A Day In The Life Of A Software Engineer At Microsoft - WFH (sometimes)

A day in the life of a software engineer at Microsoft. Well, at least this is what my day is like sometimes.

I am a Software Engineer at Microsoft with 1 year of experience. The majority of the time I am debugging things and writing code to complete tasks and fixing bugs. This part is actually very boring to film and show to an audience in a video but I tried my best to make it at least look sort of cool. The boring stuff to watch is actually a lot of fun to do if you like software engineering. The team I am on doesn't actually follow agile development so I don't have daily standups like other Software Engineers and I feel like I have a lot of freedom in my day to day life because of this. I also work on a windows computer which seems rarer and rarer these days with everyone and their new shiny MacBooks. I honestly have no strong preference between the two but I do have a MacBook for personal use and a windows desktop for gaming :)

I didn't use StackOverflow in this video which seems to be a meme on every day in the life of a Software Engineer video but in reality. a lot of the stuff I work with is built in-house so normal StackOverflow Questions and Answers don't actually help me that much. Internal documentation and bugging my colleagues is the way to go for most of us working in big tech. Sometimes you just have to dig through many lines of code to figure things out for yourself.

I made a lot of mistakes in this video. I am still new to making content for YoutTube but I hope you enjoy this video and over time HOPEFULLY my content will get better.

Also, sorry if the alarm triggers you at the beginning of the video. It triggers me into fight or flight which is probably the only reason I can even wake up at 9 AM since I am not a morning person :frowning:
