That Factor 75 ad was the sneakiest plug I have ever seen in a youtube video... Well done Sir.

Spoting Titan in the video when Utsav is talking about distractions is so meta

The part about validating your approach rings so true, I just finished my first internship and could have saved a lot of time doing this. Write a design doc, you explaining your approach on a high level, and draw diagrams if necessary. Then show it to someone who has an idea about the system.

Great job! You have a real talent for Engineering. Your achievements will certainly inspire others to become engineers as well.

Maybe working for a huge company like Microsoft you can analyse your area of the project in great detail before writing your first line of code, but with small to medium companies where there may be no senior developers for a huge code base it's easy to fall into the over analysis never getting started pit of despair. One way I counter this is by typing a comment, compile, check in, build, and stopping short of the full release. It can allow you to take ownership mentally of a large code base.

Hey Utsav - long time no see. Once again a nice video. Thumbs up.

[JoseGarcia-vrmx]

Thank you so much!!! I always look forward to your videos

[pablourbanohernandezvizcarra]

Thanks for the video, I need to start to think in Ergonomics the most frequent problem with me is the back pain.

[yuvtajvirsingh]

quick feedback on the videos... if you can.. add some contrast so that the video doesn't seem smokey/raspy if you know what I mean... from a fellow video/photo editor

[techmentormaria]

I always give the advise “know what you don’t need to know”

[ksaweryglab]

Good advice overall but telling people they can go to 80-140 words per minute in a matter of week is just completely unrealistic which just puts other things you mentioned under some question mark.

1st comment dai.
Also an aspiring programmer at the age of 33 being full employee when chat gpt is taking over everything as to say. Lets see how far i can go with it.

[VrashabhSontakke]

Bruh, I can understand you are a developer who only cares about coding and algorithms, Observability doesnot mean logging and monitoring, it is a different thing Operators know about.

[sauravsharma]

everything was wonderful.... except being a Hindu and eating chicken. yes, it's a matter of choice but there should be a red line.
