Young generation Vlog starter pack : - booster board - expensive camera and mic for quality - software developer - friend with famous youtuber - new apartment - Rich asian parents Btw great video
Finally someone showing the fun side of programming and software engineering,all the other channels be like wake up breakfast work work work lunch work work work some workout for 1 hour and sleep its just too depressing to watch but this guy got positive energy spreading everywhere you can tell it even from his fashion style keep up the good work man you gave me motivation to become my better self👍🏻
I literally just watched 4 different channels about a day in the life of this and that or day in the life of a nyc college student and they literally ALL had boosted boards. They must be really popular in the city
Please wear a helmet man!--> Safety above looking cool! I lost one of my friends recently due to a skateboard accident on public roads. Love your content and I don't want anything to happen to you man;)
@@Manu-se5tx not sure if you're correctly replying to me. My comment was just a statement that New Yorkers skateboard/scooter all the time even in these heavy traffic situations.
I'm really glad you shared this! I'm in a remote bootcamp right now and New York is on my top list of places to move to and get a job in. There's something very captivating about the hustle and bustle of NYC.
I like your idea about getting money from freelance to cover rent and saving your salary thats a great way to get ahead of your finances and i have a feeling that your channel will grow and become a success it gives me casey neistant vibes
Dude, awesome video. Other “A Day in the Life” videos out there look kinda sloppy, with out-of-context music. But this one is so on point: the editing, your talking, the shots, your skateboard... Dope.
@jedcal can you please make a video about how you started and leant programming and all of that. Sort of like a blueprint? What things should we know and which programming languages? And the future scope of software development and full stack web development?
@@user-zc8sq3wr9f yeah I know, back then I didn't. Anyway..learnt MERN stack and made a few apps.. Looking to get a full time job as software developer now
@@pieceofmybrain2083 good luck bro! You can do it. There are so many jobs in the market right now. Just get your resume and interviewing skills right and you'll be okay. I recommend creating a Dice profile.
Why are you literally what I aspire to be. I’m currently a junior well senior in Highschool and I want to major in software engineer with a minor in photography. I currently have a photography business and man your life seems amazing. Would you mind making a video of your process when lookin for a job?
I came here from Elliot Choy’s and I’m super glad I did 😁 Please tell us more about software engineering and how the transition is from studying to working 😊 Great videography btw!
i am loving the booster board thing lmao ++ where i live i always see businessmen/women scootering around the city on electric scooters and its the funniest thing to me
I came here bc it was on my recommended list and then I saw Elliot at the end. I like watching day in a life video as a software engineer. I’m a Salesforce Developer myself in nyc
Holy crap we’re literally so alike. I graduated from college May 2018 and got a Test Engineer job in Cary NC, started doing YT and hoping to make enough off that to move to NYC soon. So glad I found your channel, maybe we’ll cross paths someday 👍
This video is was so refreshing to watch. Hoping to live like that one day. I’m currently a senior in high school and have no idea what I want to study in college. I’ve been looking into software engineering and it looks interesting so far! Thanks for sharing this
Love ur thought in Manhattan in beginning. When I tell people I want to live in Manhattan they all say no Brooklyn is better or smt but personally I would want to go through heart of New York ... also I’ve always wanted to live in manhattan so 😂❤️
this guy freakingly (made up a word) inspiring. From the pov of having two different niches and combining them into a single day. Thats what NYC city is about i guess
dude your life sounds hella fun man. Once i get out of college i wanna go work somewhere like where you work as an aeronautical engineer. Get a nice apartment and settle down you know.
Seen the apt video, and honestly as a fellow NYer and Brooklyn resident, Eff the haters! Do what makes you happy and feel good! I like your place of choice and your studio looks sick! I’m a new subscriber to your channel, looking forward to more great content. Keep it up bro! 🔥
This is literally the life I live for :( I’m currently studying computer science in college in the uk but want to study further in New York as a software engineer
I feel like all these youtubers/software people live the same life , just livin the life. Smart af, boosted boards, big cities. Makes you want to do follow their steps but then you realize you have to be a brilliant
Knowing him personally, he's waay smarter than you'd think. A lot more dedicated to his works and passion than a lot of people. He'd be flying and floating with ease at the taekwondo center and he'd give all old guys a hard time at the chess club(the same old geezers that went to compete at the world olympiad in Norway) His parents were all about school, he wasn't allowed to watch tv or play games on schooldays. He's ahead in literally every facet of life. I'm glad he was a part of my life cause he continues to be such a great inspiration. It helps knowing someone personally that truly made it and is accomplishing all their dreams. Just wish I would've known him for longer😅
@@theboybluu5838 He's the son of the owner of the taekwondo place I attended. He'd demonstrate stuff and help us practice our kicks. We also played at the same chess club in Harmon. Our dad's are also fairly close for the same reasons, chess and taekwondo.
thanks for watching! I know i didn't really show what i did in the office, but all I do is just sit in my desk in front of my laptops and code all day. No physical meetings or anything because my team is all online! Drop a like and subscribe for more NYC vlogs :)
@@oliviaf7543 hey! I'm curious as to how your transition was from Boston to NYC? I know how expensive apartments are in the city and I'm going to college this fall and want to make enough money so that I can afford an apartment in the city if I land a job there in the future.
You’re too cool, Jed! I’m proud of my fellow Guamie! Hehe. I don’t know anyone in NY that’s from Guam but you ☺️ Keep inspiring us. ✨ Be safe out there.
This is not the life of a software engineer, you did nothing related to the life of someone like that. This video can be perfectly "A day in the life of an any other person in new york"

"day in the life of a guy who owns a boosted board"
Pretty much
it should be the title. Lol
you gotta admit buying a boosted board is life changing
Are they still available
@@yffarah7231 are they expensive
Young generation Vlog starter pack :

Btw great video
Christian Staffone You were spot on until the last one 😂
@@jedcal maybe not rich but is richer than the most. :)
CateDoge Asian parents are cheap as hell lol
Nintee9 I think that depends on parents.
Cmon you're just jealous
"Can work from anywhere"
"works in one of the most expensive cities in the US."
Talk About Coins well there's a reason why its so damn expensive
one of the best cities in US Bruv
@@MrMarcos635 New York sucks.
Typically if you work put of new york, you get payed like 30% more vs if you live in Utah or Texas
Alexia Richardson yeah but quality of life is better who the hell tryna live in utah

Guessing this dude has been inspired by the legendary Neistat!

