a day in the life of a software engineer in austin (working in office)

No lambos, no meditation for 30 minutes while getting on calls ? haha, great video my man keep em coming

[@itsjoshluo]

just your average pleb :) thank you, appreciate it!

[@rubinnitsuh4392]

really enjoyed it , it's fascinating that almost 80% of us are the same , wake up - go to work - have lunch - get back to work - workout - go home - do some light gaming and go to bed !!!

[@Cavi587]

I like how unlike most KZbin vids of this kind this one doesn't focus mostly on eating ambitious meals, drinking more coffee than I consume in a month and going out with coworkers every night. Feels a lot more realistic!

[@itsjoshluo]

My man ive watched a few “day in the life of a SE” to help me keep going on my journey. Ive got to say, this is the utmost first “day in the life” video that feels so warm, so genuine, so human. When others do these, its usually either flashy or those that “try” to make their life seem like it’s completely ordinary but its not. I hope its not being read in bad way: i mean that this video truly captured what it means to be human: humble, dedicated , and funny. I f’ing love it man. I legitimately blurted out “beautiful” at the end. Wishing u many successes man

[@merylynn2930]

Wow!!!! I’m a software engineer in Austin too! But besides that, I’ve just binged all your videos and they are all amazing!!! You have great storytelling and editing skills. Can’t wait to see the next one! Please don’t stop making videos!!

Cool video!!! Nice work. “avoiding social interaction by pretending I have friends” is painfully real. About a quarter of my coworkers do the same so it’s normalized a bit more 😅

Beautifully edited content 🙌🏽 I’m sure you put a lot of prep into camera placement based on the angles/shots you have in the video. Awesome video, you just gained another subscriber! Funny enough, I came across this video because KZbin was recommending my “Day In the Life” video at the end of this video according to my analytics 😂

[@itsjoshluo]

thanks! filming by yourself definitely makes it tough to get all these shots lol so i appreciate the recognition! hope your vid continues to get recommended :)

[@grainofsalt2113]

such a sweet and calming video. I actually really like the subtitles because i can enjoy the background music more

I'm the same way! I prefer to do subtitles than talking to be honest. It's more comfortable for me. Nice job on this video, your creative angle shoots are entertaining 👏

[@koolrocker12]

I understand why this might seem boring to some people in contrast to other things like finance or mechanical engineering, unlike those careers, we can't really fully appreciate what SWEs do because it's behind a screen. The interesting part (at least for me) is the problem solving/creating a software engineer does, and that's hard to convey on a Day In The Life video.

[@itsjoshluo]

definitely! can't exactly show source code or describe problems you're working on either, but maybe it'd be a good idea in the future to share generic examples of problems we might work on
