Wow! 5 million subscribers. I want to take a moment to let you guys in on a little bit of where I came from. Four years ago I was a nerdy programmer. (I’m still nerdy, by the way.) It was decent money but I was…bored. Not bored in the sense of, “this job sucks, I wish I was playing video games right now,” but bored in the sense of, there’s something greater calling me. I felt this powerful, inexplicable sense that I had a mission in this world. For some people this is a religious feeling, but for me it was weirdly…cultural. It’s hard to explain, but I guess I felt like I wanted to connect people from different countries to one another in a way that made people feel good. Like, to bring a little bit of my own joy and positivity into the world, from one culture to another. And so four years ago I quit my job. And yeah, maybe this all sounds stupid to you. “Get a real job, hippie!” And I get it, because sometimes I think this way when I hear this kind of stuff from other people. But that’s honestly how I felt. Like, how else does one get the motivation to leave a six-figure salary and a promising career as a software engineer to…become a full-time YouTuber? It literally doesn’t make sense. It’s not a rational decision unless you’re driven by something that’s frankly a little bit out there. And I doubted myself constantly. For the first year or two of making videos I was earning below the federal poverty level, and by the second year I was ready to quit. It was so depressing making videos that no one watched. It just felt like no one cared. I remember dusting off my old coding interview books – my plan was to start studying for another software job. And then something…just clicked, and my videos started going viral in a way that felt like, hey, maybe there’s something here after all. Ironically, the video that finally took off was something I almost didn’t post, until a friend encouraged me: “why not post it? Just one last time, and *then* go back to the software job.” And fast forward to today, and this whole thing has succeeded beyond anything I could have ever imagined. Thanks for helping me on my mission to make the world a little smaller!

Marching today in solidarity with the Asian community. Like many of you, over the past few weeks I've looked on with horror at the escalating violence against Asian Americans. I can't even begin to imagine the pain of the victims and their families of the attacks in Atlanta, San Francisco, and elsewhere. But even beyond this, throughout the course of this ENTIRE pandemic the Chinese and Asian American community has been under suspicion and literal attack. This needs to stop. March, donate, or reach out to your Asian friends. Let's make it clear that racism and hatred have no place in our society. Thanks to @thatcoffeyboy for organizing this Asian / Black solidary march (actually more like a protest run!). Find more resources, including where to donate, at advancingjustice-aajc.org. #StopAsianHate
