WFH Software Engineer Reacts to Day in the Life at Meta/Facebook

In this video, I react to "A Day in the Life of a Software Engineer at Meta (previously Facebook)" posted by Apurva Singh. I'm currently a senior software engineer for a post series-A startup that has just over 100 people. This video's main purpose is to shed light on the differences between Software Engineering positions -- based on the size of the company and in-office versus remote work options. I talk about office dynamics, employee dynamics, and just the people aspect.
Shoutout to Apurva Singh ( / @apurvavrupa ) for the great Day in the Life video!
