day in the life of a senior software engineer (helping my mentees get a six figure tech job)

[@letphil]

Please share with us below, what are you currently struggling with as a programmer right now? I would love to hear your story. Just reach out! ❤

[@jayzg60]

@@letphil big picture getting a job. Small picture figuring out this simple node js bug 😅

[@EmmanuelSaints]

Right now I'm struggling JS ES6 and Frameworks and Tailwind because its been 5 years since i code the tech and trends to day is way to far for my skill and i think I'm left behind. I hope that you'll give me a step by step or Blueprint to master JS and other JS Frameworks. Thank you so much sir Phillip.

[@minsooyoo]

Agreed

[@letphil]

:) thanks for being part of it

[@raveloicaro]

Honestly I was giving up to study and get my papers from grad. But since I discovered your channel, i'd return to this world. You're awesome man. Thanks a lot

[@letphil]

This makes my day man. Hope you never give up and reach your goals 🔥

[@unknownworld9815]

you should stop smoking man, just a word of advice. I know it'll help you relieve stress from coding and other stuff but your health will just deteriorate.

[@letphil]

I know you’re right. I’m trying too! I’ve cut back a lot, to just one a day! Progress over perfection

[@jayzg60]

Highly recommend try rolling your own cigarettes. Will cut back significantly since you can make them smaller also and arguably a healthier than pack cigarettes

[@xYesin]

Nice video bro! Love from Norway✌🏽😊

Thank you for being here!

Hey man, I’m from the Philippines. I recently stumbled upon your video yesterday, and I just want to say your content is really good. Keep up the great work, mate! I’m also studying coding, but with the help of AI xd. (20 years old)

[@letphil]

Thank you bro for tuning in! Please come say hello sometimes in the discord and ask me questions in there if you need me

[@letphil]

Thank you brother

[@WebDevJapan]

very cool

[@letphil]

Thank you for watching! How’s Japan as a developer?

[@WebDevJapan]

​@@letphil For me, it's been great! I'm 15 months into my first tech job. I also got into coding after 30 years old. My job is fully remote and it's not a typical Japanese company. No overtime, flex schedule, etc. You wanna do a day in the life video in Japan? Or I go to Korea?

[@letphil]

hey sorry for the late reply. please email me for more details. it sounds cool to hangout. Coming to Korea would be cool. i can start traveling again in March.

[@WebDevJapan]

@@letphil Let's do it! I need an excuse for my first ever visit to Korea!

[@letphil]

Let’s set it up! Maybe February or March?

[@enmanuelfrias7611]

just taking your advice and commenting to put my thoughts out, I'm about to finish Harvard CS50 and I have a final project in mind but I'm scared to submit it because I want to use this idea as a future business later and I watched a lot of SWE shows where they get bit in the ass because of the fact they built something under someone else. any ideas ? sorry if its too opened ended but I'm self taught I want to get to to japan ASAPPPPPPPPP>

[@letphil]

Thank you for your comment. Don't worry about that because there are so many projects being submitted. There aren't that many malicious people trying to steal your ideas in these courses. It's not about the idea, it's about the execution. It's not about what you are going to do, it's about how you do it. Do what would be the best for your learning.

[@Joshuahendrix]

I do believe nicotine helps the cognitive function but smoking it is definitely not the best route, I say this as a smoker myself. I am trying to switch to gum so I can still get my nicotine

[@letphil]

I agree. I can try that for sure

[@ScottHenshaw]

@@letphil they got Nicorette at the pharmacies here

[@jayzg60]

What kind of monitor are you using and hpw big is that 👀

[@letphil]

thank you for your comment. it's from a Korean company Hansung www.superstore.co.kr/item/item.html?pn=85242 , the size of the monitor is 39 inches. i like a big monitor. they are nice to work on.

[@sharanchakradhar]

Can I still start a coding journey after 33? Im good at basic DSA and Rust. Im already working as a Data Eng but I want to get into developer roles. DO you think is it possible?

[@letphil]

Of course you can. Try and don’t give up. It’s a skill you can practice at home with just a laptop. 💻 reach out in discord to me if you need help

[@richarddelaltre8804]

Is it neccessary to study/master leetcode?

[@letphil]

@@richarddelaltre8804 thank you for your comment. for passing coding interviews yes. but for the actual job, no. doesnt hurt to know some searching concepts or things of that nature though