Casey💯💯
@@idkwhatmynameis1497 Casey Neistat
I literally just watched 4 different channels about a day in the life of this and that or day in the life of a nyc college student and they literally ALL had boosted boards. They must be really popular in the city
haha we're all influenced by casey neistat
@@jedcal haha as long as you're all having fun!!!!
Come to Arizona State - more boosted boards here than anywhere in the nation
I wanted one until that kid got hit by a car and had to have part of his skull removed

@@anupammalik22 Yes. All of us know how dangerous it can be without a helmet. Please like my comment so Jedcal can see it.
Awwwww what noooo sorry to hear that man I hope your ok
Sorry to hear that man, I hope you’re all good now. Stay safe.
you crazy with that board thing right in the middle of all that traffic
It's better than having car, you can beat traffic
Yorkers do it all the time ~ you get used to it
^^
@@alixluu Who does? The one skateboarding, the one in the car seeing him pop out of nowhere or the police?
@@Manu-se5tx not sure if you're correctly replying to me. My comment was just a statement that New Yorkers skateboard/scooter all the time even in these heavy traffic situations.
Get this man a helmet! ⛑
They are hard headed for a reason
helmets wont help, it has counter effect
😂😂😂
This man is litteraly living my dream life

Its funny how people in youtube show their life as a software engineer but none of the aspect of being a software engineer is being shown.
I like your idea about getting money from freelance to cover rent and saving your salary thats a great way to get ahead of your finances and i have a feeling that your channel will grow and become a success it gives me casey neistant vibes
I'll definitely experience this life in future 🤘🏻
Damn I'm Italian and I'm studying for a bachelor's degree in computer engineering and all these videos make me want to work in NY so much
Young and excited and full of energy. Both of u
I’m scared for your life skateboarding and vlogging in the streets of New York! Great video by the way! You becareful sir! Here to show you support!
Dude, awesome video. Other “A Day in the Life” videos out there look kinda sloppy, with out-of-context music. But this one is so on point: the editing, your talking, the shots, your skateboard... Dope.
Rafael Hurtado Thanks a lot man 🙏🏻
The guy is so cool while wearing formals and going on office on a scateboard !! Ur just cool mann
Indian Developers: Depressed Earning just $200 a month
US Developers:
That’s not if they do it online
India sucks
😓😓😓😓 ikr
those are the IT guys, not devs... devs in India earn at least $500 a month... many of the even north of $1000 a month...
Well you cant blame india for that, u don't know Indian developer can work from for usa and earn money in dollar??
You're living my dream life

Yazzi if you’re interested in it, computer science is an excellent choice for a major!
There's hardly any computer science shown here. You better watch some coding videos and then decide.

Was I the only one getting massive anxiety watching him on that board through New York with no helmet lol
Urban Space is so cool!! I've been to New York one time and I ate there 3-4 times
Living the life, man!
A video of a software engineer where you see everything except the actual work. This is really about the boosted board and living in NYC.
TH-cam algorithm recommended this channel. Subscribed 👍

I need to buy a boosted board.
Break Into Tech well they are out of business now :(
Ya it is comfortable
You can buy them for half priced used that’s what I did off Craigslist
the most realest hustler on TH-cam
although out of my reach but still attainable
Fun Fact: In every day in the life video the person has to wake up before they wake up, set the camera and pretend to wake up again....
That jump on board...
When he said that he liked living in New York I was like, so does corona 😂
Corona virus is everywhere moron. 🤦🏻♀️
Amazing style of video 🤩✌ Love from Bangalore 😎
you being friends with one of my favorite youtubers, elliot, is gold.
A engineer having so much fun 😁
why do these videos always turn into 70% boosted board 30% Asian American
Digging your hair style from two years ago, Jed.
You’re too cool, Jed! I’m proud of my fellow Guamie! Hehe. I don’t know anyone in NY that’s from Guam but you ☺️ Keep inspiring us. ✨ Be safe out there.

You are enjoying excellent life. Keep it Up.
I really want to live like this in a future! Im only a junior but Im planning on majoring in web developing!!
Boosted board and NYC reminds me Casey Niestat
Being in IT is a nice career I am an IT professional myself and can work from anywhere! IT jobs must pay quite a bit in NYC!! Great video.
Lmao so weird seeing Elliot come out of nowhere
This is the first video i saw on your channel and now i am a subscriber
Front End Software Engineer, I think I can change my title tomorrow. it
sounds better.
I’m currently a junior CS student at UT Austin and this video is so so cool :) I hope to be in NY one day 🌞
The title should be: day in the life of rich parents kid
Every new video just gives me another reason why I want to buy a boosted board
"How to use a boosted board"
Great vlog. Its nice to see NYC at night. Great ride also hehe
I'm a software engineer and I'm just sitting the whole day and programming. After I work I program for myself. I'm going to die early. jk.
Don't worry he is front end developer so it's just css and Ajax which is not coding
