Hello Brian, I'm not a software developer, and have no plans on becoming one, but I enjoy your videos non-the-less. Outside of the excellent quality and style of the videos, you have pleasing personality and come across as being authentically who you are. I am drawn to that as much as content itself. Keep up the great work, and I wish you all the best in your career. You have a fan in me.

[@brianruizy]

I'm happy to hear the content can be enjoyed in general! For that reason, I do sometimes wish to make more lifestyle-type vlogs in addition to tech content, but we'll see. How did you come across the channel?

[@hollisnelson5925]

Hey Brian, while I'm not a SWE, (way past my time for that) I am a PC and tech enthusiast. I run a GED program that helps young people who have dropped out school obtain their GED, and we also teach them how to build their own gaming PC, so I am drawn to tech related content. Came across your site browsing some of the Day in My Life videos and found yours to be one of the best for reasons previously mentioned. Keeps me inspired and I enjoy seeing young people make their mark on the world.@@brianruizy

Open concept office layout facilitates in-person collaboration. If you can do your job mostly solo without needing someone sitting next to you, you might find a private cubicle/office more suitable. I personally could do without the distraction.

Hi Brian, great video as always. For someone who is finishing up studying app development (currently on Android), who also uses Flutter and would like to pursue iOS development, would you recommend the MBAir M2 15' or the MBPro M2 14'? Also, do you think it's a good idea to pursue iOS development? Greetings from Spain.

if you're finishing up studies and about to start getting into actual jobs, I would probably go for the Pro already. I haven't done mobile app development, but I don't see why iOS Dev would be bad. App Store isn't going anywhere, can maybe get into Vision Pro apps :)
