Weekend in the Life of a Software Engineer | San Francisco Conference

Took a weekend trip to San Francisco, CA to attend a tech & design conference by Figma. Got newfound inspiration from the trip, and decided to get back to my personal projects, showcased during the laid-back coding session in this video.

Speaking of people seeing your content from far away, I am from South Africa. Your videos are well shot and edited. Nice Going Brian!

[@ronakpatel7911]

After viewing your website, I was amazed at the UI/UX that you have implemented, I would love to see tutorials in the future on how to create similar hover animations like the ones you had on your pictures in your 'about' section. Great work!

[@brianruizy]

That one I must give credit where it’s due. That was by Samuel Kraft. But it was made with Framer motion, which is a really cool trending library!

[@Diego_Cabrera]

Your videos are such an inspiration for a small creator like me. I love the way you incorporate software engineering and lifestyle content. This is something i've always been tempted of doing, but was afraid it wouldn't feel cohesive to the view or bring any value. You pull this style so well and i'm beyond excited to finally give this format a try.

[@brianruizy]

You should definitely give it a try! I think anyone can do it. Just takes some good planning. Tip to have a good script written down for you video

[@defl0970]

I really look up to you, the editing and video quality is immaculate

[@brianruizy]

Love to hear it! Thanks for the nice comment. Are you also a developer?

[@keivon9171]

I would personally like too thank you for uploading quality content today i start coding learning python currently, you were a big inspiration for me to get started, continue to keep making amazing content and i wish u the best of luck thank you.

@@brianruizy Thank you so much! All the best..

[@KibototV2]

As one of my previous comments in your other video, this video has just confirmed what I'd like to see more. Next.js how you setup your project (maybe go with portfolio), integrations, more technical video for sure. Glad you enjoyed Figma conference!

[@brianruizy]

I recall! Glad you were able to enjoy the slightly more technical side as well. I think this video was me trying to balance both :)

[@ella_preppy14]

Thanks for the video about to sleep, nice way to wind down! Thanks Brian

Cool! Yeah design skills has been useful for me as a front end dev. What other design tool were you using if not Figma?

[@zaifx6661]

@@brianruizy It was some time ago and I used Adobe XD. But now I think XD is dying now so I recently bought an Figma subscription. I have learned something so far :)

[@sarvar_me]

I liked your personal website, the design is awesome

[@brianruizy]

Thanks!! It's quite simple actually

[@rithiksharan]

Hey Brian, u just live an amazingly aesthetic lifestyle which motivates me to hustle more harder. Please do a video on how to become a software engineer and how to have an unfair advantage over other competitors in the IT field. Im pretty sure ur viewers and i are in the same field and would love the advices coming from a well established sw engineer like you. All love brother

[@brianruizy]

That’s a very good idea! Thanks for feedback 👍. Glad you find some value in the content. Want to see more technical stuff?
