day in the life of a senior software engineer | releasing our NEW MVP product today

[snorts] What's up, dude? >> What's up, bro? Let's uh let's get out of here. You want some strawberries? Okay. I got a candy in me. Let's go. So blessed to have a beautiful child, dude. >> I'm sure like any one of my kids would be like super cute to me, dude. But he's >> he's cute, bro. >> He's cute, dude. You know what I mean? So lucky. I went to his uh performance yesterday. >> Yeah. >> Oh man, he listens to the teacher. Well, >> that's really good. >> I haven't walked in a while. [laughter] >> Dude, I want I might want to ask to donate my uh lizard to uh the daycare center, dude. I think it'll do well there, you know. What's the weather today? Do you know like the temperature? Not >> good, but it's not that bad, right? >> Yeah, it feels okay. But it I think it's actually cold though. >> Have you seen like the chart of like brain activity of a GPT user and a nonGPT user? >> No. >> Like the GPT user doesn't have like all the brain >> Oh, really? >> Like uh like firing off all the time. Yeah, [snorts] >> cuz they say like when you stop learning >> is when you know everything, you know, >> like that's why kids are so good at learning >> and [snorts] adults they're like, >> you know what I mean? Like >> I think it's an attitude problem. I mean, even like I think our brain chemistry, you and me as a millennial, like having Google >> is way different than before Google. >> What was your first smartphone? >> Blackberry. >> Oh, really? >> Yeah. The one that flips. >> Mine was a I think it was a Motorola Razor, the smartphone one. I think I'll get the iPhone 17 Air when it's a bit cheaper. No, cuz 17's my favorite number, dude. 1738. You know that song, Tua? >> Are you cold, doggy? >> I'll be right back. All right. All right. Bye, Tanu. Hey, we're back, man. We're back, you know. Uh we're back. Our mentorship is going strong, you know, and um we're excited, man. Thank you for tuning in. We are super excited for the future. We got a couple of things in the works. We got the left field mastery. We got the WMS project. And of course, we got the mentorship. It's all doing good. Thanks for tuning in, guys. >> All right. Well, let's get started. Been trying to have a lot of good times recently. Saturday was really fun, huh? >> Saturday was good. >> Scott, Matas, Jackie, >> how did Jackie sell a MacBook without knowing there how much RAM was in it, dude? [laughter] It's insane. That's like the first thing you check on a computer. >> But I think he's uh trying to do reselling. So like buys them from the used marketplace and resells it for more expensive. >> Anyways, we got to think of some kind of SAS to make you and I. >> Yes. >> Maybe you could scan Tongen Market, you know, the used marketplace and you could like you could put a price and you could say like, "Oh, if it goes lower than this price, >> give me a notification in that link." >> Oh, yeah. >> You know what I mean? That would be interesting. >> That would be like a good add-on. >> I need a rapper, dude. Going to the GS, getting my coffee, always asking my friends, hot one or a cold one. Uh, and you know, some work is about to get done. When I drink that caffeine, you know, I stay lean and I be real mean. I'm like a dean at college. Hot one or a cold one? >> Hot one. >> We meet Chanu's new teacher on Friday >> cuz he's going to switch his class. older. >> I'm hoping to keep the same teacher though, dude. [sighs] Back to teachers and speaking uh about patience and [ __ ] I mean, at the mentor service like that we're providing, there's no instant gratification, dude. That's what you know like every single app or every single service out there is selling instant gratification. That's why it's a service, right? Like getting your house cleaned is a service, right? Without the work, you get the instant gratification, right? I took my kid fishing on Sunday and like I was like so into these services. Like I thought like, "Oh, maybe there's going to be a clear tank where I just stick the uh the reel in, you know, and then the trout comes out." It's not how fishing works, dude. Fishing is the act of preparing for patience, dude. And then in the end of the patience, you might get lucky. You might get the gratification, you might not. But learning the gratification of achieving that patience is what you're like going for, right? >> You want to learn coding. All right? Like this might be the first step. And like uh just don't change your mind at the end. You know what I mean? >> Like you you're going to get a skill and uh like whether you want it or not, you're going to have the skill to read code and build things cool like build cool things and um like be able to like see a website and be like, "Oh, like oh that's a div, that's a span. Oh, that's like a event handler. Oh, that's oh that's making a request to the back end." Like you start seeing little little things like before like before I started coding like website looked like newspaper you know what I mean but you know the inner workings of that like system how to get that page to like render on your