Welcome to another one of my day in the life vlog. I'm a software engineer at Meta/Facebook and I decided to check out the tallest Meta office on one of the days of my recent trip to New York City. This is not a typical work day for me and this video has a bit more lifestyle mixed in compared to my first work vlog video.

Wow sir! It seems like you too are a big lover of food just like me. I feel very calm to watch you having savoury dishes and doing your work as an engineer. Please keep making such great and amazing videos for people like me. 😊

Bro I know that a lot of youtubers say it's awkward to record videos of food and them eating, but for me personally it's quite cool to see what you're eating and that you're eating in general. I'm probably just a bit weird, but yea the shots of you eating weren't too long or too short. Love the video man!

5:27 - I’d rather see more of the food options, not just what you selected and ate. Maybe pause over the food counter item labels so we can see? It’s basically food porn lol. Sometimes KZfaq videos move too quickly and you can’t actually see or read what is there which is frustrating. Many thanks 😊

@eastcoast4233 Жыл бұрын

@@fizzyfee12 Differently. It’s not a question of feeling bad for anyone. It’s about whether this was a boom and bust situation, whether tech companies expanded too far too fast, and were managed well. Lots of articles being written on just that. The question has depth, but people need to pause to consider it.
