..... ok but whats your day like as a soundcloud developer?
- Hows your day structured?
- What's an example of a recent project you've worked on?
- Who do you interact with to make a project successful?
This is a nice video and all but it isn't a "day in the life of an x" video. Its a developer story.
As much as I liked the video, I had also hoped for more insight into the actual job at SoundCloud. What is she working on, frontend, backend etc
@@contrail-app Thanks for the feedback, guys, will definitely think about this for the next one! 🤗
@@Honeypotio the personal approach is great, but maybe if you could add the insight on the actual dynamic that unfolds while in the job, no matter the length of the video. It'd still be enjoyable. 💪🏻Keep the good work
@@Honeypotio 👍🏾 The video itself is actually great, maybe a different title would have worked like, Life in Berlin as a Software Engineer, but overall the video was great, SoundCloud is one company I've always wanted to know more about when comes to how they function with their devs, looking forward to your next one!
i attempt to make one that may give you more insights :)
omg she’s adorable but where was the DEVELOPING PART
It's like this:
th-cam.com/video/rR4n-0KYeKQ/w-d-xo.html
@@MyNegativeCreep omg lol so true
type. faster
Was outsourced to some Asian country, I think.
They just bring in attractive girls who can only write "Hello World" for an obvious reason... :)
"A day in the life of a Soundcloud Developer"
*doesn't shows anything about being a developer at Soundcloud*
her voice is nice but i kind of wanted to see her day as a "Developer"
most likely she signed an NDA...and for sure soundcloud doest want any of their IP on the web
@@p33t3rpark3r So? What does this have to do with showing her day?
these videos about "A Day in the Life of software engineer" are always so cool ... no deadlines, no extra hours, no bugs... ;-)
I know right? No long meetings. Boring jad sessions
I know this is not what you'd expect from "A day in the life of a ..." video, but for anyone who's struggled (or still is struggling) with hardships of software development/computer science, this video is still helpful. It is nice to see a down to earth person who has gone through something similar and has not given up, and has found their dream job through their perseverance.
6:12 --> 7:02 Everyone should face these struggles. But some people give up at these moments.
just what I needed to hear
Gosh! I've been stuck between walls for days.
And the moment when I find the soln and break a wall,
that moment!
I just can't explain.
@@beecee4756 Exactly what most of people feel. Especially if you are around toxic programmers.. Your life turns straight into hell.
@@muttalibsheriff me too when I heard those words last night I was finally able to go to sleep without feeling so inadequate.
Yes! People always ask for my help and swear they’ll never understand how I know the stuff I know. Honestly the only difference between me and them is that i didn’t give up. When an error comes up or code doesn’t work just don’t give up!
If you just keep on not giving up, you’ll eventually see every bug and problem and you’ll be able to spot errors in other peoples code and not make those mistakes. Google is your friend. Frustration is your friend, swim in it, live in it. Eventually it loses its sting.
Can I just say how amazing the production quality is? The video ended up much more interesting than what I thought it'd be: a timelapse of eating free snacks in front of blurred screens.
She tells the truth about having a dream job
She looks still really young but already got her dream job....Working as software developer in a big tech company is awesome...

No thanks
@@chillappreciator885 😢
@@Honeypotio thanks for the videos! Yes we want!
So a SoundCloud developer is singing all day and checking Linkedin? Just kidding...
That would be really fun with excitment.
yeah, pretty much 😂
People don't understand the title "A Day with a Berlin Developer"... means like "Spending the day with a Berlin Developer" (On her free day).
Yeah so pretty much anybody since the job isn't involved. It doesn't make sense to put the job in the title if you're not going to show how the day is influenced by it.
but who give a **** about her free day .. wtf
They changed the title, it used to be "A day in the life of a Soundcloud Developer"
this resonated so much with me, and with how i felt as a junior developer moving from the countryside to vienna.
11:08 damn , that unlucky timing for the young lady. I love how shes instant walking away to the next door :D
loveeeeed the video! thanks for making it :) i think they're enough technical blogging and videos about software development stuff (saying bc of some comments) but I really really like this style, super refreshing, love to see the human side of devs
Thank you! 💕
Not really a developer, don't know what it's like to live abroad, but that cracked screen 10:53 really grounded this whole thing for me hehe. Great video too
So I guess soundcloud developers talk about their life stories on a daily basis right? Sign me up!
The guy commented before me was right. Best 'Day in a life of a software engineer' ever! The film is so good!! Netflix of software engineering, we love your work
Thank you, Huy!
Thank you for such mind shaking videos! Impressed that so versatile persons are working in a Software Engineering. Thanks for bringing all the feelings through this video! Made my day!
