@@purplesongs I enjoyed that one a lot too! I go back to it occasionally. I just found this one to be so relatable with the zoom call. Everything was on queue really reminding me that we definitely live in a sim 😂 This man's acting was so on point with no one trying to be neccessarily trying to call attention to themselves in the morning standup.
My father, a construction worker, always laughs at how we developers have a destress time in the morning. Or rather, he laughs at how our days seem to start around 9:30 while most blue-collar jobs start at sunrise. That destress period is SO damn important. We needs our minds to be clear to get anything done.
It’s interesting I would NEVER be able to do that kind of work. It’s so interesting to see other peoples jobs. I work in emergency services and I could never be inside working on screens all day. Thank you for doing what you do, you’re valuable!
Good stuff man! As a senior high school student who will be attending college this fall on a baseball scholarship. Aside from baseball tech is my favorite hobby I will be getting my degree in CIS and becoming a software dev this gives me a great insight on what it’s like!

getting paged was really hard especially when it is only happen on your day. Once I took like 2 day shift so I can swap it with someone else during actual holiday. The amount of issue happened during those 2 days happened outside working hours and actually in sleeping time. I recommend to not stay til midnight when it's your to take on duty call next day because next morning it's already yours and no one knows when shits hit the fan
The on-call thing made me giggle. I would've never thought that you guys get out on call. I work in healthcare so being on-call is normal. lol Makes sense though.
Yeah, the random three in the morning calls in the morning really gets to you. Sometimes, they don't even tell you that you're going to be on-call, you're just expected to wake up at 3:30 in the morning.
@@airflow0 you guys better get paid well for that. A lot of companies don’t expect that from their software engineer. Or they only put the new hires on those overnight on-call rotations as a way for them to “pay dues”.
@@ThomasFoolery8 I wouldn't put new hires on call. That's like having a brand new mechanic trying to fix a Maserati. We give a minimum of 8 months before you're able to serve for on-call. It all depends on what the problem is. If it's a level 1, then all managers and dev leads are called. If it's a level 4, only the person that's on duty will be called. Only really big tech giants have on-call duties, especially Microsoft. Our On-Call duties last one month per year and I absolutely hate it.
@@airflow0 right I’m guessing you use PagerDuty? I work at a hedge fund. Trading systems being down is very costly. Yet, for most issues we’ll train up some junior dev to go through the motions to fix the problem. They’d only escalate to me if it’s way outside of their scope. For overnight issues, our London office takes care of it. This is the least an international company should do for their devs.
@@ThomasFoolery8 That would probably make more sense to do, but the program we manage is only worked on by our team, so there isn't an option to keep an oversea team. No, we use our own inhouse built system to manage all our in-calls. You know, build it once and not pay licensing fees forever.
Man, I live in Brazil and so, things here are very complicated to get, but watching your videos gives me an absurd desire to study and learn about this area, I've always had a lot of affinity with the computer I've always liked to use, but I've never been able to program anything like that, and I want to know from you what are the steps to be where you are now
Amazon (the company where Albert works) has an office in São Paulo with 200+ developers. You could apply to work there and try a transfer to Seattle later on. It's possible, keep studying and you will get there.
I have just began my career in development, and I watch your videos as inspiration to get further and further with my skills, life and value to the world! Keep it coming
I’m an emt that works full time in a 911 position and watching you wake up to the alarm is exactly how I feel everytime we get a late call man. Sleeping nice and good and being awoken to sirens and a dispatcher telling you the address as you wake up is hilarious
tbh sometimes i just play video games for a day or two when i know i know i have a light sprint lol. "what did you do today (its tuesday)", "ummm this and that, should be done by friday". Does it on thursday lol.
he was reading AWS documentation, doesn't mean he works for Amazon, but rather probably only uses their cloud service for providing and clustering their server
Most of the complaints I see surrounding Amazon are from the warehouse workers. They’re the lowest tier jobs you can hold in Amazon. I don’t think there are going to be too many complaints from the educated employees, frankly.
I´ve never been in the US (I´m from Bavaria, Germany) but it seems that Seattle is a pretty lovely place to be. Awesome video, awesome work and that zoom call was very accurate. I guess the whole working stuff was clearly based on real situations every person working in software business experienced every day. 😂
Hi, I'm Moein, a Web developer. I was rolling when I watched the second your alarm goes off and it reminds me my routine. I hope the best for you Albert.
Thank you a lot for your video. After it I feel better I'm full of energy and motivated to do smth which is going to do me better. And if we talk about this video, as a result, I'll do pull-ups every morning!
As a software dev, this was really accurate to my day-to-day experience! Except for the gym. And the dog. And the friends...
You are missing a lot here Have you thought of adding them :)?
@@akbarjonkarimdjanov6554 Have put it into the backlog, current sprints are full.
Me: And definately the work culture and salary
Woow. You said the exact thing I wanna say. Lol
and the compiling
That zoom call was one of the most accurate skits I have ever witnessed.
Clearly you haven't watch Joma tech's day in the life video, that's pretty hilarious too

@@kanpekiken2481 I take it you’re a software engineer?
literally every tech company I have ever worked at organizes it in the exact same way lol

Same bro
Where do you work?
your laptop stand link plz
Same here! Tech company in Barcelona.

