But today we're gonna be going over what I carry in my backpack on my day job is a software engineer.

Now, this is gonna be similar to the video I created maybe a couple of years ago where I went over what I carried to my computer.

So as a computer science student, and as you may notice, this is the same exact backpack.

A lot of stuff on the inside is the same.

Exact.

Not a lot has really changed since then, but I figured out given update anyway, probably be getting a new backpack here.

Here shortly maybe.

But one thing that I want to point out is that there are a lot of videos that do something similar to this like they go over there every day bag or what have you and they add in a lot of fluff.

I'm not adding in any fluff.

This is what is actually in my backpack as opposed to some of the trash just put out of it a second ago.

Not add again anything extra, just so you can use my affiliate links to buy those extra things in the description, which I don't even know if there's anything worth linking in the description.

But if there is, I'll take it in the description with some filly links.

I'm here to be really here.

To be honest, I'm not here to blow smoke, so let's go ahead and get started First off the backpack Now I talked about the backpack and a lot of detail, essentially, how I got it for free by going to the surf shop and so on and so forth.

I also got a free town and a free $700 surfboard.

Now, if you want to hear that story, check out the computer science version of this video that I have led a couple years ago.

Backpack.

Not really anything special.

It's just everything that I need.

It's basically two pockets in the front.

You'll see one of the bottom one in the middle and then a big pocket that can fit a 15 inch laptop.

That's all I need for back inside this wonderful backpack.

What you'll find is a 15 inch laptop.

I'm gonna put this off to the side for the time being.

Now this is inside a simple It was on basics case just to serve as a little bit of extra protection, as I don't want anything bad to happen to this laptop.

It is a del inspire on 16 gigabytes of Ram, I think like a terabyte of storage, and I'm not even sure Then tell process.

Now on this, I can really go into a lot of detail what I use this for.

Obviously, I use this for my day job, but I run windows on this computer and on Windows, which I really don't like.

But some clients need us tow, have windows.

It's it's not a fun thing to deal with, but I run a virtual machine, essentially hosts my entire development environment, where I have a boon to on my virtual machine and on that boon to I have everything I need My Eclipse V s code, all everything that I have installed that I can easily access on the command line that's in here within the virtual machine.

Now, item number two is this notebook.

Now, I used to have a notebook that had calendars in and whatnot, and those were actually incredibly helpful at calendars.

And everything was day by day.

However, Molly bought me this.

And this thing is absolutely perfect.

Basically, it is a cool leather book.

Yeah, I guess we'll just call it a book.

And it just has a bunch of lines, so I can just write anything whenever.

One thing I do make sure I do over here is I write down the date in the upper right hand corner because I always want to know what the day is in terms of what I have going on here.

And I write down just basically everything that has to do with work at work.

I normally used the right side page for my work stuff and then my left side page.

If work overflows into that page, fine.

But I will always a list off my personal stuff like my YouTube stuff.

If I come up with an idea or if I have anything that I need to do afterward, I write that down on this side, has a nice little whatever you call this like a tassel, so I could just close it up on this.

Oh, something I didn't mention is that I always keep a nice little pen that serves as a bookmark.

Are really like this pain.

It is a uni ball vision.

Fine pen.

Gonna put that right back in there so I don't lose my spot and forth E big pocket.

That is it.

That is absolutely it.

I have nothing else in the big pocket on a regular basis.

Sometimes I'll throw a camera in there or something.

But I don't like to throw this camera or even a GoPro in there because it was around.

I probably need another backpack for that.

But we're gonna be diving into this zipper right here.

I just have a lot of little random things.

Starting off with writing utensils.

I have a highlighter that I never use.

I have a pencil that I also never use.

Then I have two extra pins that I will sometimes use.

This one was free, and this one is kind of like a This is a micron.

So this is kind of like a drawing pin, if you will, But I have all those in there just in case.

Thing number two.

I don't know how much of this I can show you.

Let's just let's just go with this.

That's me if you can tell.

