“this isn't a comedy, this is a documentary. That's frighteningly close to a lot of meetings i've been in”
“Not immersive, I can clearly tell these are actors because the project manager listens to him and changes the deadline”
“So this comment is fucking insane and I'm aware of it. But I was bored and I had the time, and for some reason I felt inspired to create something, even if it wasn't productive. For some reason, this is one of my favorite videos on the internet. For one, it's goddamn hilarious. And for another it is absolutely stuffed with detail. I feel the need not just to point as many as I can notice out, but explain how they add to this... rather sad portrait of a person who is an utter blank slate. So here we go. Five seconds in, three things immediately get your attention: 1) Upbeat, exciting music playing 2) The camera work. Seriously, pay attention to the camera work in this. Notice when the camera rushes in and how often a shot focused on action lasts less than two seconds. The quick cuts and the dynamic shots. This builds excitement so well that you forget there is nothing interesting in this person's life, despite all their efforts. 3) A narration from our narrator, the hustler, who is full of a cocksure attitude. So we see that this entire video is how he sees himself. It's pretty clear given the lack of human interaction the hustler has in this video that he's not telling this to anyone, and given the evident constant struggle the hustler has at being productive, he's not recording it to be published or anything of the sort. This narration is just how his internal monologue goes. The excitement is how he wants his life to be. Every day. 6AM His SunlightAlarm™ goes on. For some reason. Doesn't serve much use since he's already up. I'd like to know what alarm actually wakes him up. Maybe he doesn't sleep. More on that later. For now, it's enough to notice that he's up before 6:00 in the morning, fully dressed and active. That's a half hour of set-up time at minimum. Bonus: he calls an exercise bike a treadmill. Fun drinking game: take a shot every time he does an activity and isn't connect to electronics. It's the best kind of drinking game since you'll still be sober by the end of the video. 7AM Shower, Aeropress™, email. This is one of the points where he may have gotten dangerously close to actually doing something of substance. There are no unread messages in his inbox, which means either maybe, just MAYBE he was going to contact someone about something, or more likely, he denied to himself that email was pointless, and told himself he has to read blogs about living his best life. Also journaling about creativity. The journal is one of the most telling aspects of the hustler. For one, he says he's journaling about creativity. But no, he's journaling about his sleep. It's aparently important to him, but note how he's recorded the length of sleep was five goddamn hours. And noted in parentheses that was "good." He then notes how he needs more dreams. The hustler is tragically oblivious (which is a running theme of his personality) to the fact that MORE SLEEP means MORE DREAMS. The hustler wrote "Productive? Could be better" To me, this tells me he is geniunely hoping that productivity is something that happens to him passively. His sleep gave him no epiphanies. The hustler, being productive? Not even in his dreams. There's also the irony that his journaling about creativity contains nothing creative. Logging what happened and wishing it was different, and hoping the next time will be, takes no creativity. But hey, he's bought a Moleskins™, which makes him feel productive. To him, feeling productive is as good as being productive. 8:30, he's out the door. But he needs coffee first. Ground Central brews Stumptown™, and how can he miss that? This is his second cup of coffee in an hour and a half, and he has not eaten anything since whenever it was he woke up. He orders the pour-over, winks at the barista, and came desperately close to actually having a human interaction today. But she didn't notice. What I like about that moment is that it actually did take courage to do that, a bit of self-confidence. He's been rolling on that feeling since he woke up. When she doesn't notice, that's the only point in the entire video when the music stops dead. Even his self-imposed blinders can't keep that bit of rejection out. And this connects to the hustler's constant, CONSTANT desire to be interesting, to DO something. Will he manage it? Metro. He shaves three minutes off an hour and a half commute, and I have absolutely no doubt this is the most badass he feels through the entire day. Bonus: He checks his watch, but doesn't have one. 9:57 The sad music highlights how, for a moment, this is actually a really difficult decision for him. Should he risk the reputation of an excellent worker that he's built up in his head? Or does he try and get noticed by this person he's never met and doesn't know he exists? He splits the difference and posts a message