Could you do a vid focusing on type of projects you do as a quant dev?
i see patrick bateman morning routine copy paste hahaha
and we do like that
Let's gooo
For eyebags get some sort of eye-cream that has vitamin C. Otherwise most of the eye moisturizers are the same formula as the skin moisturizer.
For weight-gain, simply eat more. Generally calorie dense foods are the way to go - oils, nuts, granola (cereals), yoghurt, etc, if your appetite is low. There are different way to achieve this, but a lot of them are a different flavour of CICO. See what tastes good to your palette and eat more of it.
You are quite a disciplined guy! Keep it up! You inspire!
bro haven't watched you in ages, glad to see you back
to gain muscle (not just weight), there's nothing else other than building muscle itself as obvious it may sound. whether you increase the muscle mass by means of hypertrophy or increase density by way of fiber density, doesn't matter. the only way to do this is to push the muscles beyond its capacity so that they can be damaged, then repair themselves in a manner of adapting to the increased stress. of course you need the appropriate nutrition to accomodate the necessary repairs, but just eating more alone will cause unwanted fat mass in terms weight.
We're operating at peak performance.
Also, this was a really interesting to me, I enjoy the personal stuff, cool to have a little window into what you are doing day to day.
this guy is chilling, i thought quants worked 12 14 hour days
Wait a sec, he got there at 6:30am. Said he worked and then the next update was him leaving work at 3pm. That is 8 hours and 30 mins. Take 30 mins off for lunch, and it isn't a chill day. It is a normal hard working day of work xD!! Im sure he could have stayed 12 hours or 14, but we dont know how efficient he is. Nor do I believe that anyone working 12 hours is efficient.
I started work around 5AM (remotely), then continued in-office at 6:30. Ended the day at noon. So in theory 7 hours (7.5 hours if you count lunch). The day prior I did 9 hours so it evens out. Some days I do 1.5 days of work in 8 hours. Counting time doesn’t really make sense in this industry. What matters is deliverables. As for chilll-ness, I’m coding 90% of the time, not playing pool or surfing Reddit like what is shown in other tech companies. Also, no useless meetings.
… but he’s not a quant though. Conveniently forgot to correct you there lol thinking you slick 😂
@@CodingJesus Makes sense.
Hey man just a question don't know if you will see. I saw one of your previous videos on your stock market strategy and investment style. I was wondering if it at all reasonable to try to make a stock market bot and if so what are the best resources to watch/read or learn about this. I guess I just want to do this just to have a good project and because I am interested and to eventually go into trading firms as a quant. But perhaps I'm thinking about it wrong. Any apply would be greatly appreciated :)
Literally playing osrs while watching this. Wasn't expecting it but not surprised XD
For weight gain there's the standard body mass index formula for calories per day - helps a lot. Some more protein but nothing excessive is most important.
From my experience* high intensity training esp.doing a full body circuit (two to three sets of each muscle group in succession)and training close/to failure works the best. This boosts the endocrine system much more than focusing on specific muscle groups only. Repeat two to three times a week🙏
What is the best time, in your opinion, to apply for quant jobs next summer?
Hey man the boxing thing sounds pretty cool to me.
Do you make any runescape bots?
Do you trade on the grand exchange?
Bench barbell row trap pulls 3x8 at 80% intensity + 1.0g protein per pound bw is great for gaining muscle
No time of day for chugging a case of soylent?
Is riding motorcycles in Chicago safe?
😎 can you talk at length about what kinds of strategies your firm employs? HFT, mean-reversion, momentum etc
Nice to see your more personal side, you have many interests.
As for building muscle: you need to prioritize things. It's much harder to gain muscle when you perform boxing classes as well. Most important thing is to be in a slight caloric surplus and to consume about 1 gr of protein (animal-based is best) per pound of bodyweight, as a rule of thumb. Once you know your caloric intake and your weight, you can adjust your caloric intake when needed by adding or subtracting 200-300 kcals. Shoot for about 100 grams a week of weight gain. By doing so, the amount of fat gain will be limited. Hope this helps!
i dont know if anyone has ever said this but you look so much like Reckful, a legendary streamer that passed away in 2020... you're like his doppelganger... this is so awesome as i was a big fan of his, one of the best world of warcraft players and a genius all-around. all the best wishes to you and the growth of this channel...
