harsh reality of being a software engineer ― living alone in the philippines, work vlog

[@jennyric]

I feel you!! 😢 I’m also a programmer - web dev and living alone too. I can totally relate to feeling like an imposter all the time. Been doing it for 5 years but whenever I get a “good job” from our TL, I always question it cuz I feel like I just got lucky I got the job done. 😅 I’m glad I found your channel.

[@dyidyii]

I feel dumb whenever I code and I hope that I can type codes like those programmers in tv shows haha 😂 hello welcome, feel free to rant! 😅🎉

[@Cara_613]

Live your life at your own pace. Always be kind to yourself and let us not forget that we work to live, not live to work. ❤

[@dyidyii]

100% 🎉 ❤

[@Avant402]

Yes, I agree! 💯

[@dyidyii]

thank you! 🍃🫶🏻

[@DavidAmodt]

great vlog and video. always glad to see the software engineer world from outside the USA, especially in the Philippines.

[@langyawdiaries]

It's normal to feel that way. But each of us has our own talents and contributions to the world. Give yourself a pat on the back! 😊

[@dyidyii]

@@langyawdiaries you too ❤️❤️ we are all making progress and that's the most important thing 🫶🏻

My 24th year as a software engineer. It is a rewarding and stressful job. I cannot wait to retire.. ;-). You can do it, never lose your passion, and never stop learning. Cheers!

[@dyidyii]

wow 24 years! congratulations in advance on your retirement 🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@codeunbox]

This year is my 8th year in the industry too. Cheers 🎉

[@dyidyii]

eyy!! cheers haha 😬

[@Avant402]

Same here with the imposter syndrome as Data Scientist. I take each project one project at a time and work from there. On weekends I take free online courses is to keep my skills and knowledge up to date.

[@dyidyii]

that's a cool job!! and I admire people who continue to upskill so thank you for sharing 💕

[@thehotelguy_]

Totally agree. Even if you’re already good on what you do. You still have to invest on yourself. Could be on other skills that can generate other income🫰🏻 im also a silent creator here, working in the hotel industry. Love your content🥹 new sub hereeeee

[@dyidyii]

yup, whatever skills we learned cannot be taken away so easily :) thank you so much !

[@thehotelguy_]

@@dyidyii 💯 looking forward to your next upload miss!

[@tocaxania]

Can you share your journey on how you became a software engineer? What was your experience before danding the job? Do you think undergrads from a diff course can become a software engineer too? Many thanks! By the way, your vids are comforting so please continue making them! ❤️

[@dyidyii]

@@tocaxania perfect timing! I am done creating that video haha, that would be scheduled in november 🫶🏻 stay tuned.

ECE graduate po here, one year ng nawawala and ngayon pa lang talaga magsstart sa life. trying to look for my first job and medyo nahihila po ng tech pero natatakot and nagdadalawang isip since wala po background sa programming huhu

[@dyidyii]

@@zeihhh3422 alam ko may mga bootcamps online na pede ka mag enroll kaso may bayad nga lang 🙁 may nakawork ako dati na mechanical engr sya tapos nagbootcamp then ayun software dev na rin sya ngayon. never too late, promise 🫶🏻 meron din ako nakawork na business related course then nag programming din. more on udemy sila at self study tapos take ng freelance projects para makapag apply sa IT company

[@qwistine.qweations]

What do you think are the challenges of being a software engineer po? What i just know about it po is coding hehe, tama po ba? and kung magrarant po kayo about the works of being a software engr, ano po kaya iyon? Hehe. Im just wondering po hehe

[@dyidyii]

@@qwistine.qweations siguro bukod sa fast-paced, isa sa irarant ko ung parang ang simple lang ng solution minsan sa error sa code pero inaabot pa ng ilang oras or araw to debug hahaha. or mas matagal pa ung testing kesya sa actual coding. saka ung multitasking, bukod sa need mo gawin ung code, need mo rin sya iexplain during meeting, or may questions or query na need mo sagutin, then may mga issues ka na maeencounter while coding na madidistract ka. until di mo na nabuo ung feature kasi naubos na time mo sa debugging 😂 tapos may times din na sobrang tindi ng effort mo na ibuild ung solution na ang ending iiscrap mo lang lahat para umulit sa umpisa or dahil nag iba na ng priority kaya sobrang importante talaga ng analytical skills, debugging skills saka learn how to prioritize. laging mag notes kapag may mga naiisip ka na need mong gawin saka ilista lahat ng route at possible solutions sa errors kahit gano pa kasimple un.

Where do u find software engineer jobs ? 😢

[@dyidyii]

either jobstreet or linkedin po or indeed

[@jabi2789]

Aspiring programmer here. Love the vlog! Can you give any advise to aspiring programmers po?

[@raunaktamang8309]

1. laern by doing, 2. dont stuck in tutorial hell, 3. build project find what make you more happy the front end or back end 4. learn data structure and algorithm 5. pick one language and master it(understand how code work)

[@dyidyii]

to add: 1. don't be afraid to ask for help or questions (we love to learn from juniors, too because they have a fresh perspective) 2. don't be a perfectionist, just make progress and improvements with every work that you're doing. 3. I agree with building more projects, the more exposure you have with codes, the more you learn it. 4. practice reverse engineering - this helps me a lot with trying to debug a code. (method of deduction) good luck with your career!!
