It’s been a long time since I’ve learned a new technology purely for fun 🎨. If you have any tips/tutorials to recommend, please let me know! @BenQGlobal sent me their 32” GW series Eye-Care monitor and the coding mode actually makes a huge difference. In this mode, the screen becomes super contrasty and saturated so that it’s very easy to read and write code. Plus the white monitor fits right i...
Do you use HYSA for the sinking funds or just regular ones?
I use my HYSA for sinking funds
@@yourfriendintech thank you. Loved the video, I subbed!
@Pozoe12 thanks! Glad it was helpful
hello can you share you cv were the internship remote or onsite?
My internships were all onsite (pre-covid)
@@yourfriendintech man i really need your help am not sure how i can contact you am from kenya 3rd year as a developer just woking freelance web developer that is really hard to find in my country kenya i just hope some day i will land a job just like you.
I know why most of the peopel said me not to become a software engineer . I'm becoming oneeee , Thank u i was lost a bit . I'm 15 years old . Tryna improve my skills
How do you balance CZcams and work?
I’m still learning how to balance it tbh. It’s a lot of building the right systems, time management, and discipline.
You should make a video on what to invest and how to invest, I'm a noob when it comes to investing.
Great idea! In the meantime I recommend checking out Ramit’s book I linked in the description. If you have access to a library you can get it for free. It’s important to be educated especially when it’s your money on the line.
I was gonna say...how long did your visit to the Salesforce building take? did you just go on your lunch break? And did you end up just condensing all of your work into the other hours and haul ass and got your tasks done? I feel like if I take a few hours out of my workday, I gotta stay a bit after 5pm to play catch up lol. And I work remote lol
Yeah I’m the same way. Some days are less busy than others but I average about 8 hrs a day
My gosh San Francisco is beautiful. I enjoyed your week-long vlog.
Love seeing SF in a nice light. In the media, all you hear is the negative stuff. Always so jealous seeing the google offices 😍
💯 SF has so many amazing things happening. You've inspired me to start showing more of the good side of the city
Yoo Brodie, how are you just that about its been a while seeing you now you are back, please increase the video count, cheers ❤
I’ve been good! I mostly post on Instagram these days but I’m coming out with a vlog later this month. Thanks for checking in!
Jon 🤠🙌 different shots in the beginning was freakin awesome! I paused and said, oh shit is he leaving Google haha 😂
hahaha thanks TJ!!
Throw the apps in dock to desktop it will be removed rather than options and remove from dock
Honestly keep the hat I’m attached to it now…
When I hit 25k I’ll do a vid with no hat!
Nice video bro, It would be great if you share your interview experience, and preparation strategies through a discord server.
I cover these topics in my Q&A video series if you’re interested
@@yourfriendintech 👍👍
Watching from the Philippines. I really admire your vlogs about your life as software engineer. I am a Com.Eng. student and loves to have the same work as you, sir! Continue inspiring people like me.❤
Glad it’s helpful! 🇵🇭
The level of detail is insane!
Thank you! I appreciate it 🙏🏼
love it jon. such a vibe
thanks Jacob!! ✨
you had me in the first minute 🤣
LOL I debated so long on whether or not to keep it in the video
wow @brianruizy we are waiting for another video we are missing them a lot I know it takes time to make them 😊when you upload we shall be waiting
@@yourfriendintech subscribed bro👍 😊
What helped on your learning journey that made you good at coding?
Making my own personal projects. It helped me build my skills, increased the amount of time I coded so I had more practice, and it opened doors for me when I applied to internships and jobs because I was able to add those projects to my resume.
Nice video 😀
Thanks Tobias!
Does PhD in computer science help in salary boost in tech Industry?
It can, but your skills and experience in the role play a larger role
Skills come first, a place like Google very much values PhD’s but you need to be good either way if you’re aiming for Google and that mostly comes down to who you are and are you knowledgeable and disciplined.
Trying a new vlogging style 🤳🏼 lemme know what you think! *and remember to hit the like button on the video, it really does help me out :)
Really, think twice before you buy and try it. The object is so so heavy and difficult to move that you are put off before even using it. As a result, you don't use it or hardly ever !
Ah sorry to hear that. I use mine pretty much every day but I don't have any issues lifting it. For anyone reading: it's 62 lbs which can be heavy depending on your strength. You can carry it from the lighter side and let the wheels do the heavy lifting so I would say it's more like lifting 25-30lbs and then it's much easier to wheel it wherever you want it to go.
@@yourfriendintech I should have add that if you haven't a strong back (my case) try before. In fact mine is just below my ergonomic desk, so i cannot stand up so it makes me hard to move it. And in this case, it is really difficult and anyway it is heavy. My purpose is not to say that it is not good, don't get me wrong but my advice is to try how it is easy (or not) to move it in order to get a good idea :-) Thanks for your opinion ;-)
All good! Your review is super helpful. I didn't have any issues with lifting it so I didn't think to mention how heavy it actually is. Thanks for sharing.
Were you a beta male before or did google cut your balls off you over time? Cheers
Is cloud computing good choice to get a job at google in future . ❤
Depends on how you define good! Things you’ll want to consider are: pay, location, team culture, types of projects you can expect to work on, your own person skills, potential for career growth, etc.
Jon you're such an inspiration to me and everyone of your subs. Thank you for making your videos I really enjoy them:)
Thanks Jake! I really appreciate you saying that 🙏🏼
Show me the money
Love your vids Jon!! I remember your video on Apprenticeships at Google and I wanna apply, do you know when applications open this year?
Thank you! Sorry I haven’t heard anything about this year’s application dates
I got laid off in April. I’m gonna miss 345 Spear 😔
oh man, I'm so sorry to hear that. how are you doing?

