What I like most for being a programmer is when you see your own program runs smoothly with actual data. It's very rewarding.
And then u got an unknown bug popping up a few moments later
Who pays you when you become a programmer? I don’t understand sorry.
@@ora6376 if you work for a company as a programmer. Can be web dev or game programmer or software dev, the company pays you. Just like any other job.
hello guys im zakaria from morocco and im so interested about learn programming and i want to ask you can we creat a group and start learning programming
Its so relaxing and worth it
*Majority of the viewers in this video are programmers watching this to know what a programmer's life is actually like*
Cruel reality

maybe the viewers are trying to prove (or disprove) that all programmers' life is just boring as hell
To know what im do it wrong XD
Mainly to see how good developed country developers have it :P

This is like, my ideal life. All the freedom to do things at your pace, and the need of doing some kind of sports and enjoy the view of life while crying to bugs and server errors. Imagine a life like this, it encouragss me so much.
the exciting part for me is, when he said wake up whenever i want 😂❤❤
Well I can confirm this looks something like this yeah. Exception on my end is that I have quite a few meetings. But its mostly chill and everything is task driven so i can do it whenever I want, but yea I gotta show up on my 9:30 meetings every day xd
You're in control
Trust me, it's not a good feeling if you *enjoy* programming - on the scale of pre-addiction.
Go for it, you wont regret it
Despite the humor, this is probably the most accurate day in the life of a programmer vid I've ever seen. And, no, I don't think you were being overdramatic about how bugs defy all the laws of the universe 😂

I 100% support the 16/8 fast. I went from 270 lbs down to a comfortable 190ish (190kg down to 86kg). I tried just fasting first and taking small walks. The walks became longer and longer. Then I started doing pushups each walk in sets of 10 to get my heart pumping. I walked as fast as I possibly could to keep my heart rate up but walking wasn't enough so every time I would feel myself recover, I'd immediately do another 10 pushups. I got to 100 pushups per 2 mile walk and then started jogging the same route and doing pushups in predetermined spots on my route. I started jogging longer and now I'm up to doing my routine twice a day with a total of 8 miles jogging and 400-500 pushups of different styles (diamond, wide, etc.).
Never went to the gym during my entire weight loss journey and I feel great. I love my body and can actually take off my shirt without complete embarrassment washing over me. Lost my beer keg gut, strengthened my core A LOT, and toned my muscles. I have broad shoulders so I'm absolutely blown away by how I look. I was always the fat kid from elementary school and stayed fat, miserable, and had no self confidence until I was 25 and decided to do something about it. I have my Dad to thank for all of this because he was a bodybuilder back in the day and when I told him I was nervous about getting a gym membership and going he told me about the pushup/walk/jog routine and said I didn't need one if all I wanted to do was get in shape and lose my gut. You don't need a gym to lose weight!
Can you break down the 16/8 fast please

My girlfriend and I have a 10 - 20 minute habit we participate in together before we go to bed. It really helps us sleep so well 😴
Counting sheep together?

tractor pulling?

I too formed habbits. Like ordering mecdonalds, watching trash anime before bed, and avoiding brushing my teeth. I mean it hasn't worked out in the sense that it does anything positive for me, but I got the habbits down!
I love how this guy keeps everything so real... I see the "day in the life of a programmer" of other people and makes me so confused the message that they try to give us... Everything so correct, a stress free life, constant routines and the fact that they show or try to show a different rhythm of work. And im here laughing knowing that is all kinda bs.
Anyways, big up to you, great vid and yeh, you just gain a new subscriber
I love Kalle's videos, they're just so inviting it's always entertaining and fun. Plus, his content isn't all code code code, he has fun too, so that's a huge addition to the calming factor. Thanks Kalle!
(Edit: God Morgon!)
I was so intrigued about the last part about habits that it’s sounds like such an awesome idea 😮 wow
If you enjoy nonfiction theres a book about it. IT's called Atomic Habits by James Clear. It's a really good read. I suggest it to anyone who wants to work on themselves
Indeed Atomic Habits is worth the read! (:
@@avh6170 thanks so much! I heard of it but never read it yet 😄
@@LucasAlexK Thanks so much, I’m going to read it now ☺️
I like the end "each habits hooks into another habits and create a chain of habits". It sums up really well the programmer life and mentally here. At the end if you want to be a developer yourself be prepared to act your life as actual code running like a foreach loop. Kind of funny to say like that but it's kind of true in a way.
Programming is also about optimizing stuff so in the end you're trying to optimize your life as well.
16 hour fasting, 10 minutes meditation and reading?! Sounds like ramadan to me, I do that for a month every year, it would start after one month
Next month ☪️
Yeah let’s do our best in Ramadan
he's doing that for just eating so it's pretty much easier than ramadan, I haven't had issues with being hungry in Ramadan
Great Bro
1 week and a half left guys
Insyaallah we get through this month
Really liked that he gets his time out in nature. It def helps with focus cause of the quietness of the mind over time
Thanks for always checking our comments!!!
I've never heard of 'habit hooking', sounds like a really cool concept. Glad I stayed until the end of the video, time to start hooking some habits. On an unrelated note, I started doing some python scripting for my midi controllers and videos about programming just started popping up on youtube. To be honest, I don't think my day looks much different, guess that makes me legit now lol 😂
praying 5 times a day is the most peaceful experience i have had. The experience of throwing your worldy problems behind you in the beggining of salah to get prepared for your next life is the most liberating feeling.
Going out for a walk ritually is quiet refreshing! A must for every human being.
the programming cycle:
>do something for a bit
>weird problem
>tf
>confusion
>google
>"oh yeah that does that"
>sometimes ctrl+c and ctrl+v
>maybe another 30 minutes before next google

