What professional Software Development Looks Like?

[@andyackon2743]

i feel this video to be a more realistic day in a life video than any day in a life video i have ever watched...i love this, you are awesome bro 👊🏽👊🏽

[@elmargentertainment5683]

this is most valuable software development vlogg i have seen! please make more videos like this which is realstic and specific.

[@doudi0101]

very realistic and honestlly describes a productive day in the life of a software developer, thanks ❤

[@XofEarth]

Great video, my day to day has been exactly like this. Very good look into the world of software development.

[@Winkmyster]

This really captures what the average programmer is going into, so this helps us beginners a lot to understand where we could fit in on a regular level. Refreshing amidst so many other programming "content creators" that make "content" of them showing off with vague information on what to expect. This video is the opposite of that, actual content consisting of useful information from beginning to end. Thank you.

[@RichardStrittmatter]

Thanks man, happy to hear that :)

[@Desenrad]

I've been out of work for 2.5 years now, taking the time to decide what I really want to focus on for the next 10+ years. I already had some experience in Unreal Engine 5, and started to learn C++ to understand the engine. but it never stuck with me as I knew it was a long time till this got me any money. But now after really going over the options. a currier in coding with C++ has the highest pay and opportunity to grow out of any industry I had experience in and was putting lots of effort into trying out. Going to open up my old learning files and really dedicate 2-3 hours a day to make sure I land a job within a year. Cant wait to see where this takes me.

[@RichardStrittmatter]

Best of luck man!

[@columbo1977]

💻I work agile like this, it can be very efficient. Although we were also running a support function and that just kills a sprint sometimes. But we are transitions to new work now and leaving that support function behind. Looking forward to doing Scum like it's meant to be done. Nice video :)

[@djee02]

A full day meeting for a 2 week sprint is insane.

[@RichardStrittmatter]

Retro & Planning are on the same day. So it's only a half day for planning.

[@hassansyed6087]

Wonderful video. Super detailed. Can you tell me a bit more about how long it takes for a junior to fully integrate into this process and eventually become a contributing member

[@RichardStrittmatter]

Depends on how quick you can pick up new things. I'd say between 2-4 months to be a fully productive member.

[@pavelh756]

I feel like if sprint planning takes you a whole day, you're doing something wrong.

[@lisaprince1313]

story points jira tickets 😂😂😂 jared

[@robadobdob]

If you're equating points to time, you are better off just using time as your sizing metric.

[@adeyshdev]

Hey great video ❤ but i wanted to ask what do you do when you're stuck like you don't know how to do it and you have to complete your task on time. I mean you must be facing new challenge almost everyday right? so how do you manage time between exploring a new thing that you don't know how to implement and also deliver your task. I actually had a hard time with this at my internship 😅.

[@RichardStrittmatter]

Being stuck happens much less over time. After 7 years of development, one of the most valuable skills I've gained is knowing how to approach problems and find solutions effectively. Whenever I get stuck now, I know how to research efficiently, and if needed, I'll ask a colleague - sometimes a fresh perspective is all it takes to solve the problem. Don't worry too much - dealing with being stuck is a skill that improves naturally with experience!

Great content. I am trying to switch careers in 2025, and software development is a path that truly interests me. btw, can you share your watch collection? I have seen some cool watches on your wrist within the last couple of videos.

[@RichardStrittmatter]

Maybe i'll show them in a future video :)

[@BoituXZ]

CS student here, how intense is the environment, because the daily standing meetings where you're asked what you did sound intimidating😶

[@RichardStrittmatter]

It’s actually not intimidating at all. They daily’s are a tool to make sure a individual developer doesn’t jeopardize the successful outcome of a sprint. It’s also a place where you can ask for help and tell your team what kind of problems you are facing. I wouldn’t worry too much about it 😅

[@pjmaas106]

You're probably going to be the one who ends up being excited to talk about coding every day like me and the cranky back end dev doesn't want to help you lol

[@kylesaunders-z9s]

These standups are anywhere from 5-15 minutes per day, depending how big your team is. The sizing he does in the video is a bit different than mine, typically we use 1 story point for a full days work, and use .5 as a half day. There’s no one screaming at anyone if you’re off on your estimate, as long as you’re actually doing work. Scrum is a good way for a product manager to be able to communicate back to the client when a feature will be done but also does indicate performance for a developer.

[@henryogbogu3499]

@@kylesaunders-z9s Hi, i want to know. How did you get the job?

[@bmc868]

It's always impressive how offices went threw 100% paper to 0.

[@esparda07]

I like how you have 2 monitors, an external keyboard, a mouse, and a standing desk at the beginning but end up doing the actual coding on your laptop somewhere else. lol.

[@RichardStrittmatter]

I mostly work on me desk to be honest. Only when the office gets to busy and I need to focus I work somewhere else’s on the laptop. I love this monitor setup.

[@Numbermind]

great video ! what keyoard are you using

[@RichardStrittmatter]

Just the regular apple Magic Keyboard. At home I have the old Razor Black Widow V2 (very old but still does the job)

1:23 just name it estimate hours stop spread misinformation about how story points work.

[@RichardStrittmatter]

I pointed out that this is how we view them and also as an easy way to understand them. I know very well that story points are a way to estimate the complexity of a task but I think it’s easier for beginners to view it as a „time frame“ model because estimating „complexity“ can be very abstract when starting out.
