The Reality Of Being A Software Engineer

Being a software engineer can be a great career but there are some things everyone should be aware of that aren't so great. In this video I talk about the main things that will experience in the field which will help you decide if it's for you or not.

As a dev/ engineer, this guy's spot on. Too things I love is the never ending learning & how it's not easy, naturally that's a source of pride. You also have to be humble af & ask questions (that might make u 'look dumb')

I've seen a million "The Reality Of Being A Software Engineer" videos, but this is the one I best connected with. Thanks!

Man this is SO true! About 15 mins before daily standups I'm trying to figure out how to frame why I'm still working on the same thing from Monday in as positive of light as possible on Thursday 🤣😅

[firstdbzmaker]

Being a devloper for one year now, this is spot on!

[arielguzman]

I agree with all this. Just one note. Often times the pressure can come from other people and factors and not technical problems themselves. This can be very demanding

Hey Brian, I love your videos, man. You're very chill explaining every topic, never change that. Congrats!

[Nez]

Im learning right now, and watching these videos helps keeping me motivated.

[asmirasmir]

Great video Brian, I’ve been an Engineer for almost 12yrs. What got me into this field was a childhood dream and enthusiasm to create.

Stand up calls / meetings are a waste of time if you ask me.

Loved the vid.
You made very solid points

I did java coding for a year with one of fortune 500 companies. What you said was really right. The pressure is too high.

I tried making a day in the life video once, it started at 4:45 AM at my Keurig and ended at midnight. That was a solid one year of hell, that project.

[yogibangalore]

Yes when work becomes passion, money follows..double bonus..great point

[kaas]

So true, all those "day in the of" videos are not accurate. Not every Dev job is FAANG job and has enormous campuses. I tolerate the stress because I love problem solving and creating new stuff.

Your videos are really helping so huge thanks! 🙏 Im 47 and leaving my well established teaching career (accounting) to move into tech & I dont want to watch a video about what to wear to the office or what a software engineer eats for lunch 🤦‍♀️😂 I want real life with stressful careers, bills to pay, families to care for etc so I'm finding your content much more relevant for my life so thank you & I'm still interested!

[aaaaaaaaaaaa]

you have inspired me to love programming even more than i do and im still just a beginner. thanks man

[alphaethiopianeducation]

Great content #Brian as usual and please update us with such issues ChatGPT, OpenAI, Lensa AI . . . . are these things could take the job of software engineers and coders ? I am beginner in this road and your videos are way enjoyable and inspiring, so helpful .

This is the realest explanation of software engineering I have seen so far. 👍
