BRAND NEW 2ND EDITION - Keeping it Wholesome - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e7KihNyGrrfPmY0.html I personally prefer Eatware Engineering. Software? Pass.

If I don't see a dude browsing stackoverflow and banging the head on the table it ain't real.

Give a man a program, you frustrate him for a day. Teach a man to program, you frustrate him for a lifetime.

Maybe I'm just an introvert but why on earth people want to hang out with their co-workers after work? Like, I see you at least 40 hours a week, last thing I want to do in my free time is to see you again

"I don't care how many puppies you have at work. After my 8 hours, I'm out." As someone who works with animals, this is so relatable

Jesus, must be nice to get paid to eat free food, pet dogs and play chess. My days were spent plastered in front of a screen, exhausting my brain until I felt nauseous. I know you mentioned 11 hour days but it seems they do maybe 2 hours of work lol

"I don't care how many puppies you have at work . After my 8hrs I am out." LOL 😂😂

You're like the Edward Snowden of corporate life.

Really hit the jackpot with my job. Full remote, no set hours. CEO asks us to log at least 30 hours a week. Been there seven months and still feels too good to be true.

4 hours of stack overflow, 2 hours of staring blankly at the screen. 1 hour of pointlessly examining trello. 45 minutes of trying to get git to cooperate, 15 minutes of coding. Next day: 8 hours of unit testing

Unpopular opinion:: Here's my life as a software engineer: 1. I used to be *really* passionate about coding. Like really really into it. I learned by myself, I used to make pizzas for a living and in my spare time I forced myself to learn to code. I forced myself and forced myself until I found it fascinating. I used to sleep 4 hours a day just so I could have time to learn. I skipped clubbing and going out just to learn and after some time I could create things from nothing. Everything I wanted the program to do, it did. Every mistake and any success was because I made it happen. Fast forward I get hired to some small companies (2 or 3) then I move on to a couple of multinational ones. 2. After two years and a half I've lost all my passion for coding, I no longer have the curiosity I once had, I'm stuck in meetings that are pointless time-wasters and I'm surrounded by managers who think they know best. You've never written a line of code in your life and you're going to tell me how to manage my project? Really? Tell me more friend. It's like cab drivers telling astronauts how to pilot their spaceship. 3. Here's a typical day in my life: Get to work at 9(and I'm *never* fkin late bitches), do daily stand-up until 9:30-40ish, get in the next meeting from 10 to 11 with the client explaining wtf is going on. 11:00-11:10 break. 11:10-12 Read emails. 12:00 - 13:00 Lunch. 13:00-14:00 Another meeting with the client and SMEs of the process. Break + actual code until 15:00 when we need to have another meeting with devs from other teams explaining their bs written and rushed documentation that makes no sense to anyone. 16:00 - 17:30 Break + reading docs + coding. Leaving at 17:30 4. That's most days for me. It sucks, it takes a loooong time to get anything done, you need approvals from X who needs it from Y who in turn needs some docs who have to be gotten from some dude and it takes ages. Companies are highly inefficient in today's fast paced world. 5. Sorry for the long post. If you are passionate about coding, find it fascinating and if writing anything and then seeing it work makes you feel like a God then please please don't join corporations. Work for yourself. Write something and sell it, freelance, hustle, whatever. Just don't go working for these soul crushing motherfuckers. It's no one's fault really but the concept of a company and the way they handle things is outdated and wrong. It's slow, filled with people who enforce their opinions on you, hipsters, idiots, etc. I haven't learned a God damn thing in all these years working for corporations. They suck everything out of you and when you have nothing left they throw you away like the empty carcass you have become. Yeah and Joshua is right. All those people on Insta and FB posting about how cool their free food is and how they get to play and etc. Do those people look like they get anything done? Lol. If I'm staying 11 hours at work and I'm only actually working 2 hours a day, I'll be one pissed off dude at the end of the day. Because I've just wasted 9 hours of my life doing useless shit with people that I really have no interest in. Because they're snakes licking up to management. Don't even get me started on those. Jesus Christ