I don’t think I look anything like him. The only similarity is we’re both Israeli
@@CodingJesus that's okay! i appreciate the reply, and best wishes nonetheless!
Which leetcode problem was that 4:44
if you want to gain muscle count your calories, it's kind of annoying at the start but if you eat the same 4-9 meals (say 3 breakfasts, 3 lunches, 3 dinners) and you just calculate the calories for each of those meals, then mealprep each one 4-5 days. Gives you 27 variations of meals. use a tdee calculator to find out how much you should eat to gain muscle. Then have an extra protein shake on top of those 3 meals.
Which eyeliner do you use? Hhh
i love coding jesus
Let's go!
What is your networth target for financial independence?
Hey Coding Jesus, great video like always, I hope this comment finds you well. I've seen all your videos regarding how to break into quant trading, And you have mentioned that an economics degree is a relatively fine degree to screen an interview. With that said, I can't help but feel a lot of regret for not majoring in math or computer science. I am a 3rd year economics student who is learning programming on the side along with reading all the books that you recommended. But I just can't but feel that I will always be out competed by math, physics, stats, and cs majors. Nonetheless, I will keep moving forward, will try to get the best GPA possible, and get into a good masters program and will hopefully email you in the following years about my success all thanks to you. God bless and keep up the great, meaningful work!
Economics degree graduate with finance experience of 5+ years. Make the switch now! Don't graduate in useless degrees like finance and economics unless you want to be in academia.
To gain muscle, count your calories daily for one week. If you gained 0.5 to 1 pound in that week, keep the same calorie count. Otherwise, adjust accordingly.
I used to be stuck at 135 most of my life. I started tracking calories. Every single ounce of food. It’s not too hard but it makes a difference
For many people a simple diversification of training is a good way to start growth again if you stuck. Try sprinting.
Whats your hair routine? Im trying to grow my hair for the first time.
Thats awesome, I'm also trying to solve 1 leetcode a day. On 188 days so far.
Tips for gaining muscle, yes eating a lot (caloric surplus) will help, but you need at least 8 hours of sleep, all essential amino acids for muscle building, idk them off the top of my head but u can look them up and what foods contain them. Also if u are looking to build size over strength, as u keep adding weight, try to up the reps while u do so, I.e. if u bench 85lbs for 8 reps 3 times, when u add weight to bench 95lbs, don’t stop when u can get 5 reps 3 times, aim for that 8 reps 3 times again. Also, when u do boxing, u neeeeeeed to stay on top of the caloric surplus because boxing is amazing cardio which will burn a LOT of calories and will prevent u from gaining mass
can you please share your Leetcode profile ?
reasons why you might not be gaining weight(specifically muscle) is maybe due to the half hour cardio that you do and maybe you eat less. So the way to go around it is since cardio is good for your cardiovascular health, just start eating extra calories to compensate for the ones you lost during cardio. You should aim to eat around 3000 calories a day and around 100+ gms of protein every single day to put on some muscle mass. It's a process so just be consistent and you will see the results in 4-6months. Also train hard in the gym, so the muscle grows which will also result in weight gain.

Count calories to gain muscle. Find a calorie calculator that measures your height and age and go off that. I had great results doing a 50/40/10 % of calories allocated to carbs/protein/fat (this is very hard to do though but possible with protein shakes, Gold Standard is the cleanest) an easier variant is 55/35/10 since carbs are yummy.
Good sources of protein that I liked is 0% fat Greek yogurt, 98% lean ground turkey, and eggs. There are others but those three were my go to choices. Ground turkey/egg/cheese/salsa burrito was my everyday breakfast.
Focus on muscle recovery too, magnesium is big and also after workout HARIBO GUMMY BEARS. Your muscles need the simple carbs to easily break down and use for repair.
Also creatine supplement are good for muscle growth but I have heard you need to keep up with it to retain the growth.
I went from 165 to 205 in 6 months doing this.
Do your research, create a plan, and get after it.
Runescape? I'll catch you at Tombs of Amascut.
What's up man ❤❤
To gain weight it’s simple but not easy, chicken and rice is super low calorie so you’re gonna need to eat more calorie dense foods, eat like 200 cals above your maintenance and at least 150g protein, and train at an intensity like your life depends on it
If you are trying to just gain weight try adding olive oil to your meals. It has like 100 calories for 1 tablespoon so its easy to add into meals. Also peanut butter is great too. 190 calories for 2 tablespoons.
