  • One of my favourites

    I’ve been listening to Jayme on YouTube for ages, and these are almost exactly the same show; you can just pick whichever one suits your style (watching him, or listening on the go).

    He has a really calm way of speaking and you get the feeling this guy could be your friend giving you advice. He’s religious but that doesn’t come into the show at all, which is greatly appreciated as a non-religious guy.

    I like him a lot.

  • Helped me with my career struggle

    The last couple of months I struggled with my sleep as I thought about software problems when I went to sleep. It really bugged me and I thought I‘m a bad programmer and was overwhelmed by the start of my career as a Software Developer.

    Then suddenly I stumbled upon the video about hacking sleep as a programmer of the Youtube channel of Jayme and it picked me up. Now I continously listen to the podcast or watch the videos. It gives me confidence and I have the feeling of learning a lot
