    Hey Gyasi. Just wanted to drop off a comment and say thank you for being an introduction for me to the field of software engineering. 6 years ago in high school I watched your day in the life of a swe and it completely changed the trajectory of my life seeing a fellow black man working in the industry. Because of you I am a 4th year computer science student blessed with opportunities in the tech space that I likely wouldn't have gathered/been introduced to had I not seen your video. Your lifestyle videos in NYC infused with tech + fashion + traveling are pretty inspiring and something I am actively chasing for myself, and I'm wishing you the best with your transition from the software engineering to the full time creative space. Nothing but love and support from my end :)

    As someone who found your channel as I was starting my SWE career, it’s bittersweet as you were the only black man I saw in the engineering space making content related to being an engineer. Sad to see you go but happy that you’re following your passion. Hopping the next chapter is fulfilling for you🙏🏽

So, if I had the opportunity to change my career path I’ll take it. Like you said, there was a pattern indicating that you wanted to adjust. The job hopping was a giveaway.

Would love to see a behind-the-scenes 'day in the life' that shows the real ups and downs of content creation - from the creative blocks to the editing marathons. Taking the leap from your 9-5 must be both thrilling and terrifying. Hope you'll share some of those raw moments too. Keep crushing it! 🎉
