Excellent mix of comedy and great narration!

[@ApplicableProgramming]

Thanks man, glad you liked it! May I ask how you ended up on the video?

[@emredikmen276]

Thanks for a fun and educational video.

[@ApplicableProgramming]

Thanks for watching man, welcome to the video!

[@ElasticSea]

Your channel is pure gold

[@ApplicableProgramming]

Thank you very much sir. It would be awesome if you share it with someone who might find it useful

[@ElasticSea]

@@ApplicableProgramming I will share this with everyone I know

[@eddiemarin9417]

This was really cool, educational and even insparing in some way, cheers from Mexico.

[@ApplicableProgramming]

Thank you mister! Greetings from Norway to Mexico

[@parijke]

Very funny, enjoyed it very much. Like the elevated desk as well!

[@ApplicableProgramming]

Thanks Paul, glad you liked it. Desk is definitively a nice feature, I had to buy one for home office as well. Not using it enough though to be honest

[@b4rt1j1]

Hi Dalibor, I wanted to thank you so much for everything you are doing for us. I'm very lucky I found your channel when I started learning PHP ~9 months ago and watched all your videos since. Beside very usefull informations about programming itself like design patterns, building app from scratch etc. you also taught me how to approach the problem and how to think about solution. I got a job in Prague few months ago as self-taught backend PHP developer and I'm very happy in that company. Looking forward for your next video, wish you the best!

[@ApplicableProgramming]

Thanks for sharing this with me man, so glad you got to a good path. But you did earn it yourself, you know that right ;) Just keep working on yourself and your skills, and salt is the limit :) Why programming though, if i may ask?

[@b4rt1j1]

@@ApplicableProgramming I like to try or at least find some informations about things that are very new to me and how they work under the hood - that's how I started learning, building small web applications on my local server. I like about programming how a single problem can be solved in so many different ways, how cleanly a complex feature can be written if OOP is used wisely and last but not least (mostly) every problem I've encountered in my new job so far was unique in some way.. it's not really repetitive job, which is great :)

[@ApplicableProgramming]

@@b4rt1j1 that is a good reason :) it is like playing with legos. You have some elements, some blocks, and some strategies that might or might not work :)

[@vincentlance377]

@@ApplicableProgramming Most Welcome. I've been a subscriber for a while now that is how I got to the video.

[@ApplicableProgramming]

Nice, thanks for hanging around. Do you work with PHP? I might have asked before but forgot sorry

[@vincentlance377]

@@ApplicableProgramming I don't actually, still in University, mostly work with Java and Python ( Django , Open-CV module) for my own projects. Hoping to land a job in USA or Canada (Montreal - don't know why but I love its ambience) after I finish University. Norway seems awesome judging from this video, might look into it as well, though USA salaries are really tempting when looking at other travel options.

[@ApplicableProgramming]

@@vincentlance377 o yeah definitively. I actually had a US job offer before coming to Norway, somehow I think it suits the family life a bit better, since we were about 30 when we decided to move

[@AndrewErwin73]

I visited Norway back in the 90's... LOVED IT! Love the people. Might retire there, who knows.

[@ApplicableProgramming]

That sounds cool. Having that said, a lot of people from here retire in Spain on some islands or something like that

[@dalcod]

Just loving the content. I work remotely, but incompatible hours with my team (Canada and Australia time) - my standup meetings are just as yours lol

[@ApplicableProgramming]

Well thank you very much ሳሙL, glad you liked it :) What are you working with if I may ask?

[@rossdevflow]

Great video, made me really want to visit Norway!

[@ApplicableProgramming]

Thanks Rodrigo, for me it is a blessing just to be able to wake up here everyday, and be the part of the bigger picture. Small things right..

[@MrFluteboy1980]

1:50 - was that an Eminem reference!?? Brilliant!

I love this guy 😂, what language/framework you use at work ?

[@ApplicableProgramming]

Ahhh love you too Osaigbovo! We use angular + ionic + capacitor for mobile apps, and Angular for web version (one day probably unified client). Are you a frontend programmer as well?

[@nareksilisalata]

This is my dream. Have a peaceful and calm life in Norway… I will start studying Software Engineering in 2025 and make my first step for this kind of life! Let’s see, maybe I will comment on this comment section again, when I make it true 😂 bye till 2030!

[@ApplicableProgramming]

sounds like a plan :) but also, it is ok to change plans as well I will keep your word

[@nareksilisalata]

@@ApplicableProgramming you’re absolutely right! Plans can definitely change. But my Norway plan will probably not change… I don’t want to be in big cities anymore (Berlin 3(years), Istanbul (6 years), other German cities, Greece for some months) I just really want a calm place that is well harmonised with nature… thank you and lovely greetings from Germany 🫶🏻

[@ApplicableProgramming]

Norway sounds like a place to go then :) it has its downsides as well, but.. everything is a compromise :)

[@nikolastarcic9558]

Is it realistic to get a programming job in Norway if you're from balkans?

[@ApplicableProgramming]

Well if you ask me, I made the video about working in Norway, and I am from Balkans :) So... define realistic I guess :) Easy not that much, but not extremely difficult as well. Like everything in life, if it is easy for you, then it is not worth doing it

[@code9954]

You are living a dream life.

[@ApplicableProgramming]

Ah... thanks, it sure sounds like that when composed in a video :)

[@code9954]

@@ApplicableProgramming You get weekends off and family time. That's a luxury in a software engineer's life.

[@ApplicableProgramming]

@@code9954 that is true... we take it for granted here, but I do try to remind myself that many of people I know do not have that luxury. where do you live/work if I may ask?

[@ApplicableProgramming]

Haha, yeah.. the typical circle of programming. Do you still do it in the morning, start with the heavy tasks?

[@DC-yw5yg]

@@ApplicableProgramming yeah when all meetings are. Should probably try the heavier ones when i have more free time in the afternoon to think plan and execute

[@hanibalarko]

what's your table model, is it from IKEA?

[@ApplicableProgramming]

I do not know what model it is, I tried to find it, but noone knows, and it doesn't have any branding. It has Linak motors, that I read are quite good, which I also purchased at home for my desk. But the desk brand is usually some Scandinavian company, I would guess Kinnarps or something similar. It is not an ikea desk, they do not have desks like that one

[@hanibalarko]

@@ApplicableProgramming ty, what are the table top dimensions? Just thinking to buy 49 inch monitor and worried about 160x80 won't be enough.

[@ApplicableProgramming]

@@hanibalarko The table in the office is 160x80 or 90, and for the office it is more then enough. 49 inch is 121cm in width, so it has good place for all I need in the office. as the matter of fact, at home I have the same monitor and my desk is 120 x 80, and it fits. It is a small office, but it works just fine for what I need. You can see it briefly near the end of this video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6PNXp-Cm7aGe7s

Stop lane splitting near the trucks.

Hehe, I usually do it only when the trucks are about to stop like on the video, but yeah, makes sense... I vision myself going under the wheels every time I go near any truck, kinda helps me not take too much risk
