Barry’s Bootcamp Review

Through work, I got a complimentary class to Barry’s Bootcamp. I haven’t tried it out before, so I was interested in seeing how it was. I assumed that it would be a similar style to solidcore and my coworker mentioned that it was a bunch of running and some weights. Looking online, I saw thatContinue reading “Barry’s Bootcamp Review”

Day in the Life of a Software Engineer Oncall

I’ve seen a bunch of videos about software engineers and a day in their lives. Most of them seem pretty glamorous with their nice offices and desk setups and their fancy perks. I was thinking of filming my own, but then I realized that I don’t want to learn how to edit videos and IContinue reading “Day in the Life of a Software Engineer Oncall”
