      Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future.

    All that is left is sheer productivity and free time..
    The sad truth of software engineering is that it's a "work of art" rather than a "mule at work"..
    You usually can pull out the quality code in a fraction of your real work time, the rest of the time is spent on mulling over the solution while doing something else, laze a bit and then studying always more studying...

      Agreed. Attempting maximum efficiency has diminishing returns. What may look like wasted time to skip-level managers is actually an important part of the engineering workflow. For top quality solutions, the most valuable minds must be given space to breathe, to properly consider the implications of their implementation approach, and to craft the best product for the customer.
      This is actually a little-known secret that the most successful team leads know to look for in their most valuable developers, and your competitors will snatch these engineers right up with comp packages TWICE what they're making now if given half the chance.

      You're right that devs need breathing space and time for growth. But where do you see that when boomers occupy the leading positions and keep down the young? If there's no chance to advance your career, you might as well stop making an effort. And then the boomers will look to hire cheaper programmers elsewhere while they do the important job of communicating, delegating tasks, attending external seminars, organizing more meetings, team events, reporting to other boomers how your code didn't improve their old 20-page long spaghetti code full of go-to statements, magic numbers, global variables and poor variable names, code that they would not want to touch again.

    Thank you for this video. It just popped out in my recommendations right in the moment when I started to struggle with “reality” part. I’ve been working from home for almost a year without any workation. The first half of the year I’ve been doing good and been very productive. But the last couple of months… Pure hell. Sometimes I can just look at the monitor for an hour and still fail to gather any thought of mine. I’m currently working on a huge project (and this is extremely important project for my career growth), but because of my condition I started to miss all deadlines.
    I felt devastated, worn out and nerveless. Weeped a lot. Having mental breakdowns still every other day because I just cannot force myself to work even in mediocre pace. I blamed myself for my worthlessness, forgetting that I am a living person, not a robot. But you reminded me the opposite!
    Perhaps the "reality" part was exaggerated in the video for the sake of comedy, but I Iiteraly felt like I'm watching myself from the side without any exaggeration.
    Hope I’ll make it through, now I see I’m not alone and understood. Thank you very much again.
    Sometimes working from home is such a struggle. Sitting everyday alone, every day at home (I even almost stopped going out at all), doing the same thing for dozen of hours also everyday… Nothing changes and this is so frustrating.

      WFH has a plethora of benefits. Construct a system of healthy habits. Example: If you have a patio - work from the patio. Put some plants out / bird feeder so you can see birds come up. Proven research has shown interacting or being around nature lowers anxiety & stress.
      Furthermore, realize that you’re not doing open heart surgery on a patient or brain surgery so don’t be too hard on yourself(make mistakes ).
      Also, buy a gym membership, someone mentioned mixed martial arts - you can do that as well. Start journaling.
      Apart from that take care of your mental health.
      If all else fails WFH is just not for you and that’s okay.

Which in turn helps to break lazy habits for the day. If I don't practice, I get my butt kicked at class so it's good motivation. Also helped with my quality of work. I highly recommend anyone who is struggling to try it.

    This is sooo true... Hate those multiple useless meetings where I need to say 2 sentences in half an hour. Recently got feedbacks from managers and clients that our team talk not enough on meetings... But all our team members think that managers are talking too much and 10min meeting takes 30 minutes and every day/week same useless talking and scrum rituals

    your video is so accurate that now I realize that I don't want to keep that misserable "reality" lifestyle... I know it's only a video for entertainment, but somehow it opened my eyes and let me see a dream that I could be actually achieve with high effort. I must say thank you, you've inspired me.
