Realistic Day in The Life of A Software Developer | Remote

In this video, I'm sharing a day in the life of a software developer in Dallas, Texas, who works from home. I show you everything, from my standup and sprint planning to how I code in the afternoon.
This video is a realistic look at what it's like to work from home as a self-taught developer. In this video, you'll see how I balance work, family, and recreation to have a balanced day in the life.

what youre not having breaktfast for 2 hours, playing soccer, working out, then having lunch, going for a walk in the park, going to sauna afterwards, then attend a meeting, and finish off with a nice dinner and calling it a work day? im not gonna be a software engineer :(

[@tulipgirlthrifts]

Love the family aspect

[@walkerschrumpf]

I appreciate that. Thanks for watching!

starting to apply for remote jobs in Django. This video boosted me. I am scared as I have no experience with remote jobs. great video

[@chaltonprins2334]

I love these day in the lives of Software engineers. I wish you would also add an indication of what you are earning and what exeperience you have! Please

I feel the meetings. I sometimes have days where I can get 30 minutes of work in, the rest is meetings 😴 But aye, that’s finally a more real day in the life. Tired of all the „devluencers“ that spend 20 minutes of work and chill the rest of the day I get that it makes a video more realistic, but then they call it „a real day“ nah fam, you’d be fired if that was a real day. Thanks for keeping it real!

Nice vid. Similar to what I do except that instead of gym I run in my morning

Thank you for watching!

I am a 1st year student of BTech computer science. After watching your video, my motivation has become high. I just want to become a software engineer like you. Please tell me how to study so that I can become a successful software engineer.

[@walkerschrumpf]

Thanks for watching! I'm glad you're getting some motivation from my video. Honestly, the best advice I have is to practice coding everyday to build up that muscle memory and creating your own projects. Running into issues in my projects and having to learn how to solve those problems, helped me learn so much about software development.

[@TaslimCrico]

Thank you 😊

[@Randomuser005]

Do you have a passion for it

[@paulabee81]

Can I ask what path you took to being self taught? Did you take free courses ir what specific resources did you use? 😊

[@dr.d303]

Oh Nice! What is your tech stack and what's you using os?

[@walkerschrumpf]

Thanks for watching! We use React for frontend, node.js for backend, and PostgreSQL for our database. We do have a couple projects that use Go and CouchDB, but we don't use those often. My OS is Linux.

[@rohitaware8141]

Hey ! Is that a theme or your OS 's icon style..how you set up your desktop....this stylis

[@walkerschrumpf]

Hey Rohit, thanks for watching. Here is the tutorial I followed to customize my desktop. kzbin.info/www/bejne/inK6qH2ljrykbNU

[@MyGamersLifeUa]

Nice

[@anthonyjzoda]

There looks like around 90 minutes of actual work being done. Please see me in my office.

[@miguelfrancisco5353]

Nice video, how did you learn?

[@walkerschrumpf]

Thanks for watching! I started learning by doing tutorials on Udemy and going through some books as well. After that, just started building my own projects and this is when I learned the most.

[@okira_e]

This was a realistic day in the life until 3:27

[@wahebbenzaid543]

I think you're a Linux user right ? is it Garuda Linux or Manjaro ?

[@ZacharyBishopZyncster]

Do you have to look up a lot of commands?

[@walkerschrumpf]

Thanks for watching! I do have to look up commands sometimes with Git and Linux, but it's not too often.

[@chronicle9740]

So is this the difference between a software developer and a software engineer. Seen a couple of videos of the day in life of a software engineer and all they show is themselves fooling around for hours. eating, taking naps, as well as doing other none productive things. I get needing breaks and all but men some of them look like their work is taking breaks. Anyways is nice to see a video where actual work gets done.

[@walkerschrumpf]

Thanks for watching! I have seen videos like that as well. Not sure if it's just big tech or what, but I work at a smaller company where we only have 4 developers. So a lot of work to go around.

[@vaibhavkumararya9952]

Sir, I've started learning front-end now, I've learnt html and now learning CSS. Can you please tell me how did u learn coding, how can we become full stack web developers what are the tasks that you do, and how much money can a fullstack developer make annually?❤❤🙏🙏

[@midnightdemon9157]

progress ?

[@Randomuser005]

Do you recommend doing this if you don’t have a passion for it?

[@bishopsamueljohnson5603]

cool coding shirt

[@walkerschrumpf]

Thank you!

[@shobhitaggarwal9097]

I also want to become a software engineer brother.can you help me brother ♥️🙏
