Glad you're taking advantage of that WFH work-style. I honestly can't wait to get into the software development field AND go fully remote. To be able to live well and work from home is a dream come true

[imbolts]

I finished my first year of Computer Science! Looking forward to progressing within the major. You're a big inspiration to me as a young black student in college.

I was able to take a 2 1/2 month break in between transitioning from my old job into my first job in tech. I loved every minute of it. I was able to clear my mind and regroup. Awesome video as always!

[ginabriggs]

Congratulations!!! I'm about to start my first year of Computer Science in October. I found your channel while looking for "A day in the life of a software engineer" video and seeing how far you have come and the progress you have made since that video is truly inspirational to me as an aspiring African woman in tech. Keep up the good work!

I just got laid off from the startup I was working for, I also feel somewhat grateful. My mom just passed and I needed some time. Also I can study and work on some side projects which is always great.

[jeanclaudenduwimana]

Congratulations, I enjoyed watching the shots of your neighborhood and the store.

[helloxonsfan]

Can't wait to see what's in store for u

[chloeshih]

omg gyasi!! i'm so excited for you and your next steps at twilio!! let's welcome to the tech-tech side heh

[tuckertech]

Yeah these Banks and Investment Companies are SUPER resistant to remote and WFH. They really want to return to the old school ways.

Congrats on the new position Gyasi!! I just recently graduated w my CS degree and I’m trying to land my first SWE position. Thank you for all your videos and being a huge inspiration

[geminibutchval]

Congrats on the new job! Fully remote work removes a lot of stress and saves time.

So fun. Going through past vids and like its so good to watch in the morning to get my day started.

Like the parasocial of modernity we want and like such a more spirited way to conglomerate brand algorithm possibly into real legacy entities and the new economy whatever manufacturing is. He's kinda of a big deal.

Bro you Inspirational. I’m a regular guy with no XP and no Knowledge of coding. But I’m starting my course today after years of prepping my mind for just understanding coding. This is the third time I’ve tried to learn and I’m actually getting it now. So I’m ready for the journey. Good to see there’s a black YouTuber out here showing this kind of content. My new fav YouTuber.

[hwynightkid]

come roll through sweden for a change of pace work-wise.. been here a long time now and it's almost too chill

[flowerqueen]

I’m a software developer and I’m fully remote and this is my first job after graduating been here for a year now. I feel so unhappy in my job and I don’t feel connected to people on my team either . It’s hard to make a relationship via online . My relationship with my team members is saying I got this done and assisting if they needed help and leaving the teams call after that. They don’t seem to want to really talk or make any sort of a work connection.

[malcolmrichardson]

You're an inspiration to us all!
I know you 'll do great in you new role! Wishing you the best of luck Gyasi!
Excited for the next video!

[PaolaPerez-gjou]

Man your content it’s awesome and inspiring for someone who is perusing a career in software development love the content ❤️

[elcapitan]

welcome to the club (resigning from a software eng gig without another lined up). it's liberating and kinda scary at the same time.

I hear you with the traveling to the city. It takes me an hour and a half to get to my job in the city from Long Island…
