Day in a Remote Software Developer's Life

[@dominicmichaelraj]

Cool vlog. The Bentley scene was really funny 😊 Thanks for sharing!

[@AivarsMeijers]

Yeah that's funny how they are next to each other :)

[@jtm_33]

This man has the voice of "Giorgio By Moroder" by Daft Punk! Its amazing!! Good video!!!

[@AivarsMeijers]

Yeah, accents are fun. English is my third language.

[@petersuvara]

Had my AirPod pros for over a year, they’ve been through mountain runs in the pouring rain, over continents from freezing Russian winters to Hot Australian Summers. So really surprised you had your headphones replaced three times.

[@AivarsMeijers]

Apple never will confirm that, but I heard rumours that they had bad batch in beginning of production. There are plenty of people online complaining about similar issue. Apple just replace those headphones. Perhaps I'm unlucky and getting replacements from the same - bad headphone batch :( I had 1st generation AirPods before, those were fine until batteries died after about 4 years of using.

I had the Sony xm3 and I returned them after a week. I decided to buy the Bose 700 instead the build quality is so much better.

[@AivarsMeijers]

Interesting. I never had Bose and was on fence buying them when realised that forgot to take AirPods Pro with me to Portugal. Somy mx4 are on last months of warranty, if they will die or will be not repairable I will consider Bose as an option.

[@leoingson]

@@AivarsMeijers Bose has better user interface (buttons instead of those dreadful gestures). Noise cancellation (and sound) are better with Sony, tho. Compared both for a week, and took the Sonys mx3. Girlfriend was surprised, how much better the Sonys are.

[@FI-BB]

Interesting video :) and your desk top is amazing. By the way, what is the app calendar are you using in the beginning of the video?

[@AivarsMeijers]

That is task management app. Omnifocu 4 beta version.

[@beunmin6]

I owe next stand for 2 years. It's durable and very versatile. I'm just saying from experience.

[@AivarsMeijers]

Yep, mine is even older than 2 years. I'm using it in trips only, but it holds for more than 4 years already.

[@Javier-sz4pp]

Hi! Just checking your content and it’s great! Keep the good work. Just have a question: I’m starting as a front end developer, and in your experience in a normal formal job, how much time do you expend in real coding? I read somewhere that in a job is something like 20% of your time will be real coding. Regards!

[@AivarsMeijers]

20% sound way too little, but that depends on company and role in it. Imagine if you are team lead or system architect, then you have to manage other people, have a ton of meetings and have to write documentation as well. Then maybe that can be 20%, but still feels too litle. For junior that mostly coding + some meetings, but I can't see that you could spend 80% of time in them.

[@guillaumed4145]

Hi friend maybe try shure, sennheiser or beyerdynamic for Bluetooth headphones

[@AivarsMeijers]

Will see what will happen with the sony, if they will be not repairable, I will look for something else

[@ShredzZ]

Do I need apple developer account or its not necessary if I want to be full time freelance iOS dev?

[@AivarsMeijers]

you need Apple developer account if you wan't publish Apps in the AppStore. Customer should have their own account and publish Apps from it.

[@istbanane]

Oh, what brand of coffee machine and what brand of coffee is this at the beginning of the video? Looks very small and manageable.

[@AivarsMeijers]

That is Cino Pinta - Nespresso® Compatible espresso machine. Bought it for my wife to have decent coffee at work.

[@be_vadim5672]

Bentley is not my dealership 😂 Grab some junk food (McDonalds) 😂

[@AivarsMeijers]

Yeah, still growing :D

[@leonardoscherer567]

where does this guy lives? everything looks so beatiful

[@AivarsMeijers]

I'm living in Latvia

[@thed.m.3305]

My name is dhruv I am graphic designer 2 year experience UI/ux designer Can you help me work?

[@leoingson]

Hey Aivars. How many hours freelancing do you do per day? And how many hours are there for your own projects per week?

[@AivarsMeijers]

Currently I have contract with 8h work per day on it. So, those are full time job hours on freelancing. Additionally to that work I'm trying to spend 2+ hours on my own projects per day. Sometimes that more, sometimes less, but it is hard to measure. For example - answering to this comment. Is it work on my projects (KZbin) or free time? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@luisocon1989]

Nice hair!

[@AivarsMeijers]

Thank you!! I made them by myself, you can get one as well: aivarsmeijers.com/store

[@SwiftDeveloperWorld]

Why people pay 💰 for IOS application developers to develop one for them?

[@AivarsMeijers]

Not sure I understand your question, for me it sounds similar to - Why do people pay dentists to fix their teeth?

[@SwiftDeveloperWorld]

@@AivarsMeijers I really need one to talk about this important thing, sorry for my long comment 🙏, yes I agree people pay for their health, but how could an application help people? Without applications humans can still live on the other hand It's useful for communication, social media or as a hobby (video games) , but there are million ones free and ready to use for people and companies