*Company advertisement vs reality...* Company advertisement: - Socializing - Free coffee - Free food - dogs - more free food - more dogs - more Socializing - We care about you! Reality: - We need you to finish this project before yesterday - Now that you have an impossible deadline we need you in these 22 meetings for no good reason! - Is it done already? - We want you to add these 666 (and counting) stupid and utterly useless features to the project, Immediately! - Is it done already? - We need you in this meeting! - What do you mean with 'changing project requirements will delay the deadline' ??? Get your work done, or be fired! - We need you in this meeting! - Can you fix the office printer? NOW! - Is it done already? - Why is the alpha version of our software so buggy? Fix it! Also add these 999 features and remove half of those previously added features. Deadline stays the same! - You will get a free cookie after finishing the project! - We need you in this meeting! - We need you in this meeting! - We need you in this meeting! - We need you in this meeting! - Is it done already? - Please do these changes on a previous project, while continue your work at the current project, while being in the next meeting for a future project. NO DELAYS! - Is it done already? - Is it done already? - Is it done already? - Why is our projects deadline overdue? - What do you mean 'beta testing'? SHIP IT! - Why is our customer having a panic attack on the phone, telling me that their company database keeps crashing when someone opens our software? FIX IT! - Our company will merge with another company, management get's a 7 to 8 figure bonus and a free yacht, all you code monkeys are fired, here is your promised cookie!

They have to code at night cuz they were eating food the whole day. Lmaooo

As an introvert, this is honestly how I'd imagine my personal hell

Wait, do all Software Engineering jobs have lofi hip hop playing 24/7?

The boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that's why I poop on the companies time, a motto to live by people.

Anytime someone is giving free food you should be asking yourself: what is the catch?

The last thing I wanna do is chess with my co workers lmao

Not trying to be biased but I totally see why the last guy's video is the best representation for a DaY iN tHe LiFe oF a SoFtWaRe EnGiNeER

This man Is like the content cop of software Engineers 😂

8 hour days are even too long. In the modern first world we should have moved to 6 hour days at most ages ago

The google model: we have everything, including doctors, in house. Do not go home ....

JOB REQUIREMENTS -Candidate should have at least 3+ years experience eating free food -A MacBook with stickers on the back -Candidate must be comfortable making $100k+ a year doing nothing

6.30 AM: Wake Up | 8.30 AM: Head out | 9.00 AM: Get to the Office | 9.10 AM - 4.30 PM: Stack overflow| 4.30 PM - 5.00 PM: Coding| 5.10 PM: Head out of Office|

I’m a 35 year old married python developer. You nailed it on the head.

this woman was later fired for taking three launch break and 2 puppy breaks a day

while True: Morning: why this code doesnt work Night: why this code doesnt work

"I don't care how many puppies you have, after 8 hours I am out". I thought exactly same

Lmaooo me on my internship last summer. I worked my 8 hours then dipped😭

The 80/20 rule really comes into play at companies that treat their employees like this - 80% of the people do 20% of the work and 20% of the people do the other 80% of work

Young tech workers don't seem to realise that these "benefits" are usually there to accommodate for the toxic work culture or grueling projects with tight deadlines. If you ever see a project manager come to your desk with pizza, RUN! Because they are trying to convince you to work overtime for no compensation. Whatever you do, it may sound strange but never go the extra mile for your company because they don't care about you, they are exploiting you. I've been working as a developer for 6 years now and when a recruiter tells me "They have free snacks, fruit, a ping pong table and a beer on Fridays!" and I think to myself "Who do you think I am? A child?!"

