A Day with a Berlin Developer | DevCities (Finding your place, SoundCloud and Music)

[@psionicronin1911]

..... ok but whats your day like as a soundcloud developer? - Hows your day structured? - What's an example of a recent project you've worked on? - Who do you interact with to make a project successful? This is a nice video and all but it isn't a "day in the life of an x" video. Its a developer story.

[@contrail-app]

As much as I liked the video, I had also hoped for more insight into the actual job at SoundCloud. What is she working on, frontend, backend etc

[@Honeypotio]

@@contrail-app Thanks for the feedback, guys, will definitely think about this for the next one! 🤗

[@kiks399]

@@Honeypotio the personal approach is great, but maybe if you could add the insight on the actual dynamic that unfolds while in the job, no matter the length of the video. It'd still be enjoyable. 💪🏻Keep the good work

[@bloodandbonezzz]

@@Honeypotio 👍🏾 The video itself is actually great, maybe a different title would have worked like, Life in Berlin as a Software Engineer, but overall the video was great, SoundCloud is one company I've always wanted to know more about when comes to how they function with their devs, looking forward to your next one!

"A day in the life of a Soundcloud Developer" *doesn't shows anything about being a developer at Soundcloud* her voice is nice but i kind of wanted to see her day as a "Developer"

[@p33t3rpark3r]

most likely she signed an NDA...and for sure soundcloud doest want any of their IP on the web

[@MaLiN2223]

@@p33t3rpark3r So? What does this have to do with showing her day?

[@merichonishvili5929]

I know this is not what you'd expect from "A day in the life of a ..." video, but for anyone who's struggled (or still is struggling) with hardships of software development/computer science, this video is still helpful. It is nice to see a down to earth person who has gone through something similar and has not given up, and has found their dream job through their perseverance.

[@marcellkovacs5452]

Can I just say how amazing the production quality is? The video ended up much more interesting than what I thought it'd be: a timelapse of eating free snacks in front of blurred screens.

[@jacoboblanco1555]

Yes! People always ask for my help and swear they’ll never understand how I know the stuff I know. Honestly the only difference between me and them is that i didn’t give up. When an error comes up or code doesn’t work just don’t give up! If you just keep on not giving up, you’ll eventually see every bug and problem and you’ll be able to spot errors in other peoples code and not make those mistakes. Google is your friend. Frustration is your friend, swim in it, live in it. Eventually it loses its sting.

[@KenianoKen]

She tells the truth about having a dream job

[@herisusanto2654]

She looks still really young but already got her dream job....Working as software developer in a big tech company is awesome...

[@MrJohnLennonPlz]

People don't understand the title "A Day with a Berlin Developer"... means like "Spending the day with a Berlin Developer" (On her free day).

[@TheMisterPvp]

Yeah so pretty much anybody since the job isn't involved. It doesn't make sense to put the job in the title if you're not going to show how the day is influenced by it.

[@julien8097]

but who give a **** about her free day .. wtf

[@iguatemigarin]

They changed the title, it used to be "A day in the life of a Soundcloud Developer"

[@Heizung5FensterKipp]

11:08 damn , that unlucky timing for the young lady. I love how shes instant walking away to the next door :D

[@alexlun4464]

So I guess soundcloud developers talk about their life stories on a daily basis right? Sign me up!

[@shnooog1]

I expected more 'developer' side of the story, while it is more focused on Berlin itself, but it's ok. What I didn't like, however, was that shadows were not cast at all. You skimmed a thin layer off of a cute girl's hip-as-hell life in a fluffy, dreamy pair of lenses. Making a living, day by day is something much bigger than that. If you want real viewership, my suggestion is that you touch beneath the surface, where the real substance lies in.

[@gfunkonthecheesetree]

Yep, programming is like punching walls everyday. The feeling is great though once you figure out something you spent so much time mulling over.

It is good that she mentioned that she still struggles with getting her code to work. It is great for new and not so new developers to hear that from people in the industry especially ones that work for high profile companies. That said I have to echo some of the other comments disappointed with the lack of expansion on the actual development part of life. Still I found the video to be enjoyable nonetheless.

I'm so grateful that I work my dream job as a software developer in one of the biggest companies in the world, but working in an office in a small European country. I never felt the need to relocate to another country, because we are probably on one of the first places in good software developers. And no pressure, great team, great projects. Sadly not a lot of companies are like that.
