TechLead you have great life travel and hard work I wait you can find your business project make you fulfill, I am same travel actually I live in Paris, but into other market not profitable like your sadness start internet little. Old and now I search make some thing will give happiness and diferente for world
I’ve worked in the tech field for 12 years now and have done or visited most of the places he has visited for a lot less salary yet I have 2 kids, a house, 4 cameras, still employed and still married. So it depends on how you spend your money on day to day basis.
It depends on what you call 'to live'... If it means spending your time moving around visiting places and going from job to job, then yes, he 'lived' a lot !. Some people spend all their lives in one place and know the world better than a lot of travelers. Anyway, difficult to say what this guy lived but it's funny to watch.
The best part of this is that whenever he was not happy or satisfied he moved on, He didn’t quit anything; he just moved on. That’s something we should all learn to do. I admire that and I think it teaches us how to live a life of satisfaction and not settling for less. He inspires me.
But he somehow gave me an idea that his life was possible thanks to all people in all countries you know, and he was using everyone for his narcissistic goals as he said he was obsessed with youth money bla bla. Pretty much evil guy . Don't judge to harsh it's just my two cents
DrEloks nope, not judging at all, in fact sometimes I wonder if it’s all just an act what he says and does. I mean , look at the amount of followers on RUclips and have you noticed he’s always “ pushing “ something? The guy is a salesman at heart if you really study him. No wonder he keeps saying he’s a millionaire. You think I would go around telling everyone I’m a millionaire? Not unless I was selling something.
@@carlosfernandez7098 Most RUclipsrs with huge subscribers count normally promote something on their page for the sponsors. This is their way of making money. So he is not alone. And I believe most successful people are salesman at heart
You’re such an inspiration. I know it’s hard to have a comment coming out of account that doesn’t sound sarcastic or troll-ish. But I genuinely have massive respect for you because of your drive and your ability to do so well in everything you do and not stay stagnant. I hope to learn from you one day.
People think software engineers don't have a life, this man quite literally lived on the cliffside of the edge and came back with a wife! Truly inspiring!
TechLead is one of the few exceptions. Most software engineers i have met are snotty and have a know it all mentality. They sneer at a question and act like a newbie should already know it even if it is something more advanced. They have barely any social skills and still act all high and mighty like they cured cancer. Like I said there are a few exceptions like our boy techlead here but I have seen to many software engineers like the people I have described
I was lying down, lazy to work and learn.. after seeing this, motivated, I switched off phone and opened laptop. Now watching RUclips on my laptop... 🤦♂️
The majority of his projects has been a success which is fascinating. Then he started a youtube channel and he now has over 200k subscribers... another success. Jeeeesus, save some success for the rest of us

It takes years of learning and practice before you can get enough skill for solo development. Most developers never get there. I know a lot of people (colleagues) with 10+ years of experience in the industry and they aren't there, because they didn't put enough effort. Basically, you have to sacrifice years of personal time to achieve the level of mastery.
Dude he isn't lonely, just independent and free. He still stays in touch with his family back in Japan, co-work with some of the smartest people in the US, and even form a family of his own.
The thing I like about your story is it's all driven by you. It wasn't "I joined a company and learned what they taught me". It's I learned something, joined a company then got bored and decided to learn/accomplish more with what I already knew. I think it's most people's dream to build something that's successful but very few people do it.
I'm in a bootcamp right now and my girlfriend that I've been with for 6 years left me. I love you man. Thank you for all the inspiration. I hope you're doing well. Life is crazy.
My Life as a Software Engineer: Graduate Uni (year 1999). Year 0-3: I work 12 hours per day for 36k Euro (before taxes) for Internet Startups and small Consulting companies, in the evenings and weekends I create websites, none of them go viral, none of them generate income. Year 4-5: I slowly burn out. Year 5-7: I work 6 hours per day in a small Software Company, tech lead but projects are boring and work repetitive. There is no growth. In the evenings and weekends I do freelance software engineering work. I still earn around 36k Euro per year (before taxes). Year 7-10: I still work like a zombie. Next to my work I started to study Somatic Education, an alternative movement method to deal with chronic pain and personal growth. Year 11: I stop being a Software Engineer.
people are hating on him because he’s showing what life is really like. it’s not all sunshine and rainbows where you get a job and keep that job for 20+ years while everything goes amazing. real life involves a lot of searching and uncertainty. thank you for making this video, it was amazing.
