You forgot the 1 hour meditation, the audio book, the cold plunge, the sauna, the 1 hour gym session, 2 hours of answering emails.

This was the best "A Day in the life" video so far, very authentic and felt like being part of the team 😂

[anderson]

i love how authentic this video was, none of that drama shit

[FUBAU]

One of the best “A day in the life” videos I've seen and actually provides insight into the work!
Not like many others, just vlogging their day and joining meetings without sound all the time. Love it!

[robertrockson]

No day in a life video matches this on. Dude actually shows his code as if he is doing a tutorial. This is just wonderful man, God bless your hustle🙏

[pablocs]

Great video! As a Data Scientist working remotely for a gaming company, I felt nostalgic for the days when I used to gather with my colleagues in a small room to work together like you guys!

Keep going!

[strickvl]

Love love love this video. Thank you for uploading. Esp love that you're training your models locally and also the data-first approach. Keep up the good work!

[davidyoo]

This is a true day in the life blog!
thanks for sharing and mentioning the technical details and roadblocks in the video.
super impressed with the progress of the app and will be following along with the journey

[spookimiiki]

This was actually a genuinely good video, which I'm delighted to have watched. Please, do keep on making these.

Now THIS is what you call doing what you love. It felt very real and authentic. Nothing was forced yet it was pretty organized. I actually had no idea what went through Machine Learning and it turns out it is A LOT but you make it look easy lol. Subbed.

[rocktcatU]

Thanks again for creating that massive PyTorch course. That was a great help in my journey into ML.

[pseabrook]

God damn it! Take a sub! This is the best day in the life of video with actual substance and not just fluffing about. Well done. Great to see another Aussie startup!!

[pnwrunning]

Happiest sounding startup team ever. This video is likely going to help you recruit so many new team members. Just brilliant.

[cken]

Informational, wholesome and genuine record of your day. I enjoy the video a lot.

[anthonysheldonx]

Love the video, proper insight into what your doing unlike the typical tech day in the life vids. Fills me with inspiration to emulate what you guys are doing in the future.

Just starting my journey into IT at 24. Currently working through Datacamp. Been struggling to get an idea of what these types of jobs are like but man you paint a pretty picture! Super cool app, good to see a realistic and well explained day in the life vid. Good work mate 👍

[IamUmairJaffer]

I'm big fan of you, I've learned PyTorch and TensorFlow from your channel and I owe my ML journey to your clear and engaging tutorials. You're the best, Daniel! ❤❤❤

[francislalhmuakliana]

Wow! That's how ML development is being carried outside of school. Now, i'm hooked!

[JedMonsanto]

This is the most productive Day in the Life video in all aspect by far. Wish of luck to your goal as a startup. All the best

[Harry-ibrf]

Ahhhh love the vibe! Also, finally someone doing ML Engineering version. Keep it up more mate. I'm also an ML Engineer for a while and really love your vlog.
