Shark >> Shark. >> What's up, bro? >> Dude, I First thing I read this morning, >> yeah, >> the D2R update. >> Oh my god. >> I can't believe they did it, dude. That's insane to a 20 like 30-year-old 25-year-old gamer or whatever, you know? >> Yeah. What's up with that, >> dude? I don't know. But I guess here's an attack, dude. Maybe millennials have more spending money than uh Gen Z, dude. So, it's like Korean New Year's or whatever. Lunar New Year's next week. You know that, right? >> Right. >> It's insane. I got his uh I got his Korean traditional clothes in the backpack. >> Oh yeah. >> Yeah. The school told me to put him put it on cuz you know like the remote control car that you bought for my kid. >> Yeah. >> And I was like, "Oh, thank you very much." But with that same money, you could have bought a better one, I think. >> Yeah. >> And I was thinking about the thing like buy it nice or buy it twice. >> Yeah. And a lot of programming now is like, you know, like back in the day it was like do it nice or do it twice. >> But when that twice cost is not that much because you have AI, >> it's just like quantity. It's just like do it once then reiterate, do it one more time, >> reiterate, do it one more time. >> You know what I mean? >> Yeah. >> And I think that's what we kind of like saying in the talking heads and stuff >> like just keep on doing it. But uh there's like a balance you have to find I guess. You know >> my kid eats a lot dude. He like he's the biggest. He's like >> he's biggest in the class. >> I don't know. Like probably like No, the actually there's this girl named Chong. She's pretty big. >> Oh, >> dude. They keep kissing, dude. >> Are you serious? >> Yeah, bro.

Bye, Chanu. >> Let's go. >> Let's go. >> All right, let's get started. In the comments, you can write LGS CSL, >> please. >> Let's get started. Coding saves lives, you know. come up with our own acronyms. Where I got coding saves lives from. >> Yeah. >> I don't know if you guys know, but like there's uh there used to be a musician, a singer named Johnny Craig. >> He used to sing for a band, a couple bands like Emarosa or h what's the big band from Sacramento? I forget whatever. Right. >> Yeah. But um there's like a clip of him like in a tour bus and he's like respect music cuz co uh wait respect music cuz music saves lives, >> right? And then I was like you know that that's pretty cool cuz like >> Yeah. >> Passion saves lives, you know? Yeah. >> Whatever you're passionate about and you got to respect everything, dude, cuz it could save lives, bro. >> Could, >> you know? All right, dude. Hot one or cold one? >> Hot. >> Hot. Still. Yeah. >> I got used to the hot like car. >> Yes. >> Do you know how like me and you like we think the followers are going up like very slow? Like >> we don't notice it. But then like you know my friends tune in to this channel too. >> Yeah. >> They're like what the heck? Like last time I started at 70K. >> It's like 125 now. >> Yeah. 126 now, dude. >> Oh wow. >> In like a couple of minutes. >> Hopefully we'll be at 130 soon. Thank you, man. Appreciate it. All right. It's >> like my 65th B. >> It's amazing. >> We got to get one of these machines soon. >> We do. >> All right. I need what I heard the other day. So red people or men or whatever, woman, whatever, have one good year of life and they live in nostalgia for the rest of their life, dude. >> Like you got to think like the football dads or whatever like, "Oh, remember National State?" And they're like still living in that year. One good year. >> I can't live my life like that. You know what I mean? Oh yeah. >> The past. >> I got to make more. You know what I mean? >> Mhm. >> I'm not here to like grab onto the past or whatever, you know? >> Yeah. >> No. Like if you have some kind of like thing you're good at. >> Mhm. >> And you use that time to get something good at something. Like even like having 125,000 subscriber channel, right? I go into a room and I say, you know, like I act nonchalant. I have a YouTube channel and they say like, "Oh, how many subscribers you have?" I don't know, like >> I don't know, like six digits, whatever. You know? >> Yeah. >> You get respect, you know what I mean? >> Yeah. >> Like >> getting good at something gives you a bunch of respect. Getting good at coding, getting good at guitar, getting good at whatever, right? >> Mhm. >> I remember like when I was young, I used to go to a church, right? Or whatever. >> The fact that I knew how to play guitar or whatever, I could be useful to the worship band or something, you know, play drums. And like your big goal in life is to be useful to society. You know what I mean? >> And I think that's the only way you're going to forge forward, you know, >> becoming useful to a company or becoming useful to yourself or becoming useful to your family. And uh the only way to do that is to get good at something you know and getting good at good at coding is something you know I can provide you know I've been through a whole bunch of [ __ ] I've been like this is how I think like we have a mentorship sometimes I'm like super overwhelmed like like checking Discord like I have like a bunch of messages you know what I mean like and then like and then I have to switch my mind back and be like dude I get to do this you know what I mean and I am No, I I don't know. Like, this might sound conceited or something, but I feel like I'm the perfect guy to help people through this journey or something because I've been there, dude. >> Yeah, >> I've been Dude, I've