Here is a REAL look at a day in the life of a Software Engineer. Many other videos like this don't begin to scratch the surface of what it's really like - they'll show you their catered food or ping pong tournaments but not what work is all about.

@Justin Hammond, i had a question if you dont mind me asking, what are the programming languages you should learn when getting into software engineering? Also is working as a software engineer hard?

@joincoder 3 года назад

Ok done followed

@nvlel 3 года назад

@@playingaverage5287 I'd say C++, Python, and Java. If you really like something it could be pretty easy. Looking for a job can be hard sometimes especially if you are trying to join big companies like google, facebook, etc. But don't let that discourage you, just learn as much as you can and you'll get there.

@teamhop Год назад

Hey guys 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. Thx for reading.

Thanks for actually showing the "work" of a software engineer, and not what you eat for lunch or what bus you took to go to work, and not just taking a 5 second shot of yourself sitting by a computer is "a day in a life f a software engineer" 😆 I am a recent Computer Science graduate, landed my first job as business analyst... I don't really like what I do right now, we barely code and it doesn't feel like an analyst job either... I am more desk side tech dealing with tickets. This video is more what I was expecting to do after graduating, and is more similar to our capstone project in school than my job right now. Thank you for sharing, power to you. I hope to be working as a software engineer one day 😀

I'm in the middle of a computer science degree and I'm doing ok but when I look at this video I fear that I will be given tasks I don't know how to complete and everyone will think I'm an idiot or I will screw up the code and cause some catastrophy, or screw up the Github repository, or all my code reviews will be like 'this code sucks'. Great insight in this video btw, thanks!

@JustinHammond 3 года назад

You got this! The beauty of code review is it will help you get better and learn. If you have a good team, they will teach and help you instead of saying you suck.

@ColtonWVlogs 3 года назад

I'm in the last year of my comp sci degree and I have the fear as well. I've found that being confident in yourself helps a lot. I often fear that I am the weakest link, but as Justin said, good team members will help you. This has helped me through a lot of group projects and other classes. Believe in yourself and you will do fine.

That's imposter syndrome. The good people (skilled ones) have it. As long as you have the intent to learn from your mistakes, you'll do just fine!

@dzramen 3 года назад

Dont worry too much about it, the goal of a junior engineer is to learn. Just create a PR, get some comments and the next time you are looking over your changes that you are about to commit, think about the things that were commented on in your previous PR's and your code quality will improve dramatically in a couple of months

@TheGodbaba95 3 года назад

Dude you can summorize the entire software development field as "professional googlers", you are basically paid to figure shit out. No one is mad because you didn't know something, you only get shit for it if you are not willing to figure things out and make mistakes to learn how to do things. Don't be afraid to ask questions and make mistakes and you will be fine.

Dude why you only have less than 10k subscribers. I've been studying CS since 2013 and this is hands down the most helpful video I've ever come across. RU-vid algorithm makes no sense sometimes. But keep going you'll get way more I'm sure ;)

Is it sad that I think this looks fun? I have many years of coding experience and I'm currently in university studying to become a software engineer in the UK. Honestly, this is exactly the kind of life I want. I more or less already do a lot of things similar to what you portray in this video, and so far I absolutely LOVE it! edit: Yeah I can hear myself now. This is sad.

@someoneontheinternet3090 3 года назад

Is loving what you do for a living sad? No. It's not. Eating cereal with water and putting the water on first is sad.
