Hey friends! My good friend Jarvis made an awesome video that answers a lot of questions y'all have about Software Engineering. Go check it out! ruclips.net/video/c_YdfnTDgPY/видео.html
good one
jarvis that is a cool name
Are u Japanese ?
You are looking like a puppy.
Great video! I'm forwarding it to my niece right now!
Guys, here's a pro advice: Build your own website and start showcasing your projects there. You can build your own projects, no need to have clients or work as a freelancer or intern at a company. This is how I got my foot in the door and it really works. Employers see you differently when you have your own website and post articles about what you do. Even if you have no Computer Science degree (I don't).
Nice, I am also trying to develop my own webpage just to showcase my past projects related to mechatronic and mechanical engineering projects as well my hobbies. Definitely include articles as update. Thanks for great advice
Daniel Dogeanu thanks
That's really great advice thank you. It would really help if you could share your website link so maybe we can have an idea about what kind of products to build.
Checkout my open source portfolio, hope it will help... github.com/pranavpandey/pranavpandey.github.io
Oh my god , this advice is really amazing and so unique, I think this might be the type of thing that really makes people stand out in interviews. How did u get started, like what did you learn to make a website?? What sources did you use?
when she said "i learned a lot"
she actually meant A FUCKING LOT
A couple months ago, I was looking for some female representation in the computer science community, but I couldn't find anything. It's so encouraging and inspiring to see you and your videos. I hope to major in computer science next year, and after seeing your positive opinion on it, I'm even more excited. Thank you so much!
+Amaya Jimenez wow thank you! Glad I can help 😁 best wishes ❤️
Rico Schindler Will do! Thanks!
here, this is pretty inspiring! :D
ruclips.net/video/kTn56jJW4zY/видео.html
How did it go? what are you doing now?
@@callMeHasoomy I'm a computer science major in my 3rd year of undergraduate study. I've even got a couple SWE internships under my belt too. So so far so good! I'm really excited to graduate and be a full-time SWE engineer really soon. I forgot that I wrote this comment so thanks for the reminder. It's cool seeing things like this come full circle 😌👩💻
My dream job = not having to work full time and still make a living.
Me too XD
my dream job is to be self employed and be rich enough to live comfortably without worrying about financial incompetence.
Don't we all...
My dream job is just chilling and getting money
Chatao Lauj that’s y it’s a “dream” job
Hello Mayuko!! This video really inspired me to continue my CS major with even more passion than before. I go to college in SF, and am currently taking a Data Structures class. There are definitely many times where I feel like I'm not cut out for this major bc I tend to compare myself to everyone else and I tend to see myself as a slower learner or someone that hasn't accomplished as much. However, I'm still just as determined to learn as much as I can about all the different programming languages and hopefully land an awesome job like you! Also going to be tuning in to your videos for motivation & inspiration! ❤️
Nicole all the best!
hey, I too passed data structures class this semester. And on spring term I will take oop, is it same for you?
hey I'm learning JS by myself and when I can't understand something basic I feel so stupid and slow...so I just think we should stop comparing our learning pace with others and it feels so much harder to learn by yourself and not have a school environment for learning
I hope you better now.
Hey Mayuko, I was at the physicsgirl education talk at Vidcon as well. It was definitely very insightful as well as enlightening to hear the experience from a non male perspective being on youtube focusing on the sciences. Hope to see your next vid soon.
+Lets Build That App Hi there! That's awesome, I've been following your videos too! Love your stuff 😄
Wow I follow both of you!! Brian, you inspired me to switch my focus in life to coding!! I am loving it so far, but I still have a lot to learn
crossover
Haha, It is so good to see you here too. I just decided to start a channel myself. I follow both of you because you have similar content topics I planned to create and I wanted to get some ideas how others do it. I am happy to see that I am not the only one doing it :) Have a great day creating suuuper videos :D
i got really exciting noticing your comment below. WOW! :D
The joy I feel when I see women making videos on software engineering
OOOH i love this idea!! I'll start poking them to see if they'd be down for something like this. Thank you for the idea 💜
I love this idea too.Interviews are always awesome.
That would be awesome !!
agreed I am happy to have found a female software engineer channel.
Thank goodness I found your channel, Mayuko! I'm in my third year studying IT and I'm not sure of which field to focus on. I spent my first 2 years just barely getting by and it's making me so depressed. Hearing your journey into Software Engineering is inspiring me to try harder now. Thanks for sharing your experience, you just saved a life.
I have 0 to do with software engineering or all these things you're talking about, but I found out about your channel today when my Recommended section had your 'a day in a life of' video.
