day in the life of a software engineer | 6+ hours productivity | coding my social networking app ☕️

Phil Choi records a vlog-style day-in-the-life focused on restarting regular coding, mentoring, and progressing a social networking app. He discusses personal life (parenting costs, exercise), learning goals (DevOps / AI-adjacent work), and then joins Jocelyn for a screen-share to review app progress: signup/login pages are done, they plan an onboarding short-survey (gender, birthdate, country, experience/interests), and Phil walks through local dev setup and troubleshooting (yarn, npx pod install, docker, React Native upgrade workflow). He assigns Jocelyn the short-survey UI task and outlines a simple single-screen survey flow and header props. The video was uploaded June 23, 2025.