And it is a pass for me to get into the Norfolk Southern Building, considering they're one of our clients.

So I did used to work at Norfolk Southern as an intern, and now they're one.

My clients.

One of my companies claims that's pretty cool.

I keep sunglasses in here.

Not that I ever wear sunglasses.

I feel like I always forget to wear sunglasses, but let's see this.

This is an anarchy case that serves a sunglass cleaner.

But inside I have some ray bands that I traded my oldest brother, Hunter for, uh, old $100 surfboard.

So $100 surfboard for $150 a pair of sunglasses.

Not a bad dream.

I have a lighter because tools you can always use a lighter.

I always keep a, uh, a pocket knife on my hip, just in case I ever need a pocket knife.

This is one of those you know, one of those car pocket knifes, if you will.

So you have the knife.

It's like 15 $20.1.

Then you have a seat belt cutter case.

You're upside down and you can't take off your seatbelt, then a glass breaker.

That is what this deal is right up here.

I figured since we're gonna be talking about tools like the lighter fuck about that, then I have some hand sanitizer Just because I have a little wall outlet, I keep a iPhone charger in my car.

So if I ever need to bring that in and I don't want to play it into us be, I'll just have this, I guess for anything, really, if I want to get my camera phone a plug in my iPhone for wanna plug in my go pro and then I have two sets of headphones right here.

I have an old raggedy hair of like power beats or whatever they're called power of eats these air old, but they do the job.

This is what I use on my laptop, for the most part because I just like the way these work with Windows and this I always keep hooked up to my phone.

These are the air pods, not the air pots, too.

But the regular airpods I really do like these and all.

Honestly, I wanted to create an app that essentially there was a job broken out for this gave you Mork commands.

Because when it comes to these headphones right here, you're able to do like a double tap a triple tap.

Be able to go up on volume down on volume.

This you could only have Siri, which sure can do a lot of things like turn up to turn down.

I don't want to be in my office and say, Hey, Siri, can you turn down?

And then I just don't like That's not comfortable for me.

I wanted to be able to enable, like, triple tap, quadruple tap, whatever.

Instead, they just have a double time double tap.

That's it.

But I wasn't able to gain root access to the iPhone, which prohibited me from creating that particular application without a job.

Rick, uh, I could go into detail about that future video, but I just know I tried.

Now we're moved on to the very last pocket.

The little bottom pocket that no longer.

I'm not even sure what's in here.

Okay, so we have a lens case.

So if we open this up, this is a lens cleaner.

The camera lens cleaner.

The one that you're looking for right now you can Let's go this way.

You can throw the lens right into this little pocket right here.

And you can serve years this as a lens cleaner itself.

So scrub a dub, dub the front in case you get any fingerprints on it or what have you.

And then I have this thing in here.

As you can see, there's a little beard right there, especially when I grow my beard.

You know, just in case a lot of times when I'm sitting at the office at my desk.

So a lot of times I like fiddle with my beard.

I'll be really unhappy with how it feels or how it looks or something.

Although I'm not really looking at myself like if you have a beard, you know what I mean.

Because like you could feel it, you could just feel like sometimes just not your day having something like this where you can just kind of be working or reading.

You're just able to go through your beard like so just makes a world of difference.

Maybe it's just me, but that's it.

That is exactly what I bring to work on a day to day basis.

What stays in my backpack?

That is my backpack.

Hope you guys enjoyed this video tomorrow.

I think it it'll be tomorrow, if not tomorrow, then the next day.

I want to take you on a little day in the life of our regular day in the life of a software engineer.

I figured that would the appropriate to follow this video so state over that, be sure to subscribe.

So you get notified of hit the bell?

Because I think I've been told a lot of y'all aren't getting my notifications.

My wife isn't even getting notifications for some of the bell stuff.

Plus, she's not seeing me.

And some of the, uh, in this description box, which is weird.

But if you hit the bell, subscribe and just hopefully you'll get notified that my video is out.