That's the life: play food, eat dogs and pet chess

A lot of (young) people don't realize these "look at this great life" videos are meant to be "dissociate for a few minutes and live vicariously thru this fantasy I made up" videos. It's basically escapism like reading a YA fantasy novel. Which is fine if you realize that's what ur doing. But when (mostly young) ppl start believing it's real, that's when we gotta pump the breaks a bit. So thank you for the pumping the breaks 👍

About to be a college graduate in CS. Joshua, thank you. KZfaq is literally filled with this garbage nonsense and honestly I just want to see things for how they really are. You’ve opened my eyes on what to really expect, and I’m grateful. This is the realest CS channel ever 🙏🏼

I cannot imagine a deeper level of hell than a job that's just meetings all the time.

If there isn't a guy banging his head on the table, or another guy feeling like jumping off the building's rooftop, then I won't believe it as real

Head on! Normal work hours should be 8 hours...and in my opinion even less! There is more to life for God's sake!

For some reason the idea of looking at stack overflow for 6h and banging my head against my desk seems more appealing then most of the things in this video

Maybe it's not as common as i think it is, but i am a Developer, and i am quite introvert, so having these "Team eatings" every day would stress me out more than it would make me happy just because i can't stand being around a lot of people i don't know very well. I am much more happy working my 8:30 and going straight home because i also have shit to do at home and still want to have some hours to relax in order to recoup for the next workday.

From when I was working for Google in it's Dublin office: 7am: Turn off the alarm clock repeatedly because you are dead tired from staying up most of the night.. 7:40: Finally wake up because you know you're gonna be late af to your 8am job... 7:50: Finishing up the last morning rush and calling an Uber and thinking to yourself damn, what a waste of money again 8:10: Arrive to work, apologize to team leader for being late again... 8:20: Get a lot of coffee, work, work, work, think about lunch break 12pm: Lunch break, see your few work buddies if they wanna go to McDonalds, eat their own stuff or go to downstairs restaurant. 12:30: Back to work, more coffee 1:30: Bored... Tired... Start doing side stuff 3pm: Completely immersed into doing something completely irrelevant to your job description - probably reading through ideas for character build in the game you play... 5pm: Fuck yea, finally I'm outta here and go finish levelling up my mage! 5:30: Home sweet home, HOPING that noone calls you for some extra tasks Rinse and Repeat!

You hit the nail on the head with this one, never had a Job which was even remotely social. This is a lonely job.

Those people have balls of steel posting videos of them doing two hours of work a day.

There's a massive scarcity of high skilled software developers so Big Tech has an incentive to romanticise the job, get young people inspired to develop the skillset required to be turned into little stressed out desk monkeys.

goes to work in morning *stays for the rest of her life*

As a fresh graduate at work, I feels like i wanna die everyday

( I don't care how many puppies you have at work, after my 8hours I'm out) 👍🏼 golden. Much respect to you ma man

Dude I love how you are so down to earth and deliver red pills like its christmas in the matrix. Keep it up.

As a developer and an introvert, meetings are the BANE of my existence. I like having a short team meeting in the morning, great. If I'm having 3 meetings a day, things are getting annoying. Anything beyond that, and I don't want to talk with my wife after work, much less chill with the team.

I want to work 8 hours a day and have some less incentives like free food, instead working 13 hours with free food, your job is not your life

This reminds me of my old job. Basically I was supposed to be a software dev, but I was stuck working as an online sales rep in this warehouse and the boss had all these great and amazing ideas and on and on and on. As far as the warehouse went, we pretty much exclusively worked upstairs. The downstairs area had a few vehicle bays that we used for the company van, and that's where the boss's (frequently vacant) office was. He liked working from home, but he had a pretty swanky office at the warehouse. Why? Good question. One day he decides that there's a pretty big area of the warehouse that just... isn't being used. And he's right, we just stored a bunch of junk computer parts there and I sold them. Roughly 3,500 lbs of junk being moved up the rickety wooden steps and about a week later, he bought a few exercise mats... weights... aaaand a ping pong table. My manager (who was friends with the CEO to begin with) asked him "Why the fuck did you buy this, dude?" And they laughed about it at first, but he basically said "We just need to have more fun, and it can make us more productive." I was there for 7 months. The ping pong table was there for 6 months. I never played ping pong. Not that I didn't want to - I wasn't allowed. The only person that ever used any of that stuff was the CEO, and whoever he happened to be having a meeting with. He would brag about how much it boosts productivity, but literally no one was allowed to use it. He basically setup a personal gym for himself, and we weren't allowed to touch it "in case we damaged it," or in my case because "you're productivity is low enough - you can't afford anymore distractions." I hated that fucking job.