This is a good reminder to me to actually try the Pomodoro timer. I’ve tried to use one before but never truly committed to it for any great length of time.
Lmk how it goes! I used to think I was a pro at multitasking, but I get so much more done when I’m focused on one single thing. And the dedicated breaks to do whatever is nice too 🙂↕️
Lol, sets do not disturb and spends most of the day making video's.
Please remember that you are not watching “most of my day”. You are only watching the parts of my day that I filmed.
i cant typing ~ this
You can
I'm joining Google at Brazil in August. Looking forward to be your colleague!
Congrats Igor!! 👏 that’s really exciting!

I’m good! How are you?
Love the video, as usual, Jon! Great Job!
I appreciate you Jacob!
Wait how are you still working remotely at Google, I thought they got rid of that?
It still exists but I’m hybrid now
✌️👌
Thanks Priya! 😄

Ha yes how can using AI and work and information
Great video
Thank you!
Camp EDC!! I miss it!!😭🥲
Same!! It was my first time going this year, core memory for sure
i hope you're doing well! i appreciate seeing slice of life videos like this, i really admire your commitment to making videos and finding time even on your break to shoot
Thanks Kendra! I'm still trying to find the right balance, but creating content with no expectations has been super helpful in actually getting outside to film stuff. Hope you're doing good too!!
if you dont take off your hat this video you owe me a referral at google
😂 I’m sorry I keep forgetting
i like to watch this kind of content but idk why they put korean girl music on background which give fairy girly enviroment like vibes... grow up bro be a man

What was that song at the end?
"How About Forever" by Vicki Vox
Hi, nice video! I'm a software engineer too! I think a contributing factor to burn out could be that you may be prioritising and finding fullfilment/purpose in life in things that are largely outside of your control e.g. career success, youtube consistency/success etc. The problem with that is as soon as things aren't going how you expected them to go or planned them out in your head it has a big impact on your mental health. I feel like this is a common problem with people who have been high achievers since a young age which makes it harder for them to be content/happy in life.
Thanks for sharing! I think you’re right on the money
Thank you for this video! Really appreciate the realness and honesty in the first have about life LIFING! I hope this message finds you well, I love all your content. I know at the end of the day you'll be ok. Sending well wishes to your family member ❤
Thank you! That means a lot
Great video, forget the haters Jon 🔥
Thank you! I appreciate it 🙏🏼
