than any degree. From early struggles to his first app built with Android Studio, Jeet's story is all about resilience, hustle, and clarity.

Jeet talks about modern tools like React Native, Flutter, and the real-world demand for hybrid app developers. He stresses that success in tech isn’t about shortcuts — it's about understanding the "why" behind every line of code.

This episode is gold for any aspiring Punjabi developer looking for honest, grounded advice in their own language.


💻 Start Small, Think Big

Jobanjeet Singh began his journey with HTML using just Notepad. He quickly realized there was a lack of Punjabi-language content for learning to code.

This gap inspired him to start a Punjabi YouTube channel during COVID, aiming to teach programming in a way that his community could understand and relate to.

💡 Key Insight: "If resources don’t exist in your language — create them. That’s real impact."

🎓 Theory-Heavy Education is a Barrier

He speaks candidly about the Punjab education system being overly focused on theory with little exposure to hands-on coding or practical tools.

Most students never hear about GitHub or LinkedIn until after graduation — a major missed opportunity in today’s tech hiring landscape.

💡 Key Insight: "Colleges give you degrees. GitHub gives you a career."

🔗 Personal Branding: LinkedIn & GitHub

Jobanjeet compares LinkedIn to Instagram — but for your career. He urges students to post regularly, show their progress, and build a visible portfolio.

He credits GitHub for his early freelance opportunities and internships, saying “Even a single uploaded project can open doors.”

💡 Key Insight: "Start treating LinkedIn like your job diary — not just a resume."

🔄 Stay Relevant: Learn Daily

From native Android to Flutter, React Native to Next.js — the stack keeps evolving. He emphasizes the importance of daily micro-learning.

“If you're not updating your skills, you're uninstalling your future,” he jokes.

💡 Key Insight: "Adaptability is more valuable than any single language or framework."

📲 Build Real Projects, Not Just Certificates

He built a SGPA-to-percentage calculator app during his 3rd semester. While others focused on grades, he focused on building solutions.

“Your project speaks louder than your percentage,” he says.

💡 Key Insight: "If you don’t use what you learn — you’ll lose what you learn."

🤖 AI is a Tool, Not a Shortcut

AI can assist you, but can’t replace you. He warns students about blindly copying ChatGPT answers without understanding the logic.

He promotes learning “prompt engineering” as a skill — but combining it with debugging, logic-building, and testing.

💡 Key Insight: "ChatGPT can give you answers. But only you can ask the right questions."

🌐 GitHub is Critical for Collaboration

In remote work, GitHub becomes your communication layer. He shares how team projects and version control boosted his confidence in interviews.

“It’s not just a repo — it’s your resume,” he says.

💡 Key Insight: "If your code isn’t on GitHub, it doesn’t exist."

💰 Cost-Saving Through Hybrid Apps

For clients, he recommends React Native or Flutter to build apps for Android & iOS from one codebase. Saves time, budget, and doubles delivery speed.

“Hybrid is not a compromise — it’s a competitive edge.”

💡 Key Insight: "One codebase. Two platforms. Zero excuses."

🧠 Learn JavaScript First — It's Everywhere

From websites to mobile apps to backend systems — JavaScript is universal. He calls it “the English language of coding.”

Also recommends long-term learners to explore stable tech like .NET for job safety.

💡 Key Insight: "JavaScript is the mother tongue of tech."

Lift While You Climb

Jobanjeet ends with a powerful reminder: Help those around you. Teach in Punjabi. Explain clearly. Collaborate instead of competing.

“If I can guide even one student to skip the struggles I had — I’ve done my job.”

💡 Key Insight: "If you learn alone, you grow slow. If you grow together, you rise faster."

🎙️ Final Thoughts from Jobanjeet Singh (Jeet Coder)

In this deeply motivating Punjabi podcast episode, Jobanjeet Singh shares the story of a coder who didn’t wait for perfect resources — he created them. From coding in Notepad to building a YouTube community, his journey proves that consistency, clarity, and community can change lives.

💡 Key Insight: "You don’t need the best laptop, the best college, or perfect English to start coding — you just need intent and effort." – Jobanjeet Singh (Jeet Coder)

He encourages students to stop chasing shortcuts and start building skillsets. Whether it's using GitHub, writing clean code, or just learning in your own language — it all adds up.

Above all, his message is clear: “Don’t just learn to earn — learn to contribute.” In a world of AI, tools, and automation, it’s still the human mind that matters most.

If you’re a student, developer, or dreamer — take this episode as a nudge to build boldly, share freely, and keep growing one step at a time.
