Analysis Summary
Ask yourself: “Did I notice what this video wanted from me, and did I decide freely to say yes?”
Performed authenticity
The deliberate construction of "realness" — confessional tone, casual filming, strategic vulnerability — designed to lower your guard. When someone appears unpolished and honest, you evaluate their claims less critically. The spontaneity is rehearsed.
Goffman's dramaturgy (1959); Audrezet et al. (2020) on performed authenticity
Worth Noting
Positive elements
- This video provides a realistic look at the logistical chaos of being a self-employed developer with a young child, including actual technical snippets of AWS and Docker workflows.
Be Aware
Cautionary elements
- The use of 'relatability' and fatherhood as a trust-building mechanism to sell a high-cost career transition program without discussing the significant risks or market difficulty.
Influence Dimensions

[screaming] Okay. [groaning] He's trying to drop. [screaming] >> All right. [cough] >> This is what you have to do >> every morning, dude. >> Tell tell us in the comments if uh this is what you guys got to do >> with your kids. >> He's ready, dude. >> Yeah. He's like, "Damn, this is cool." [laughter] He's like, "I'm feeling myself, you know." >> Yeah. Yeah. [laughter] >> Okay. >> Dude, are you serious? You're decorating. >> No kid is blinged out like that, dude. No kid. >> Okay, I got to put his gloves in his backpack [music] cuz it's getting a little cold. Where his gloves, bro? All right. >> All right. All right. What do you think of that? >> You witnessed it, dude. You know, like how like at a job it's like an 8 hour day. >> Stay on parents like, you know, like until they go to sleep. So, it's like a 15 hour like 14 hour day, you know? >> For sure. cuz every resting moment is like how am I going to make the next task easier >> and that's like I I carry that with like coding and [ __ ] too, you know? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> But like >> Yeah. Like you try to like I don't know like let's say like prepare some food >> like so you prepare some code you know. >> Yeah. Or like like you prepare some code that you can use in many places or you like prepare like some chicken or beef that you can mix with rice or noodles, you know? >> Yeah. >> Getting his clothes ready, you know. Like right now we prepared his clothes. >> Yeah. >> So when he started having a tantrum, we didn't have to do a a task on the fly. >> Yeah. >> Same thing with code. like on in like let's say a React project, right? >> Yeah. >> You know, you like make all your utilities or you use whatever node packages you're going to use on the top you have your imports. So you have all your tools. Okay. Even in code, you know, solve all all these little problems like changing a button color, changing the size of button, changing the border radius, changing the text inside, changing the padding, the margin, the adding the onclick handler, and each one is like a small problem you have, right? And then in the end, you have a full-fledged full-fledged deployable done button or something like that. Let's just say that's an example, you know? >> Yeah. >> Kids raising kids, right? Yeah, that that's like a that's like how you should kind of focus everything on life, you know. >> Mhm. >> Like uh raising a kid, you know. You uh buy the diapers, buy the clothes, but first you have to make the money, you know. You solved the big problem of like or not it's not a problem, but like a task of raising a kid, you know. >> Yeah. >> But it's like it's not just >> it's not just raising a kid. It's like >> Yeah. >> All like little problems that are in there, you know? Mhm. >> I mean, I remember the old daycare center that I went to. >> Yeah. >> That teacher was like super strict, dude. Like she was like, "Oh, you you have to do this, this, and this." You know, >> and like she get angry at us. >> This teacher is like a lot more relaxed. >> Like, if he wants to bring a toy, let him bring a toy, you know? I like this teacher. >> The last one kept on making me feel like I was an inadequate parent, you know? I use like maybe like I reserve like 20% of my brain to like >> like talk >> to someone. >> You know what I mean? >> And like 80% is like home kiss >> here. I'll be right back. All right. >> All right. Chanu. >> All right. That was a war and a half, but [snorts] we are back in business. Let Phil got 40 people in the tech last year. We're going to try to double that and get 80 people into tech this year. Let's go. All right, let's get started. Long day ahead of us, dude. Get on the right side, bro. You're