my 9-5 work-from-home routine as a software engineer who sold their soul to big tech

hello! welcome to another software engineering day in my life vlog. this is realistically what most my work days are like as a corporate code monkey. as wfh is coming to an end soon at our company, i made this video as a record of my routine in one of my final days of freedom.

the timeblock software i'm using is called sunsama for anyone who's asking. forgot to mention it in the actual video. 🙃

[@cody_codes_youtube]

I’m jealous of this routine already (one minute in) My day starts with violence with three screaming kids. Coding is the peaceful part.

[@SuprEmpth]

Me too!!

[@cody_codes_youtube]

@@samjam007 it’s true. I say it with tongue in cheek. I am very grateful.

[@youvegotmail9385]

I always have a blanket on my nap when on the desk. I had two fully remote jobs since covid, got a new job that was 5 days a week in the office (45min commute with traffic each way) and that was absolutely soul crushing. Quit after two weeks. Now I found a job even closer to my dream job and fully remote again. Time to build up a routine again. It gets lonely folks, so make sure you have a good routine. Stand up and walk often.

[@ADM10319]

your days already started from a good start compared to mine. My morning started with me questioning my life decision 🤣

[@kieranbracken2578]

is being a developer really that stressfull/ bad deciing between going into software dev or becoming an electricain pls help me decide lol

[@bozhidaratanasov7800]

@@kieranbracken2578 Wouldn't say it's stressful/bad at all. It's only as good as you make it, but most people (me sometimes included) just go in the routine without much social interaction, which is tolling. It's one of the better professions right now, in my humble opinion.

[@Ghosty716]

@@kieranbracken2578 if you want money specifically then software I guess. First two years were stressful as hell, and I wanted to quit. But it’s getting better as I’m becoming more experienced. Approaching the 2 and a half year mark

Your videos are very interesting but also very pleasing because both the lighting, music choice, background noise (i actually love to hear the background "fans"). Well done! Earned yourself a sub

the value of your video's is everybody want's to "work" from home and thinking about what they are doing bad, they must going to work daily, reason is not just about know programming but about much more things i mean, be able working from home, it's about watching how you thinking i mean

Reasons why I want to be a software engineer. Number one 🗿:

[@yehaa00]

Guess you don't know how's the real software engineer does, most of "day in the life as a bla bla bla" videos are intern in a big tech company who don't need an intense workflow yet, also they're mostly seeking validation through their sometimes cringey video, just tell me who's the most influential software engineer for their works that has youtube channel I'll wait here, there's a harsh truth for you there pal, but nevertheless if you want to be a software engineer just go for it. It still has a lot of fun for being a long life learner

[@youvegotmail9385]

@@yehaa00 people dog on software engineers, but I challenge anyone to give it a go if they want to wfh or make those big bucks. That shit is hard af, especially if you don't haev a CS degree. It's possible, just exponentially harder to get through that first door. I develop on a smaller scale and I can't do what these guys do. Coding is really, really hard. That's why they make the big bucks.

[@yehaa00]

@@youvegotmail9385 Yeah agree, this sudden hype of digital job and bootcamp creating a lot of cringey "trend jockey" developer, sadly. I've hired a developer, he's exceptional and the fact that he's not even into bootcamp whatsoever but because he has the intention to become an outlier. It's actually quite easy to distinguish between a "developer" and a developer nowadays because of the red ocean factor but sometimes the good one is preceded by the lucky mediocre. Such a harsh industry for real.

[@GodofStories]

An actual life of a SWE, rather than all the flashy vlogs showing off that this job is actually doing nothing. Well, I guess that's all those product guys, and others who do those vlogs of a "day in the life", where they are just hanging out in different rooms or having the free food at the office.

[@nika_251]

did you uh go outside?

[@s.kylenna]

I wish I could eat like you. Sitting on my bum all day coding does no good for me :')
