Definitely in favor of the second angle and you exploring your cinematic side. I can tell it’s something you enjoy exploring whether it’s the practical lighting, color palettes, etc. Thank you for all the effort you put into your work, it doesn’t go unnoticed!!
honestly I love all of the side camera angles, keep em all! don't listen to the whiners! the last two were my favorites though :P ... also: the bloopers are fantastic please keep those!!
Hey Arjan! This is probably a common problem, but I am the only developer in my workplace and I essentially created the position for myself by solving business problems with code that were previously done manually. This has given me experience in a lot of the areas you touched on (cloud infrastructure, designing top to bottom solutions for real world problems, working with stakeholders to design solutions that fit their workflows, implementing automated testing etc), but there are other areas like allocating work for other developers, being involved in the hiring process and monitoring developer team performance where I haven't had any experience at all. If I were to move into a new role I would want to retain the freedom to identify a problem and design a solution to fix it (that's the fun part), so it seems I want a senior developer position, but I'm unsure if the way I've learned to program is wholistic enough to deserve a "senior" title at a company with a development team. Could you touch a little more on how to assess where you belong in this ranking system if you're not already at a company with a development team, and maybe give some advice on identifying the gaps that are most necessary to fill to be considered "senior"?
You don't always need to connect the dots one by one. Feel free to jump ahead - just be aware of the boundaries of your knowledge. Working your way up gradually is very slow and becomes inefficient the higher you get. Just jump up the hierarchy. If you get into a situation where you feel that you're lacking knowledge or experience, you should be experienced enough to figure out how to get that knowledge into your team - doesn't mean that it's necessarily you who must have that knowledge, could be a new hire or a consultant, or someone of your team acquires that skill so the problem can be solved on a technical level. Your task is only to identify that there is a problem in the first place and figure out how to handle it. Preventing such problems beforehand by gradually building experience takes way too much time and is probably impossible because you can never anticipate all problems that will arise in the future. I'd say just take the offer and get into the senior role. You'll never learn it without wearing this boots. The higher you get, the more you have to grow into a role once you have it, not before.
Thank you for putting this together! I have been doing this type of work for almost 10 years now. The soft skills and more senior geared videos have helped me out a lot. They also help me to keep me in check. Thank you and I always look forward to your videos!
This is great advice. Too many people do not "interview" the job and don't hear/know what they are actually getting into. That can be a great recipe for misery.
Ignore the camera angle comments, make your video how you please. It's the content of the video that matters most and a "camera angle" isn't really affecting that. 👍🏽👍🏽
I agree you should use a second camera angle. Your lighting is amazing by the way. I think sometimes the transitions can be a little jarring, whereas other times you do them really well. I think the trick is to not put too many in because otherwise, they become distracting. But your lighting, sound, and overall content are all really good.
As to camera angles. You do you. Good things will happen more often as you learn form the results and feedback. I think you are doing a good job already in the content of your videos, and from responses from you in the past, I think you have a very solid idea of your RUclips video Objectives and how you want to make them more functional so that other coders can use them. You seem to keep each project simple and focused. You keep your explanation clear and simple. You leave out details that do not help with the current lesson. How would camera angles help? Maybe you want a different kind of content to express yourself to be added to your current mix? I can see you doing other kinds of videos in the programming world, and other subject matters that would work quite well. Maybe you need an ArjanBeta channel to try out concept? As another RUclipsr says, Its just a thought. ;)
Hi Arjan! I was wondering - what setup/settings/plugins do you use in VSCode? I'm used to use PyCharm, but I see better type checking and static analysis with your setup, especially with protocols. Would you mind sharing your setup?
great video, I'll be happy for more videos on Senior Interview and reall life examples.. plus more senior/advanced videos. thanks about this amazing channel !
The second angles, zoom in, and sound effect are distracting for me Arjan - your older videos were much cleaner. Anything distracting needs to be left on the cutting room floor when your viewers are trying to concentrate on coding.

LOL! Will do! :)
The bloopers are top Thanks for all the useful advices and information, Arjan!
Having such interview on Monday for a lucrative position... I spent the last 5 years learning everything myself. Thanks for this, much appreciated.
加油！

I like the way the camera zooms in every couple of second for each small topic, it makes the mind think the it's serious topic to listen and watch.

Those bloopers deserve their own channel.
Hi Arjan,
Thanks for this great video!
May I ask you to make video where you describe: 'How do you stay up to date with technologies?'
Thanks for the suggestions, Cristea, I've put it on the list.
Great video, just what I need to prepare for the next job. Keep the good content coming

I learned a lot from this video; especially from the bloopers section. 😀
Glad you enjoyed it!
I NEED MORE ANGLES!
It is a really complete guide. Thank you!!!
please don't add the bloopers, I think you are perfect, don't ruin it.
You're so funny Arjan 😂😂😂😂😂 I want more outtakes
Network Chuck does 2 cameras well its kinda hard imo to get right.
Was the length of 13:37 intentional? ;)
always intentional
Even it if wasn’t I would still say yes 😊
It's 13:38 on mobile :D
I just wanted to mention, that your video has a duration of 13:37 and I think that is beautiful.
Hi Arjan! I was wondering - what setup/settings/plugins do you use in VSCode? I'm used to use PyCharm, but I see better type checking and static analysis with your setup, especially with protocols. Would you mind sharing your setup?
Great content! What about series related to graph databases like Neo4J? It could be greatly welcomed! 🎉
Nice explanation, thank you. Maybe you record some video about DDD in Python?
All camera angels are great.
Dude, the length of this video is 13:37, elite.
great video, I'll be happy for more videos on Senior Interview and reall life examples..
plus
more senior/advanced videos.
thanks about this amazing channel !
Thanks for the suggestions, I've put it on the list.
Could you make a video about a junior position?
Thanks for the suggestions, I've put it on the list.
Can you please explain how you think your channel name?? Whats it means? Your name arjan?
Yes - Arjan is my first name and the second part you can probably guess :).
You used different camera angles in previous videos?
I want 8 camera angles please
AWESOME VIDEO!!!
Thanks so much, glad you liked it!
In elk geval heb je je Nederlanderschap weer onomstotelijk bewezen :>

Keep the bloopers coming 💀
Will do, I always have a ton of them, haha.
this is very vague and filled with ads
Medior
i like the camera angle at 0:49. You look like you're hiding from Elon Musk! Jaja!