This story is pretty amazing - mostly inspirational and a little depressing, especially knowing that I burned much of my 20s and some 30s. But to dissipate the depression some of you are feeling right now. :), try to think about your own passions and ambitions, not that of the Techlead. He has been generally pursuing his passions since he was a kid, and as we've all been told, if you stay committed to your passions, you can become successful, and at the very least, learn a lot of lessons and good life experience during your pursuit which could lead you down a path you never dreamed of. Use the angst you are feeling and keep moving forward. I think the Techlead provides incredibly sound advice/wisdom and good/thorough thought processes for making big (and small) life decisions and navigating those. Take what is useful to you, apply it, keep evaluating the outcomes, and write your OWN story, as the TL has advised. :)
@@jpaulsen10 What a nice thing to say. I am continuing to move past my own mental roadblocks because I believe that the mind is mostly what holds us back - not other people, circumstances, or money, but our own habitual thinking and not knowing our true selves that keep us stuck in "safe mode". We need to break those repetitive cycles and beliefs that are so engrained in us from childhood and that continue to influence our decision making. I think that's part of why I love to travel, because I feel like that curious kid envisioning endless possibilities and letting go of my old self-defeating thoughts. Too bad some of those thoughts creep back in when I return home. :) But gotta keep working to conquer those!
@@runner399 I agree 100%, childhood lessons and upbringing definitely affects one's decision making as an adult, but remember Rome wasn't build in a day. If you feel more comfortable speaking with individuals or small groups, start with those first until you feel comfortable speaking to bigger crowds, but you clearly have a talent for writing, your messages are clear, easy to read and contains proper grammar and spelling (which is very rare in 2020) so that might just be the niche you were looking for :-)

@@marcusaureliusregulus2833 he lives a minimalistic lifestyle. See how buying a camera, a PlayStation is a checkpoint in his life, and only when he actually needs them. He doesn't show off cars and other stuff.
Interesting how some people get depressed after hearing your story and some of us are inspired. As someone majoring in Computer Science, I am deeply inspired by this! I realize there was a lot of work too it wasn’t just all traveling etc of course and that you’re sharing the main events. Makes me want to program my own ideas in my freetime and learn for fun, rather than just for class! :) Thanks for sharing your story.
it's a very rare situation. Most software dev's (you most like included) will spend most of their lives cramped in a cubicle staring into the monitor. Sad truth.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but he became a software engineer at the best time possible. It's not the same in 2023, you won't have that many entrepreneurial opportunities as he had. And at the end of the day he had money because he was an entrepreneur not because he was getting paid a lot by his jobs
I'm studying computer engineering right now but it just goes to show that even when you didn't have a job you were working on your own projects while traveling the world. Eventually even after doing so much, you felt stuck but you had a baby and finally found purpose to your life. It really doesn't matter who you are as long as you strive to keep learning new things. You could have stayed doing the same job every year but you chose to take risks and that led to even better opportunities. Your intellectual property had paved the way for your success.
I played too safe and what did I gain , nothing but misery and sorrow , same 24/7 life with no change I wanna take risks like you did , you inspire me man
Awesome vid! Inspired me to try to be more adventurous. With each job you took or left, you took on risks. But you were able to reach your full potential by doing what you wanted, despite those risks. I need to keep that in mind for decisions in my life. 🙂
There's a little thing each time he did quit a job he always had that convenience of having backup plan which was app making. So if you don't have any backup plan you shouldn't do something as rash as him.
i was fascinated by the name, and then i just thought i would just watch one video, i suddenly found myself watching a lot more, basically because i like the simplicity and factual content you cover
Such a big inspiration! I value your lifelong experiences and your risk taking. My girlfriend is currently 9 months pregnant and I find myself working 6 days a week, 12 hours a day. I keep telling myself that it’ll be worth it for my family. I have been experiencing difficulties maintaining my attitude and stumbled upon your video my friend. I look up to you now. Life is about the journey, it’s the failures and opportunities that make life so beautiful! You have reinstated that within me. Thank you sir 🙏🏼
Dude wtf. This video makes me so confused. You obviously have a lot of highly marketable skills and travel the world like crazy. But you don’t even care much about stability or anything and I can’t tell if you’re insanely rich off a couple viral apps or poor or middle class. That’s insane. I guess now you’ve settled down and I’m happy for you and maybe even jealous at one point of how much you’ve done and how you simply left great jobs when you got bored etc. I guess that comes with your experience and you know it’ll be easy to get another great job when you want. You rejected like the entire premise of the typical good career that involves being stable and getting a great job and working hard at it to move up. And in the end it all works out
> You rejected like the entire premise of the typical good career that involves being stable and getting a great job and working hard at it to move up. And in the end it all works out For good software developers, it's kind of typical. I have quit a job more time that I can count and still can get an offer for an huge amount if I want to. The job market for devs is sick right now.
