Your coding environment is absolutely beautiful, wish everyone can work like you ❤ You motivation is always never ending and your content is so entertaining with the tech and vlog you share with us
Yes I enjoy when you move around and show the office, adding up some scenes were you code (especially those outdoors), it is just so refreshing. Looking forward for another day in the life video!
Thank you for this video! Coming from someone that starting to learn programming, I appreciate your perspective. I know its not as easy as it looks with all these videos on yt but it shows what you can have if you work hard. Thank you!
definitely have always been enjoying watching your vlog videos, they are amazing and sometimes when i have had a break down in my projects i come and check out your videos to boost my morale in programming, one thing i have learnt for sure is that, if you keep on changing your positions on where you code, your productivity rate increases
thanks! Yeah several people mention that it helps them stay productive or just relax haha. And, yup I feel that way too sometimes by simply switching positions or area.
Thank you for putting audio voice it is easier to follow the video then with subtitles 👌🏻 I like this type of videos of yours! Thank you for sharing your opinion about tech, I am not even working in this area, but seems pretty trendy and interesting! Waiting for new content :)
One thing i have to highlight i also love about being a software engineer/solution architect: The sheer number of different tasks and the infinite knowledge you can accumulate. I usually spend around 4 hours a day having all kinds of different meetings like tech plannings with other software engineers, product plannings with the project management, process optimizations with the agile coaches, architectural plannings with the other solution architects ... The list goes on. Besides that, i then also use a few specific "focus time" hours a day for writing code, implementing infrastructure or cloud components etc. There are also a million things you could specialize on, or be insane like me and try to learn everything :D

Good compensation bump but essentially it's not really much different, just more official and something I can put on my linked in. don't get me wrong, I still enjoy my job and it's 1 million times better than most other jobs, but I already feel kinda sad knowing, that I will most likely never experience my job like I used to in the first couple of years.
Different life different problems I guess. If you want to feel more fulfilled, try to take a minute or two everyday, and just admire all the stuff you have currently, don’t think what you want, but appreciate what you have right now
@@yoannme1181 I hear people mention that. Also in tech there’s a pattern to become really good at what you do just to end up in a management style position where you no longer get to code an all.
I love that I came across this video because I have seen so many TH-cam videos from current or former software engineers that talk about how people should not be software engineers. As someone who is learning and wanting to be a software engineer in the future it caused me to question if I should even want to do it. After sometime I finally realized that some people don't like the job, which is fine but I am concert on my decision that I do want to be a software engineer and this just showed me that I am on the right path.
No, they like their job .. the problem is that You can actually get top engineer located in countries that offer 1000 USD monthly, which is 12k annually So, why would you get hired in 1st class countries?? That's why you see top companies make huge layoffs
I love the job. Honestly, it's my dream, but the reality is, at the moment, it's insane and challenging. You should be aware of that. People asking for a year, even three, for entry roles, getting hired during COVID was a hundred times easier. If you are serious about this, build a portfolio and, more importantly, get out to meet people in the industry and hiring managers; making connections is how a lot of the people I know got their first jobs. Good luck, man.
As an introvert, I chose a freelance programming job for these benefits, and I am so happy coding while listening to my favorite K-pop music, solving problems, and working anywhere, even while traveling😊
Even as a beginner, I think it's true that creativity is necessary for programming. I'm glad you seem to be happy with these computer-related jobs. 10705
This video is very helpfull for me.I am 17 years old Sri Lankan.I love like this video because my ambition to become a Backend Software Enginner.Now I am improving my programming skills.So this chanel's videos really helpfull for me.
@@brianruizy currently, I use mainly: Kubernetes and some of the most important addons for it, GitHub Actions, for CI/CD, Terraform for IaC and some stuff for Observability such: Prometheus, Jaeger, Grafana, etc. Is a lot of things, and I'm trying to put Python in this, as well... Tech is crazy man hahaha.
Amazing video. I really love the way you edit your videos, especially the into. Those background views as your on your way to work(spectacular✨). Those building models were so beautiful. Can’t wait for more of your upcoming videos.🙌
Not necessarily. I work in healthcare research but do a lot of data analysis work in my role. I'm wanting to switch over to the tech field though. Putting out apps for data analyst positions!@@brianruizy
How did you get the shot were we could see you ride the bike from above the street?? I really enjoyed watching you work in different places in the office, and honestly the view from the Texas tower is stunning😊
the views are stunning, but these views doesnt have humans in them which makes me quite nervous about how lonely these life is gonna turn out for me hehe
Thanks! That would really depend on company and culture. For the most part there is good WLB, but don’t be surprised for more work hours near releases or updates
Great video! Really interesting to see the path and transparency of being a developer. Two questions 1. do you worry about AI taking over IT Developers? 2. What is the entry level experience like as a developer? Maybe that one needs a whole video lol. 😂You make it look very interesting and fulfilling 😀
@@Tolence Good to know. Was really curious about this and how it might impact things. I can completely see what you mean about business analysts being clueless and just not knowing what's possible. I guess things like ChatGPT and AI are still really only as good as the input - so if people suck at clearly putting together what they want then the output from AI won't be as good or efficient. I've seen flaws in the results from ChatGPT in some of the results too, so I guess there's still that.
Am a software engineer myself, as of 2024 January, ChatGpt is not yet powerful enough to completely write entire applications and sync them all together (think creating a complete application of back-end, front-end, cloud etc if you are talking about web apps). Chatgpt, however, is a powerful tool that helps you significantly improve your productivity, such as to refactor your code to make it look neat, source for bugs, or to do code language conversions, such as writing it in one programming language and getting it translated to another. As such, software engineers are definitely still needed, also in some big corporation, chatgpt is not allowed because of security reasons where the companies do not want you to copy and paste code into chat gpt. However, nobody knows what the future would look like and if the current advancements in ai continues, then yeah there is a very real possibility of software engineers being replaced one day
Loving the channel as always! , Just curious to know what kind of programming are you doing? and any advice to programmers who are finding their first job?

