Thanks so much for watching. Let me know if you’d like to see more of these vlog style/ day in the life videos as I’m still figuring out what to post on my channel. Trying to understand KZbin is hard 🫠

First of all, congratulations on your videos. They're light, didactic and enjoyable to watch. Secondly, the world needs more professionals like you. I've been through countless software companies and in all of them the discourse is to prioritize the client, but invariably deadlines aren't met, feedback isn't provided, and a huge amount of money is spent on a not-so-good delivery. I wish you all the best, success always and don't stop producing videos like this!

You are officially my FAVORITE Data Analyst!! I've watched several of your DITL videos watching what you actually do with all your lego in the background is just chef's kiss!! I'm learning to become a DA and collect and love lego too! I wish I could just sit and interview you and pick your brain a bit. Here you use software engineer and data analyst interchangeably and I'd love to learn how you differentiate the two. I'd also love to learn how long you've been doing DA and more about the transition into freelancing...and how you got the client base for the freelance portion of it. Also, where you live is beautiful and so green!!! I want to live in a place like this!! Thank you for sharing a realistic DITL with such a great insight into what the job actually entails!! This has been so affirming for me that when I'm done learning, I will actually love the work I'm doing! Thank You, Thank You!!

Thanks for sharing how you spend your day. It takes courage to be so transparent. Are you located in India? The cows along the road is the give-away. By the way, I like cows. I grew-up on a dairy farm in the USA before going to college to get two engineering degrees.

Ahh... I was listening to you talk and noticed you were using inline style css which I thought was weird because most Css is an another file... that is unless you're doing HTML Emails. Then you said you were doing Emails. hehehehe Can I ask where or how you learned to do HTML emails? it's very confusing using Tables.

@codingwithdee 7 ай бұрын

I’m going to be honest with you, my CSS baseline is terrible. lol! I really struggled with formatting html emails, it was really annoying because it shows up differently based on the email service provider. I honestly learned by trial and error which was painful. Unfortunately it is the cheapest way to get a report out to the client and still be able to customise it how they want.

Out of interest, why is your python script so badly organized ? It’s just one enormous chunk of code in-lined, i don’t see much OO design, no dependency injection - how do you test run unit tests on this code? If your code was submitted as a PR on my team, i would reject it HARD. Code that works is only the first step, you need to write well-engineered, well designed, well organized code that is broken up into independent units of functionality that can be unit tested. Your code looks like spaghetti - one huge file with very little structure. Not acceptable.

I've been a software engineer for 20+ years. There is best practice and then there is reality and getting work done very quickly for deadlines. I make $20,000 a month as a freelance software engineer and my code is spaghetti too. Deal with it 😎

@@Blimzio Oh gee, i make more than you as a principal C++ engineer. I write GOOD CODE that i'm proud of, and i don't sacrifice quality. You're just a shit engineer and you should be ashamed and i feel sorry for whoever has to maintain your mess, including yourself in 2+ years.