The world lacks programmers, software engineers, computer scientists. Getting a degree in this field and developing your skills overtime will eventually land you any developer position you want... Sometimes for pretty huge sums of money. As for how he was living all this time, travelling can be really cheap if you rent apartments for very short periods of time. It's far cheaper than staying at a hotel. Remember, travelling, not a vacation.
This vvideo actually taught me to appreciate what I already have at some point. Otherwise you’ll always strive for more and try to fill/escape from the hole with short-term happiness boosters. Rather search for long-term satisfaction.
You have lived such an inspiring life. Travel, Romance, pet, kids, dream jobs, RUclips channel, you had it all. I spent an entire day today watching your videos and enjoyed every bit of it. Felt like I'm talking to you all day. Spent a day of wisdom with you and still on. You speak about life, tech, business, relationships, and what not. You are unique, you are inspiring, you are THE TECHLEAD !! Love from India.
That was amazing! In that 10 years span, you did more than most people could ever hope to do in their whole lifetime. You led a life that most could only dream of. What a successful and beautiful life, in that short 10 years. 👍
Absolutely loved the way he covered the years with absolute clarity and that great style of narration! Could perhaps turn out to be a very successful and popular writer later in life! Wishing him all the very best! Cheers!😀👍
Hahahaha oh shit. Took me a second. Dude didn't need a wife he's too busy buying himself gifts and traveling while working. No wonder things turned out the way they did.
this is so inspiring, my parents always urged me to become a software engineer as they know I have a passion of travel and im good with computers and maths. After watching this video, i think im gonna go for it! this is exactly what i want!
What an amazing life of ten years! But most of the time we need huge resource to make a dream coming true. For most people, we just make money to support our life. Sometimes a trip abroad is really hard for one who living under the poverty line.
"Life of a software engineer" "Here's me traveling in my free time and nothing about what I actually do as a software engineer" Cool video regardless I guess
what do you expect a programming tutorial? Pretty sure he said he used PHP, made web apps then games then iOS, and whatever he did at google and facebook who fucking cares
What bumps his life is 24/7 success his biggest struggle was finding wifi. He never had to struggle with a shitty job or not having money, this guy has had the smoothest ride through life you can imagine short of just inheriting a fortune
I love how u live ur life to the fullest. I’m was smiling all throughout the video. I especially love how u rewarded/ gifted urself something meaningful each year and made ur each year special ❤️❤️❤️ Ur an Inspiration 😇

This guy went all around the world quitting jobs. What a job.
This could be me, but i watch youtube all day
Same lol
same not lol :(

It takes years of learning and practice before you can get enough skill for solo development.
Most developers never get there.
I know a lot of people (colleagues) with 10+ years of experience in the industry and they aren't there, because they didn't put enough effort.
Basically, you have to sacrifice years of personal time to achieve the level of mastery.
The only thing I've done in this video is buy a PS4.
Les Chymero lol that’s hilarious. Sadly that’s the extent of my success.
Me too haha
HE HE HE
🤣🤣
Me too
The best loneliness story I've ever seen
thats the key to his success. most men are obsessed with getting laid. this guy was obsessed with money
Dude he isn't lonely, just independent and free. He still stays in touch with his family back in Japan, co-work with some of the smartest people in the US, and even form a family of his own.
@@Andy-bz9cb he seems miserable af
Literally every year he reached someone’s life goals!
What's inspiring is not his success, but the way he used his success to live and engage with the world in a meaningful way.
Sorry what? In a meaningful way? You can say as an exploration or whatever but meaningful... is traveling the world that meaningful really?
@@ZipMapp it's the part of self development so yes it is meaningful just for you but, still it's meaningful
@@alphaenterprise2232 Yes maybe, but when people claim something is "woah meaningful" then it's meant to mean beyond the scope of their own self
The thing I like about your story is it's all driven by you. It wasn't "I joined a company and learned what they taught me". It's I learned something, joined a company then got bored and decided to learn/accomplish more with what I already knew. I think it's most people's dream to build something that's successful but very few people do it.