Not only are your videos really well-paced, but you're also an extremely good communicator, and your enthusiasm is ridiculously contagious.
I subscribed because your take on your work and your view of it and your field is super interesting, and I'm always excited to learn more about what people do, so thanks for your videos!
Mayuko your way of presenting computer science so creative. As a computer science student makes me so proud of choosing this major so I create things for betterment of people.
Sweet video - thanks for posting :D
I started my first job in software engineering about a year ago where there are few female developers :( It's fab to see you bossing it :D
I love this story. I know a lot of cs majors who have this idea that if you didn't start coding at age 11 you don't have what it takes.
My story is hopefully going to be very similar to yours! (I already failed declaring a major twice, hopefully cs is the one lol)
Omg! Im a Computer science graduating student and have a soft spot for space! Thanks for this Mayuko! I hope to see you someday and personally thank you.
wow, I had such a hard time coding while working in college. Making up for it now though. You should be super proud!
Dedication and hard work is the key guys, everything else is just peanuts
@@allthecommonsense Haha that's cause American talent is diminished and those companies need talent from outside but yes, if you're talking about IT services then most of it is outsourced with no jobs there for Americans.
I have only watched a couple of your videos but I really like your approach towards the topic 'Software Engineering'. There are tons of RUclipsrs creating videos everyday about CS and software development, etc but I like that you let us take a look into your personal experiences about this field and I generally just feel that your videos are not just informative but also quite intimate :) So thank you, I have been enjoying them so far.
As a high school girl interested in Computer Science, this video (actually your whole channel) is not only extremely helpful but also very motivational. What advice would you give to girls who are uncertain about CS? Thank you so much.
Hi! I'm currently in my second year college TRYING to get into my university Computer science program. I'm so glad i found your channel it inspires me to work even harder. I know computer science is what i want to do, and I've been scared about whether or not i would succeed, but lately my hard work has been giving me great results! I love the content you make and keep it up! Thank you!
the lil geek in me has been awaken, thank you very much... i live in Africa and doing some python course on edx
Love your channel! Subscribed!
I graduated college long time ago and been in the travel industry for the past 12 years until I finally decided to make a career change to coding and your videos are so encouraging! I feel like it's too late to make the change and also not confident in myself but watching you helps for some reason. Your videos are just really informative and relaxing at the same time.
Btw, you are so attractive and pretty! (maybe that's the reason...:P)
Thanks for your video, I have my major in Electronics and communication, but after i realised that i am more interested in programming i am learning the languages. Your video really motivated me.
When you want to take a break from the Techlead, goto mayuko. :D
I'm so happy that I found you, I myself are training myself to be a programmer, and see if that takes me further into computer science someday. Right now I'm loving it!! Following you and watching your videos has showed me that your way of life looks a lot like the way of life I would like to have. A LOT!!
Wow, this really helped. I'm still in high school and am passionate in both Computer Science and Physics. Your example of using CS in other fields is really inspiring to me. I'm just starting to figure out the different career paths I can take, and this is helping me narrow down my options. Of course, nothing beats just taking the courses through trial and error to figure out what profession you want to be in, but this is still helping my decision process.
nice video! was wondering how you went about leaving intuit for another opportunity, what's the usual procedure/way to do it gracefully. Also for a future video it would be great to talk about what it's like to live/work in the valley, what the culture is like and stuff. Everyone I've talked to about it have had conflicting experiences.
Hi Tom! Thank you! It's common courtesy (maybe even law where I live?) to give 2 weeks notice to the job that you're leaving. When I left Intuit I knew about a month ahead of time so I let my manager know as soon as I made the decision to leave so that any handoff of knowledge or projects could be done thoughtfully and easily! Also because of weekly check-ins with my manager about my career goals, my decision to leave a position or company usually is not a big surprise - my managers in the past have been extremely supportive about my decision!
I can totally see how there could be conflicting opinions! I'd be happy to talk about this in a future video (and offer up another opinion, my own), thanks for the idea!
I am a software engineering undergrad, and I didn't have a choice to decide what I wanted to do because of family reasons and for the few two and half years of my degree, I absolutely resented studying software. Then in the second half of my third year, I stopped thinking about why I was studying and instead focused on what computer science was all about and honestly, I found it so interesting that it makes me angry that I didn't take it seriously. Obviously, it's a struggle because all the concepts I was supposed to learn in the first few years, I have to learn now and I am not at all good enough for someone who is starting their fourth year next sem, but despite that, once I really familiarized with the subject and understood it's impact, I found out that I really wanted to do this, to be good at it.
