Everything is just so clean and minimalist and chill to watch! This is almost the perfect place for developers' day-in-life vlogs. Absolutely enjoyed every single moment of it. Have a great one, Brian!

Brother, your videos are so high-end and refined, it's insane. You're like the Apple of software engineer videos, if that makes any sense. I get a major positive psychological neurological impact from watching your videos, it's like therapy.

I’m glad YouTube wanted to show me your video! Loved it! Would also love a deep dive into how you use Notion as an Engineer, I’m trying to create my own way of utilising it but I change weekly 😂
