Published 2024-07-04
Welcome back to another day in the life of a software engineer building a startup in new york city. It's our final week in the city before we move to.....

In this video I'm covering our new short form strategy, startup funding, building microservices with nest.js and growing the startup! Enjoy!

    This has been a really enjoyable series to keep up with and definitely beats the “Day in the life of a software engineer” format. Kudos to you both!
  • @AddisCouture
    Southgate benched Cole Plamer so much, now he became software engineer🤯. Love your contents, keep up the good work.
  • @mariahakinbi
    I'd love to see more about funding, cap table, etc., why SAAS products need funds (besides paying for devs), and how those funds get allocated, etc!

  • @MattBramer
    Jacob, yessir! This is great stuff. Love the impromptu meeting with Maddie. So cool.
  • @marcus0477
    Always enjoyed watching Jacob so much!!
  • Hi Jacob! Been watching since the start of the subbb build - loved watching the progress! As someone with a marketing / business background, i'd love to hear how you are going from a traction / users / 'soft' metrics etc. Things seem to be growing well but would love to know how things are going from a scaling perspective! Also, would love to know more about the startup journey w angels, investors and everything else!
  • @KarimGutermann
    I really enjoy watching your videos. Great Video again!

    Hi Jacob, I read in one of your comments that you’re using Railway, which is just a friendly-to-use wrapper around AWS, really (so is Vercel.) Curious what your Railway bill is looking like these days. Vercel for now is fine for hosting the front-end (just make sure you set those bill limits as you scale) but you can host it on AWS, too, with Nginx. I believe your WhatsApp microservice can be handled using a Lambda function, as well.

    Really cool series. Especially as a newer developer in the industry
  • I also love to see more about funding, etc., why SAAS products need funds (besides paying for devs), and how those funds get allocated, etc!
  • @Omohagbon
    Will you build a mobile app for it? I feel it will be faster to integrate
  • Hey jacob can you give me a suggestion on which programming languages are most in demand in Software Engineering?
  • @zhaohan_dong
    Did a similar WhatsApp integration last year for a volunteer project, but that required retaining the logged in session. Got quite annoyed when WhatsApp required a fresh login every other day.

    Hi, can you please tell me what database you use for your backend?
  • Hello, I use a translator because I am not fluent in English. Sorry if there are mistakes, but your videos are wonderful. They motivated me to do my programming routine. Thank you, and I hope you film other clips. Greetings to you from Algeria.