Always waiting for your notifications to pop up. . . Love your content HP
Best "Day in the Life of Software Engineer" video I have seen so far.
I like the reality of it.
It’s not a show of
“hey look I eat for free, I have the latest phone”
Our Netflix 😀💕💕
😘
@@Honeypotio Post more often please :P Where do I send money so you can?
Jarek, you're an angel 💸 Send cash to my onlyfans! 😌 love you
@@Honeypotio hahhaha
I was already in love with this video... and then Band CAMINO show!! ❤️
I expected more 'developer' side of the story, while it is more focused on Berlin itself, but it's ok.
What I didn't like, however, was that shadows were not cast at all.
You skimmed a thin layer off of a cute girl's hip-as-hell life in a fluffy, dreamy pair of lenses. Making a living, day by day is something much bigger than that.
If you want real viewership, my suggestion is that you touch beneath the surface, where the real substance lies in.
Yep, programming is like punching walls everyday. The feeling is great though once you figure out something you spent so much time mulling over.
Those who are getting inspiration. 99% developers are not like this. Trust me. its dark not that bright. I don't even remember what a day or morning look like.
Just like this video, your experience isn't *everyone's* experience.
As a freelancer I can relate to you bro, but she's kinda cute though 😂
@@ivanarsenyev1654 dude sorry but this comment was just a joke. I mean I am not saying dev. work a lot , Its not same as we see in this video. Also I like being a night owl and getting engaged in computer.
@@surajkushwah3221 Being an owl, an awful thing actually.
Yea as a developer you work in office and at home basically you're never free
Кажется, я влюбился :) Прекрасная Даша, любимый Soundcloud, тусовочный Берлин! Всем мир! :)
same shit бро
@catsapp animation да
Musician and dev here, loved the video
Looking forward to a day of a oil driller or a mechanical operator.
Hell yeah! fossil fuels for the win 🛢
Bom... Eu achei a sua ideia interessante, Andrew. SEM IRONIAS.
@@samaramathildes8276 да какая ирония, ты че, клауд девелопер - это скучно, а шахтер - круто.
So much of what she says resonates with me a lot as this is the way I felt when I came to Germany.
The memes though are kinda the most important to me as a software developer. 😃
I need that Jira meme
Just wanted to say, that you people make great videos!
I thought you would find some API related news. Every time I want to get creative I find this: "Due to the high amount of requests recently received, we will no longer be processing API application requests at this time. We are working to re-evaluate our process to make it more efficient."
I have watched the best videos and documentaries in this channel, the quality, the sound, the vibe, the communities, everything is great about it, keep doing those :3
Everything looks perfect in this video, and she has a really nice job 😊
Renting supposed to be very expensive in Berlin now though.
My god man! How u guys transfer some simple video clips and sound bits into such captivating story..... just WOW
💛 It's comments like this that keep us motivated 😌 love u
@@Honeypotio No no Honeypot, no no no no....., we love you!!!!
I don't know about her developer-skills but she's a really good singer!
I like the fact that you have record player but you should buy A HIFI speaker to get full potential from that music enjoyment
SO greatful you're making these DevCities series - as a developer that wants to work around the world, massively appreciate it!
Great to hear, Lori - stay tuned! 🤓
She simply stole my heart
Always Thank you for the inspiring stories Honeypot ❤️
that is one of the best vlogs i saw , i am gonnna subscribe
This is encouraging to consider other countries, but definitely not what I was expecting
I love the fact that she is so beautiful, open and positive all the time. Everything she says just flows so beautifully. And that part from 6:10 to 7:02 is the life of every struggling developers.
Also she doesn't hide her broken smartphone and enjoy programming memes. My type of girl.
Time to pack my bags and apply at SoundCloud in Berlina. Oh Wait.....this Coronavirus.
lol
10:52 I hadn't seen that one... poor Jira
A Day in the Life of a SoundCloud Developer
..... and absolutely nothing about developing or SoundClound
Didn’t know Berlin was a big tech hub 😳 I gotta do my research. Love the video!
Although interesting, we could have seen a little more on your daily routine as a soundcloud engineer. We all like to compare with our own days - especially when looking at a company such as Soundcloud
I'm a developer and I'm here to learn English by watching your videos haha
wow, what a great unique peace. wonderful. i really get the feeling of berlin. it's inbetween sadness and party. somehow it keeps you staying there eventhough your heart belongs somewhere else and you feel this everyday.
Thank you! 🤗
It is good that she mentioned that she still struggles with getting her code to work. It is great for new and not so new developers to hear that from people in the industry especially ones that work for high profile companies. That said I have to echo some of the other comments disappointed with the lack of expansion on the actual development part of life. Still I found the video to be enjoyable nonetheless.