This is also a great idea ^ oil &/or easy to digest fats pre-workout
Increase your calorie intake by 300kcal over your TDEE. Add a cup of milk to every meal
protein and gainer after training and you'll gain muscles
i think lifting heavy weights , will increase your intake of food, naturally over period of 6 months you will gain, as it is tissue formation, so it takes a lot of time,
one tip:-start tracking calories , app for it is my fitness pal
to gain muscle all you have to do is join the Life Time fitness in River North (all the hottest people go there). Then you will be motivated to actually workout and get gains to get to their level. This wont happen at peasant land planet fitness or even worse - East Bank Club.
Next go to the whole foods in the same building and drink a whole gallon of chocolate milk and soon you will get gains and not be the same weight as a high schooler
interesting :)
to gain muscle you need to be eating a lot more, protein, carbs and fat, force yourself to get more protein, you are 75kg, so try and go to 200grams of quality protein, start with 150g of protein and build up to 200-250g, lift heavy and over eat.
what you eat over your recommended calories should be protein.
For example lets say your maintenance calories is 2500cal, dont jump to 3500cal straight away, go to 2750cal per day for a week, then each week add 250cal of protein to you your diet with the excess calories coming from protein and not fat or carbs.
example
week 1
daily calories = 2500
daily protein = 175g
week 2
daily calories = 2750
daily protein = 200g
week 3
daily calories = 3000
daily protein = 210g
this is a rough. idea of what you can do
lots of eggs, lots of greek yoghurt, meat, fish, cottage cheese.
Bulking is not fun
You look like a good candidate for creatine, and it's a nootropic it helps with brain and circulatory function. Having more water in your muscles makes it easier for them to digest nutrients and heal. and with how lean you are, you're not gonna look bloated from the creatine, just your muscles will Def look full-er.
Hi brother you code in c++ language
You already have muscle on you and have definition. Just add another meal and snack to your day

Weight gain tips: olive oil on your food and in your shakes. And peanut butter
ngl 5 - 1 is elite hours, you should take creatine and do cardio at the end and not the beginning.
to gain muscle, eat more. you need to be uncomfortably full each time and take more bites even if you cant
do kinobody
😘
For weight don't start workouts with cardio and also eat more
to gain muscle with your body type just eat a fuck ton of food (bare minimum your BW in protein, if you don't do that you're failing yourself), and push yourself hard in the gym.
Can you make a video breaking down what you actually coded that day in detail with examples?
I'm sure his firm would appreciate that 💀
Absolutely not.
I almost jizzed when he shows the shirtless pic with near full frontal
you need to eat more that’s why you’re not putting on weight lol you ate like 2 or 3 meals you gotta up those calories up brotha
Final Boss energy
Bro get a mid skin fade and bulk up to 200lbs
Interesting bit about the one leetcode a day. huh.
I don't know anything about how to gain muscle, but I think you are supposed to inject yourself with massive amounts of steroids.
Bro you need to start drinking 5 protein shakes daily
Uhhh... EAT BREAD WITH YOUR CHICKEN/VEGGIES IF YOU WANNA GAIN WEIGHT WITH MUSCLES!
calling urself jesus is crazy
I don't think he believes in Jesus, only God. So he doesn't probably feel bad about doing that.
Millions of people are name Jesus, it’s a popular South American name
@@ronmc1677he has “christ” in his channel banner. Also he’s calling himself “coding jesus”, not “jesus”. He’s saying that he’s really good at coding, not the son of god.
The onlyfans lmfao
Are you short or just skinny
Im a junior software engineer and im better than all u senior software engineers!
eat more
This job needs to be replaced first
Seriously bro . Lol
Rickrolled gang 👺👺
Why do you "duck" your lips so much. Just be natural man, your face is okey, stop with the faces. Anyways, for muscles, something that worked super well for me was to do HARSH cardio for 2 minutes after a workout. If you already broke the fibers in your muscles, you want blood to circulate a lot more. Hence, go all out on a cardio exercise to the point blood oxygen gets low and makes your heartbeat and air intake increase. Even though it is 2 minutes, and maybe 5 recovering, your circulation will be much better for hours. It is a tiny difference that over months creates a huge difference, and it is what I seem to notice marks the difference in natural people who cant seem to gain muscle despite a good diet. Just better circulation so the nutrients in your blood go where they need to go instead of being pee'd out.
