Aslong as i'm thinking about writing code on the weekend i count that as a win. I'm VERY productive in that sense.

Glad to see you getting more subscribers

Thank you!

Hey Alex, it was a really nice surprise coming across your channel! Your videos have such a high production quality when it comes to the camera work, editing, writing and is something I have not seen often in the youtube tech space. Best of luck in your future projects and hope you continue in this direction!

Great video, Alex!

I've always been obsessed with japan...past life? My wife says so. The edits and cuts really made this video amazing. Just wanted to say that, keep it up. Coding is tough, I gave up and did cybersecurity instead. 😅

This is amazing

Hi Create vlog ! I Love it !

[@easyduster]

Good stuff g

[@dev_intheshell]

Keep up the great work, I have a feeling this channel could grow a lot. Japan has a lot to offer in terms of cinematic vlogging

[@js2511]

WTF the scream in 0:29 is really real!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Mazoane]

Nice video! And that’s the right way to have coffee indeed. Can you share some tips to find swe jobs in japan? Specially if I don’t have experience? Thanks

[@charliep1]

That was a fun video. Really enjoyed the cold shower scream :)

[@fox1574]

Ahah love this! Coding aside, it seems you're well versed into videography as well, really nice compositions and editing. Do you have any sort of background in filmmaking?

[@alex_remotely]

Thank you! I shot a fair few weddings back in the day :)

[@fox1574]

@@alex_remotely How cool! Your experience definitely shows. Please keep it up!

[@vasiliskarvelas5488]

@@alex_remotely Wow. I have a youtube channel, and the most difficult and boring thing for me is video editing... Keep it up :D

[@3mt033]

Good video! That fancy looking mouse at the start stresses me out. What kind of camera are you using to record your videos?

[@alex_remotely]

Thank you! I have a Sony a7siii

[@yasuyukiono71]

Hi!I am starting watch your videos as learning English😁.Also I am interested at software engineer's daily life.

[@sergiocuadrado837]

Amazing vid. Do you have any problems w focus? I am struggling with that lately

[@alex_remotely]

Always. One day I’ll make a vid about that

[@Swknable]

Hey, I'm a programmer located and I'm looking to be working remotely overseas in the future. Any tip on how to get to that? Would love to hear your story :)

[@duvanxo3033]

I would love to go Japan and I would love to become a software engineer

[@peterzeman2749]

Hi, what is that stand you are using for your laptop?

[@alex_remotely]

It’s an ergotron lx laptop arm. I’ll be making a desk setup video soon, stay tuned!

[@marquesherminio5589]

Hey, I'm from Brazil and my dream is working as you are, I'm at college now and learning english and about code. Do you have a tip for beginner student in programming? I really appreciate your videos have one more sub hehe ;)

[@lasindadilshan7860]

Im also looking this kind of life . Are they working remotely permanently?

[@alex_remotely]

Yes I am

[@insomicraiddict]

I tend to think about code even in my free time, I even created an application for my family that randomly generates who they have to buy Christmas gifts so everyone is surprised of who their Santa is (except me, I’m the admin lol) since our families are all spread out

[@AvinashSewpersadh]

A true professional would get a catheter

[@supercrunch3367]

i love your bald head man

[@MauriceWilliams]

You are suppose to code everyday even if it’s only for 10 minutes.

[@RussChannel13]

Алекс, откуда вы родом , если не секрет ? : )

[@thewrongopinion7811]

I wish I lived in Japan. No one wears masks here any more. At least in Japan I'd feel safe. Especially in the gym with all the breathing.... urgh