I'm in a bootcamp right now and my girlfriend that I've been with for 6 years left me. I love you man. Thank you for all the inspiration. I hope you're doing well. Life is crazy.
Better now than later.
how are you doing rn? everything better?
This guy has taught me it's never too late to enjoy your life
He did that all before 30s I don't think that's a lead premise of this video
its crazy how you have barely aged in 10 years
This is nothing. I look even younger than 15 years ago :)
But not after realizing that Sunny aged so aged in just one year
I mean he's in his 30s I presume, so he's not old lol
The tech lead is immortal. I've lived 600 years.
Asian genes
I'm studying computer science and this is simply inspiring...
same here
This makes me sad
Carlo Valenzuela why?
Im also studying but i dont expect a half of that.
Please dont believe that, 80 percent of this not possible.
My Life as a Software Engineer:
Graduate Uni (year 1999).
Year 0-3: I work 12 hours per day for 36k Euro (before taxes) for Internet Startups and small Consulting companies, in the evenings and weekends I create websites, none of them go viral, none of them generate income.
Year 4-5: I slowly burn out.
Year 5-7: I work 6 hours per day in a small Software Company, tech lead but projects are boring and work repetitive. There is no growth. In the evenings and weekends I do freelance software engineering work. I still earn around 36k Euro per year (before taxes).
Year 7-10: I still work like a zombie. Next to my work I started to study Somatic Education, an alternative movement method to deal with chronic pain and personal growth.
Year 11: I stop being a Software Engineer.
Oof
Could you tell us a bit about somatic education? Sounds interesting!
About right
I am sad you gave up, but it's all up to you soo, be happy 🙌🏼
people are hating on him because he’s showing what life is really like. it’s not all sunshine and rainbows where you get a job and keep that job for 20+ years while everything goes amazing. real life involves a lot of searching and uncertainty. thank you for making this video, it was amazing.
Lol
Ahahah. Is that sarcasm?
This story is pretty amazing - mostly inspirational and a little depressing, especially knowing that I burned much of my 20s and some 30s. But to dissipate the depression some of you are feeling right now. :), try to think about your own passions and ambitions, not that of the Techlead. He has been generally pursuing his passions since he was a kid, and as we've all been told, if you stay committed to your passions, you can become successful, and at the very least, learn a lot of lessons and good life experience during your pursuit which could lead you down a path you never dreamed of. Use the angst you are feeling and keep moving forward. I think the Techlead provides incredibly sound advice/wisdom and good/thorough thought processes for making big (and small) life decisions and navigating those. Take what is useful to you, apply it, keep evaluating the outcomes, and write your OWN story, as the TL has advised. :)
Ever thought of becoming a motivational speaker? Very kind words indeed
Omg thank you so much for this. I'm on my way ...
@@jpaulsen10 What a nice thing to say. I am continuing to move past my own mental roadblocks because I believe that the mind is mostly what holds us back - not other people, circumstances, or money, but our own habitual thinking and not knowing our true selves that keep us stuck in "safe mode". We need to break those repetitive cycles and beliefs that are so engrained in us from childhood and that continue to influence our decision making. I think that's part of why I love to travel, because I feel like that curious kid envisioning endless possibilities and letting go of my old self-defeating thoughts. Too bad some of those thoughts creep back in when I return home. :) But gotta keep working to conquer those!
@@glval You are welcome - keep going!!
@@runner399 I agree 100%, childhood lessons and upbringing definitely affects one's decision making as an adult, but remember Rome wasn't build in a day. If you feel more comfortable speaking with individuals or small groups, start with those first until you feel comfortable speaking to bigger crowds, but you clearly have a talent for writing, your messages are clear, easy to read and contains proper grammar and spelling (which is very rare in 2020) so that might just be the niche you were looking for :-)
This is so inspiring. Motivation level...its over 9000!!!!
a Vegeta's fan said above! lol
You’ve done so much on each year, it’s crazy.. You inspire me bro!
This guy has had a beautiful life till now. Hope the same goes for him in the coming years!

Year one of my developer life: still struggling to find a job.
how's it coming along now?
Shutanovac hope it’s okay
So sad!! 😪😕
I used to be like that. But everything is ok now, as it always be
And he got $75k off the a bat
Techlead: Origins
Little did he know......
He buys himself a new camera with his new income?! He had a website generating 2k a day... what are we even taking about
*commodity trades. Dude has gold bars stacked under his house
He is the Techlead, ex Google Techlead, ex Facebook Techlead. Did I mention he is Techlead?😂😂
He most likely bullshit on the salaries.