Thank you for this content! You always inspire me and that helps me stay motivated
This is the most unbiased and realistic video on how a programmer's life actually is. I like it :)
I like the idea that u purposely make ur office look like a "mess" just to be a relatable even though we know that ur a clean person. Instead of showing those fancy unrealistic calculated inorganic life of a programmer 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼.
Great content👌🏼All the best .
In the book "Atomic Habits" what you described at the end is called habit stacking, cool that you found the same strategy as such a popular book
😂 😂 The swiping of the desk with the hoodie and ear phones!!!! Got a visual of the movie Hackers.
"One of the best ways to build a new habit is to identify a current habit you already do each day and then stack your new behavior on top. This is called habit stacking." From Atomic Habits.
I really love your job and your video bro Love

yes
A Hackings Creed
That's a catchy title for the game 😆, it would be the best game in the series
study in Sweden and I feel very familar with the weather check haha, thank you it is a lovely video
i can assure you this is exactly what the day of all programmers look like. what i specifically want to highlight is that the average programmer definitely gets more than enough physical activity
1:57 that typing in CMATRIX...
"figuring out ways to do something that you don't really know how to do" was the best definition of programming I've heard so far...
Bro the hacker vibes is so cool
I love how hard he’s flexing on the thumbnail bahaha
watching this to make me movitated to continue to learn coding as a fresh newbie!
i love how lights through your windows and feels wanna be like
Bra info! Är inne på at haka på programmerings vågen då 4 års idrottsvetenskap inte tar en någonstans men oavsett. Din video är helt klart den bästa hittills då alla andra "A day as a programmer..." videos är så jäkla "glam" och kanske faktiskt är en dag men sker bara en gång per år! Keep up!
Now I don't feel guilty that I get distracted so much while programming, I only get in the zone when I know exactly what I'm doing and I want to finish the stuff.
Him: nice weather
The weather: -40c
Kalle: "So after my breakfast, I brush my teeth and decide to go for a walk"

First time watch your video. Really like it!
The show was my cup of Comedy in the depressing nights I binged 13 reasons why
Awesome vid! Loved the natural shot and that "Hacker man" meme creased me haha~
Thanks man for sharing your programming skills and also yr day. I appreciate you doing this video) This video gave me good regime . Keep going brother)
First video I'm watching from your channel. And I already enjoyed and subscribed!!!
You should read Atomic Habits by James Clear. He mentions what you call ‘habit hooking’, he calls it habit stacking. Lots of other useful methods for building habits in all areas of your life and reasons to why you should. It’s not a massive book and is easily laid out. Great audible listen too.
+1
All the information in the book can be written in one article.
i find this video much more motivational than videos which are actually supposed to be motivational, really good content!
"so basically, each habit hooks into another habit and creates a chain of habits"

Haha 1:52 is funny. I wish programming was that intense.

Yeah I’ve tried that too, but my favorite is 24/0

Title: What a day in a programmers life is actually like
Thumbnail: Night
I work fulltime in an "agile" company. I work remote. My day:
- 08:30 turn on computer and check that I am not online in Teams or our chat software. Trying to work for 1h
- 09:30 go online. First Meeting "Daily Standup" (15-30m)
- 10:15 "tech daily" meeting. More teams gather and have a daily standup but with multiple teams. (15m)
- 10:30 Time to code. PO asks me if I have 5 minutes... OK, another meeting with PO
- 11:00 A meeting about some project stuff (1h)
- 12:00 - 13:00 break
- 13:00 A various kind of meeting. Could be continuation of the meeting from 11:00 or Retrospective (takes at least 2h)
- 15:00 Time to code... very tired, I usually take 15m nap.
- 15:15 Work
- 16:00 PO asks me "Do you have 5 minutes?" he likes to talk... sometimes 2h
- 18:00 I did literally nothing, I feel guilty, what will I say tomorrow in daily standup? They will think I am stupid that I was not able to work?... Thats the time when I sometimes start to work overtime, sometimes until 22pm. Sometimes on the weekends..
:(
This shit is very depressing. I used to work as a freelancer or just for me like Hallden, and it was fun. But working for someone, especially "agile" is very depressing. I am already searching for a new job but nowadays most of the companies want to be "hip" and use agile or other crazy faang soul crushing methodologies.
I have a feeling that most of the people watching this are programmers themselves
I cannot earn that title, since im so fucking junior about programming and suddenly my yt recommendation is full of programming. I dunt have any option, i have to click :v
Comforting to see this nordic style apartment/life style
My day : everyday waking up at 4.00 am , run for 2 hours , take a cold shower , make my self ready for school time , still got always about 1 hour , spending it revise what i've done yesterday from coding , goto school come back at 12.30 am ,
lunch time , go back to school at 2.30 come back from school at 6.30
take a second cold shower , take a fast dinner thougth
code and look for new things for the rest of the time until 11.40 pm , do my homework
have my breathing exercises for 20 to 40 min
sleep and wake up again at 4.30
makes a nice routine , m trying to make it stable all the time
and that makes it better
btw , m a 17 years old student , last year in hight school

Hi Kalle, I am also a programmer, my current problem at the moment is how to motivate myself, how to concentrate better and do less procrastinate.
If you have this common issue and you figure out how to solve this common issues that many programmers have right now would be nice to know how you solve this.

"Oh it's clean nowww...." 🙇
The amount of relatability I feel at 2:18 is honestly embarrassing
Thank you, Kalle.
Not exactly my typical day as a programmer, but that's how it should be. Do not forget about your health, both mental and physical, and about the world outside the window.
They are really hard workers!!
In my case, I usually eat out for dinner because my girlfriend is already kinda sore from an entire day of typing
😂
