A Week in the Life of a Monzo Developer #3

[@BabulaRef]

Sweet baby Jesus, a regular upload schedule. I must be dreaming

[@pin689]

He finally read channel title maybe

[@siyo4]

I work as a backend developer for a travel company in London and you'd think that I'd have had enough of developer life by the end of a long week but I actually really look forward to your videos

[@stephfh]

I know exactly what you mean. I guess that's a good thing though, means we're not fed up with our careers. :D

[@jamiehalldev]

Glad I'm not the only person who takes there watch off when they sit at their desk

[@m.a.r1982]

Jamie Hall 😐 ooookkkk

Wow dude you are sooo lucky you got a pic with f0rest goat

[@ottocodes]

You are my new favorite youtuber! 🙂 Your vlogs are really good and they inspire me a lot.

[@Oscar-if6lq]

So happy to see another upload. That lady that made the list of all the places to visit seemed nice

[@aarond9563]

I'm loving the frequency of these videos. I can't watch now because I'm at work but I can't wait to watch this later tonight.

[@daverossy]

I think you sound like a really decent person, as you’re relatively young and in a tech lead role, how do you find it? I can imagine the technology side of things probably doesn’t phase you but how about the people side of things? Offering advice and guidance to your team for people who could be older or more experienced than you. How do you manage that process?

[@leonmaughan]

+1 I’d love to hear you answer this

[@mariscotesgerald174]

He's actually an experienced programmer

[@daverossy]

Gerald Mariscotes I don’t doubt that for a moment, but the role of a tech lead is far more than just being a good programmer, it’s being a good mentor, decision maker and communicator. You become responsible for other people in your team and the team as a whole, generally tech leads don’t do much programming, they use their previous programming experience among other qualities to make decisions and provide technical and non-technical direction for developers.

[@huhulili9021]

Imo its not about who is senior or such and such, in tech its a good practice to share what u know/learnt, so its not uncommon for such situation to occur

[@emilspdeverachannel]

Wow so cool very interesting

[@hrududu1690]

There isn't much room between desks and the desk of the person sitting behind you. 2nd hand claustrophobia :) Also the person who did the personalised map of Berlin is a legend, what a nice thing to do

[@aculeus1971]

Hrududu agreed. Love that personalised map idea, especially if the person compiling it has spent some serious time there or lived there. It’s actually a great idea for a ‘where to eat’ plan for an area like Liverpool St area near the Monzo (and my) office ... I live nowhere near London and so I tend to pick places I’m familiar with ... probably walking past some great places to eat...

[@MrSammotube]

I can't believe you work next door to where I was working for the past 2 years and keep walking past the door in your vlogs!

[@jameshay1994]

Really enjoy watching this guy, he always seems so down to earth and such a nice person

[@nothingiseverperfect]

that clip of all of you just eating on those step was so like - soothing and then transitions back to work - I really like that like lunch atmosphere and the music - it was just really nice

[@psyno1856]

bingo looks like such a good boi

[@ankitaburman5406]

I accidentally stumbled upon your video and now I am binge watching it all ..kind of addicting the way you vlogs are made ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@amandashen4642]

I figured why I am so fond of your vlogs, you just like an old friend and share things with us. You didn't try to do something special to attract viewers and you just be yourself. Always feel comfortable and relaxing while watching them. Keep it up and I will always be your fan.

[@jaykay6249]

0:30 Glad to see someone tying the knot the right way.

[@CalBruin]

Jay Kay , I do not get your comment. Other than a direct knot, how else may on e be expected to tie their shoes?

[@jaykay6249]

Some people make two loops and then tie them together instead of making one loop and passing the other end around and below it.

[@CalBruin]

@@jaykay6249 that must be that quick knot tie that was so popular some decades back. Supposed to be more efficient and quick but the method I learned works just as well but behind by .02 seconds.

[@marianouvalle895]

There's something about your videos that I really enjoy, keep them coming!

[@tamerjaber6987]

Jake! You have an amaaaaazing & friendly team 🎉👼❤ All the best mate 💪

[@amandashen4642]

The dog is sooooo adorable and you are cuteeeee too. I am looking forward to your next video about Berlin trip.