gotten out of jail and I slept on top of a a [ __ ] dryer cuz it was cold. You know what I mean? >> Yeah. >> Who's been there? You know, they let you out of jail at like 3:00 a.m. >> and then um you don't know what to do. [ __ ] like steal like a bag of Tootsie Rolls from like a donation food box or whatever. >> I don't know, man. But um I've been there, you know, and I've completely like uh changed my life. And I wish I could tell that story more about like >> you know, you know, like writing that first variable var hello equals hello world console.log hello, you know, >> like and then seeing that pop up on like the browser, like not even the server, like the shell, but like the browser terminal. It's freaking awesome. And then you create like squares or whatever and then you know and then you start putting it all together and now I feel useful, you know, >> helping other people. Just try to be as useful as possible and I get to be useful, you know what I mean? >> And you know, I'm always going to say this, but you know, my name is Phil. I wrote my first line of code at the age of 30. I went through the journey. I became a senior developer. If you have any story about like where you were or where you are right now and how you want to become useful to society, let me know in the comments and I'll comment back. Yep. >> Like, comment, share. Really helps the algorithm. Subscribe if you haven't already. And just remember, if I can do it, you can definitely do it, too. Coding saves lives >> for sure. >> All right, Russell. Um, >> you want to uh share your screen? Let's just uh get started. >> Yes, sir. >> Hang out. Um, what do how do you start what do you think about uh what do you think about SQLiz? >> It was kind of like superbase honestly. >> Yeah, I mean it's it should all be the same um stuff, right? Like they probably use SQL underneath maybe but um anyways. >> Yeah, I wasn't able to get it up and running though. >> Oh, okay. Let's um let's start this thing. Is that cool? >> Yeah. >> All right. Uh let me share. >> Do you want to work on the front end or the back end or >> um I guess since I started the SQL or the SQL we can >> let's uh do that. >> All right. I let's do this together. Before we start working with the database um >> can we add the uh Postgress to the Docker so uh we can actually um use Okay. Okay. Let's do that first and then uh start hooking everything up. Is that cool? See if we have this command. PG pg_ctl. Okay. I've been using the psql though for for my RDS. That's how I connect to it for my terminal. >> Okay. Ctl help. All right. Let me read read this. Shutdown modes are fast. quit directly. PGC to start and stop or control Postgress server. PGLCTL stop. I'm just going to run this command real quick. No database arage specified. Um, okay. Let me what? Do you know your database name? >> I haven't created one locally. >> Okay. Um then why do you have Postgress on your computer locally? >> I just installed it. >> Okay. >> Um hoping I could do it. >> Okay. Okay. So, uh I'm going to see if it's running actually. LSOF minus I. What is the postgress? 54 5432. >> I see a bunch of PG admin in the PS task manager. >> Okay. Is this going to work? >> That's dead. Okay. Uh, wait. Show all open ports. Now you have Postgress running. Right now I can do psql. Oh, >> no such file or directory. Okay. So, it's I'm going to run docker ps. Oh, it's not running though. Why? >> I see right here though on the desktop. >> Hold on one more time. I'm going docker compose up. I'm just going to run the logs. Postgress. All right. So, it exited. So, what happened? Guess we'll just call it DB. Seems like what everybody's doing. >> Okay. >> And we'll just docker compose up. Oh. Uh. Oh, okay. Minus D. Well, let's see the logs real quick. Postgress. Oh, wait. Docker compose up DB. So, now it's going to pull the Alpine one, which is like a smaller image of it. I'll show you how to see these uh later on. And now it's running, right? Database system is ready to accept connections. You see that? >> Yeah. >> And it's running. All right. So, I'm just going to stop it for now. And then now I'm going to run in detach mode. So, I'm going to run docker ps. Nothing's running but you'll see the image is already installed. So if I run docker images you'll see that the uh postgress alpine is running. So you're running. So now I'm going to do docker compose up minus db and now it's running in the background. Found orphan containers. If you remove rename the service compos file you can remove. Okay so now docker ps. So now it's running in the background. Right now um those are the supported um docker compose files. Right. Like you see 18.1 Alpine 3.22 bookworm, right? Like you see these. >> Yeah. >> So those are the names of the images that um they're just different distros or whatever like different um images like different things that people put together to for the um for that image specifically. >> They all kind of work the same. And if you keep going down, so whenever I meet someone, I'm trying to make a story and just like, hey, like you don't have to say anything. Just like, hey, just got done working with Russell. You know, we uh we structured this project. Um let's uh keep going. All right. You know, like just 30 seconds. All right, I'll just do it real quick. >> Where's my code? >> All right. Uh All right, cool. Um one, two, three. Hey, what's up, guys? I just got done with the meeting with Russell. We structured the project. We're using SQLize and um >> what are we using? What are we using Russell? Postgress and uh >> Postgress >> Express and Node Docker and uh we got a lot of um we got a lot of stuff in. Uh see you guys in the next one later. >> Cool. >> All right. Thank you, Russell. Appreciate that. >> All right. I'll see you uh I'll see you soon. Like maybe on Monday or some Sunday night for you if you have time. I don't know. Whenever you have time, I'm I'm here. