    10th episode, hitting 10k subs, we've come a long way 😭 Big thanks to all of my subs who've been supporting me so far 🙏
    I'm probably going to take a break from the work vlogs and try some other stuff. Let me know in the comments what you thought of the video and what you're interested in!

    At 3:40 you mentioned taking your roommate to Meta for lunch? What is the policy on bringing visitors into the office? I looked online at I found a bunch of different answers.

    • @calvinxli

      The current policy is up to 20 visitors per year!

    • @calvinxli

      You could try competitive programming. Make sure to have fun and get some exercise you're pretty young. Also I wouldn't learn languages for the sake of learning languages.

    Hey future Food Review host. Happy to see your latest video. Guessed myself that you will have your dinner at Sisi Kay. You mentioned about pad thai or something in your previous video. And Takenaka sets are crazy reasonable.
    And im always about broth. Your noodles and the miso (if im not wrong) mustve been the best.
    And thanks for trying out Malaysia's place. I think the pandan "kueh" ou were trying was, (if its glutinuos rice, the white color one with pandan/green layer), its Seri Muka. If its jelly like, then it could be Tepung Pelita. Not that you need to know that haha. But Malaysia is proud to serve these as our delicacies. The rendang set however, wow, I thought you dont do spicy.
    And love the "approval stamp" at the end there. Cant wait for another one Calvin!

    • @calvinxli

      I like it a lot! It's probably the smoothest feeling keyboard I've typed on yet. I think it's especially good for work because it's much quieter than my other keyboards.

    Hey Calvin!
    This video was another fun one to enjoy, I mostly enjoy when you take us (the viewers) with you to eat since I'm a big foodie myself heh.
    I wanted to ask if meta hires internationally or like from overseas as I'm a frontend engineer and I would love to work at meta someday.
    Also congratulations on 10k subs 🎉

    • @calvinxli
      @calvinxli  9 месяцев назад +1

      I'm sure we do hire internationally but I'm not sure about the state of things right now and the market is always changing. It's probably best to just check the job postings and speak with a recruiter.
      And thank you!

    • @calvinxli
