[@stxllr4687]

@@vanderleymassinga5346 it’s called hyperbole, it’s when someone exaggerates their actions to give more emphasis to the event! in this case, CodeMode means that the alarm clock made him/her/them become shocked, so it ‘literally killed’ him/her/them. usually ‘literally’ is used for things that mean what they say, but sometimes we use ‘literally’ for hyperbolic statements.

[@ElsaScola]

Appreciate it Matt ☺

[@techmentormaria]

As a Software Engineering Manager and former Tech Lead, it's always interesting to see a day in the life of a software engineer at a large tech company like Amazon. It's clear from the video that Amazon places a strong emphasis on collaboration, as the software engineer in the video spends a significant amount of time working with their team and seeking feedback from their peers. I also appreciate that the video highlights the use of agile development methodologies and the importance of continuously delivering value to customers. It's clear that the software engineer in the video is deeply engaged in their work and is constantly learning and growing in their role. Overall, it's a great representation of the fast-paced and dynamic work environment at Amazon and the exciting opportunities that software engineers have to make an impact.

@@TANCEUS Then do yourself a favor and watch something else or else you're gonna learn how to do fuck all like she just did in this video... 2 meals, 2 coffee breaks, chilling in the garden and 2 hours of coding at most are not what most software engineers do every day...

Should we do DSA , Project post joining a company 3. I hear about specialisation in thing / great at something , so how does on be that in web dev , like what exactly is the brand -personal brand thing if i want to pursue that . Great Video , it may be lot of question , i trying to be articulate as much in one go .

Thank you for creating such an informative video about your life. As a system analyst in fintech, I'm interested in making a career switch to iOS development and I was hoping you could offer some suggestions on what I should focus on. I would appreciate it if you could share your thoughts on the essential skills and technologies that I should learn to become proficient in iOS development. Additionally, if you could recommend any specific projects or resources that I could use to get started, that would be really helpful. Lastly, I was wondering if you had any tips on how to make myself more attractive to potential employers as an iOS developer.

I went for a software engineer job at Amazon, passed the interviews. Hold 2 degrees, and 10 years commercial experience and still never got the role. Unless I am missing something I vowed never to work for anyone again as It made me feel undervalued. I feel comp sci and software engineering degrees have been useless to me and should have just become a tradesman of some kind especially now in era of AI. Luckily contracting has been my best solution as there are rarely meetings and work anytime anywhere autonomously. Well done on achieving this role but as one can imagine the whole situation trys to make you feel shit after having putting in so much work over years but I won't let these companies grind me down.

[@santana444]

Amazon hires diversity first, not skillset first, unless your on a critical team that actually codes, I'm 100% sure the person in this video is on a non essential team and probably spends 90% of the time in meetings and 10% pasting source code.

[@standintheback9085]

So can I ask, what are your qualifications to this point that got you this job? Do you have a degree or Certs...both? What would you say someone needed to get to this same point? What would you suggest right now is a good to pursue to for someone looking to hange carears to do what you do? thanks