Sigh, I didn't make it to this video :(

I currently work at Mc Donald's in France. I do closing shifts. Sometimes we don't finish in time and we do some overtime to finish cleaning and stuff. Or sometimes the noon rush is too intense and the managers don't make you leave on time. Two caveats with that: 1: If you're supposed to finish at, say, 3PM, and you approach the manager at 3PM and tell them "Hey I gotta go" they'll let you go. And 2: you're paid for that overtime. I'll gladly stay 15-20-30 minutes to help my team *because I know I'm being paid for this time*. I wouldn't do it for free. Neither should you. Here we have a saying, "All work deserves a salary". I'm gonna hold my boss to that.

"You could just pull off stackoverflow in my desktop and put a camera behind me and do day in the life of a software developer." That's it, that's what I've never found in any video that I've ever watched on the internet. Thanks for keeping it real!

Where's the "oh, I got 5 tickets for a different project, so I have to spend the rest of my day setting up the environment, while the Docker crashes 7 times because the project is 6 years old, and then not have any documentation for any of the code"

11:56 "Please don't work 13 hours a day" What do you mean bro, it should be like "please don't eat 13 hours a day"

All those companies with Chai Breaks hire an outsourced company in a third world country that has to do x2 the job making up for all the things that americans didn't do.

Very true. I'm a frontend dev for a bank and I find a lot of the job is Google searching, looking up GitHub issues, Stackoverflow, Medium articles, CSS tricks - the list goes on! We would maybe have one day each couple of months like those "day in the life" videos - usually a Friday when there's a company-wide event on in the afternoon - we will often schedule meetings on these days as we know not much is going to get done anyway, and go for a team lunch for a burger and a beer.

5:37 "I don't care how many puppies you have, after 8 hours I'm out" LOL 😂👌

Josh, how dare you be realistic on social media...Im calling the internet on you.

Dude, I did my college, Got a job in another city 200 miles away. My salary was $260/month. I was forced to take that job since my parents didn't want me to find my passion. They just want me do whatever work I got I had to work 14 hours/day and 6 days/week. ZERO perks since the office was the house of the person who runs the company... Had to pay my rent, take care of food and travel with that $260/month. Had no friends or anything. I didn't understand the language of the city. I used to get anxious and nervous whenever my phone chimes or rings. The heart starts pounding heavily... I start breathing heavily...Your head starts hurting...It's a horrible horrible feeling. I wouldn't wish that for my enemy I never wanna experience that again. After 6 months, I got myself into depression, didn't wanna go back to work and Finally, I quit that job after 8 months. I curse that company goes into the gutter. They should not do that to any other living being ever again!!! Sometimes being without a job feels better than being in a job...

I wish more people would realise there is more to life than work. My dad is a true workaholic, has always been. He works from Monday to Saturday every week and always overtime like 10 hours and still gets shitty pay considering he has 40 years of experience. He was and sadly still is the kind of person you don't wanna be around. Always stressed, always yelling. I wish he spent more time with us kids and showed us more love instead of working all the time and being in a bad mood. He just got a little raise and was over the moon. But in reality inflation has made sure he still gets as much for his money as he did 10 years ago. Well.. Done... Dad...