OMG the empty fridge thing is so true. We order takeout way too often. And in my case, it's not bluebs, but pineapple
Omg, this is exactly how it is lol! Just graduated and this helps me calm down a bit that I'm doing the same haha
I'm addicted to these types of videos

@@gabrielgiordanob Thank you very much my man, I was in need of this kind of advice, I feel much more motivated to study and follow this path
That debugging session was painfully accurate lmao.
Hey man, I have a video suggestion, how about talking about what you do, and how you got started in this career
Thank you for show me this kind of life, because now I know what I want to do with programming, this is not the life I want.
probably the most accurate cut of any developer expect office guys, don't forget they do exist
I have just began my career in development, and I watch your videos as inspiration to get further and further with my skills, life and value to the world! Keep it coming
i love this guy with my whole heart
just remembered my on-call times after watching this.
Dude! That's exactly how my days go by
That's awesome, totally accurate ✌🏽
LOL the pile of cash on the desk was a nice touch!
I feel the pain in the morning just by listening to that alarm in the beginning of the vid
Your videos are getting better and better! Acting very on point 😄 Let me know if you ever need a designer feat your video.
The fact you pointed out reading some stuff to improve your code 👌👌👌

😂😂😂 true that
It amazes me how smart se are, I wish I understood a fraction of what you guys do.
As a product manager I did discover that the "three-dot" menu is called Kebab. I felt like that was the most technical thing I learned that day.
Loved watching this video bro. I can totally relate as an Software Developer :D Keep sharing :)
Hahaha didn't know you're a software engineer as well cheers man
What cracks me up is being a System admin, this is similar to my everyday life now adays lol. Great content.
Nailed it. Groundhog Day for me.
you’re on fire bro this channel gonna be huge
This video was the best in the history of day in life. About I was on mute was so accurate!
If you're getting this much time for your own in Amazon, That's great work life balance man, Hope some day I will achieve this

@@YuriG03042 pretty sure he works for amazon but either way he has a lot of time outside of work which is enjoyable but hard to manage for some

the long haired senior dev is on point.
This is much more real than it should be :)
I definitely LOVED the catch up meeting! hahahahhahahahaha
it is EXACTLY like this!! wtffff
Hahaha I think I drove by your building before! We visit sometimes from Portland :) Love your video, subscribed!
Nice video mate. Probably the only wfh video...which didn't bore me.
Ayyyy glad you liked it 😎
just found your channel loved your vid , love the quality man ! sick stuff
Realistic day in the life of a software engineer: stopping in the middle of work to watch this nice video (my situation right now).
I like ironic music you've chosen for this video!
Now I'm working in person, but watching this video makes me remember and miss remote work :')
Another great video. Looking forward to more!
really appreciate that dude!
FINALLY a legitim day in the life video, congrats!
thank you so much brutha!!
Can’t say the shower happens every time but definitely the dog love.
Hahaha definitely for the doggos😍
So relatable, and I'm in Seattle too!
Nice video man, as a college student in CS this life seems good I hope I get a nice job in a city some day
Thanks man! You got this 👍🏻
that alarm my days
lol rip😂
This is the story of my life... Subscribed for the accuracy xD
As a wfh swe in Seattle, this is 100% accurate down to the contents of my fridge (only difference is I never have to be on call thank God lol)
what so bad about the call are other competitive or toxic ?
great job, Albert.
Relatable! Loved watching your videos bro 😄
It is really interesting!
ARRRRR This will be me in September when I come to Seattle lol... looking forward to it... life as SDE looks chill
The product manager asking about the hamburger menu killed me.
LOL he has nothing in his fridge. so relatable
LMAOO
bro.. I thought I got paged when I started the video. My hands are shaking now, thanks.
Oooppps😅🙈
the burger library, that was funny. :D

Watching this during on-call 🚨
holy i left amazon a while ago but that page sound INSTANTLY raises my cortisol levels.....
This is so accurate with the “turn on your camera” “you’re on mute” 😅
That honest "Sorry I was on mute" is so real-life xD
Hi, I'm Moein, a Web developer. I was rolling when I watched the second your alarm goes off and it reminds me my routine. I hope the best for you Albert.
thank you so much!
Overhead shower looks great
Chill as SE in Seattle.
Love the video, meetings are exactly like that haha
that kind of alarm gives you PTSD when you''ve had a stressful week
omg this is amazing
This was very interesting. Please do another lol.
Dude I get PTSD from hearing that oncall paging sound🤣🤣
Thank you a lot for your video. After it I feel better I'm full of energy and motivated to do smth which is going to do me better. And if we talk about this video, as a result, I'll do pull-ups every morning!
“If you’re talking you’re on mute” “hey sorry I was on mute” I use this excuse atleast twice a day
Me too 😂😂
love how that pager is triggering my PTSD
The accuracy on that zoom call 😂😂
It's the alarm sound for me 😭😂. Lovely video. Thanks
hahahaha thank you'!
Nice trick with the muted call
Accurate stuff! Especially the standup😂
cout
production issues are the worst. I hated being at a bar and bam getting alerted for production issues lol
i need your alarm mate😂. great video btw👌
Haha the Product manager depiction is spot on 😂
😂😂😂
Man i feel that alarm! My rotation starts next monday for our oncall, lol…
Oh good luck hahaha
very cool video man!! really enjoyed it!
Raising PRs seconds before standup calls was just our things 😉
I'm a financial analyst myself, and this is pretty much what I do every working day lol except we don't do Team meets that often
If this is the life of a software engineer... I LOVE IT!
hahaha THANK YOU!
The "WTF why is this not working" is 1000% accurate 😂😂
I so love your videos the coffee cup had me and I rolling with laughter with the different personalities lit 🔥
thank you so much!!
Awesome video, looking forward to 'weekend day in the life' next!
Oh hahah yess!!
Definitely see the inspiration from Joma Tech lol. Good stuff man
