it will be awesome if u make a video of how you setup your mac for coding and editing!

oh and to answer a later question in the video... HECK NO! you are not making the wrong decision. NYC is the best place in the US in my opinion. I miss living there so much that I am planning my move back in the coming year or so! Food, people, nightlife, and opportunities are unmatched!

You ever get scared that AI will completely take over your industry?

I am starting at Amazon June 15th and have a place secured until August 31st and would be interested in discussing ur place… trying to secure places until January when my wife gets there

here for the scooter

Hello! Do you use macbook pro 16 or 14? and which would you recommend for an intern. Thanks!

That huh was personal, Phillip 😂

I feel like I’m behind and like computer science really doesn’t teach me enough to become an swe. I have another year and a half until I graduate and just started the Odin project, so hopefully that helps prepare me. Any tips or motivation would be great. Thanks!

Rebecca is that youuuuu 😂😂😂❤

Aren't those red light masks supposed to be super dangerous for your eyes? They make goggles specifically to block out the light so it doesn't damage your vision. Or am I wrong about this?

you use macbook air or pro

Bro I felt so identified when you mentioned getting distracted when trying to work at home. I do WFH only and the struggle is def real lol.

It’s been a while, and catching up on your content was exactly what I needed, so refreshing! NY sounds cool, and honestly, you have the power to vibe and adjust to any environment you're in. I love that your company offers so much flexibility. If you're 6 months in and decide it’s not for you, you can just pivot to Peru, hang out with the llamas, and hike some insane mountains! As for me, I just started Python. I have zero coding experience and have technically failed the class three times already (so clearly, I'm doing great). 😂 But I know I’ll pass it this time. My instructor is skeptical, but hope and belief in yourself are everything, right? I've got one year left on my B.S. in Network Engineering and Cloud Computing (Azure). Right now, I'm a Solutions Architect with over a decade of IT L3, Management, and Operations experience under my belt. My ultimate dream job, though? To work for Blizzard Entertainment as their pizza chef.
