Nice vlog, it's really interesting to see what other SWEs actually do. I too don't feel very fulfilled at the end of the day when I work too hard for a job I don't really care. The only way to keep going is setting goals and finding something interesting in work (NeoVim or CLI tools). However, I don't think switching to doing only the things I want is a good long term solution (only playing what you want as a DJ)
I wish I knew what you already know as i'm just getting started, and I don't know how it's going to be. Great vid.
😅
With most things in life, it just takes time!

Appreciate it!! I realized the importance of setting goals too late, so im definitely making it a focus nowadays
yeah tell that to someone who is stuck in a customer support role after solving 1000+ leetcode and isn't allowed to touch code or fix bugs
