i've been hooked on your content lately. as someone with no previous experience trying to break into tech, your videos are oddly therapeutic and inspiring. keep up the videos!
The exercises you're doing really help to counter the bad posture we find ourselves in sitting at a desk all day. I'm still progressing towards a pull up so I'd say you're doing well in getting them in!
I m ur fan as always..a few minutes ago, by RUclips , you went out to Phnom Penh noodle house for lunch .I am so proud that you support our Cambodia food ...how was the taste ? Pls more videos , I can't stand to watch you more ...Calvin. Anyways ..just sat hi and good night from Cambodia...sending love ❤❤❤❤❤
Your videos are inspiring. I love it. In this summer I will do a internship at META, bellevue office. Part of reason I choose Bellevue, WA because I watched your videos. Thank you so much for the amazing content.
I have not taken the chance to properly comment as I usually do. I downloaded the video few days ago, and watched it mid training at my working place. But I was sleepy due to fasting for ramadhan so I cant recall. But one thing is, my guys is serious when it comes to food/drinks/snacks review. He is someone I'd look forward to listen to when it comes to "complaining" hehehe. Great content as always love!
@@calvinxli Wow, thats something. Maybe add another slot in your channel too. You got this. And also, congrats on your recent rating. "Just like last year". Boy be flexin huh? Hehehe
@@calvinxli Awww. I noticed that. I enjoyed it so much. I thought that that is wayyyy too many snacks from a company but yeah i forgot. Meta. Haha. I dont know. I found some styles like, when you travel or when you work, just take more shots when you eat and what you eat. So that when you post day in the life videos, you could make a separate one only for food. Like the one from your trips in Singapore. There should be a special slot, where you do in-depth talk only for lets say, Chicken Rice, or Nasi lemak. Your little Calvinge Eating (calvin + binge eating, but not really, i know, lame). So when you post, there is the day in the life (includes travel), and there is the "food review" slot. Ah who am i to suggest?
Halohalo is best eaten with just a spoon. Remove the lid. And eat what you want. I like to eat a little bit of the ube ice cream first before mixing it with everything.
@@calvinxli If you happen upon a Filipino mart, get the Selecta brand. Ube Royale for the pure ube ice cream. Comes in two other flavors too, Ube Keso and Ube Macapuno 😋
So sad many companies force employees to go hybrid. It means if you don't live in FAANG located area, you don't have a chance to work for them anymore :(
YOOOO shoutout do the ffxiv boxed collection in the background! Are you excited for Dawntrail? Also, on Monday did ya'll have Laos food for lunch? I noticed the papaya salad, looks delicious :3 and can't go wrong with anything ube. Love to see your content!
Also love that ya'll tried out Phnom Penh noodle house. The first time I had it was in Long Beach, CA so I'm glad they're expanding. Glad to see your first halo halo experience, usually I just sip it then after use the spoon. It is messy for sure, and not for the weak(I'm lactose lolol)
Ooo good catches. I've never played FFXIV lol that's actually a meister quality Odin statue. I got it because it looked sick and Odin was one of my favorite summons in FF8. And yes we did have Laos food! It was great 😋
@@calvinxli You have good taste! FF8 is my favorite out of the series besides 9! I think my favorite summon would have to be Ifrit and Eden. 🥰 if you ever play FFXIV, you’ll see eventually they put a lot of FF8 Easter eggs in there I’m glad you got to enjoy delicious Laos food and happy to see that Meta provides a variety of diverse foods.
I used to be at Meta too, left my plate of lunch aside during a meeting and the loads of oil just solidified into grease haha it made me look at the hot food options differently 🥲
this is amazing. i’m doing management information systems, hopefully to land a job in the software field. also your keyboard is so thoccy, i love it. where is your keyboard from?
@@calvinxli I followed the keyboard linked on your website but it doesn't have the exact same keyboard shown in this video anywhere. Did you use custom key caps for this? If so, could you please link them too? Much appreciated.
also , Love your content , its really soothing , less noise and more focused content with the perfect touch of music in the background . #Love_From_India
Great insights on productivity software! Just wanted to share Immersive Translate with you. It’s been essential for my work, translating various content types accurately.
Great vlog broski 😌.. also .. since you work at Meta .. why does meta (Facebook) recommend us to use music to use for Reels .. and moments later gets copyrighted 😑😂
@calvinxli it's mainly all the artists under UMG ☠️ also apprently I'm not following metas policy because of it hence why I got an "x" on that criteria .. when it's literally fb that recommended me to use those songs 🙄.. lol
On the side top row I have: mission control, next desktop, previous desktop On the side bottom row I have: play/pause, next track, previous track The two small buttons in the top left are for volume. It's the most productive layout ever 👨💻
@@calvinxli awesome, thanks. trackpad commands are a great idea. I also had copy / paste, but couldnt find a use for the other buttons so stopped using it. But I will add those
hey!! thanks for sharing your days! Actually, I'd like to know which brand of keyboard you're using (the white/blue one!), I love the haptics/sound!! thank you in advance for your answer^^
