Watching ppl my age living my dream life while I’m here working at warehouse 💀

[@SammyA12]

Keep working bro! I also worked at a warehouse and I made it into IT there which got me a nice hybrid job at an office where I’m now working towards becoming a software engineer with a plan to switch positions in the company soon! Anything is possible as long as you keep working towards it

[@isxckle]

@@SammyA12how did you make it into IT if you worked at a warehouse?

[@SammyA12]

@@isxckle we had an IT department in the warehouse. I started as an equipment coordinator there and learned the ropes for technician work.

[@isxckle]

You guys should watch the Goatis video about him in this video.

[@rockstar-kp2jy]

I love how they provide a shuttle bc Seattle isn't safe.

[@citylovesme]

Why isn't it safe?????!

[@rockstar-kp2jy]

@citylovesme zombies, so many druggies. Its dystopian, so many millionaires out eating / shopping and extreme poverty on the same street. Wild.

[@locaCoco0]

I'm currently a sophomore in college and majoring in Software Engineering. I want to know if you were thinking if software engineering isn't for you in some point in your life? I was thinking to change my major just because I was scare that coding will be too hard for me and I will just forget the methods and all that but I want to know your take. I am actually happy on my decision to stay in my major. :) Videos like these motivate me. Even though it is not easy, it is the same way with other coding careers.

[@masegraye]

Man... that Meta cafeteria and microkitchens def contributed to my "FB 15" weight gain.

[@calvinxli]

I definitely experienced an initial spike myself 😆

[@Gatehouse00]

6:16 Need to work on your Transparency, try using a different angle. It has a pro and con look whether if your lifestyles secure with your professional skill. I'm in dire need for employment but I use Gifs, or Stickers with filters and transitions to obscure. Nice idea with the walking pad and mental health thing, and vacations and what to do with you time that was a fun chapter to learn my first year!

[@MaziSaidSo]

Day in the life videos are finally back !

[@therphlgarcia]

Would love to see a what's in my bag video! Or like an EDC (everyday carry) going to work 😊

[@calvinxli]

It's been in the backlog for a long time but I've had a hard time prioritizing it 🙈

[@therphlgarcia]

@@calvinxli hope you could make it Calvin. Great video as always btw! 🥳

Ik this video from ages 😂 but I watch ma man to whatever he uploads. ❤ Always waiting for new stuff.

[@piyushkumar-xn5ff]

Hoping to reach at this height of my life too, Currantly working as software engineer at a start-up

[@MA-zu9tz]

Awesome videos! Would you rahter choose the 16 inch macbook or the 14 inch macbook if you had the choice?

[@calvinxli]

Thank you! For work I definitely prefer 16. For personal use I'd probably do a 15 inch MacBook Air.

[@dc37wwe2kmods]

Hey man! What's the brand of the white keyboard of yours? Looks slick!

[@calvinxli]

It's from Lofree! I have a link and discount code for it on my website: www.calvinxli.com/gear

[@Gregmaster]

going to start work at Meta as a Software Engineer starting in March. Your channel is inspiring me to make a new channel for periodic day in the life vlogs :)

[@ClutchGene]

Why 3-4 months from now?

[@piez797]

Great video! Your productivity tips are really useful.

[@calvinxli]

Thank you! I'm so glad you found the tips helpful!

[@simsim9299]

Great tips and content, keep it up.

Where can I buy that white keyboard

[@clatttheman3550]

Real ones know this was a reupload and will watch all the ads

[@AniketSingh-nx4ds]

What was wrong with the original one

[@calvinxli]

My man 🙏 The audio towards the end was only playing through the left channel which sounded horrible from say, a phone speaker. It's also awkward from headphones because you'd only hear me talking through one ear 😔

[@SonGoku-cq6bh]

But i got KZbin premium tho! So no ads 😅

[@JEFFREY808915]

Nice video, I have a question, What is the model of the keyboard?

[@calvinxli]

Thank you! The keyboard is the Lofree Flow, I have it linked with a discount code on my website: www.calvinxli.com/gear

[@Django_python-y5g]

hello, how much time it take to land job and can you tell me that how is that possible to land job and how many hours should spend coding and how old are you can you answer my questions, thank you)

[@pelangos]

Love seattle, would love to work there!!

[@oppoppi99]

I've gotta question, do you have lot's of meetings or miscellaneous tasks to do? I'm jealous of having so much time for coding!

[@calvinxli]

My meeting load is usually not bad. I spend a lot of time planning and investigating stuff.

[@omar-elsayed6296]

Wish if i can live as you after 4 years

[@gigsnicky]

Your typing speed in impressive 😮

[@nosleepnico]

Great content! This is what I want to do, ideally! I'm currently in a boot camp, and I probably would have taken a different route if I had done more research. 😂 I'm building my first SPA, and man coding is complicated. I lose patience! Sometimes, I just want to throw my laptop across the room. 😂 Do you have any advice for us trying to make this a career?

[@sibivishtan5903]

your jacket looks cool, can you provide where you bought it?

[@calvinxli]

I believe the link is in the description

[@calvinxli]

I'll try my best

[@MomentswithNuwanthie]

Nice vlog. 😍

[@palharez]

Really nice video, I was missing your posts! This ability of code review is really tough. I try my best at my current team, but they're really experienced, so it's hard to contribute.

[@calvinxli]

Code review is a good way to learn!

[@firpeapa9175]

[@zer0pilgrim]

Hi, Calvin 👋🏼 Great discussion on wlb, and it’s definitely learned and a lot of trial & error. 😅 As an aside, where did you get your living room bookshelf?

[@calvinxli]

Hello and thank you! I think the shelf was from Wayfair although I can't seem to find it in my order history. You should be able to find similar ones if you search for "Etagere".

[@simonm.6586]

Hi Calvin, I enjoy very much watching your videos, they inspire me a lot. I started learning programming by myself for one month now (HTML / CSS / JS as an introduction) and I'm kind of afraid to see how much AIs can do. I'm dreaming about landing a software developper job one day but I'm very far from understanding everything for now so I would love to know what you think about the famous "AI is going to replace developpers" topic ?

[@soymaxxing]

what level? e4,5,6?

[@ciscocode]

you so good this video. i am from venezuela, are you goat bro

[@Divyv520]

Hey Calvin , really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with more Quality Editing in your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail and also help you with the overall youtube strategy and growth ! Pls let me know what do you think ?
