Jake, I found your channel in 2015 when I was deciding what to study and learning about what it's like to get a degree in the UK (I'm American). I was greatly inspired by your videos and got my degree in Computer Science in 2018. I have so many fond memories of watching your journey and still watch to this day! We love to see you post. Thanks a ton for everything
I've followed your videos since you got your mac mini years ago which inspired me to get a mac mini. I then watched your Cambridge videos and got inspired to study CS at university where I'm graduating this year and moving to London after. Absolutely crazy how much you have inspired much of my life and we don't even know each other. Cheers Jake.
Hi Jake, random comment: I started watching your videos maybe 7 years ago, about life at Cambridge; at the time I was a wee lad and had no intention of going but now I've rediscovered your videos only a few days after result's day, discovering I'll be starting at St John's College, Cambridge in October! Thanks for the stroll down memory lane, your videos are lovely little time capsule.
I am new here. It's really refreshing to see a real programmer doing real work. Often what is represented is a show off about how much programmers get to socialize, play games, or eat company provided snacks. I am interested in the process revolving around the work. Thank you, this is really good to see!
this has come just in time! I'm in my first software engineering grad job out of uni and it's so interesting and beneficial hearing how it's all done in a different workplace, I've only ever known remote work so even just your routine is great insight :)
Idk why but your videos are so comforting to me and interesting. I literally know nothing about computer science or software engineering but it’s still interesting to see your day to day!
Hi Jake, welcome back! I wanted to ask you about the social aspect of the remote work culture. As a remote software engineer, I find it difficult to feel connected and synced with my team. Not only because we have much fewer stand-ups than most companies, but also because there's no dedicated time for informal conversations or activities. As a result, we don't communicate much, and on most days, there's nothing beyond work-related stuff. When I saw the planned social sessions at Monzo, I was intrigued. Are they as fun and essential as they seem to be? What are you personally getting out of them? I'm also interested in hearing how these meetings came to be: was it you and the team that took the initiative to start organizing it, or is it a company-wide approach? Thanks, and keep up the good work!
I'd be interested in this too... obviously some people don't want to hang around after hours (when socials are often organised for), would be nice if companies offered some dedicated time during the work-day to do something. I expect it's more of a culture/people issue to sort out...
@@jakewrightnet why dont you do more web dev in xx min series, your css was awesome when I watched it when I was starting to learn. Can you do React in xx minutes if you know that? Thanks
Yay! Please do keep us updated with how things go, lovely. I've been finding that working remotely in my new job that I started in November has... not been the most ideal of introductions, and I absolutely hate working from home. I struggle getting those personal/work balances in (been finding myself in the wrong headspace at the wrong time!), so I've elected to go into the office one day a week. Cannot wait to not see these four walls during the day for once...
I discovered your video today and really like the smoothness in your editing and the progression. Obviously, it's one of the logical ways software engineers operate; beyond just the world in the device to the real-life systems. Great one, Jake!
Jake! You're alive! As always, glad to see you appear to be doing well. Your videos are a nice mix of calming, with an occasional sprinkle of valuable insight (like your criteria for what a good job needs - which I found really useful as a way of framing thinking about work). Looking forward to seeing more videos from you.
Look like fun works! My short goal is to Backend Engineer because I love data I'm so happy watching your videos! Inspirable, and it's one of my motivations.
Please post more videos! You look quite happy working from home, glad to see you have a proper chair (Aeron). I have the same chair and would be dead without it.
I love that you upgraded you setup from the last time you showed us. Its much better now with the ergonomic mouse, keyboard and of course the Herman Miller aeron.
Jake, I really love your plainliness like @Anders said to sugar coating. I pray you grow even higher in your position. I just love this video man. Lots of emotions
Glad you’re wanting to make videos again, Jake! Always love watching them no matter the content. Will you do more life/apartment update type stuff too?
Interesting to hear about your development processes and various meetings etc. Looking forward to hearing more on that and integrating those into the team I work with!
Sick video. Would love to see more content on "Life @monzo" and productivity/remote culture. Just realized that you live very close to my place too. Those mid-day river walks are regenerating
HI! I'm a new subscriber to your channel so it's great to see some fresh content. By the way it's amazing to watch your older videos nowadays. Thanks for sharing your storys with us. Greetings from Poland!
Do you have any resentment that you are compelled to socialize with your co-workers at the end of a busy day, instead of being free to do what you want with your time?
Not at all, we only have after work socials once a month, and it's not like I have anything else to do these days since we've been in lockdown for so long.
Nice to see you back! Recently started my software dev job, and similar to you, its standup, meetings, and then some coding time. We also have an all hands and socials so that's fun
Heeyy, Jake !! I really missed you !! Thanks so much for your back in channel ! Please, in the next video share of your best motivation in life ever !?
I work in at a Payroll company in US as a backend developer and deal with productions incidents on general ledger quite frequently. I got alerted suddenly when I heard the words ledger and incident in you video suddenly :)
I'm aware Monzo had to let go of a lot of engineers over the past year. Would be interested to hear about your experience of that and how it impacted your work etc
dude can you upload more tutorials about programming? i agree with someone on the comment section saying u just cant create a channel and upload amazing videos and just vanish away. bruh your tutorials is what we need and they are so f*king spot on! Please heed our request if you have time to spare! Thank You for those amazing tutorials!!
Thank you so much for really talking about what you actually worked on and talked about in meetings. It’s always annoying to watch a day in the life video that’s exclusively shots of sitting at a desk and eating snacks.
consistent uploads pls. only kidding I understand you're busy lad but you're very good at making videos and you could certainly pursue this and expand your channel further if you wanted to. best of luck
I moved to London from Australia in February last year so excited for my software dev role in the big city, only to work from home and never leave Stratford for a year 😂
he's aliveeee!
😂
Really! 😂