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Awesome. I think I see you tomorrow too in this Shopify thing. >> Okay, cool. Cool. See you soon. >> All right. Later. >> Thank you again. >> Later. >> Hey, what's up, Hyro? >> How's it going? >> I'm so sorry, dude. I've been so busy, dude. I'm I'm not trying to neglect you or anything, but um >> it's okay. >> I think I I expected this project to be a lot shorter, but um cuz we're we are spending some stuff on it, but uh like we're uh we're trying. I think I want to lean it down a little bit so you know so we don't have like the whole like uh I want to just do it on our time instead because that's what it feels like it's it is anyways rather than having the whole like project management kind of like full-on thing cuz we don't even have like it's not even like a large team or anything. So I'd like to just do it like recreationally and get it done and uh that would be a lot easier and um for me and um I'll talk to Ilia. I don't know um what's going on. You want to you want to help me out here with this meeting real quick? Mini >> Russell. >> Oh, Russell. Okay. This was supposed to take, you know, a couple months. >> Yeah. >> But it's it's taking longer and every month we're putting more and more and more into it. >> Yeah. >> Let's just say and then >> like what we expected like >> something to be, >> it's become double. >> Mhm. >> So that's just that's >> I was thinking about that too. >> Just where it's at right now. Like that's that's just like to be honest oneonone. I know. Like, >> but if you guys are like, you know, all like fired up about it and stuff like that with like uh I I don't mind. You know what I mean? >> But it's just like I don't want to throw resources away. That's it. That's that's all it is. >> What if we um >> can we just stay more in contact with you? >> H >> can we just be more like um like can we just um you know check up on like >> Yeah. >> Like just >> you know I Okay, I'm sorry guys. I'm sorry. Like I I really want to be here. I I love you guys actually. Hiro and Finnegan, I love you guys and I want to like I'm I'm I want to see what's going on and stuff, but I mean like I just think like um like I you know like I'm doing like these other like other stuff sometimes and I really want to um I want to be everywhere at once. You know what I mean? >> But um >> that's fair. >> I need to know um >> I need I need to have more communication as well. So, it would be really nice if like if Minnie and I got updates about what's actually going on. And I know Elia Elia tells us too, >> but uh if you guys like >> okay, >> you know, you guys give us updates and you guys keep that chat room lively. We know that it's worth it, right? Cuz we can start putting other mentees on there too later on, right? >> Cuz a project never ends really, right? But um we get to a point where it's able to be released. >> Mhm. But um like everyone's gaining real world experience here and this is the main goal of it hopefully and a real world experience means commitment and communication and all that kind of stuff. I know I've like I've made mistakes along the way. Mini has made mistakes. We all have. But if we treat it like a real job, it turns into real value. I don't mean I don't mind you guys reaching out and talking to me at all. Like I enjoy you guys personally. So, can you guys just keep Minnie and I updated a little bit more on the project as well? Cuz Elia is working on like other stuff, too. He's working on sales and stuff like that. So, sometimes we have an hourong meeting, but we actually need to have like a 2-hour long meeting to actually talk about everything. >> Yeah. >> So, we um >> like and we're trying to juggle time here. So, as long as everybody's having um >> like you know, it's still moving. >> Yeah. >> It's worth it for us, right? But I just if it if the communication was not there, if it was dead, >> we don't want to just throw [ __ ] away, right? But um and then I was like the way to get it done with just like Hiro and I meeting up periodically and just working on it, >> right? But um yeah, let's Okay, we'll keep it going. Like that's all I needed to know. All right, guys. >> Cool. Later on, guys. Talk to you guys soon. >> Talk to you later. >> All right. Bye. >> Thank you. >> All right. All right. All right. So, I guess it's I guess it's moving, but uh >> you know, we're pouring pouring money into it, you know. >> Yeah. >> We need to uh have some result, you know. >> Mhm. >> And um met up with Russell. I think we can even put him on that project soon. >> Okay. >> And uh yeah, I'm excited. >> Yeah. >> Let's keep on moving. >> All right. Start. >> Let's get some food. >> Let's get some food. Dude, I'm going to make you the best Pokeball you've ever had. All right. >> Excited. Are you? >> Yeah. New menu, dude. Always a amazing lunch every time we do work. >> And mommy, dude. >> Yeah. >> God damn. Look at that. >> Carrots. Avocado, dude. So good. >> That's how I roll, bro. >> Dude, watching a hook at night is not the play. Hungry, bro. >> I get so hungry, too. >> It looks so good. I'm excited, dude. Tuna now, bro. Okay. Frozen.
