It's so nice the recognition you give to the junior developer, that is very humble. Good on you!!!!

@@fullstackDan Hi, I-m looking for a job as a junior backend dev, I-m changing careers, can you give me some advices to land my first job in the world of software dev?, thanks

[@super-bi5xv]

@@juanpabloalvarezovallehey, im a 17 year old trying to get back into coding and hopefully, becoming a software dev, Im very interested in the backend but im not 100 percent sure if it would be for me. whats it like? What languages do you use/ prefer for the back end?

[@sytnoff1]

​@@super-bi5xvhope you will find it out soon. I'm 15 and doing c++ for hobby and fun , hope I will do great I did my 1 month basic stuff already,now I suggest to learn JavaScript and react as it framework,hope it helps , do a little leet codes practice too

[@littlemoonvlog]

i love the pov.. its really satisfying to watch a pov style on work vlog!

[@The_Jishan]

As a hardly coping CSE undergrad, these kinds of videos are what keeps me going.

[@fullstackDan]

keep going, you can do it! 👊

[@atikkhochikar_5352]

Than you are wrong😂😂

I really hope your channel blows up sooner or later, really good content and quality. Keep up the good work!

Nice video! im student right now, but im hoping to move to Australia as a Software Engineer one day. Keep up!

[@sirychrissy]

Nice video! I'm very envious of the working enviroment displayed in the video!😍

[@kwistore2022]

A spirit-warming video, hope you make more videos about programmers ^^ Nice day Dan :)

[@HackAlert1]

I am a student pursuing computer science engineering btw I love the idea of hybrid work as someone who won't prefer working from home completely or going to office daily, it's a perfect match

[@fullstackDan]

I love it too!

[@undeath4ever]

Hey loved the vid, just a quick tip for the cooking part. Slice the onion horizontally and vertically. You will get very fine chunks instead of long stripes (unless you are into that). And don't scrape the sharp side of the knife across the cutting board...it will get dull very quick.

[@jonanddy]

i think yellow onions should be diced most often than not and most of the time I feel like red onions are better to have "striped" unless you're making salsa. personally, i think their method was justified for the meal they were making

[@RKlearnscode]

nice vid Dan! Also a Sydney-sider so this is refreshing to watch!

[@fullstackDan]

I appreciate it! :D

[@unsupervisednonsense6663]

As someone who has mainly worked trades all my life, this type of freedom in your workday looks awesome. I have recently moved to Sydney from NZ to pursue this type of career currently working my way through the Odin project.

[@kamal-hassan]

4:29 wow what a respect! I usually leave the door even if someone is coming after me, but lesson learned!

[@fullstackDan]

yeah right? no harm in being nice to other people :)

[@khanhchung5207]

Hi Dan, the first developer I saw using Surface Pro. I was about to buy it for my software engineering major but worried about its performance and heat due to workload such as running multiple docker containers. How do you feel about using it when work with heavy workloads? Do you running WSL2 or Dual boot with Linux? Thanks :)

[@fullstackDan]

hey there! I'm planning to create a video just for it, but I'm not a big fan of WSL2 for development as it just increases the memory usage. If I want to use Linux I dual boot as you mentioned. Other than that, I think the surface is great for students as you can also take notes, the surface pen is great. But if you need a really powerful device (gaming, rendering), the surface isn't the right choice)

[@khanhchung5207]

@@fullstackDan Thank you for your detailed explantion. I just bought my SF9 today and it is really good. I don't believe that I missed this beautiful thing for a long time

[@albertsaez4998]

@@fullstackDan Hello! I'm very interested in that video, specially in the dual boot linux part. I love the device but I don't like Windows for dev work. I'm subscribing.

[@tomswan3401]

I’m using Linux in a virtual machine, when I need to develop under linux, also on surface pro (sp) 6 or sp 9. One needs in general 16gb ram on surfaces, 8 gb works also but for lighter tasks.

[@emreaka3965]

It's interesting to see a dev not using MacBook by the way :D. Also, I've been working for six months and have never been to the office yet. I kinda want it but also don't because of the traffic and stuff. I'm in a different city than the office tho.