monitor >> and like see it you know what I mean like sure like on a newspaper it's you can think like it's paper and like there's people behind there thinking about what to write and then the text and then the the printing center and all this kind of stuff. But like the internet is different. It's like there's people with ideas they put down an article and then you take that text and you put it on the internet and then uh you share it to the world you know it's different like you you you start to think like about different things like an algorithm how how does this algorithm work how am I going to solve this you know like I don't know I think there's a beauty in that you know what I mean but you know what I'm proud of myself for learning how to code you know I'm proud of myself for starting this YouTube channel >> I'm proud of myself for a bunch of [ __ ] and if This was just all a service that someone else did the work and [ __ ] gave it to me. Who would I be? >> And that is the main question. Who are you? >> Comment below. >> Don't say your name, right? Because that's just your name. But who are you? You know what I mean? >> I'm Phil. You know what? I became a city developer after writing. [laughter] >> But Phil means something completely my name means something completely different to everybody else. You know what I mean? It's been I've been called it my whole life. So, I've defined that name for myself, >> right? >> And through the struggles I've gone through, through whatever I did, right? Like, like, you know, my mom yelled at me and called me Phil. You know what I mean? My teacher said, "Oh, good job, Phil." All those things are becoming Phil, which is me, you know what I mean? That's who I am. And you know, my name is Phil. Became a student developer after the age of 30 after writing my first line of code after the age of 30. If you have any uh [snorts] comment about who you are, not just your name, but who you are, let me know in the comments. You know, I like to get to know everybody. And uh like, comment, share. It really helps the algorithm. Subscribe even. And just remember, if I can do it, you can do it, too. Coding saves lives. It's a cut, dude. >> So, what are we doing? >> What do you think? My gamer headphones, bro. Call me every night. Um >> Yeah, that's how I roll. All right. Um, we're going to just uh deploy the student dashboard real quick. >> Let's set everything up. So, what's up, Barry's mic on? >> Yes, it is. >> All right, let's get this over with. What's up? >> Oh, damn. Yo, what's up, Calvin? >> Let me just look up some old code real quick. Uh, CD dot uh, project.com vi. Okay. Workflows deploy. All right. Instead of here, we'll just make the workflows. And then we'll make a deploy file. And then uh let me see here. Just copy paste this guy. I never like the a anyways. We go. All right. And then um we got to add these secret access keys into uh whatever, right? >> Uh in file. Yeah. >> Yeah. And then we got to replace this uh S3 bucket name right here to uh I think we could just add the uh I guess we could do this too. Oops. Go here. secrets dot. [snorts] We like to use 22. Let's check this real quick. Oops. Uh so you need the access key ID, this AWS secret access, the distribution ID, and then the bucket name. Uh uh here, let me just write that down real quick. Is this you? >> Okay, >> this is you. All right. So you need to add S3 bucket name. Keep this safe. Okay. This is uh >> Yeah, of course. >> Take these to the castle. I know >> that's the that one. You need to add AWS. I mean, I would do it myself, but I just I trust you. >> Thanks, man. Yeah, >> you're like you're like our developer, dude. So, oh, just two environment variables. >> Yeah. >> All right. >> Cuz all the u all the like data syncing stuff is all running the the back end. >> All right. Cool. like the superb base back end and you don't need to deploy that because it's it's already deployed basically. >> Yeah. >> Uh incomplete students and I'll just kind of go over the dashboard real quick. So active students is like anyone that's active. Um so on w they have like a status of like active uh I think it's like left or like drafted or something else. >> Uh so this is just all your active students. Um, active classes is essentially like if you click on waves, >> um, >> that's like what waves are. So like, you know, Chris has like a wave three level whatever. Joselyn has like a wave eight now. >> Okay. >> Um, >> and then yeah, dashboard or all the students is just basically just all the students with like, you know, different types of levels and stuff. >> Yeah. >> Um, and then if you go back to the dashboard, promotions is just like anyone that like went up a level that month. >> Okay. So, you know, you you promote, you know, I don't know, like Russell from like level two to level three. This will show up for that month. >> Incomplete students is essentially when we when we sync up people from WOB. >> Um, >> looks good, dude. >> Great job. >> Yeah, it's going to help out a lot. >> Thanks. >> We can always use it. All right, students. >> I'm sure you can package H never mind. Um, I'm sure you