going to die. >> Long day, bro. >> I'll do anything for the big shots, dude. >> Are you? Oh my god, bro. This morning, >> you see what I go through, bro? It's like a >> Yeah, >> it's like an intense two hours, bro. >> Dude, >> every morning, bro. >> So, what do we got on the horizon today, dude? >> We got uh we got hyro. >> Yeah, >> we got to deploy something. >> The WMS front end just to have a working thing. >> Did I already do it? >> Did you? >> I might have a lot yesterday. >> I might have already done it, dude. >> Oh, >> did I already do it? No. Wait, I don't remember. What else do we got? Uh, we got some talking heads. Meet up with uh >> YouTube, >> look at your new house. >> Yeah. >> And then uh we go meet up with Matas. >> Matas, if people don't know, >> he's uh he's one of the he's one of my friends from a long time ago, but he's one of the biggest supporters, you know. >> Yeah. >> Always comment every video. >> They're always there. >> And I think there's like >> there's people that you don't tell that you do a YouTube channel to in your circle. >> Yeah. or like that you don't want knowing. >> Yeah. >> He's one of those people that like are happy for you. You know what I mean? >> Yeah. From the very get. >> Yeah. So, cold one or a hot one? >> Good. Um I You don't do like I don't I feel like you don't do things by temperature cuz you've had a cold one in the colder weather. >> Yeah. You know what I mean? >> I got used to the hot one. It feels good. >> There you are, dude. [laughter] [laughter] [sighs] >> Okay. All right. [laughter] >> Gentle right now, dude. There you go. >> That was like the perfect sound, dude. >> Commercial worthy, bro. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Sponsor us, dude. >> Dude, please. GS25. Come on. >> That'd be an amazing sponsor, dude. >> GS25. I was like watching something this morning >> while I was chilling. And uh there was like this dude he was a computer science student and he wanted code to run in the browser. So he created it and you know he was talking about solving small tasks you know until you solve a big task. Yeah. So like you know like as a programmer you probably solve like hundreds of tasks a day you know >> hundreds and you and you end up you know chipping away at the bigger problem >> right >> you know so just uh keep chipping. >> Mhm. >> Like I always thought of code like if you keep on trying you break through you know. >> Yeah. like like let's say like a brick wall like this, dude. [snorts] You you I mean you keep on uh chipping away with it, you know, uh with the [ __ ] hammer. >> At first, it's not going to do anything, dude. >> By the [ __ ] thousandth strike, you're going to start seeing cracks. You know, >> 2,000 chipping away. 5,000, >> you might have gone through. >> Mhm. >> You know what I mean? >> Why would anyone go through a wall? >> [laughter] >> It's It's a [ __ ] It's a [ __ ] imagery, bro. You break through in the code, bro. You break through in the tech, dude. Come on, bro. It's an analogy. >> Imagery, bro. [ __ ] break through, bro. Break through with the [ __ ] AI, bro. Break through with [ __ ] coding academy. Break through with our mentorship. >> There you go. >> Coding Academy, dude. >> Do what you need to do, bro. >> It's about to pop off in there, dude. We got 60 plus people now in there, >> dude. We got like what do we have like we have like Dude, we're going to we're going to pump it up to 100 hours worth of uh classes combined. >> Y >> in mentorship and coding academy, bro. A week, bro. >> A week. >> 400 hours of lessons. >> Who else is doing that, dude? >> Changing the game, dude. >> Like I I only talked to you, but like the only way you become successful is like pouring back. You know what I mean? >> Yeah, exactly. I feel like, you know, there's like jobs, you know, like a surgeon or programmer, you know, you have like this god complex a little bit, you know. >> Yeah. >> I'd say like a doctor's like saving lives. So the programmer you're like creating every stroke of the keyboard, bro, is is like magic, you know? I I put these like I just press down on these keys and I start creating these things that it just looks like text but if it gets read by the right interpreter or whatever compiler it can [ __ ] create something. >> Come on, dude. Like you like reading books, write a book, you know? [laughter] You like using software, write some software. You know what I mean? >> Can't wait to go back and code a little bit right now, dude. You guys should feel the same way. You know what? [ __ ] what? Pick up the keyboard and start coding. You know, I became a