I just scrolled down to the comments to say this! The rest of these videos are so pointless I almost didnt even click on this one. What a pleasant surprise.
He wakes up and gets off the bed immediatey. When I wake up I need to roll on bed for 10min and then complain about getting out off the bed and then I can get off the bed.
I have watched a ton of "day in the life of software engineer" videos that other UA-camrs have created and not to talk bad about other ones, but this one is the first one that I have encountered that has been realistic and informative. I really enjoyed this video, keep up the great work and videos Forrest!
Fake! This isnt a day in the life of a software engineer. Where is the multiple coffee breaks? No fake-ass-typing-keyboard pretending to code? Why is there so much work? Wait, a breakdown into the process of ur work? This is unreal Finally a real A Day In A Life Of A Software Engineer. Thumbs Up!
Impossible to film yourself if you aren't a drive thru worker. I work at McDonald's and you can't use your phone during the shift. Only during break times. :P
Thanks for actually showing what you do unlike other software engineers! This is much more informative and gives me great insight. Definitely earned a subscriber.
I remember a couple of years ago when I was choosing my major, I searched for day in the life videos of software engineers and they all sucked. This one is actually realistic and good! Glad you made this!
Thanks love your vidoes always great !! You’re a main reason why I changed my major to computer science and been loving it since I found your videos last year keep it man much love from Cal Poly Pomona !!👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you for making this video. I plan on becoming a software engineer when I grow up(I have a lot to learn though). Discovering this channel and video has inspired me even more.
I've also been working as a software engineer for a year, sitting at a desk inside all day is also getting to me! It's something you know but you don't actually realize until you get there.
Wow this is the most sincerely video of a software engineer it's not only eat and go to walk like the others videos on UA-cam, greetings from Dominican Republic
This is my day EXACTLY. I'm also a software engineer. Except I get interrupted by like 3 meetings a day minimum. Can't get shit done in the office so I end up working late at night to do any actual work. Blows.
I was losing motivation on my job as a software engineer but your video somehow made me realize I like my job and what I do, so thanks a lot for this! (I am definitely going to share this video to whoever asks me what my work is like.)
This vid showed up in my recommenced and I liked it so much I went back and watched like 50 of his other vids. Extremely useful if you’re interested in computer science
This is so interesting to me. I'm a blue collar worker and I work 12 hour shifts in my feet and I'm just getting into programming and I think about how hard it will be sitting all day I'd have to start running. Thank you for sharing your story.
When I was developing almost 50 years ago (before pcs) I worked on several projects at once. I would arrive at work, read some core dumps, wrote up patches and submitted them to keypunch for correction. When machine time became available I would walk down the hall into the data center and ran a few assemble jobs. I wrote strictly in assembler as the machine only had 48k of main storage. Reviewed output and sent corrections to keypunch. Ran several jobs for testing and reviewed output for correct results. Wrote up run time documentation for the operators. Scheduled time at night to install vendor updates to operatiing system. I would arrive at night when time was permitted to update the system with correct patches and build new system disk packs for operation. Sometimes other programmers would come in at night for large sysyem integration tests and verify proper operation. Our facility would process approx $20 million in credit card transactions. One data center I was responsible for had 13 different vendors of equipment in a 200x200 foot raised floor data center.
@@bilaltariq7819 I still have some of my code running to this day! Way before "shared libraries" i developed a method for COBOL to call subroutines dynamically. IBM said it couldnt be done, but I managed to get it done. IBM called them transient phases.
I have those same leather Vans! I only say something because it took me a month to get them in size 12 because they were sold out everywhere and had to ship them from another state.
I'm sure agile is an amazing way of working when used correctly... But on my work I'm getting tired of constant and multiple daily meetings that got way off topic. Sorry for the rant. Amazing video. Subscribed.
I like ur vedio. And so subscribed it. Me too an IT engineer and I loved that u shared us that is the day of software engineers. I always love the technology, and I love what I did and choice the right path. Do your great job I luck best for u. Lots of lov
Thought i wasnt gona like it since i didnt like most other videos. But this is real and genuine. ♡ 9:27 i know this has nothing to do with the purpose of the video but for some reason i clicked like once i saw that lol Love your videos Keep up the good work!
just subbed , you got the dream job and im only saying that because i use to be really into coding and building websites then settled for delivering food full time for a decade... you said you do miss those walks during your shift time when my whole day was a walk... that what i liked most about that job it kept my blood circulation good.. not the rain or the snow =) i walked more in a day then all the desk job people i delivered to probably walk in a week. but yeah gonna try to reteach myself but after 10 years on the road in a zen like socially isolated state, being behind the wheel of a car instead of a computer like yours all day doing tasks and just being on your mobile phone your mind just goes to shit over time, i programmed drones on my time off, but i miss the task of getting something done digitally besides just shooting someone in a FPS gaming and just basic networking on fb.. but as far as web/app dev and typing fast on a PC and being able to think and navigate fast within a hi res display if your not constantly doing that year round you loose your skills... but then again i was trying to be a solo clandestine coder, and you have a team a tleast that must be nice and make things alot easier.. ive never worked a office job so i dont know what thats like with co workers but yeah dont think your videos unnoticed and nobody takes the time to care because i dont wanna use the word envy but being as productive as you (and most coders) solving problems all day and getting a sense of satisfaction in pleasing the client, its nice to have a job where you just do the work you and go home to your house and dogs like that and even though you were just sitting in a room all day it felt like you got a lot done , anyway not trying to rant.. if you wanna see the shitty html site i put together its flameless420 .com and its all my current skills have allowed me to accomplish rn i built it from a blank page, wish i started younger, still wish i know more ima check out skillshare with ya link. staying tunned for more bruh
You need to get yourself one of those stand up desk, maybe you can do a review on a future video, just a thought. Anyway, great perspective into the life of a software developer, loved it. cheers.
Coming soon😁 I have two at home, so I'll be bringing one into work during that office move (my company offered to buy me one, but figured I'd save them some money). Thank you!
Quality stuff keep it up, and i'm studying software engineering and i want to know what kind of software process does your company work on and what kind of software testing you do? I'm very bored with the theories of the subject "Software Engineering" 😐
Good Job Forrest!! Love your videos! Keep up the good work!!! Btw, a question, do you prefer what operating system? Windows, Linux or MacOS? Do you use MacOS for programming or for terminal stuff?
Outstanding production. Two surprises 1) you evidently don't tele_commute 2) you're using a Linux distro ( probably Ubuntu desktop ) at work. How big is your company? Is it under 500? Are you still in the Hampton Roads area? Thank you for sharing