Same here KemnpQ
you'll have to sling more runey coin to be able to afford a UK degree kempQ. maybe sell again and run another 'playing runey properly' series?
This has to be one of the more real "a day in the life of a engineer" videos I've seen. No bullshit or sugarcoating stuff. Thank you!
I mean, getting up every 15 mins to stretch? cmoooon
Yeah was thinking the same, great video!
there was a bit of sugarcoating but it’s better than the other videos
This is the man from where I learned HTML. Thank you so much
Same here
I also learned
@arnim I forgot to put "from" 😂😂
He’s back! Missed your vids mate:)
Ive been checking his channel every month to see if i missed anything lol
so boring your videos are !
He is gone again

We waited patiently and were rewarded!!

Almost spit my drink out when I saw this lol
Me too
Same here
@EddieVanTuber cause he had 1 year to upload or sth

You alive mate! Glad to see you back.
Thx for the vid , mainly since it really helps us newly upcoming engineers to know what our future routine would be like
Feels like ages since your last upload. Can't tell you how much they've helped. Massive thanks and great content.
I’m about to finish college and start working in a company like this, so this video gets me very excited, please do more of this!
So happy to see another video, hope you and Claudio are doing OK :)
I agree Claudio should just appear once and say hi . 😉
Love watching these Monzo videos! I’ve actually just been offered a job with them!
Congratulations on the offer. All the best. Hope to join a company of such caliber this year.
TC?
Congratulations 🎉
Please upload frequently i love your videos, you are a great youtuber and you my favourite youtube influencer.
this has come just in time! I'm in my first software engineering grad job out of uni and it's so interesting and beneficial hearing how it's all done in a different workplace, I've only ever known remote work so even just your routine is great insight :)
Hey man i want to know like what work do junior developers do?
This is the first DITL vlog where I get a clear idea of what a day to day would be like. THANK YOU!!
Being in the UK myself, I know how it feels being in these constant lockdowns. Good to see you back Jake!

Basically all aesthetic typical girl youtuber does that. Like mylifeaseva, wengie, etc.
@@ahmettrkck ohhhhh~ you mean youhub?
Jake, remember to sort out home insurance and increase your pension contribution x
Lol I was waiting for someone to say this. Both are done now 😌
@@jakewrightnet is it a reference to something?
@@crunkky8736 its on the whiteboard at 10:30
I want more information about it, please is there a link that you could possibly handle in which there is all the information thanks
@@jakewrightnet why dont you do more web dev in xx min series, your css was awesome when I watched it when I was starting to learn. Can you do React in xx minutes if you know that? Thanks
Glad to see your back on the tube
Swear Jake's upload gets me the most excited on the whole youtube platform.
This is by far the best example of a day in the life of a web developer. Thank You!!
Good to have you back Jake! :)

Hey thanks for the 12 minute HTML tutorial, that helped me out a ton.
You're my inspiration
The Man! The Legend! Jake Wright himself!