senior developer after the age of 30. You know, like if you have any comment about, you know, how you're going to start today, [ __ ] leave it in the comments. You know, like you're starting on this date and how you're going to start, bro. You might be code academy, might be free code camp, might be us, bro. >> Message me, bro. I'll give you a [ __ ] task. Whatever, dude. >> You know, that's right. >> [ __ ] come Discord. >> You know what? [ __ ] dude. someone like me. If I can do it, dude, you can definitely do it, bro. Just remember, coding saves lives. >> Yo, you finally got uh >> a Windows >> gaming PC, dude. >> Look at that thing right there. Bam. >> The color theme looks good, dude. Goes with your keyboard >> and RGB and DDR5 RAM, dude. >> Yeah. Look at that thing. Boom. Right there, dude. >> Sick, right? >> Yeah, it's sick, dude. Yo, you know what's funny? I'm actually gonna like cuz I'm actually gonna kind of like stop. >> Why? >> Like, so I used to be very intense and serious about it. >> Yeah. I'm talking about like like four or five days a week. >> Yeah. >> But I'm I'm really struggling to find the energy like to like handle everything in my life combined with it. >> So, I'm I'm never going to like stop like working out, but like just like how I used to. Like I like this is not >> I don't know, man. It's getting to a point where it's like kind of like inconveniencing my life to such a point where it's actually causing me like so much stress because my days are usually filled up like I'm either doing like leak code or you know working on this and whatever and um you know other other things as well and um like just trying to you know keep it like cons like keeping consistent more than like four days a week is like just causing me like to [ __ ] stress the hell out. Hey, uh, Hyra, I'm going to ask you to do something. You don't have to if you don't want to. Okay. >> Okay. Why do you have a smile on your face right now? Like this. >> Because I need to know something, dude. I need to hear the Toronto accent from uh from Hyro, bro. [laughter] >> Bro, I don't know. Yo, I I'm telling you right now, like, I'm bad with accents, but it's true. That is the action. Like, that is that is really the accent. >> All right. Ready, dude? Are [clears throat] you ready? Yeah. >> What's up, fam? Isn't that like English? >> Yo, fam. Yo, fam. >> Is that a real thing? >> Yeah. >> Yo, to to my words guy. >> To to my words guy. >> There's no way. >> Up to the up to the fam. All love, brother. [laughter] >> Holy crap. >> That's That's literally the Toronto accent. Yeah. But like it's honestly that's like there's like two ones. There's two Toronto accents and that one the one that's popular is like the worst is the worst version. The other one >> Yeah. Allah means like like right >> um yeah all these >> wahi wahi fam you know we >> this uh wait hold on hold on let me try hold on um >> it'll be like it'll be like >> this mini waistman 67 is uh is uh >> wait this is a real thing they have a Toronto slang >> is is merked fam because that's in the Docker file. So the Docker file is my image and then in that Docker file there's like npm run build, mpm rundev or mpm run start or whatever it is. And then um what we're going to do for the front end uh just one second. Let's just make sure this works. While that's going, let's um let's go to aws.com. I'm just going to put in a light cell for right now just to uh uh have it. Uh I'll give you the I'll create an instance Linux. I'll do a NodeJS instance. So that's the dashboard. There's something called a base base URL here. And that's right now it's the local host uh whatever right API v1. You see that? >> Yeah. >> We need to is there any M file in this code? No. Process.M. That's in the yarn 411. >> All right. We should change that to that. Um, all right. Get status that get commit m uh remove tsc because of errors in build. All right. Get push. All right. That should be done. And then um let's go into this SSH shell. I'll make you an IM user, but I'll give you this key. Uh let's make the documentation real quick. So I'm going to make a folder called AWS in here. >> Mhm. >> And then I'll put the key. I have a key. I have a default light cell key somewhere. Uh cd. SSH. Um CP light sale default key to dot slash uh code what? No code letfill projects WMS WMS dashboard to AWS. I'll copy that into there. CD code lead fill projects WMS WMS dashboard. So now we have now we have this in here. Chmod. We'll do a chmod 400 to the key. Cool. Let's check the permissions. Sounds good. And then I'll just make a little readme in here. vi readme.md connect string uh is going to be ssh minus i key to uh bit nami at then let me get the IP address real quick. Get checkout development. Okay. Good pull. [laughter] I see you covering your eyes, dude. Maybe. But where where did that shell go? Oh my god. What the [ __ ] >> Got to do it again, man. >> Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. I got I got it. I got it. All right. Now, mpm install. MPM run build. Okay, now that's while that's running. Dude, I have no idea why this is [ __ ] I might have to up the instance, but it makes no sense. Refresh. Try to connect through the shell here. Yeah, I got to get back. I got to go though. I'll talk to you very soon. All right, >> take care, Hyro. >> All right. Later. >> Bye, guys. Bye, guys. >> Bye. >> What, bro? This is part of the >> Oh my god, dude. >> What? Bro, >> no. That ain't it, bro. That look ain't it? >> It isn't not it, bro. >> No, you're too old for that look, bro. >> What? Bro, [laughter] dude. >> Hello. >> Hello. How are you? >> Good. >> I'm okay. I'm at home today. Uh, I'll show you what we have so far. Is that okay? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Uh, entire screen share. So, we're going to change this, but this is like the search bar. Hey, Russell. >> Hey. Hey. How's it going? >> Good. Good. So, here. Can you uh explain here? Can you share your screen and show the what you did? >> Absolutely. >> All right. >> Give me a second. >> All right. >> So, I think last time um this wasn't there. So it's just a couple of links that would bring us to anything that um we have in the US. Um we can put tags on on products say like ship from us tag and then everything will appear here. Same with this >> other link right here. Um, and then we also changed some of the colors to um >> the selected colors >> match what you Oh, wait. It's not this one. Where is that? >> So, we added the new uh items as well. Uh, we'll need to figure figure those out. Um, the shop by category. We're we're still doing the color theme. Uh we we're going to test the payment um starting this week and everything. So uh I think it looks nice. Um >> Oh. >> So can you share the category first then we just um list our category? the category. Um, >> oh, >> we're not bringing bring the same categories from Skin Cupid >> because they have too many. >> We'll fix that. Uh, right now I think the categories we have are um Can you do the drop down in the category real quick? >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah, category. So, wait. When this was added, uh, wait, wait. Uh, sorry, sorry, sorry. If you look back uh click back real quick, Russell [snorts] >> because yeah >> in the CSV it's like health and beauty cosmetics right >> so when we imported it um [snorts] >> okay >> I mean in in Kore time >> Wednesday oh next next week Thursday for me okay >> okay awesome and uh happy new year happy day. [laughter] >> Yes. >> Bye. >> Bye. >> Oh, yeah. >> Bye. >> Bye. >> Bye. >> See you guys. >> Bye. >> So, how summarize the day? >> Oh, uh just um working on some AWS stuff. Um running out of memory and stuff, but we'll get it done. Just don't want to pay money, you know. >> Yeah. >> So, what what is WMS anyways? It's the warehouse management project that um we got a Finnegan as a CEO and we got a developers on it >> and um you know it's part of the Lefill incubator. >> So uh we're going to uh you know incubate a lot more startups >> from these uh ideas that from the mentees that have it you know. >> Yeah. >> We got like a Leville Master in the incubator. >> We got um >> Shay's game thing. >> Shame Shay's game thing, you know. Uh we got a couple things going on. >> Trish stuff. Yeah, we got get in social networking, whatever we need to do. But, you know, if there's any ideas that you have, you know. >> Mhm. >> Maybe we can throw in the Leville incubator. >> That's right. >> Yeah. >> All right. >> Bring it to us. >> Let's go. >> Let's go. >> All right. This is Mataz right here. >> This is Mataz's first time eating, bro. >> Yeah. >> Our our our best supporter of YouTube channel. >> It's already like broken. So, you just like grab one and then >> like this. >> Obviously. Cheers, boys. >> Cheers, guys. >> Yep. >> I don't think you're supposed to eat this soup yet, but I need some soup when I drink sodium, bro. >> Oh, really? Okay, >> dude. This looks [ __ ] amazing, dude. The soup. >> You want to You want me for you here? >> Yeah, a little bit. A little bit. Just a tiny little bit. Thank you. Thank you, bro. >> All right, guys. We're going to eat now. Uh, thank you. Cody saves lives, right? >> Cody saves lives. Yeah.