I have an assignment due that I am struggling with and came upon your channel while looking for some motivation and it made me happy that I am still here and didn't give up. I know it might take me a few semesters longer to graduate than the usual four, cause I am still learning the basics, I had to start all over, but I am so determined to do it. I really really want to be a software engineer, and I really want to learn and watching this video reinforced me with some inspiration so thank you. I hope I can reach the success that you did.
"Go with your gut, and what your passionate about." Those are words I live by. Great video.
I'm a UCSD undergraduate studying math and computer science right now! This was pretty inspiring since I tend to have a lot of questions about the direction of my career, but the foot-in-the-door technique is definitely something to keep in mind. Thanks for sharing your story!
M , I have played around with programming ( C and PHP) but the most I've done is just create batch files - no big deal but my then employer gave me some rewards b/c it saved so much time. You are amazing, u have a great presence, are very smart and sooo pretty on top of all that - u my dear will go places, may God smile on you M.
Hey Mayuko. Watching this and your other videos actually helped to broaden and helped me gain more knowledge to tackle Software Engineering. I’ve been uncomfortable about it due to not so good math skills. But yesterday I gave it a try to learn a language and it actually felt exciting. I can’t wait to step on college and actually do something bigger in my career. Thank you again!
Computer science is intimidating. Can you make a video about getting past the people who are more advanced and getting over regret of not starting earlier in life? Your videos are great, and I'm considering becoming a software engineer.
Amy Rodriguez are you currently a CS major?
I feel the same learning different languages seems to be like a burden on me
I struggled a bit the past few months regarding the same thing : people around me going further than me , and regretting not starting earlier. Mayuko, I would also like to know your tips on how to block such thoughts so as to keep learning with determination and motivation :)
Hello! i just made a video just about that , especially that very few girls go into software engineering ! Check it out if you want ruclips.net/video/wzVPAXBm1Is/видео.html Thanks :)
As a first year cs student at 25. I would say the most important thing to remember is every day you are fulfilling your vision or your goal. If you start to think about how long it’s going to take or how your behind before you even began then your only setting yourself up in that state of mind. If the timing thing really bothers you then remind yourself how fast the last few years flew by. Then remind yourself again ,how in no time you’ll fulfill your vision or goal/dream
I really need to hear this! I just had my 30th bday and have decided to go back to school after being out for so many years. Yesterday my math teacher told me that even if i did my best in his class I would have a 90% chance of failing his class. So in other words his negative comments made me rethink not only going back to school but the major i chose.. Thanks for the encouraging words!!!!
Don't let the negative words get you down ! Keep working and succeed. It's about you and your life and your pride. This math teacher is just a random person in for some time, out for most of your lifetime, so why would you even care about him right ? 😉
I really like your videos. I'm in my second year of computer science degree. Right now I'm learning app and web development. Your journey is really inspiring for me. Keep making such amazing videos. Thanks!
Mayuko, you went through college with the best method, graduated with tons of experience. I went to UCSD also, in the early 1990’s, with the opposite method and couldn’t land a job after graduation. Please use your natural verbal skill, very EF Hutton ( "When E. F. Hutton talks, people listen,"), to emphasize the importance of EXPERIENCE!!! Even with non-paid intership, EXPERIENCE is so important!!! Your verbal skill, I bet landed you tons of opportunities through life! Love your voice, please continue with your VLogging. Me, I put people asleep! ;-) Thanks, Seth.
It's awesome to Hear Mayuko! I am a software engineer too.. And That literally makes me happy. Building your own code and solving world's problem is an awesome feeling. Sometimes a bit frustrating there seems to be no solutions to a problem. But eventually.. You'll get there. Thats the awesomeness of this field. Your videos did inspired me alot and Thank you for making all that.. All the very best!
Were you good at programming back when you were a sophomore? Getting an internship in the summer of sophomore is pretty cool. I am a CS sophomore but I am still not capable of writing any program let alone complex ones. But I am still learning so I am giving up. Can you make a video of how to learn to code for CS freshman and sophomore? Thank you
エンジニアに挑戦してみたくて悩んでいたのですが、勇気が出ました!
情熱を感じられるものに飛びついて自分の道を作っている姿がかっこよくて憧れです!