Like always it was worth the wait!
Your videos are so good it actually hurts
Please post more videos!
You look quite happy working from home, glad to see you have a proper chair (Aeron). I have the same chair and would be dead without it.
Great to have you back
Glad to see you are well, Jakey! Take care!
I love that you upgraded you setup from the last time you showed us. Its much better now with the ergonomic mouse, keyboard and of course the Herman Miller aeron.
Really appreciate you sharing these Jake. I have followed since you had 10k followers. Love these
Jake, I really love your plainliness like @Anders said to sugar coating. I pray you grow even higher in your position.
I just love this video man. Lots of emotions
His videos make me feel good and productive even though the reality differs
Glad to see a video from you again.
I am very happy with Monzo so thanks to the engineers!
It's been so long, good to see you back and doing well.
Glad you’re wanting to make videos again, Jake! Always love watching them no matter the content. Will you do more life/apartment update type stuff too?

You're back! Missed your videos!
Great to see you back. Hopefully more videos in the pipeline
The legend is back!!!!
and please make a video about you setup i noticed that you have changed some stuff in it.
Do you have any resentment that you are compelled to socialize with your co-workers at the end of a busy day, instead of being free to do what you want with your time?
Not at all, we only have after work socials once a month, and it's not like I have anything else to do these days since we've been in lockdown for so long.
The king of Computer Science is back!
He's back! Glad to see you on RUclips again.
Hello! You're back, this is nice!
I pinged you on LinkedIn literally yesterday asking about a new video - is this some mad coincidence?!! Thanks for the video Jake!
Nice to see you back! Recently started my software dev job, and similar to you, its standup, meetings, and then some coding time. We also have an all hands and socials so that's fun
I love the use of Notion to track your work projects!
You're so inspiring. Please keep posting more videos.
loved every bit of your video!
Yoga is a great way to balance long days at the desk. Awesome video :)
Heeyy, Jake !! I really missed you !! Thanks so much for your back in channel ! Please, in the next video share of your best motivation in life ever !?
It's been a minute, good to see you again!!

Mate! Welcome back!
Jake we missed you and your vlogs. Happy to see you. :)
Ahhhh Jake. Good to see you once again!
Where have you been man. I missed your channel. You remain one of my favourite youtuber
I'm aware Monzo had to let go of a lot of engineers over the past year. Would be interested to hear about your experience of that and how it impacted your work etc
I had commented Jake was lucky to be working, his work at home experience matched well current lockdown situation.
Finally a new video. I missed you.
I love your vids! Thank you for making them!
the realest day in the life video ever
Return of the king
If i'm not wrong, your channel was the first programming channel i found on youtube!
Welcome back, Missed your vids mate:)
Welcome back my friend.

Please heed our request if you have time to spare! Thank You for those amazing tutorials!!
very entertaining Yoga exercises
Jake thank you inspired me a lot
Good to see you taking care of yourself. Would love to hear about your current set-up, in particular the mouse looks very interesting.
Loved this, thanks for sharing.
I see Jake's code has a gRPC implementation. Awesome stuff!
The orange juice slow mo was so satisfying
👁👄👁
he's transitioning to more of a lifestyle vlogger now haha
Welcome back
Thank you so much for really talking about what you actually worked on and talked about in meetings. It’s always annoying to watch a day in the life video that’s exclusively shots of sitting at a desk and eating snacks.
Omagad you're alive we're so glad to see you🥳🥳🥳
Oooo, the bulldog clip on the side of the desk with the charger is a great idea! Might have to steal that one haha
They say Jake still washing his hair till next video
consistent uploads pls. only kidding I understand you're busy lad but you're very good at making videos and you could certainly pursue this and expand your channel further if you wanted to. best of luck
I moved to London from Australia in February last year so excited for my software dev role in the big city, only to work from home and never leave Stratford for a year 😂
I hope we get the next video before 2022 😢