This is great work. Please do Munich.
Stay tuned 😏
Hey, if you see this Dasha - can you add a 2x playback speed feature to audio books on SoundCloud?
Privet Dasha, where did you get that Francesco poster?
Developer here from Brazil! Thank you so much for inspiring me with this amazing story. That's what I want!!
Удачи Даше !!!
and not a single line of code was written by this girl.... like maybe in a long time.... she just talked about her feelings and how she is free...
well the video is not about her day at work, but a day of her as a developer, filmed from her on a day she was not working.
Nice 👍 thanks for sharing 😁😁😁
Love this new video series
Thanks Lorenzo, stay tuned! 💖
Okay but the outline should be
_ Technology Stack
_ Personal Struggle to learn the tech stack
_ Recommendations to join SC
_ How things work at SC as Software development
.
.
.
and where is the code baby!
Doesn't look like she codes
is there any other videos with Dasha about the tech or life in Berlin?
I think this is a perfect profile, ok Maybe just if she mentions if she likes React etc would tick a box but honestly Berlin is so interesting
Oh wow I’d love to learn Berlin development one day
i like the wisdom she shared
Happy hello from Berlin-Spandau.
I love these videos! It inspires me to explore the world while pursuing an engineering career.
it went more into her story but it seems ok....some of us are interested in the city culture too
In the comments we just understand why the tech industry is so toxic. Doing that for about 25 years and keep doing because I love it, but is not that easy dealing with all those dickheads over there.
Honeypot contents is always awesome and inspiring 😌
Can totally relate to this story. Music and programming are everything to me.
Great video, please keep em coming!
"A day in the life of a soundcloud developer". Seeing a girl struggling with her feelings because she is living abroud in a weirdo city like Berlin ( as a german you can also get a cultural shock there, beliebte me). And me waiting the whole time to see some insights of soundcloud...
As I thought.....SHE IS RUSSIAN.....pure beauty and look so open for me......GOOD LUCK GIRL - УДАЧИ
Awesome video! Her style and singing voice reminds me a little bit of Lauren Mayberry from Chvrches!
i dont care what she does. im in love 😍😍😍
What does she actually do? What, singing developer? Which progr. languages/technologies does she use and why?
Guys, they are a company that is meant to connect you with a comfy dev lifestyle as a result of you using their services. Of course their video won't go in depth on what her actual day at the job is lol. They are selling you a lifestyle, and the video is just that. A cool lifestyle change as a result of a dev job you want.
Nothing wrong with a cool lifestyle 😎 AM I RIGHT, BOYS?!!??!!!!!
Yaaas! Wondered how I missed this so far! Also where's the promised video with a company rhyming with doodle ?
so cool, thanks!
I've heard colleges and university in Germany is really cheap.
It's basically free
What camera do you guys use?
Where's the apply button?
These are really nicee!!😍please honeypot can you do ones in Asia and Africa.
i enjoyed this fellas, i know there wasnt much about dev but hey shes pretty lol and seems to have a life outside of code...some hope at last
typical day of a developer indeed. Clock 8 hours but only actually work for like 2. the rest we chat with coworkers and use the built in studio at our workplace haha
Berlin is awesome, fav city
Cool little documentary, just too bad there is this gap between the content and the title - whish made me hope to have a deeper insight into the "soundcloud developer reality"... otherwise, found it pretty captivating
Thanks for the feedback, Boris, we will work on the title! 🙏
@@Honeypotio 🙂👍
Is Berlin good to migrate to as a developer with 2yoe ?
What music is playing from 7:45 ?
let me know please
@@silkproduction I do not as well
@Honeypot can you help us with this ? :) Thank you .
That university part really good
It seems like the rents are so high in berlin that there's nothing left for food
Throwback Halsey, love it!
Thank you for this amazing story :)
i came because of the thumbnail, but stay for the story.
Camera work is on point. Good job.
So soundcloud is a music company not a tech company?????
Hi! Im starting to learn Java software development with some courses like Java master class etc. Do u think that when im done with that if I have good skills I will be able to get a job? Or there are only opportunities to ppl that went to university to get a computer science degree? ( I live in hamburg and I'm jjst learning German)
Nice video!
The first ~3 minutes felt quite stretched/boring, but it really picked up afterwards.
She took my breath from very first seconds.
Am I the only one who tried to find that JIRA meme and couldn't ?
Do share
Same I was just looking for it
She develops music for soundcloud?
The time when you dont wear any masks on S or U-bahns, missing those days//
The Band Camino! Yesssssss