"everyone's posting the best parts of their jobs...", pretty much. I worked part-time at a school as an administrative assistant. If I recorded my days where I attended the office pizza party, the office bake-off, the birthday bashes, got to leave early, played my co-workers new Switch in front of my boss and she didn't care because she was too busy trading jokes with him and the days where I brought my lap-top to work to play 7 Days to Die all day while still getting paid hourly for just being present, it would probably excite people. However, if I showed them the more common days where I had to sit for 3+ hours doing nothing because the full-time people were at lunch/meetings and I had to wait there for them to get back to give me work or clearance info. or when I had to come in on days where everyone was gone for vacation or when I had to do the jobs of three other people for months but not get their pay or I had huuuuundreds of students files every single week to read, edit, approve, data entry, audit, file, and so on before the deadline that was already behind, all day long, I doubt people would be as excited. Do you know what your eyes start to do when you've been trying to read student handwriting for 7 hours straight? After the 203rd sheet of the day....shite gets weird....

Your realness is so refreshing. I wish everyone who talks about their jobs didn't try and sell it and just stated how things are. Thank you! I'm glad I found your channel.

I needed this! It's so so true - most "day in the life of a programmer" videos are just the highlights and they sensationalise it and make it look like nothing goes wrong in this sort of job. For instance: I don't have any friends at work, I'm usually staring at the screen like "what is it?" every 20mins in the day, there have been awkward arguments in my team, the food isn't all that and shouldn't be the highlight of working as a dev and I get woken up at the crack of stupid when I'm on support for a week. But of course, there are perks like every job but it's not peachy in every aspect - like any job, there are pros and cons.

Finally Some one who doesn’t eat 13 meals a day

This channel is the cure for impostor's syndrome lol!

These corporations are doing what they can in replacing whole lifes of their employees. Soon you'll have team sleepovers and team weekends, you'll basically be in the office 24/7. In my opinion: - I want to work for these 8 hours and then leave the office - 90% of meetings are a waste of developer's time - Don't replace your life with job

My fiancé is a software engineer and he works remotely, all the meetings are an absolute reality, but very happy he works almost strictly 9-5pm.

They are trying to sell a lifestyle. And some people, especially young people like the idea of that. But in the end it's just work and it should be separated. I read about this company that changed their working hours to 6 hours a day instead of 8 but there would be no lyfestile b/'s just work. But you get the same pay. They saw a huge upshoot in productivity. This whole mindset of having to work from 9 till 5 (and here that's not even 8bhours because your lunch time is on you(but forced)) Imagine getting to work at 9 and being done at 4. Plenty of time in the morning to go to the gym, do a hobby, sleep in, do the morning with kids. And at 4 plenty of time for the store/relaxing/nap/kids. It relives stress and in turn makes people more productive.

You’re not an engineer unless you’re stressed, exhausted and high on caffeine.

So according to these, day of work is: -Wake up at around 7AM -Go to work -Do some work(?) for 2 hours -Get coffee with your team -Eat -Drink more coffee -Eat more -Drink alcohol -Pet dogs -Eat more -Go home -Eat dogs -Pet more -Sleep

There’s no stackoverflow and there’s no tears. Call me when it gets authentic 😤😤

I'm just imagining Jocko Willink saying "Yeah that's pretty unrealistic." 😂

This looks like a luxury resort. Puppies, video games, free food, chess.. etc. Damn

Got 2 kids, I'm the hell out of there after 8 hours no matter how much the boss and coworkers look at me.

I‘ve been working in PR agencies. We had many 11h days, sometimes more, sometimes without anything but a few smoke breaks, no lunch. Had a colleague faint and the boss wanted her to finish the press release when she regained conscience. We got paid a minimum wage - on the 40h in our contract, not the 60h we actually did. I am learning code like a beast because apart from it being so fun - career wise, I can only improve. Hell, I’d take an 11h day from time to time if I can do something more meaningful than mincing words. And actually get paid enough to afford being alive. LOL

11 Hours a day 5 days a week would be ridiculous for a long term strategy. But for people who are just starting out, who love programming, that would easily be achievable. I've worked 12 hour shifts in factories and call centers. If I was doing something I loved, this would be so much easier.

