life of an NYC software engineer coding a startup (payments edition)

🧠 Learn to code: scrimba.com/allcourses?aff=jacob
Welcome back to another day in the life of a software engineer in New York City! Today we're building a payments system to handle incoming + outgoing payments for one of my recent full stack applications. I'm also kicking off a new build for an upcoming project that sits alongside my soon-to-be-released Discord server ❤️

    Jacob.... I've been hooked on your videos since I've found you on KZread. I've always been interested in web/software development but burnt myself out pretty bad and haven't touched it in 3 going on 4 years. I love that you mentioned no-code. I honestly think it is going to be the way for most people in the future with companies like Webflow, bubble, Flutterflow, etc. As long as you understand business logic the options are endless. Keep the videos coming!

    Hey, curious what are you using for User Authentication? Firebase auth or any other third parties? Following along your video, you mentioned that you are using NestJs for backend. I checked its official documentation and has its own auth module, but, do you think that just relying on JWT is secure enough for production?

    Hi Jacob, I'm a second-year computer science and engineering student. I love web development. As I was born in a very remote village i had very less access to computers and the Internet. I started coding in 2021, and I have learned many things since I started and constantly studying new things. I want to work as a full-stack developer in New York. I don't really have much idea on how to land a job as a full-stack developer in NY. Can you 🙏please make a video about the process required and guide me through it. It will be very helpful for me, and people like me. Really like your videos it's very knowledgeable. Thank you, brother.