@@marcusaureliusregulus2833 he lives a minimalistic lifestyle. See how buying a camera, a PlayStation is a checkpoint in his life, and only when he actually needs them. He doesn't show off cars and other stuff.
@@barneystinson8862 lol. I'm a fan. U misunderstood
Interesting how some people get depressed after hearing your story and some of us are inspired. As someone majoring in Computer Science, I am deeply inspired by this! I realize there was a lot of work too it wasn’t just all traveling etc of course and that you’re sharing the main events. Makes me want to program my own ideas in my freetime and learn for fun, rather than just for class! :) Thanks for sharing your story.
it's a very rare situation. Most software dev's (you most like included) will spend most of their lives cramped in a cubicle staring into the monitor. Sad truth.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but he became a software engineer at the best time possible. It's not the same in 2023, you won't have that many entrepreneurial opportunities as he had. And at the end of the day he had money because he was an entrepreneur not because he was getting paid a lot by his jobs
This guy shows us how to enjoy your own company.

@@yohannesnurga4887 .Unless it’s chill
Dude you're seriously an awesome role model! You just got me hyped
You had a great journey so far. I'm bookmarking this in my Motivation bookmark folder.
Armaan Sandhu bhai esa chutiyap kaise kr lete ho
I'm studying computer engineering right now but it just goes to show that even when you didn't have a job you were working on your own projects while traveling the world. Eventually even after doing so much, you felt stuck but you had a baby and finally found purpose to your life.
It really doesn't matter who you are as long as you strive to keep learning new things. You could have stayed doing the same job every year but you chose to take risks and that led to even better opportunities. Your intellectual property had paved the way for your success.
His story just prove that people in their 20s
1. Have no value in money.
2. Struggle to find their purpose.
3. Like khaki pants.
Coolest 10 Year Review I ever saw. Supernice! All powered by Programming Superpowers & Intelligence ;)
#2000thComment btw
year 11 i quit from my wife , started to finding new wife
Dude I almost shit my pant lmao...
Lollllll!!!!
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I hope he doesn't see your comment. That is not a good joke :/
YOU GUESSED IT RIGHT . chech his latest video. sad for him
I played too safe and what did I gain , nothing but misery and sorrow , same 24/7 life with no change
I wanna take risks like you did , you inspire me man
Year 11 my wife leaves me and my life is a sham
Love your story man. You are an inspiration to young software engineers like myself.
Awesome vid! Inspired me to try to be more adventurous. With each job you took or left, you took on risks. But you were able to reach your full potential by doing what you wanted, despite those risks. I need to keep that in mind for decisions in my life. 🙂
I love your content. Pet your dog kava for me x
There's a little thing each time he did quit a job he always had that convenience of having backup plan which was app making. So if you don't have any backup plan you shouldn't do something as rash as him.
CLICKBAIT
the video is not 10 years long
i dont know but this comment made me laugh so hard
Hahaha
Are you really that dumb
you cant afford that much internet
ok
Whenever I feel demotivated at work, I watch this and get the lost energy back.
10 years of gains
of course TechBro, he is THE TECHLEAD
everyday before i start my learning C# and SQL , I turn up your video as a way of motivating myself! Thank you :)
@Alán Gámez in pain
@Alán Gámez in hell
i was fascinated by the name, and then i just thought i would just watch one video, i suddenly found myself watching a lot more, basically because i like the simplicity and factual content you cover
Such a big inspiration! I value your lifelong experiences and your risk taking. My girlfriend is currently 9 months pregnant and I find myself working 6 days a week, 12 hours a day. I keep telling myself that it’ll be worth it for my family. I have been experiencing difficulties maintaining my attitude and stumbled upon your video my friend. I look up to you now. Life is about the journey, it’s the failures and opportunities that make life so beautiful! You have reinstated that within me. Thank you sir 🙏🏼
They're going to put you in a dos equis commercial Patrick.
And I don't even drink!
Dude wtf. This video makes me so confused. You obviously have a lot of highly marketable skills and travel the world like crazy. But you don’t even care much about stability or anything and I can’t tell if you’re insanely rich off a couple viral apps or poor or middle class. That’s insane. I guess now you’ve settled down and I’m happy for you and maybe even jealous at one point of how much you’ve done and how you simply left great jobs when you got bored etc. I guess that comes with your experience and you know it’ll be easy to get another great job when you want. You rejected like the entire premise of the typical good career that involves being stable and getting a great job and working hard at it to move up. And in the end it all works out
> You rejected like the entire premise of the typical good career that involves being stable and getting a great job and working hard at it to move up. And in the end it all works out
For good software developers, it's kind of typical. I have quit a job more time that I can count and still can get an offer for an huge amount if I want to. The job market for devs is sick right now.