that is immediately forgotten by anyone who sees it. But it's the perfect message in the hustler's mind. Right on time. He's so proud of himself, he treats himself to another human interaction. Not that he talks to the authority figure that is literally contractually obligated to acknogledge him now and again or anything, though. He just says "hey boss" in his head. 10AM. Third coffee of the day, and breakfast. Dock the Macbook™. Dongle. Yubikey™. With the confidence and pride of a 90s hacker who just hacked into the pentagon, he starts his workday. Time for standup. He leaves his desk to walk back to it. He's always standing. There's not even a chair. Despite his best efforts, he can't skip the update. But hey, he's THE HUSTLER, clicking on a button is easy as pie for him. Look at that flourish. Checks the Robinhood™. His portfolio is crashing, which is absolutely fine since he tells himself it's just what he expected. 11:30. News blast. His "hot take" is three words and says less than nothing. That's a running theme too, actually. He says few words and they mean nothing. Lunchtime. Vegan bolognese. I don't know why he's vegan. My guess is he made a major life choice after reading some articles online that told him it would make him happy, interesting, and special. Bonus: It's a salad. It's just a goddamn but he calls it vegan bolognese because that sounds more interesting. He sits alone. I wonder why he avoids human interaction? Well, he does say he doesn't have time for it. But he's protecting himself a bit, right? He's had about two interactions with human beings, and the first one went bad when the barista didn't notice him. So my guess is he avoids it because he doesn't want the music in his head to stop. But it doesn't matter. He always sits alone. He's gotta tell himself he's being productive, by coming up with terrible startup ideas, like a for-profit library and a PRODUCTIVITY APP. Bonus: he was writing out an automatic toilet as a startup idea. I 've no idea what that is but I wouldn't buy it, probably. Also, before the zoom in on the start-up idea, he's scrawled a few things, like "Just believe" and "Elevate, imitate, success" and "I love me". "A moleskin and writing positive affirmations is all I need" he says. That's truer than he realizes. What would happen to him without those positive affirmations? Character limit reached.

“I have watched this so many times I'm actually starting to understand how their backend works.”
“I put this in my group chat at work today (because I think it's hilarious) not one single person laughed and the only response was from my boss who said "that's dark". I failed to deliver value.”
“The solution is to create a new service that converts Omegas time to ISO time.”
“The "how good this is" vs. "how few people can I show this to" ratio is so fucked for this.”
“This is one of the greatest videos I've seen on the internet. I was a software engineer in NYC, and I can attest that this video is video is sadly accurate - from the glorification of meaningless work, overhyped sense of self-importance, craving for public validation, and ultimate emptiness and meaninglessness of it all.”
“You can tell the trajectory of KRAZAM's career by the content of their videos”
“This is the most niche advanced comedy I know of. Honestly, this was such a gift of joy to receive today. Thank you more than you may ever know.”
“"I'm going to rename a file after you" Good god the setup for this was so perfect I'm fuckin wheezin at 2am in my bed lmaoo”
“"your friends and family understand what you do." That cuts deep”
“Masterpiece. Get this man a Netflix special immediately.”
“Just swingin by to check-in on my favourite youtube video. [x] CHECK. Watched at 1.5x to shave nearly 1 minute of idle viewing. New mechanical keyboard in place and i'm hammering out this comment at 140wpm”
“"You were born to deploy Kubunetes clusters" got me good. What hell are we living in?”
“The corporate jargon that basically amounts to nothing makes it truly dystopian, a modern horror masterpiece. The fact that reality is worse in a more mundane boring way as the camera slowly loses focus as the buzzwords keep coming.”
“At this point I'm afraid this video might actually be prophetic.”
“the meta evolves once again”
“"DevOps is a meaningful term" 😂 absolute stitches”
“Great synergistic energy, Krazam team. You really leveraged the space and your core competencies, but I have some critical feedback, so let’s sync up offline and go over it. I’ll put four hours on your calendar.”
““Grandpa, can we not talk about refactorable code today, please?” Lol goals when I become old.”
“This video captures the absolute weirdness of millennials and zoomers inheriting the bureaucratic systems created by baby boomers”
“The only part of this storyline I could predict was that they'd need to rollback the sqlite->postgres migration.”
“Didn’t have to do the old man’s code like that. That’s how you know he is incapable of emotion - you never touch the refactorability of a man’s code.”
