7 Tools I Use as a Developer | Day in the Life of a Software Engineer

[@midnqp]

Everything is just so clean and minimalist and chill to watch! This is almost the perfect place for developers' day-in-life vlogs. Absolutely enjoyed every single moment of it. Have a great one, Brian!

[@brianruizy]

That’s the goal! Glad you enjoyed it 😁 btw don’t miss the new video!

[@MultiWarbird]

Brother, your videos are so high-end and refined, it's insane. You're like the Apple of software engineer videos, if that makes any sense. I get a major positive psychological neurological impact from watching your videos, it's like therapy.

[@brianruizy]

Thanks for sticking around, and I’m super glad you find them helpful 😊 More to come!

Glad to have you back 😅

[@HaiLeQuang]

Arrived at 9 AM and left at 5PM. What a great life. This is unheard of at my workplace.

[@brianruizy]

I don’t think it’s too uncommon. Are you also a SWE? What city are you in?

[@andrewjames705]

Brian thank you for showing a realistic day in a life, and especially embracing AI, as a SWE. Many people try to shun and avoid AI especially ChatGPT because it'll "take peoples jobs away", but instead they don't see how it can really improve your productivity and accuracy in whatever you're doing while working. Great job!

[@brianruizy]

You couldn’t have said it better! Even the OpenAI founder says it’s supposed to be a tool. But of course you have to learn and adapt

[@jasinmarkuu]

A tool I pretty much would never want to be without is Raycast. So powerful. It's a spotlight replacement + a whole lot more.

I’ll def check that one out! Lots of others have recommended it too. Have you tried Alfred? Is it better than that?

@brianruizy I did use it and found it pretty useless because of the field I'm working in. My comment was sarcastic because no one need to write linked lists in python :) Based on my experience, If your field of work any different from standard webapps/basic datascience, all that AI stuff will produce garbage because of lack of the data it can operate on.
