Can't talk rn busy in the Gulag >:(
WOW! That surgery result was AWESOME! Nice strategic cosmetic move bro!
Hey man, I just watched a couple of your videos and loved them. Keep making those videos. Your videos motivated me to be a front-end developer as well.
Love to here it dude, really appreciate you tuning in! Thanks!!
Discovered you today!! Love the videos!! Like the transparency and how you talk through your code. Just started my developer/programming journey last month, and love the grind.
Nice man, appreciate ya tuning in. Best of luck!! Remember to take those breaks lol, imposter syndrome is REAL.
GOATd iPhone SE too. Love it.
Loved the video Derick! Seeing everything from your perspective being completely real is nice to see. Getting an actual idea of what to expect working Hybrid, working on personal projects and all the struggles that come with your day make this such an amazing video!
Appreciate the feedback! It's hard to balance everything at times so breaks are essential. But hey, appreciate you tuning in :)
Nice video, man! Found your channel today and already subscribed. Keep it going! Cheers from Brazil
Nice dude, appreciate you tuning in :)
You are very chill, I hope I get to live such a healthy life some day :)
keep up the positive vibes you share.
from Egypt with love buddy
Dude thanks! Really appreciate you tuning in!!
What I liked best was the part where you show a piece of code solving some real-world problem for which you already have some proven solutions. As was the case with the video showing the differences between ES5 and ES6 here I also felt that it was done in a very clear and concise way. I wonder what the solution to this problem was....
Yes it was SO dumb, I reached out to GitHub support and an engineer responded. All I needed was a ".pibb" file extension at the end of my URL in the SRC attribute of the tag. Still don't really understand why that works lol but hey it's rendering everything just fine now ¯\(ツ)/¯
Another high quality vid 🗣️
Easily one of my favorite videos. Entertaining, inspiring. I love it. Keep fighting the good fight :) I would love to be a frontend dev at a gaming studio. What is your tech stack? I'm trying to decide what languages and frameworks to focus on.
I can watch these vids all day, I think one day you should make a guide on job searching, especially these current days. Maybe interview tips key word searching etc. W vid btw
Love your videos. I fell out of pursuing frontend dev as a career after all the layoffs and uncertainty in tech. But you bring across a good vibe that makes me want to get back into it again.
Gotta get back on that horse man, there will definitely be a resurgence, I anticipate by the end of the year or early next things will improve in the market. Like all things the industry is in a "lull" period but will bounce back.
@@derickmoncado Thank you for the hopeful outlook! It'll be nice to see the industry come back around with opportunities, especially in the frontend space.
Hey, love your vlogs! Can we get them weekly? Excited for more! 🎥😊
I wish, but ya boy is trying to NOT get burned out haha. But def looking to diversify the content going forward ;)
Really interesting stuff man. ❤❤
Appreciate you tuning in dude!
Love your blogs 💯👏🏽
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
4:24 to me was a picture-like frame, idk the orange juice the shadows and lines.... it looked so good.... good work!
Your videos make me motivated
Your comment makes me motivated.
I want it! Looks so nice.
Nice video! What theme are you using on VS?
Palenight (Mild Contrast). Definitely one of my faves.
Agreed on COD Vanguard, some people swear by it that this COD was really good. Idk maybe the devs shouldn't have went back to WWII if they couldn't add anything to that time period
SO true. I really hope this fall's COD rally delivers, whooops not sure if I'm allowed to say that oopsie
@@derickmoncado Treyarch been cooking the next Black Ops game for 3 years. I'm very excited
@@rezin5747 BIG same.
Sup Derick, thanks for the tour. Did you figure out thst snippet issue?
Yes, it was SO dumb, I actually reached out to GitHub support and an engineer responded and all I needed was a ".pibb" file extension at the end of my URL in the SRC attribute of the tag. Still don't really understand why that works...? But hey, it's now rendering all of the code snippets from the fetch() so I'm good with that ha.
@@derickmoncado wow, not exactly an obvious fix! I'm glad it's sorted, thanks for the inspiration. I'd love an easy reference snippet wiki of my own, so it's on the downtime list now 🤝
I really like this format. More videos about your personal project, or better yet your thought process in coding. Really interesting to watch the personal project part. But nonetheless great video.