Hello, I really enjoy your videos and would like to become a software engineer one day, but i really wanted to ask about you bike which is realky impressive if u can please reply or make a video explaining your bike and the apps u use and how u manage it and how u track ur distance please, it would be much appreciated ❤
I have a very beginner level experience with JavaScript when I was learning web development many, many years ago. Now, I mostly code games in C#, along with basic SQL knowledge for database stuff. My father is filing for me to move from Jamaica to the US, and I’ve been thinking about getting back into learning JavaScript. Any advice for someone who doesn't have a CS degree to find Software Engineering jobs in the US?
if you born in first world country, you have educated family, some money and connections, even a basic ios developer can make 150K$. Even the your graduation year is important. In 2019, 4 months code course was enough to hire you in a software company. my friends are similar this guy, they work for banks, they literally do same thing over and over, they don't call themselves as engineers, they say bank employee, but the time was right, now they can't quit because no other company want then, they only good for other banks. in current economy, other banks refuse the increase their current salary
Greetings from a developer from Germany. It’s quite interesting to see other developers from other countries, also the salary is quite different. 170k average ist 100k more than in Germany but for sure, we don’t have to pay for healthcare and so on. Also what comes to my mind, is it the office of your company u working in or is it a coworking-space?
I’m not in big tech so my company doesn’t pay near 170k. And yes, this is the company’s building. Their business is commercial real estate so it makes sense to have an impressive looking HQ
Great video as always! Witnessing your channel's growth and the exceptional quality has been inspiring. I'm hoping to find non-traditional paths to break into software engineering in Texas, hoping to achieve a similar journey to yours. Any advice for someone aspiring to your level?

Right on. That building that he works in, is on another level of perfection jeje
Honestly I'm starting to wonder if he owns the whole floor/building. He's always the only person in the entire floor in every video.
