  5. Sorry to hear bro, got laid off myself too. 10 years at one company. Don’t blame yourself, the leaders are the ones responsible for f*cking about with the finances putting these companies in these precarious situation!!!

  6. Changing career at 29, bagging 6-7 years of experience, life is so random, and unplanned, yet me starting as a Junior .Net developer, you've opened my eyes to be prepared for such situation, subscribed to you channel, stay strong brother.

  8. This kids, is how you succeed. No long preamble, no quick guides on who or what to follow. Just fail, and succeed, and fail, and succeed again. I hope things work out for you and your family and keep on keepin on.

  11. This is very motivating. Without a csdegree I gained and lost my coding job and it was a huge blow to my confidence. I had to learn Angular, MongoDB, Typescript, NodeJS I learned so much! I'm not in development anymore but I really want to try again. I'm glad to see a developer without a cs degree still grinding.

  12. I’m so glad you went over the technologies used for your project in such detail. Luckily enough my bootcamp had a bonus task to dabble with React Redux and now I’m building a chat app with React Native. Great advice Phil!

  13. Finally a day in the life of a dev where there is actual programming, and communication amongst team members about product features. No afternoon mixers, fancy lunches and networking events. Just productivity. Subscribed.

  14. Every junior developer should see this. Success is the product of daily habits

  15. I was working as a nurse for years and I was tired of life. I sat my ass down and learned Java which lead me to learning CRUD apps and I fell in love with code. 3 years later im in my dream role and earning more than I ever have.

  16. Getting a glimpse of your project was awesome. ✨🔥

  17. Be kind to yourself! Lay offs are really rough for anyone... and remember that what happened is not your fault.  Thank you for sharing this.

  18. This is very eye-opening. I am in my first year of college going into computers. and I'm trying to start a project in order to gain experience. Seeing all those files and folders was very overwhelming. It looks so complicated. However this just keeps me motivated to keep learning. Thank you for making this video! 💯

  19. For these type of projects I use Flutter for the mobile app and Node/Express for the backend. For the frontend of the webpart I use Angular with PrimeNG UI library. For the database I use EdgeDB because my applications tend to have more complex data models and EdgeDB makes that as simple as possible.

  20. You are the voice of a lot of us bro. Take care and thank you for sharing your story. Looking forward to hearing more about your journey that so many of us are in as well.

  21. Whatever you said about going back to resources when fell attacked is 100% accurate. In my learning journey this the most eye opening lesson to have. I used this mindset in different problems like in life, coding etc. Your journey is very inspiring as I was having my self-doubt phase and wanted some motivation. Keep it up🙏

  22. I like using Chat GPT to explain code in various ways. Also gotta love those tests. Never had gotten into it, until I started my mentorship with you. Def makes the code bullet proof 🔥
    32
  23. I wish you the best of luck! I'm currently learning to code after deciding that law school wasn't for me, and I just turned 30. Sending you great vibes and energy along the way.
    30
  24. Sending you lots of love my friend. I hope you are able to make it through this tough time.

  25. Phil personally helped me a lot when I was a new junior developer . Anyways, super friendly and knowledgeable guy, a true underdog story. Ask my guy here anything, I am sure he'll answer quick.

  26. This channel is so good. I love the raw day in the life.
    24
  27. Bro you should start a business teaching others how to code . You're leveraging the max out of both your skillsets in teaching and coding.

  28. the coffee and cigarette mornings are therapy

  29. I did the same tech stack for my cap stone project in the fall for my undergrad. It was an ai food recipe tracker and generator to make you meals based on what you had in your pantry React Native Firebase OpenAI API

  30. Coding saves lives, I always enjoy a day in the life of Phil!

  31. I feel a significant difference between when i used to code on my own before llms blew up in HS vs rn in college. Chatgpt helps out a lot when i need to know something or implement it but dont really have extremely clear background knowledge like regex stuff or implementing more complicated architectures in deep learning I think another important thing is to know when to stop, sometimes i find myself diving way too deep into tiny aspects and wasting a lot of time reinventing the wheel, its satisfying but definitely hinders pace

  32. Classic stanleys paradox narration

  33. Opening with the coffee and cig. SUBSCRIBED bro.

  34. Actually Jesus saves lives

  35. Damn, 2025 is gonna be hard to get that job as an entry level dude, but step by step we get there guys
    16
  36. when you say coding saves lives... ive been saying that to myself, holding onto some hope ill be able to land my first job, and then have a paycheck. Ive been unemployed for a long time now, and I have no career opportunities. This is my glimmer of hope to a better life. Some days are very dark and uncertain right now.
    15
  37. you should stop smoking man, just a word of advice. I know it'll help you relieve stress from coding and other stuff but your health will just deteriorate.
    15
  38. I love the baby sound in the back LOL. Coding is the new self improvement
    15
  39. I'm 24 currently stuck in life, no job and no motivations to do anything. But since I found your channel you've been such an inspiration for me. I started coding everyday learning and working toward my goal (Getting a job and become financially independent ) And for the first time I feel I can succeed in it. Thank you so much for your videos, they have a great impact on me.

  40. provide value, Document your work, Solve problem that directs benefit the company.

  41. Dude this is so REALISTIC compared to some developer influencers who only show 80% of the day doing non-coding stuff lol
    14
  42. Stay strong Phillip. I can relate, about the same age as you with a baby daugther. You will find a new job and thrive

  45. "It's a little too complicated for me..." I'm so glad you said that out loud! I have the same feeling everyday
    13
  46. Great Senior. Not complaining about building the next generation and passing off AI as their “junior”. On behalf of the noobs, thank you sir. I appreciate the time you take to build up your - essentially little brothers and sisters. Big ups.

  47. First day in the life of SWE video I’ve seen that the person has kids and doesn’t look like they pay more than 50% of their income on rent for the content 🎉 Love the realness in your content

  50. Nice explaination man. Success for you! I also learned alot on personal projects. I built an entire CRM with a partner, we started selling it as a white label SAAS and ended up being bought by a company. So besides the learning curve, we also made a good amount of cash with it. Keep it going
