Why it worked
The video likely resonated with other software engineers due to its relatable portrayal of common work habits, such as extensive tab usage, code procrastination, and reliance on AI for documentation. The humor and self-awareness in the content would have contributed to its shareability.
Summary
A software engineer shares two common, relatable habits: opening numerous browser tabs for research and leaving 'to-do' comments in code that are never addressed. They humorously note that they often resort to using ChatGPT for documentation instead of reading it themselves, describing it as a cycle of research, procrastination, and outsourcing the thinking.