The world lacks programmers, software engineers, computer scientists. Getting a degree in this field and developing your skills overtime will eventually land you any developer position you want... Sometimes for pretty huge sums of money.
As for how he was living all this time, travelling can be really cheap if you rent apartments for very short periods of time. It's far cheaper than staying at a hotel. Remember, travelling, not a vacation.
@@__janI messed up my life, I really wanted to be a programmer
@@nestorfernandes4331 Never too late.
@@nestorfernandes4331 go learn
10 years of my life: Year 1 - Year 10: "wake up, play video games, sleep".
Haha! Me too
This vvideo actually taught me to appreciate what I already have at some point. Otherwise you’ll always strive for more and try to fill/escape from the hole with short-term happiness boosters. Rather search for long-term satisfaction.
This guy is living proof that all you need is yourself and not anyone else to make yourself happy and successful in life 💪🏼
But he has a wife... and a kid.. and he visited multiple cousins/siblings during his trips... I'm not sure what you're on about.
he would not be completed without his wife
Nice bullshit
You’re forgetting to account for the parents that set him up for success.
You have lived such an inspiring life. Travel, Romance, pet, kids, dream jobs, RUclips channel, you had it all.
I spent an entire day today watching your videos and enjoyed every bit of it. Felt like I'm talking to you all day. Spent a day of wisdom with you and still on. You speak about life, tech, business, relationships, and what not.
You are unique, you are inspiring, you are THE TECHLEAD !! Love from India.
That was amazing! In that 10 years span, you did more than most people could ever hope to do in their whole lifetime. You led a life that most could only dream of. What a successful and beautiful life, in that short 10 years. 👍
Year 11, wife destroys your life.
But Patrick, how much do you bench
a ton of code.
Lmao wittyPatrickReplies
Wow Patrick you really managed to do so much in such a short time. Very humble and inspirational keep up the great work!
This is the most inspirational video I have ever watched.
Absolutely loved the way he covered the years with absolute clarity and that great style of narration! Could perhaps turn out to be a very successful and popular writer later in life! Wishing him all the very best! Cheers!😀👍
I wish my last ten years had just one year like yours. Much love.
Wife: Do you love me?
Him: !yes
Hahahaha oh shit. Took me a second. Dude didn't need a wife he's too busy buying himself gifts and traveling while working. No wonder things turned out the way they did.
this is so inspiring, my parents always urged me to become a software engineer as they know I have a passion of travel and im good with computers and maths. After watching this video, i think im gonna go for it! this is exactly what i want!
How it's going?
How is it going?
What an amazing life of ten years! But most of the time we need huge resource to make a dream coming true.
For most people, we just make money to support our life. Sometimes a trip abroad is really hard for one who
living under the poverty line.
What a great decade for the Tech Lead! He's is an inspiration to many of us
Poor guy watching this after his wife broke up with him :(
So basically build successful digital products so you can obtain passive income and travel the world
AgentCell precisely. What a life!!
Wow what and amazing an inspiring story!
"Life of a software engineer"
"Here's me traveling in my free time and nothing about what I actually do as a software engineer"
Cool video regardless I guess
He spoke about the apps website softwares and startups too?
he didn't say "life of a software engineer" he said 10 years in the life of a software engineer.
10 years in the life of, theres a difference
Well he didn't lie lol this is his life
what do you expect a programming tutorial? Pretty sure he said he used PHP, made web apps then games then iOS, and whatever he did at google and facebook who fucking cares
This was so moving. Goes to show that the bumps that occur in life are only temporary.
What bumps his life is 24/7 success his biggest struggle was finding wifi. He never had to struggle with a shitty job or not having money, this guy has had the smoothest ride through life you can imagine short of just inheriting a fortune
Inspirational. Like how he can just do what he likes
I love how u live ur life to the fullest. I’m was smiling all throughout the video. I especially love how u rewarded/ gifted urself something meaningful each year and made ur each year special ❤️❤️❤️ Ur an Inspiration 😇
inspirational man. I've decided to go into computer science myself. The future is now
