Living the dream man, hope you had a blast ! 🤩 Great vid, makes me want to travel 💪

[@calvinxli]

Thanks, Romeo! Go get your travel in! Love your photography :)

[@nimeshawijewardana4120]

👏👍 Watching your videos motivate me to apply for a job in Meta 🙌

[@in.thegray]

Awesome video - living an absolute dream! This is the kind of life I’m working to have. 💛 Only a year or so to go for my BS in Computer Science 🙃

[@calvinxli]

Yes you can do it!

[@harishvj6598]

Wow, this video was really soothing to watch! I hope you'll be doing more of these ASMR videos

[@onlinealias622]

Original Joes food absolutely slaps, that was the highlight of a recent trip I took to SF

[@calvinxli]

🔥

[@MsCandyLuna]

I loved to see you traveling and eating delicious food ☺️ Your job looks really interesting.

[@calvinxli]

Thank you so much!

[@eastcoast4233]

Calvin you should do a gym/fitness focused video. Clearly you are a gym goer. Good video 👍

[@calvinxli]

Haha thanks. I'll consider making a fitness-related video, anything specific you'd like me to cover?

[@eastcoast4233]

@@calvinxli things you have found worked and not worked, how you fit it around your busy schedule, your goals and how you plan to achieve them. It’s interesting to see how creators differ - some reliant on personal trainers or gym buddies, others solo at 3am every now and again. I’m sure others with have different ideas 🤘

[@calvinxli]

@@eastcoast4233 I will keep this in mind. Thanks for the suggestions!

[@pranavsahu9010]

This EP was soo good Cavin keep uploading 👍

[@calvinxli]

Thank you!

[@miriamt2136]

There are areas of SF that are bad but not all. Chinatown, Pier 39 and Ferry Building.

[@chrisclevinger2912]

Here in the Philippines, when something doesn't go as expected, we would say "awit". Lol In some terms it means to sing but, it also means that you're not good with what you expected... Golden gate bridge, awit sayo hahahaha!

[@Divyv520]

[@jpenglish2542]

Ey broo!!! My friend, congratulations, everything is incredible. Question bro, what programming language do you work in? What are the programming languages that facebook recruits the most?

[@calvinxli]

I use Kotlin and Typescript right now but I don't think Meta recruiting cares about languages at all

[@jpenglish2542]

@@calvinxli Bro thank you so much, you are amazing. Someday I want to get into meta so I'm looking for the best way to do it.

[@dyjayem]

cool content🥳

[@calvinxli]

Thank you!

love From Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩

[@clismancruz2744]

What camara did you use to record this video? It looks fantastic 💯

[@calvinxli]

I use the Sony ZV-1 (and my phone). You can find links to my gear on my website in the video description!

[@JeromePullenJr]

How often do you have to be on-call? Does it apply to iOS Engineers as well?

[@calvinxli]

I think everybody is oncall. Frequency scales with team size. Mostly 1 week every X weeks with X being engineer count on the team.

[@JeromePullenJr]

@@calvinxli right on. Thank you!

[@VamshiKrishna-r6d]

Buddy why don't you decrease adding the titles down, I'm missing some clips because i was concentrating on your titles. Just a suggestion.

[@calvinxli]

Thanks for the suggestion! I do need to find the right balance.

[@ShaneCurtis1705]

THAT IS NOT HOW YOU MAKE A LATTE. I think im going to die watching that

[@calvinxli]

😂 rest in peace

[@luyuchen2544]

Hey man I am gonna join meta soon, and I am thinking where to live at Seattle. Would really appreciate your inputs!

[@calvinxli]

Hi Lu, congrats and welcome to Meta! I can't really give you input without knowing what you value.

[@luyuchen2544]

@@calvinxli The office is bellevue, and I am looking for a studio that is quite walkable to grocery / gym / office. Not a big fan for night life but couldn't hurt. Also I like cyling. So place close to bike routes would be a bonus.

[@calvinxli]

​​@@luyuchen2544I don't know much about Bellevue area but it's pretty safe and quiet in general. There's not much night life in Bellevue at all. I would just try to find a place that has AC. There's a gym on campus by the way. And if you want a place that's walkable to campus then your search area is going to be pretty small anyways.

[@luyuchen2544]

@@calvinxli thanks I will start with that

[@itsjustme684]

its your fault that im watching this at 2:30am MYT and order 2burgers and some nuggets from your mcd and break my fast early!! Hahahaha, glad you were safe and lets burger toast!

[@calvinxli]

Uh oh I didn't mean to influence anybody to eat McDonald's 😂

[@AnaRamos-nu8gp]

Have you girlfriend

[@brianlc]

Did you drive from Seattle (?) to MPK?

[@calvinxli]

No lol I flew

[@brianlc]

@@calvinxli Oh, so you rented through Turo. Never saw an Acura rental car before.

[@calvinxli]

@@brianlc Actually the rental came from National! Picked it up at the San Diego airport.

[@shashwati197]

Are you too a big lover of cakes, pastries and ice-creams? Actually I am. That's why I am asking you. 😊

[@calvinxli]

Yes but it also depends. I like stuff that's not very sweet!

[@Pavara_Senvidu]

Hii are u living in a hotel, and what's is your post at Facebook and may I know how much a software engineer in Facebook earn??

[@coderandcream]

do you always wake up grumpy?

[@calvinxli]

I do have RBF tbh 😌 but that stuck door certainly wasn't pleasant

[@coderandcream]

@@calvinxli u should smile more 🤭
