a day in the life of a startup engineer working from home

this video is sponsored by logitech yeah i understand how you feel but this is what our ceo wants eric wang wants us to focus on implementing blockchain technology on our window blinds look you work at blinder now this is what we do anyway this is getting off topic there's something i want to show you let me share my screen nice background all right first of all i'm your manager second of all shut up it was either this or that all right so don't freak out but we have a new competitor they're called shader and they make window shades see this that's their product okay let's watch their ad real quick power intelligence sophistication [Music] seduction perfection the world's most luxurious window shades powered by blockchain technology the first decentralized window treatment by jacques lacroix okay so who's going to tell eric because i'm not shawty's are you not jonah you're it wait are you serious dude i swear i have my finger on my nose right now well we can't see it so too bad actually why isn't your video on video calls are way better than audio calls how am i supposed to see your facial expressions yeah turn on your camera bro fine happy ew gross why is the quality so doo-doo are you using a built-in camera well yeah i mean it's on my laptop do we not pay you enough get yourself a webcam from logitech seriously it's worth the high quality video oh check mine out c922 pro hd wait is that your webcam then how are you i bought two so i can show it off that's nothing logitech 4k pro webcam very nice joma just go to logitech's website and get a webcam here look you can get any one of these webcams and it'll make your video look so much better come on especially now that you're working from home please for my sake for your team's sake please all right if there's no questions here's 10 minutes back oh and joma don't forget to tell eric about shader good luck drama thanks so every time we meet and we still don't have blockchain technology on blinder i lose a bit of my patience what do you want joma okay well about the blockchain stuff i just don't really see how how do i say this um i don't see how blockchain is relevant to window blinds tokenomics what do you even know what tokenomics is yeah yeah i do do you of course what is it what is it not okay um we have a competitor shader they also make window blinds we can make shades not blinds what we make blinds not them do not put us in the same category i'm sorry but i know shader has been on my radar and that's why we need to raise money fast well that's what our series b will be for right no no that's too slow and with the current valuation i'll either lose control of my company or will only get pennies look i'm not an idiot i know blockchain has nothing to do with window blinds but we need to raise money and an ico will give us that money so we can secure market share against shader do you trust me gentlemen do you trust me yeah yeah i do i do go build me blind your coin i mean i don't know where to start start from the beginning i have faith in you i was gonna wait for the end of the year but i'm offering you a discretionary grant of 10 million shares that's one percent of the company this could be worth 10 million dollars if we become a unicorn i've never made a coin and on a whole new chain that's it's gonna be hard then you better start working what jack lacroix thank you so much for taking this meeting at such a short notice well you are jack lacroix it's lacroix like um the drink right the sparkling water no no the drinks like me not the other way around but i'm not here for a french lesson then what is this you i'm here for you what do you want from me do all americans treat meetings like an interrogation well i'm not a person that likes racing time okay i have responsibilities then why are you so behind in your career if you're so important look you're smart you're resourceful you're curious but you're stunted by your own perception of yourself being the only coding bootcamp student has made you feel small that you are not good enough that you were punching above your weight and that verden has never left you you know that's a lot of assumptions you're making him with all due respect i don't think you know i want you to come work for me and i'm flattered but i'm pretty as a vp happy happy that you offered wait thank thank you um it's generous offer but i all cash one million a year wait why why i just don't why me because you're going to help me destroy blender do your commitment build me what you build for them then you can do whatever you want with the money start your own company i don't care but do something worthwhile with your talent look i've i've committed to blinder okay it's not a perfect company i know that but it gives me opportunities and they recognize me for my work ah recognition maybe it's time to write your own story instead of being a footnote in someone else's biography there are two types of people in this world lions and antelopes the question is which one are you you have until tomorrow to this side goodbye jamal so that's basically it i either build blinder coin or i go against my boss but i i don't even know if i can trust this new guy what do you think i should do so after four years you finally decide to come to me for help huh thank you logitech for sponsoring this video