Appreciate you watching! Yes def plan on diversifying the content going forward and keep it code focused amongst other things, but thanks for tuning in!
I love the spongebob edit 😂

Great video and motivation for me. Please share Activision Microsoft recruitment process and interview.
It's about what you'd expect, initial phone screen, panel interview, tech eval/code test, another interview to review and go over the tech eval, then mayyybbe 1 more final interview and then a decision is made. If there's anything online for FED type positions, especially on the web team definitely apply! I know we ✨might✨ be looking to expand out team later in the year.
Can we get an api of all the weapons and attachments for cod mobile? and/or the maps with the points for the different modes? I wanted to build a site for codm players to keep up with balance changes / learn the maps.
This is actually a dope idea 👀 I'm going to ask around if anything like this currently exists and if it doesn't, if we can build it since we're the web team, good call!
If you need the help, that’s a project I’d love to work on for free. I was looking, trying to find the png’s of the maps but i couldnt find one for every map, also theirs nowhere really that has the maps with the points so i was gonna make them myself. Or like see if i could dig through the apk to try and see if i could pull the images from there lol.
Another small thing to add would be a patch notes page for codm for the balance changes, all the normal cods have patch notes but not codm.
Dude yes, we have an ideation sheet that’s shared with leadership so I’ll get this added on there asap 🤝
@@derickmoncado Sorry for being a bother but I was just thinking, maybe wouldn't be able to in time for this year, but I'm a solo player who wants to compete but doesn't have teammates to play with to progress through the tournament, so I was thinking a website for competitive players to find teammates, I was planning on doing something like this, however, one roadblock I was thinking is there's no way for me to pull player stats outside of the game so if I wanted folks to sign in to find teammates based on rank, players would both need to be honest and remember to update their rank on the site.
How many days you go in the office?
Since the reductions back in January, only 1 for now, sometimes 2. We're ✨supposed✨ to go in 3 but ain't nobody doing that lol.
25:10 , you can thank me later.
I want one of those backbones!!

They're not compatible with Stardew Valley, darn it!
Has anyone ever told you that you sort of look like the Chad meme?
Hey Derick. What language are you learning. Yo aprendo español
Also here for the wireless charger giveaway 🎉
Just spanish for now, I'm doing Duo daily but did have a tutor through Preply for a while but that got a little costly. It's a grind 😮💨
@@derickmoncado nicee. I'm currently on a 366 day streak
@@nwakakizito4572 Dope I'm in the 400s but still feel like I can't say a damn thing lol
@@derickmoncado It still feels like I know just the basics 😂
Is there any leaning community you're part of that you can share with me?
@@nwakakizito4572 I wish, I've looked online for like meetups/groups in my area for folks who want to learn more and get fluent but couldn't really find anything. So I might give Preply another go :/
nice (=
Thank for tuning in :)
I thought we left this type of videos behind in 2022/2023
Yet here you are 👀
no hate!! but can you say your people there to optimize the game a bit 🤣🤣!! anyways loved the vid... ❤❤
I hear ya, been getting on bad/slow servers in WZ lately myself, it's so frustrating :/
Please i can't download warzone on mobile so crazy
You're not the only one, the WZM team has patches a few things since launch since hopefully you're not having issues now 😔
Where is optimisation 🤬
You and me both wondering the same thing lmao. I think Sledgehammer just dropped S3 reloaded last night so hopefully there are some optimization/patches/improvements to the gameplay 😮💨
@@derickmoncadoIn any case, this is not a mistake of the developers who follow orders from their superiors, as I think. I want to understand, does the company really have such plans to overwhelm players with unnecessary skins without a normally running game?
@@KokoRosso Unfortunately money is always the bottom line in any entertainment product so steak holders/shareholders will always prioritize that BUT, I don't know there is a large emphasis and just getting things running better and further optimizing SBMM etc. I'm not involved in those discussions though so I only know so much :/
Anymore sexual harassment at the office today? 😂
didn't see you there, so no.
💪💪🔥
