Believing you cannot pass code challenges or learn math prevents you from trying, guaranteeing failure, whereas believing success comes from preparation and practice drives the necessary work to get the job.
Hear it at 0:00 →Your hypothesis dictates your outcome. If you believe that you suck at math, you won't even try to get better at math. As a result, you will suck at math. If you believe that live code challenges are impossible to pass, then you won't put in the work. And as a result, you will fail. Which in turn, of course, will reinforce your belief that you simply suck at code challenges. If you believe in exchange that passing code challenges is simply a matter of preparing well, having a process and practicing enough, then it's more probable that you will put in the necessary work, pass the code challenge and get the job.
Your biggest enemy as a developer many times are your own beliefs. Change your beliefs, change your hypothesis, and you will change your outcome.
