This channel is so good. I love the raw day in the life.

[@letphil]

Hope it provided some value!

[@bigkilladave4017]

I dig this video. Something about the real talk and also seeing a bit into the real life then going into the code and managing is awesome to see. Really like this video, I have subscribed forsure. Much love brother.

[@letphil]

Thank you for your comment! I’ll keep grinding

[@minsooyoo]

Battling against the computer is our job as coders

[@ProDoc18]

Thank you for making us part of your day! I'll keep posting. Those bugs man. I go to war with my computer everyday.

Hey Phil I love this monitor and won’t mind if you tell me the name ??? Much appreciated

[@minsooyoo]

I think Phil said he was gonna do a desk setup video

This video was super nice 🥰

[@letphil]

Thank you 🙏

[@tars-tools]

First video of "A day in a life of a Senior Software Engineer being a DAD" that's harder than teaching someone how to program or being productive, if you have only 6 hours for productivity make them count. Respect for you Phillip

[@letphil]

Thank you for being here! Are you also a dad? Being a dad is definitely tough but it’s super rewarding to see my son grow! The grind never stops, wouldn’t have it any other way.

[@tars-tools]

@@letphil yeah bro father of two beautiful boys and also software engineer, I agree with you it's the most rewarding job I ever had

[@letphil]

@ thanks for being here. Congrats on two beautiful kids. Not sure if I can handle another one though haha.

[@CeddyOpina]

a programmer would never forget to drink coffee every hour.

[@letphil]

Especially when I was in the office, it was badddd

[@song4637]

Grind never stops

[@letphil]

Always readjust and overcome. Never stop.

[@williambarajas8090]

Your morning coffee for some reason looks enjoyable

[@letphil]

Thank you! It’s a good time for me to reflect and get ready for the day

[@alexanderpetranov]

Nice vlog guys! Coding Saves Lives!!! 🔥

[@letphil]

Thank you 🙏

[@letphil]

stay focused and keep your eye on the goal

[@jamessudimak1696]

Just curious, what is the black bar at the top of your monitor? Mic?

[@victoriousinsight]

It's called a monitor light bar. It's for lighting your desktop area. It comes in handy if the room is dark.

[@letphil]

It’s a monitor light bar yes!

[@Nobody2day553]

why do ppl put a lightbar on their monitor?

[@minsooyoo]

I think it’s to code in the dark haha

[@letphil]

It helps me dim the room light and still be able to code 🧑‍💻 mainly to set my atmosphere to really code hard

[@sanketsalve1063]

Hey Phil, I love your videos! I'm building an app with React, Node.js, and a self-hosted MongoDB. I have zero knowledge about deployment and am still new to React and all these technologies. Could you give me a quick overview of how to go about deployment? That would be a huge help. Thanks! ❤

[@letphil]

hey. thank you for your comment. there is a video about deployment in one of my earlier videos. how did you create your react app? if wanting to use mongo. u will need to open your public IP to use your self hosted mongo. or you can run mongo in docker or use atlas then get the mongo uri and connect. i suggest AWS for deploying on ec2 and u can do all in there. or u may use lightsail. or host the generated build files in s3 bucket and hook up your node.js that can run in ec2. then hook up the mongo from atlas. for staging purposes i suggest using docker and just running everything in a containers while your app is small. message me in discord and ill send you some stuff if you want

[@enmanuelfrias7611]

just started a trello for my personal development, i think it'll help me keep things more organized thank you for the tip

[@afiasheikh416]

Try pen and paper. Works 500 timss better.

[@letphil]

Definitely it is absolutely a game changer for me

[@wickstudioz]

I'm now looking to build on software engineering foundation by gaining practical experience and further refining my skills, with your expertise in the field, I’d greatly appreciate any guidance or mentorship you could offer, especially in areas like coding best practices, debugging, and contributing to development teams.

[@letphil]

Thanks for your comment. You can apply for my mentorship at letphil.com. Firstly, come join the discord and hit me up whenever I’m on!

[@icetmzz9074]

i would love to have a senior like you

[@letphil]

Thanks for your words!

[@Gangseo-gu]

Prediction: Phil shows up on an empty stomach, does six rounds of sparring, doesn’t take a sip of water, and still asking for more.

[@letphil]

🤣🤣🤣

[@euklidian-space]

catch (e) { throw e } ? errors as values padawan

[@letphil]

for me it is easy like that when working on frontend and backend at sametime. the moleculerclienterror will handle status code and i can handle the error more defined in the frontend, no?

cigarettes and coffee keys to success.

I’m slowly weening off more and more. I used to smoke a whole pack. I keep it to one a day now.

Something is better than nothing

Always 🔥

Hey Phil i request you please don't smoke brother

[@letphil]

i will def continue decreasing it

[@patriotlightning7791]

@@letphil It's very easy to lessen or even stop addictions on an empty stomach, you can try fasting :D

[@letphil]

I love fasting actually! I have my first meal at 12 pm KST

[@patriotlightning7791]

@@letphil Indeed, so many benefits, clear skin, shining eyes, a feeling of lightness, emotional calmness, clarity of mind, sharpened senses, more confidence, increased strength, less sleep, and a greater ability to overcome habits like smoking and drinking.

[@669jelly]

"Let's be cool Infront of uncle Minnie" lol your kiddo is so adorable. 🤍 Trying to speed through code, isn't effective as just maybe putting an 1 of 2 in and knowing exactly what is going on, understanding it.

[@letphil]

its still something i struggle with as a senior developer. always got to be conscious of it!