[@rodgersmith7995]

OMG, I feel so old watching this! Monzo is awesome! keep up the good work...

Just applied for my monzo card this week :)

[@93dssagar]

We need more videos of Monzo !

[@robbierob5178]

When I saw your opening, all I could think was the James Bond theme song...Another great, day-at-the-office, vlog. I can't wait for Berlin.

[@snehabhat4876]

I feel You're channel is underrated. You're videos are very informative and aesthetic.

[@telanos2492]

Some things: 1) Is Bingo the office pet, or does someone bring him in? 2) Group lunch at 4:40 - This looks like it could belong in some promotional video to work at Monzo. Was this staged? Also, it seems like everyone at Monzo is in their 20s. 3) 7:15 Look at those miniature butcher knives! Now I'm asking myself why I don't know places like this! I imagine date night with Jake would be amazing.

[@jakewrightnet]

1) someone brings him in - there are quite a lot of dogs in the office at any one time but Bingo is probably in the most often 2) No this wasn't staged, but we realised at the time it looked that way.

[@sjbykerchick]

Jake Wright what breed of dog is he? He’s really cute! Love your videos FYI, keep it up

[@LoFiCornerASMR]

It all looks so inspiring! But the regular vlog timetable is something old-school, though, and it's cool, hope you'll keep it up, Jake)

[@jefferyosei101]

I'm now addicted to your vlogs at work 😅

[@xDaZedx112]

Can you elaborate on the purpose and format of the 'one to one' ? Traditionally Id expect it to be with a direct manager about performance but judging by who you went on one with seems more of a mentoring style?

[@coderandcream]

Dude...you are my new favorite, keep vlogging! i like that Lady who handed you the map...her hair looks cool :P

[@MauriceBln1]

I think he loves his job more than anything. As often as he films about it. ;)

And all white, no asians, no blacks no other origins, why is that?

[@ReagueOfRegends]

@@rashedmiah1 The UK is a European country my friend, it will predominantly be native Europeans (i.e. whites.)

[@saad-ul4mr]

When you go on metro, I'm remembering the videos with Rats about "Rat Race"

[@Harshulnarang1]

Jake... that’s your forth video in a month. Are you okay? 😂 Seriously though, loving this! P.s: Bingo is so cute! And you said you’ve got other dogs at your office? Could you maybe have them cameo in a video? :p

[@franklinoladipo2343]

Hi Jake. Thanks for the vlog. How many minutes break do you get for a day at Monzo?

Have thought of moving before to work for an english company abroad but my worry is the translation of apps do they usually have language experts that deal with that from belfast my self.

[@ewsclass66]

Do the company offer windows laptops as well as Macs?

[@pehash]

Monzo seems a good company, not many accept pets in the office and the people working there seem happy and productive.

[@danian686]

the dog is the best of this video

I wish I worked in this company. Looks pretty awesome

Sir, what is you age?

[@captainjamyftw]

I would hate a quiet open plan office. I would need music because the sounds of people typing and making all sorts of small noises would drive me crazy, and if I had headphones, the fact that I'd be annoying others with my typing etc would piss me off too. I'd rather my own office with no music, but obviously that's impossible in the UK.

[@CalBruin]

Love the 80s like montage music. Is there any culture divide between those who use Macs vs those who use PCs or Linux?

[@jakewrightnet]

Everyone uses a Mac at Monzo - you don't get the choice. That might change in the future but the reasoning so far is that it's easier to manage (provisioning laptops, providing tech support, tooling that engineers use, etc.) if everyone is using the same OS.

[@lunedfrancis2768]

🎶'and Bingo was his name o' 🎶

[@ssboxer]

Does anyone black work at Monzo? Asking for me.

[@Carl-yu6uw]

Maybe they got one black security guard on the main door, and an "old" white guy changing the toner cartridges and delivering odds and sods to desks. Maybe. Seriously, where is the diversity?

[@diegoforlan2324]

you do realize that there are other reasons for why it might not be as diverse. Maybe black people living in the UK are more likely to in another field of work? Also, this is an edited video and so Jake might just gonna vlog people who comfortable with being vlogged (such as younger people). Monzo aren't ageist.

[@diegoforlan2324]
