Hi! Welcome to the channel where I document my journey and my growth and my lifestyle as a software engineer and I try to share what I learn the way I wish it had been presented to me when I was starting out.
Micro Habits That Actually Improved My Life as a Software Engineer
Getting 1% better every day is a lot easier than trying to sort out all of your life at once. In this video, I'll share my most impactful micro habits. Things that only take a couple of minutes per day, at most and have really made a difference in my life and career as a software engineer. Enjoy!

thank you Juan, it's helpful
I’m so lucky I get to share life with you. Thank you for inspiring me and leading by example. Another excellent video 🎉
Thanks for the amazing tips, Juan! Cheers from Brazil, mate!
Worthless piece of shit video
The dogs ears are wicked
Hey man, It's nice to see such day in the lives. Thanks very much for these videos, looking forward for more
What a dream life. A great high paying job from one of the biggest companies in the world, beautiful apartment, beautiful girlfriend, and the ability to self improve and enjoy life outside of work. It’s what most people (including myself) wish for.
かっこいい😎
Hey bro make a video about How can someone get in Faang company as a Cybersecurity engineer or a ML engineer.Love from Bangladesh 🤗
Hey Juan , very good video . I can do better editing in your videos which can help you to get more engagement in your videos . Pls lmk what do you think ?
are you not practising leetcode daily ?
Hey Juan , really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with more Quality Editing in your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail and also help you with the overall youtube strategy and growth ! Pls let me know what do you think ?
Hey man Great Video, can you tell me the font you used for timestamps it looks cool.
does microsoft let its employees use apple products?
Yes! We also develop a lot of apps for iPad, iPhone and Vision Pro, so we need to have a couple of Macs :)
thanks from afghanstan
Having someone to interact with is a healthy way to manage the monotony of software dev. I wfh and a little human, non-corporate interaction is key.
Ms Software engineer working on a Mac.. Blew mi mind! Great video, you've just got a new suscriber
A Microsoft engineer using a MacBook? :)
Yes! I’m an iOS developer at Microsoft so I need a Mac for my day-to-day work
All of these videos are 90% eating and taking breaks and 10% coding 👀
Undoubtedly true, I will say in their defense coding isn’t really one of those hacker-esque montages. 😂
Yh most of the work is done trying to get in... After that well...
@@riclerico yeah you have to pass through like 5 interviews just to end up doing almost nothing at your job
perfect life for me
can you share about music that you used in your video? It sounds very interesting :P
Bro called my broke and single in many languages.
Oah love all ur videos 😮 they're so professional and motivating😊
Not laid off yet?
Nice cinematic shots!
Does Microsoft support fully remote positions? loved the video btw❤
Thank you!! And they do :) I work with a couple people that are fully remote
Another amazing video, Juan! Thanks a lot for sharing! Cheers from Brazil, mate!
Thanks as always Eduardo! 🙌🏻 cheers
it is that moringa that you drinking in the morning? I also have the MacBook pro with the touch bar and I simple love it. Another great video. Chapeau and keep it up!
Excelent video and such a beautiful home
Just started learning iOS development, can’t wait for WWDC next week! I would love to learn more about semantic kernel
Shots are beautiful! But sound is a bit quiet. Had to ramp up iPad volume almost to the top.
Another great video! 🎉 Had all my favorite things; cinematic shots, awesome editing, real life insight on actual software engineering problems, and dogs. I’d love to see more about this side project you’re building, I’ve always been curious about trying out making UA-cam videos and if it can help me make anywhere near as good as yours I’d love to try it out!
This video really help me to make time for my side project, do not ditch this one and still pushing to complete it using small steps/functionalities
muy interesante PinWii
Excelent video, i learn a lot with your videos
Hola Juan Carlos, quería pedirte un consejo, tengo dos dos de experiencia como desarrollador de software y estoy en mi segunda empresa donde me certifique como aws practitioner, estoy estudiando mi penultimo año de ingeniería de software (conseguí mi primer trabajo una semana antes de entrar a la universidad) y obtuve mi green card este año. Debo pagar mis cosas y quiero saber si es factible buscar trabajo como ingeniero de software en usa o trabajar ya en otra cosa no relacionada, ya que, me generan muchas dudas los youtubers, layoffs y como esta el mercado ahora mismo 😔
Hey que tal pinguinos Aqui PinWii ❤ ( Palabras de un sabio a dia de hoy sigo esperando que regreses a cp ya esta new club penguin :') )
What a nice video! Some nice insights and a very good perpective! Amazing! Keep it going! 🔥
Thanks for sharing, Juan! Amazing as always! Cheers from Brazil!
Like , DAA teachers explaining their algorithm to us 😢
I think you don't need the constant zooms in and out
A nice pleasant way to introduce code refactoring
I used to watch your club penguin videos as a kid and today I find that you continue doing videos in another channel 🥺
Love how practical and actionable advice this is. It’s just not the same as having an intention or ideal of “writing good code”. I tried it today at work and you’re right, it does feel like I was finally striking the balance (I did not even know I was lacking) between progressing fast and contributing to keeping/maintaining our codebase clean. I will be sharing this with my team, hopefully we can adopt it as part of the team culture. I can see how this would benefit us all in the long run. Can’t wait to see more of your new videos!!
This is awesome to read. Thank you for watching and sharing! 🙌🏻
Hello, Juan! How are you? Hope you're doing great! Thanks for sharing another amazing video! Have an amazing weekend ahead! Cheers from Brazil!
Thank you so much for the continued support Eduardo! Hope you're doing well too! 🙌🏻
Small PRs are critical to a healthy team / code review culture. You're dead on about PR titles and descriptions setting context and scope for the reviewer. I like the two commit idea, but I'm curious about a couple of things that are outside of the scope of this video. Is the 2nd commit just an additional step to force yourself to clean up the code, or does it exist as a separate commit that can be removed if the reviewers are resistant to the improvements? Do you apply PR fixes after the improvement commit, or do you rebase and place them before the improvement commit?
That's a really good question. Originally the thought behind the second commit was just that it's a fairly common and atomic "unit of code change" if you will 😄 and can (should?) be small enough to remove the friction of actually doing it. But I agree that there's the added benefit that if there's disagreement with the change or if reviewers think the cleanup would benefit from a separate PR, you can always just revert it. About the second question, I actually hadn't thought about it! I usually default to just addressing feedback on top of everything, but you bring up a good point, for more delicate matters a rebase might be worth it! Thanks for watching, by the way!
Hello sir. Sir I am not good at maths so can I learn and practice dsa and actually become good at it??
Yes! I actually failed a lot of my beginner math courses. Practice will definitely help you. Best of luck!
hey ! i just started computer science and managed to land an internship over at amazon. Do you think I may be cooked? I don't know how much they expected me to know?
I don't know about Amazon specifically, but for intern roles there's generally not a large expectation for you to "know" a lot of stuff. They're evaluating your problem solving skills, how well you can learn and how proactive you are in getting unstuck. I wouldn't worry too much about it if you already made it past interviews. Best of luck in your internship!
Thank you.
top tier content keep up the good work!
Thanks! Coming back to it after a little break!
I’m looking a for a new PC for gaming and GameDev,this video helped me,as I needed some advice in the specs,thanks!
No problem! Glad it was useful and good luck with your PC!
