good morning friends we are going to do a day in the life of a software developer
uh today i'm going to take you along with me to my co-working space i'm also going to be what else
are we doing today i'm going to share with you some different technologies i use um at work right
now as well as different projects i'm on what else are we talking about today oh also as you
may know i recently posted by the time this video is up a new video about building nfc and going
through a tutorial building an nft together and i'm just really continuing on with my journey for
blockchain and just finding different resources about it and actually you know what let's
continue this conversation sitting down i want to share with you something i recently discovered
okay that's much better do you want to know crazy fact over 50 of the world's laptops pcs mobile
phones are idle at this very moment yes let that sink in but what exactly does that mean well for
one it means that there are billions of dollars of hardware that could be utilized for good i
recently shared with you about Cudos which is a blockchain-based distributed computing network
and i wanted to share more about them with you and how they are helping the environment Cudo's
decentralized cloud solution helps the environment by utilizing spare computing resources the network
is carbon neutral and soon to be carbon negative they are calculating electricity that is being
used and balancing this with carbon credits which is funding projects to protect the environment
many people aren't even aware of the carbon footprint of data centers and i really wanted
to bring this to your attention if you are like me and are interested in learning more about this
and Cudos i have linked their website telegram and discord all down in the description so make sure
to go check them out okay let's get into my day in the life i'm really excited to take you with me
today and walk you through what a day is like for me every day is completely different to be honest
well yeah it kind of is especially what i'm working on which is exciting some days though
i might be working on a ticket for a few days or uh different defects or different things like that
but one of my favorite parts about my job is that i'm constantly working on different parts of code
and it makes every day kind of fun and exciting because you're solving problems
that are new and that you haven't faced yet okay so today i'm just looking at my calendar
i'm going to go to the co-working space paul is also going to come along with
me um he also as you know is my boyfriend and is a full-time entrepreneur he has a bunch of
different businesses on the go but usually we don't go to the co-working space together but
because i'm filming i'm dragging him along with me so let's go check out the co-working space
okay we are on our way to our co-working space paul is coming with me so he is the one filming
so as you know i go to a co-working space about two times a week and it really helps
me i feel like just get out of the house have a different change of scenery and um yeah it's
because ever since i started working i've been working from home and i just feel like getting
out of the house and having a reason to dress up and get ready is just essential and it gives me
time to myself oh here we go yeah it's true even though you're coming with me today i know
i have my own work to do yeah it's true anyways first things first though before we do anything
as always the most important thing the most important thing in the world is coffee coffee
we're on our way to take off don't do anything without coffee highly unadvisable it is it's true
hey yo
we basically just went in and stole a free coffee exactly that's what it looks like
ritual ritual ordering ahead honestly i love it
we're on our way to our co-working space um
i feel like i have a lot of work i need to get done today and i know it's typically easier to
work with monitors especially when you're coding but honestly some days you just need to get out
of the house i feel like otherwise i just i stare at my screen stare at my monitors so
it's worth the sacrifice of removing two monitors just to be in a different environment
okay so i'm sitting here i have my little setup and it's really quiet today um sorry
i'm like jiggling you it's really quiet today here because i think we're here pretty early and it's
just still quiet which is nice so um today i'm working on a new feature as for those of
you who don't know i'm currently working on um an angular project so as a software developer
and technical consultant it really means that i am always working on different projects and i
really like that because i feel like it pushes me out of my comfort zone a lot of times to do both
front end back end or really whatever is required of me so i've been working on an angular project
for a while now and i really like it i thought i would not like angular i'm like a react girl at
heart for the front end side of things but i'm actually really enjoying it so it's been good
um but i really want to get on a project for like blockchain or something like that but
i know i feel like i still need to improve my skills before i even kind of request to get on a
project of blockchain so hopefully though in the next six months that will come but for now
sticking with the angular and um doing that so yeah i'm working on a feature basically how it
works is different parts of the project are broken down into different features that are
coming up and assigned to developers based on difficulty based on the amount of time it would
take and all that so this ticket i am working on i'm hoping it will take me like three days three
days one thing i've learned though as a developer is never give an estimate of timeline i used to
always be like oh to my project manager i'd be like oh it's done in you know two or three days
and then three days comes and it's still not done and they're like you said it would be done now so
biggest tip for anyone who is a developer is do not give a timeline if it's possible you can see
paul in the back taking emails or two cheers okay i'm gonna give you a little tour here um
so you kind of saw already the main floor so we're gonna go upstairs now
it's kind of like the are just like or another kind of hangout
area with like a meeting room which i take a lot of my meetings in yeah
this is my favorite wall
this is another area i really like to work at i usually fit one of these kind
of three little pods here uh i just think that's a nice works up space nice size
show you the view outside i just think it's really nice i'm not gonna go out
there cause it's freezing but you can see the cn tower right there
and um yeah it's not really the patio yeah let me show you the patio
in the summer time this is so nice to sit outside and just i sat there to catch up with like friends
that work here as well but never to actually do work so okay i feel like what you didn't
see on camera is we spent hours here doing a lot of work and it's time to get back to home
okay so we are on our way back home um the dogs as some of you may know go out with their dog uncle
as we call him every day uh so they should be home now because it's getting close to five so i'm
hoping they are home and um gonna feed them gonna feed ourselves and then get in a workout okay
so we got home and i'm here with the boys can't see mexi um i decided for my workout i'm like you
know what i just need to get outside it's actually pretty nice out here today despite it being winter
and freezing but i was like you know what let's get outside and get another walk-in although
they were out all day so now they're essentially walking me i feel like okay we are on the beach i
feel like i look like rudolph again because my red nose okay i feel like it's way too many to talk to
so i don't even know this is gonna work but um i'm hoping to do like a 30 minute walk right now with
the dogs and uh go back and make dinner honestly on the couch and relax today's been really busy
mentally i feel like like just a lot going on and a lot of emails a lot of code
okay i hope you enjoyed that day in the life with me walking through going through the co-working
space some of the technologies i use what else do we do today um coffee which is essential
and just kind of talk to you a little bit about where i'm at you know as many of you
know i'm balancing my busy career which i love also with my business tiff and tech and
i also too was trying to learn new technologies and sometimes it can feel overwhelming but
i think the secret to it i don't even know the secret but one of my favorite things about it is
i love what i do i love technology and continuing to learn more about technology and sharing that
with you which makes it really fun and i feel like both worlds go hand in hand and it doesn't
make it feel like it's crazy amounts of work or working overtime or anything like that it just
it just works which is really fun so anyways leave in the comments if you want to see more day in the
lives and what you want to see or day in the lives and what you want to see throughout my day if you
want to see more detail or specifics on different things leave in the comments if you haven't