could package this, right? and then like offer it to other people too if you ever needed to. Yeah. Yeah. Looks nice. >> If you Okay, so if you click on the left the two dot the three dots on the left side. >> Yeah. >> So the the stars like um you want to add like a favorite flag and then the the flag is like the flag notes section. So anytime you like >> any any type of note here will get added to their student kind of profile. >> Gotcha. >> Okay. Oh, that's okay. That's cool. >> Just just this already is gonna >> Yeah. I mean I just I think just uh and then you can remove the flag here. That's cool. >> Y >> All right. Um >> uh cool. >> And then Okay. And the very bottom part is where like so you, Minnie, and like Ilia or you know, whoever the admins [snorts] you want to be. >> Yeah. >> So at the bottom of the sidebar, there's an admin panel. >> Okay. >> Um so this is where we could like sync the data from WAB essentially. So like you know this is where the W API that you gave me a while ago. Uh so you you click on run dry sync. It's working right now. This will just like do a test. It won't actually make any updates or anything but it basically just like runs Oh [ __ ] What happened? >> All right. [sighs] Let's create a bucket. >> Yeah. What what are we going to call this? Um student >> what should we call it? >> Student admin portal. I don't even know. This is the worst part of my job, dude. I don't know names. >> Uh, let me think. Uh, how about just uh portal.fail.com. How about this? >> Yeah. >> Oh, it's >> Cloud4. >> So, it's like a it's uh it's like a load balancer. It's what sits in front of your S3 bucket to uh and then that you can put the SSL certificate on here. >> Oh, okay. And then so you you request from ACM which is the Amazon certificate manager and then you uh and then you uh because you cannot put the ACM the certificate on the bucket itself. >> So you put the cloud front on it and then the cloud front will cache everything and it just sit in front of your uh bucket. So no one has got >> exact uh like access to it or whatever. >> Sir. >> All right. Uh so here set up S3 CloudFront under the origins. Uh wait set up CloudFront for S3. Go to CloudFront console. Under the origin section, select S3 bucket. We're not there yet, but it's [snorts] create distribution. We'll just do the free one for now. Or pay as you go. It's a good one. Next. Distribution name. There we go. >> [sighs] >> All right. Uh, it's a little different than what I remember, right? Setup. Uh, it's always changing. Uh, domain restrict bucket access to CloudFront. Go back to your Esther bucket and open permissions tab. Wait, now I'm a little confused, dude. Hold on. Alternate domain names. [ __ ] something up, dude. Oh, it's still it's still deploying. [snorts] >> Oh, >> yeah. >> Public access permissions you said earlier. Add the cloud always. You would you would expect to just make this like one click, but >> I mean I this would be really nice, but before you'd have to like jump to ACM, then jump back in S3 bucket, but it seems like >> they made it easier. You know what I mean? >> Yeah. >> So, it's still deploying. Well, that would be really easy, right? So, how do I make like how does this continuous development stuff work? >> Oh, we're going to set up the GitHub action. >> Okay. >> Um I'm going to give you the the keys and then um I guess uh I'll give you the file that I have that I that has. So, wait, hold on. Let me just go back to S3 CloudFront V GitHub action. [snorts] And you can just do this one right here. So, this is all good. This is done. We'll uh I'll get you the key. And then you just copy paste this guy. And uh that should run this action, right? And yeah, >> okay, >> I'll send it easy. >> Yeah, I'll send this to you. It's so taking so long. All right, I think I sent I sent you uh the four variables you need to add into the secrets and then uh let me know how you're doing. I'm going to Can I You want me to push this code that I have here? >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. I'm just going to push it straight to main. Is it okay? >> That's fine. Yeah, that's fine. All right. All right, cool, dude. Thank you. Uh, >> man. >> All right, dude. I'll I'll talk to you soon. Okay. >> For sure. >> All right, dude. Thanks for your time. All right. Later. >> Yep. Later. >> All right. Cool. We're done. Let's uh shoot some talking heads. But uh yeah, we got the uh portal.fill.com now. slip >> right here. So, this is all logged in and everything, right? So, it's pretty good. And then uh I asked Calvin to hook up the GitHub action. >> Sounds good. >> And uh we should be done. All right. Cool, dude. >> Awesome. Let's get it done. >> All right. Let's uh get the other stuff done now. >> You got to learn how to jump. >> I know how. Dude, are you kidding, bro? >> I didn't know. You never showed it to me. >> I'll show you right now, dude. >> All right, let's see it. Good. [music] [music] Yo, [music] my name is Let Phil and I can do it real. You know what's [clears throat] up cuz I'm really chill. Yeah, my name is really cool. Yeah, you know, cuz it's not cool to get out of school.