This kind of Team Chai Time and Team Puppy Time shit exists, but yeah, no one actually does any work except a few poor bastards who everything falls upon. So basically you have your pretty people who are just like props (not React props, but like... movie props) who the company sets up to make it look like everyone is happy and content and stable. But then you have the guys like me who have to pull all-nighters 3-4 times a week so the thing actually gets launched... Better software, with happier workers, would get developed if there were more -workers- working for less time (as in not all-nighters). These "Day in the Life of Software Engineer teehee Here's My Insta teehee" videos are straight up propaganda.

I left a job that had 12-hour shifts. They pitched it as "work 4 days for 12 hours then you get 3 days off every single week!" Which seemed nice on the surface. But it ended up turning into working 5, 6, or even 7 days a week. On the rare occurrence I had 3 days off, they were never connected. While the money was decent, that's no way to live your life. You need to take care of yourself!

I dunno where the "Software Engineer" part is.

Before the heavenly wfh because of the outbreak, this was my schedule (After I decided to not do 12-18 hours day, I literally did them for the first 6 months of my job). 8:45 - Get Up 9:15 - Leave for work 9:30 - Have breakfast before entering the office. 9:45 - Clock in. 9:45-11:30 - Work on the ticket. 11:30 - 12 - Coffee in break room and few rounds of Bomb Squad with other freshers. 12:00-1:00 - More Work 1:00-2:00 - Lunch Time (Eating lunch and going for a drive, going to bank, talking a walk somewhere in a park or maybe go to flat and game a little.) 2:00-4:30 - More work, interact with other team members, make the commits required for the day. 4:30 - 5:00 - Coffee or tea in the breakroom (we had a sitting area that had partial wall in front of it so you could do whatever u wanted if u positioned yourself correctly, I used to to take a quick nap.) 5:00-6:30 - Interact with testers, fix small issues related to the ticket, get everything reviewed, complie daily status and finish off with sending mails and other official stuff. 6:30 - f off from the premise (Although managers would be angry sometimes as they expect you to sit till atleast 8:00 pm). 6:30 - 12:30 personal time hang out with other friends, play counter strike with buddies or go out for a drink before going to bed. It toook me 6 months to finalize this schedule, and I thank this channel for that. Before seeing your videos I used to work atleast 12 hours a day, during the first 6 months, I took only 5 days off (I worked on saturdays, sundays and gazetted holidays in hope that I would be allowed to take a week off during the new year but I was barely given 2 days). I had a week where I worked 18 hours for 7 days straight. In the end, others who copied from other people and left on time got the promotions, while we were expected to do even more and even got scolded a lot of times for underperforming. That was the breaking point for me, the more you work, the more they expect you to work. They were not happy with 18 hour workdays with features being churned out everyday, so I gradually decreased the amount of WD and now nobody even cares, they are happy that I do the assigned work on time. Since Work from home, I use the weekends to complete my tasks really fast, and enjoy rest of my days. I got new tasks in July, I had already completed them but the management does not know, so now will the end of September, I am basically free. I just commit small parts of my work daily to make them think I am doing all this work everyday. Pardon my English.

I really appreciate your open and honest expressions. I had a job at a business that outsourced software QA to bigger clients and they tried very hard to play the game like the big dogs; free soda, tons of free candy, free coffee, company lunches, ping pong, foosball, a Wii U. Myself and a close co-worker worked for the most difficult client in the company and nobody wanted to work with them, we handled all their projects like bosses and we started liking to play ping pong on our breaks and lunches... that ended soon because other people complained we were too loud or quote "having too much fun". We quickly realized all these fun things they offer are just a rouse, a way of making the company seem attractive to newbs but you aren't actually supposed to be using them or having fun.