Finally a real A Day In A Life Of A Software Engineer. Thumbs Up!
it's because everyone else copying mayuko
as a person working software, it is true I do sometimes pretend to code and then browse on my phone when no one is around
It's true, when I've got no idea what to do I pretend to type
John Wig ok
This made me feel better because I do some of that fake ass typing when I'm frustrated with a piece of code and have to take a break.
Open the video.
See *Wake Up: **6:50*
Close the video.
@Mr. Spaghetti this is too much
Yeah, imagine sleeping in past 5
@IIyass on my momma!!! 😂😂😭
Too earlyyy

I'm gonna do this but it's gonna be "A day in the life of a Mcdanolds employee"
I would watch it
Impossible to film yourself if you aren't a drive thru worker. I work at McDonald's and you can't use your phone during the shift. Only during break times. :P
Is it better than this lol
The horror
put a hidden camera in your glasses or something and record it
As a 20 year old in his first year as a CS student, you are my hero. These videos are amazing

Sure thing! I did as much as possible but of curse had to blur/cover at moments.
My exact Panda E order every time I go. Subbed.
I think software engineers are amazing! I can’t even begin to think about all the skills you would need to acquire to do that work!
It has arrived 👏👏😅

Finally, a vlog where you actually show what you're working on. You have a new subscriber, cheers buddy!
