Hello what is your vscode theme?

[@Youssef-_-Lmouden]

i think udemyy is the best for learn dev, i have two courses about python and unity dev

[@CallousCoder]

So true Jacob! I always say: “it doesn’t matter which language you learn - although if you want to get really good start in assembly for a few months and do some basic things, then meant C” but generally when you learn one language well and you firmly understand the foundations (hence assembly and or C), you’ll learn any other language on the job. It’s like learning music. It doesn’t matter which instrument you use. The music foundation is the same. Even horn players that have a boring monopolic instrument learn about chords.

My life as a work from home software engineer of 15 years: 1) wake up 7 am, light breakfast 2) Feed chickens and dog 3) check email 4) 9am standup 5) coding until 11am 6) lunch and hot tub 7) 12-3 mostly coding, meetings 8) 3-4 workout or take my husky on a hike 9) Done with work most days, but occasionally have to do some later hours work 10) evenings currently finishing up master's degree in CS specializing in machine learning....after I finish that in December on to an MBA Weekends: hobbies, going out to eat, working in my woodshop. I only work after hours if I choose to. Never on weekends.

[@andrewoyster7956]

I'm a full-time paramedic working 86+ hours a week. I have to find something I can support my family of 5 with and actually see them. I do enjoy coding and the challenges. I just have to make the jump and the aspect of getting laid off is scary.

I am SO excited to have found a kiwi software engineer's channel! Sometimes it is hard to relate to the mostly American vlogs, nice to see someone in my own environment 😊 I am finishing up my 2nd/last year of a software dev diploma.

Hey, thanks for the comment! Go you! ❤️💪🏼

I am flabbergasted at how good your videos are for just a few videos! this is some true inspiration for my videos, i love the pov set up :D

Most of the day in the life videos shows half the work you do and go hangout or sleep BUT you did so much work which I really enjoyed and it was just 12:15 ish in the afternoon when you ended! 😂 Really like these types of videos! Hats off! I hope you keep making more of these! 👍

[@JacobSucksAtCode]

Thanks man!

[@antxn.mp4]

This is the first vid I have seen from you. I am in love with your house just from what I have seen. If you havent already I would love to see a little tour or like how much your rent is or something. I just subscribed!

[@alexistinio1420]

keep these quality vids going man, way better than most vlogs I watch

[@JacobSucksAtCode]

Thanks man! Thanks for being here 💪🏼❤️

[@jam08060]

For your home theater PC I would recommend getting a Logitech K400. It's a wireless keyboard with built in touchpad. I've used one for years to remote control both my PC and/or HTPC and it works great. It's nice having the touchpad on it so you don't have to use a dedicated mouse or controller with it. But obviously you would still want the controller for playing games.

Hey Jacob! If you get the chance can you make a video on your journey to being a software engineer? I really enjoy the content and I’m aspiring to become a software engineer as well and was surprised when you said you didn’t go to school. Thanks for the content and keep them coming you’re very inspirational!

[@Warlockjw]

Love your videos, keep up the great work! Great vibe, great video edit, definitely deserves more subs here!! btw: What camera do you use to film?

[@JacobSucksAtCode]

Hey thanks!! I use a DJI Action 2

[@godisme9730]

I adore your home design.

[@DonCafecito]

I've just recently discovered your channel and I have to say, I'm a huge fan already! The editing, lifestyle and the way you narrate thru your videos (whether it be reviewing products or just giving your opinion and advice on things) is amazing and such a vibe! Nicely done Jacob! I am curious on what your option is on "Swift Playgrounds" and how well of an app it is to get started in iOS Development (which is what I want to focus on and make my career out of). Do you code in Swift too? Or do you use other languages? Keep up the great work tho!

[@jordanfernandes9239]

Bruh this guy is so good at his work🥹 Keeping goin mate💪🙌

Thanks man!!

[@brents2500]

To solve your keyboard Bluetooth issue you can connect to one device with 2.4ghz, and the other device with 5.0ghz, if your device is capable of both. I had the same problem and ended up getting a keyboard that could switch between the two.

I think your keyboard can have multiple devices. My Keychron can have three. Knowing all models aren't the same but maybe lookup keychron shortcuts for your model.

[@occo5877]

Your keyboard supports 3 connection.! You can use fn to choose between them