This video is needed because too many companies, not just software companies, take advantage of employees.

These videos are actually incredibly realistic depending on where you work. I'm in one of these environments. It's meetings after meetings, food breaks after food breaks. You're there for 8-12 hours a day. Maybe half of day is actually getting real work done. I don't want to say, "This is not real" it's entirely real in San Francisco and similar jobs. However I don't know if it's good and it's definitely not something you are going to experience at every job, unless you jump from large tech company to another large tech company and so on. It's really important to establish your own boundaries or else you'll find yourself working constantly.

Even with all the cons I’ve heard, I still can’t wait to work in software development. It sounds way better than what I was doing before (behavior therapy).

"I highly doubt you're coding and eating" \*looks at the sandwich on my desk\* yeah nah

Unfortunately it isn't 8 hours work, 8 hours free time, and 8 hours sleep. It is actually more like this: -preparing for work and eating breakfast in the morning ~1 hour. -8 hours of work -30 minutes-1 hour break -2 hours of traffic (for some people even more). I assumed that you live away 1 hour from your job. You drive that 2 times a day. -Eating dinner

In these glittery videos, no one gives you the one-month testimony when the #workworkwork! magic wears off and suddenly realize you've become the lowest tier in the corporate food chain, bought with puppy pets, chai time and other crappy intangible currency you can't take home

It's like they have no friends or family outside of work. Like, I get on well with co-workers but I have friends and interests I'd much rather be spending my free time with than you.

I think this video comb out who really don't want to be a developer. If you want to be a developer for playing XBOX or free foods, probably you are in wrong way. Thanks for this realistic video.

Honestly, Id rather work in a cold damp dark cell then work in that place. It looks so forced/fake happiness. I work in a small office, we have a very chill atmosphere, people wear whatever they like, you can bring your dog in, if its well behaved, and you can listen to music etc. We get fruit provided on Monday that usually last till about wed/thu and every once in a while we have a team evening out. Apart from that you sit at a desk and you code or design or whatever you role is. Which personally I love. I'm not there to make friends or to play ping pong, I'm there to earn my money and do what I enjoy doing which is coding, then at 5pm I want to go home and see my wife and my dog and enjoy my personal time! Life is too short to work 11/12 hour days constantly. Fuck that!

Figuring it out and stare at stack overflow, 70% you don't know what you doing but somehow it works out. After 8 hours of work, you just wanted to go for workout, take good shower, watch 1-2 eps of Netflix and finally sleep early so the next day your brain doesn't lag. That's sound nice

I remember a Japanese office having a farm animals the employees could pet. They even reduced their working days to 4 days instead of shorter hours during weekdays from 8 to 6 hours.

The beating your meat part cracked me up 😂😂😂😂

This video in on point! I have had 4-5 Developer jobs, They are definitely not how the "The day in a life" videos portrays them to be.

My day consists of getting ambushed, taking off my headphones, and saying, "I don't know when we can make those changes, you gotta schedule that with our PM".

Putting a Wii in the office sounds more like a deliberate trap that management uses to decide who to lay off first.

I think the videos are actually pretty legit, and this is coming from someone who worked at a software company in the midwest, and in the SF Bay Area. When I switched jobs to work in the SF Bay Area, I noticed the work culture is insanely different! Most people there are young, have no family, are pretty friendly and the work culture is super chill. That said, the interview process for companies in SF, are the toughest in the nation. Also most of the people there are from CMU, UCB, Stanford, UIUC etc.

At my internship I woke up everyday at 6, coded all working hours, went back home coding on the way back, coded all my free time at home, 4 months later I got a job offer and the knowledge I was after. Now I code during my working hours comeback home and never touch code, maybe thinking about the problems I have to solve, but never doing work at home.

The part about puting a sticker with your name on you food or else it gets eaten by someone else and pointing out to other colleagues that their rotting food is stinking up the fridge is so relatable lol