@@KacperSmith-ok4nu I had a Zenitsu sticker previously and I didn't have any problems with taking that off (I don't know about other surface materials).
@@calvinxli yeah, I saw the list but thought it supposed to be LoFree. Now I recognized the correct one. Thanks for these videos btw. Keep going mate.
Whatever we are watching is more than good. But lets share how much pressure and deadline you need to meet and how do you manage those including project failure. I'm just curious if it's not too personal.
Fortunately I have yet to fail to deliver on a project. Deadline pressure is real sometimes but it's something that should be minimized. That's something I have to work out with leadership as I adapt to this new team.
Hey Calvin serious question why when fake accounts on Facebook are REPORTED they are never taken down? Just keen to understand why Meta/Facebook never remove scammers off the platform. Can you people remove them at all on your end? Thanks
I don't work in that space so I can only guess and my answer doesn't represent Meta in any way. My guess is that there's probably too much volume compared to the resources dedicated to the problem. My guess is based on Facebook having like 3 billion users.
@@calvinxli no worries at pal, cheers. just so annoying as I'm trying my best to clean up some of these fake accounts and scammers and try and warn people and just so annoying that meta/facebook don't take them down. What a train wreck it has become now as lets be honest facebook is a breeding ground now for these low life scums of the earth nowadays. cheers from Oz!
It's a junghans max bill mega solar. It came with a leather strap. There's a titanium strap version but it has a gray tinted face. So I got the leather one and swapped the strap myself.
What do you think about the video? Let me know in the comments!
And as always, you can find more of me through my website @ www.calvinxli.com/
Love the day in the life videos, they're very chill to watch :) Thanks for the great content!
Young n succesful very inspiring,
Help me please bro ,i dont know where i must go to find my THR (indo muslim)
i've been hooked on your content lately. as someone with no previous experience trying to break into tech, your videos are oddly therapeutic and inspiring. keep up the videos!
I'm so glad you like them. Good luck on your journey!
I'm also a SWE at Meta Seattle, happy to see other metamates here :D
Great one! Cannot wait for the desk/office tour. Keep it up mate ;) and thanks for the fitness routine as well 👍
Another lovely video, Calvin! Thanks for sharing with us!
Cheers from Brazil, mate!
Just found your channel! I live and work close to your office so it’s funny seeing all these places that I walk by every day. Love tea king 😋
Lmao maybe we'll run into each other some day
Happy to see you after a long gap!
I appreciate you for coming back 😊
@@calvinxli I never left, Calvin!
The exercises you're doing really help to counter the bad posture we find ourselves in sitting at a desk all day. I'm still progressing towards a pull up so I'd say you're doing well in getting them in!
Yeah it's super important to strengthen the core and back. Good luck on your pull up progression, I'm sure you'll get there in no time! 💪
Great video, new desk setup is really nice. 👍🏿
Thank you thank you
it is nice to see you again.
Thank you 😁
Great video and editing! Would love an office tour. Also nice to see bits of your workout routine.
Thank you! There's kind of an office tour in EP08 :)
Awesome office!
The music and style more interesting than before, keep going!!
Did Meta approve you for this? I'm genuinely curious as someone who has wanted to film a little but been worried about repercussions.
I didn't seek explicit approval but my manager is aware of it
@@calvinxli just be careful because TechLead lost his job doing Meta RUclips videos.
Yeah there was another RUclipsr who lost his job even though his manager and his colleagues loved his video.
And the youtuber spoke very positively about fb, still got kicked out
😮 would you mind telling me which channel that is?
Great video (as always). Keep it up!
Thank you!
oh that halo halo came out of nowhere! XD
I m ur fan as always..a few minutes ago, by RUclips , you went out to Phnom Penh noodle house for lunch .I am so proud that you support our Cambodia food ...how was the taste ? Pls more videos , I can't stand to watch you more ...Calvin. Anyways ..just sat hi and good night from Cambodia...sending love ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
The food was good. Cambodian restaurants are rare but I'm eyeing another one that recently opened 😋
You've summoned a flock of Pinoys with that halo halo. 😆
😂
I'm trying to make it into the tech industry , your content really helps me keep working hard it's impressive.
You 'bookshelf' with anime/funko figures looks so awesome!
Thank you! It's mostly board games lol
Seattle is really a great tech hub on the western coast!
Love any setup of yours like the whole place is fire as quack.

Do you find the cafe food pretty greasy at the office?
It's usually not but I'm often concerned about the sodium levels 😬

Oof yeah I can picture it in my head already 🫠
Nice video! What is the mouse and keyboard?

The copyright thing shouldn't happen if you're selecting the music on Reels 👀
But I don't work on that stuff 🤷♂️

I don't work in that space so I can only guess and my answer doesn't represent Meta in any way.
My guess is that there's probably too much volume compared to the resources dedicated to the problem. My guess is based on Facebook having like 3 billion users.

What watch is that it looks super clean
It's a junghans max bill mega solar. It came with a leather strap. There's a titanium strap version but it has a gray tinted face. So I got the leather one and swapped the strap myself.