I'm 12 and I am 100% sure I want to be a software engineer. My parents keep bugging me to code more as I don't do it that often at the moment, but I knew that I didn't need to worry as i knew that many people didn't start programming until the are in college
Thank you for inspiring a lot of women to pursue a degree related in tech and sciences. As a grade 12 student as of the moment, I think i know what course to take in college. Keep motivating a lot of people, mayuko!! :)
as someone who just started doing a bachelors in computer science, it really nice to see the perspective of someone in the field, much appreciated
Subbed! I ran into your video while looking for help with one of my C++ assignments lol. I'm an EE major and on the fence of changing majors to Software Engineering Technology. Its been 9 years since I dropped out of my junior year in college. Coming back to college and trying to remember everything dedicated to my EE program is quite daunting. For some reason, I'm picking up C++ easier and quicker than any of my electronics courses. I'm still getting a grasp of the logic behind programming, it's coming quicker and it's got my attention. Thank you for your uploads as they are very inspiring :D
Thank's for making all your videos. They help understand more the possibilities of a software engineer. I am at the moment trying to decide between going the computer software route, or the electrical. I am leaning a lot to computers, and more to software in recent weeks. Take care, and have a good day.
I really enjoyed watching your video and how much you love software engineering. It just makes me wanna love my job and have fun at the same time.
Great video, I agree 100%. There isn't one way to get into software engineering, I myself was from an economics background originally and decided to go into software without a degree. After going through multiple online courses and showcasing various online personal projects I was finally able to secure to secure my dream job, and couldn't be happier. It's definitely possible, if you want it. and you don't necessarily always need to go the conventional route to get it.
Thanks for this! Keep this vids coming, whether it be coding tips and tricks or vlogs just keep it coming.
Thanks Malik!! :D
I don't know if you're gonna see this. But I was a little lost as I also became a CS major in college after a year of trying bio/chem, this video really helped me solidify my choice in going towards Software Engineering. Thank you. :). Really like this channels content!
I am 30 years old and made it into a trainee programme at a huge IT outsourcer. Not much internship experience before, just one as a dev in python.. Now everything will be hard. I will be coding in Java and be an engineer. I used to be a (failed) video editor, not know what to do in my life. I was studying STEM, finished digital media with a bsc and now the software eng life chose me. I am taking udemy classes to fill up gaps and learn the patterns and OOP and stuff.
This was an amazing video! I'm a recent mechanical engineer graduate and just like you said, keeping a social life plus orgs and demanding classes was the hardest thing ever. But anyway I'm currently still applying and interviewing for my first career position. Its hard, lots of rejection lol but this video motivated me to keep on pushing and get that job I deserve. Thank you, Mayuko. Hopefully, our engineering paths cross one day.
Thank you mayuko, I am a student in Finland, and just get refused from many companies for internship. your videos, somehow, gave me some encourage and advice. But I still feel confused for what to learn, front-end or back-end, mobile or web. I tried all of them, but there is not much feeling until now.
Inspiring stuff, love what you're doing with this! I'm full stack web developer (really junior at this stage) and I always love to see these stories. I look forward to your future videos!
Thank you for sharing your story! I have been really worried about majoring in computer science since last year because I didn't know what I really want to do. I love art but I also love technology, sadly my high school doesn't have much tech classes so I was afraid that I wouldn't get a job in the future.
However, your story makes me a bit more relieved because it doesn't seem like it is never too late to learn about programming/computer science!
Thank you so much~
This video was very encouraging. I’m currently a software engineering student (just finished my first semester) and have been nervous about how I’ll break into this career field as it’s so new for me. This video really helped!
I can relate in so many ways, never programmed before college either, just got my degree in May and started my first job working on financial software. Anyway, I'm so happy for you :) Can't wait to see more videos!
Hey! I am on my way to software engineering and it was very inspiring to listen to you. Thanks! :)
Randomly stumbled on your videos and I love what you're doing! I went to undergrad in a school that's over 50% computer science majors so I tried getting into it, but felt discouraged because I felt like everyone else was just so much better at it. It wasn't until my senior year that I realized that it didn't matter and that I should follow my interests. At that point it would've taken too long to complete a cs major so I took whatever cs courses I could and finished my BS in math in 2016. I'm currently pursuing a masters in cs and low-key stressing over internships, but hearing about your journey has somehow made it all a bit better. Maybe it's also because you're a fellow Japanese-American.
Anyways, I hope you keep creating content like this! #subscribed
You're such an inspiration! I'm glad I found your channel, I've been so passionate about computer science and finding more inspiration from you has skyrocketed my thoughts on working even more harder to achieve my goals! Thank youu 💕💕
I'm not even interested in software engeniering but I love how you put it that I wanna learn something more about it. Continue doing videos. This is actually pretty good and I'm sure you are making impact in young people like me or thousands more. Sorry about my english btw. Please don't stop making videos.
Hi Mayuko, thanks for another great video. Love those emoji 😁. Patreon seems like such a great and fun place to work! Love to find out more about how you approach and learn about mobile & ios development. Keep them videos coming! 😄
I totally have the exact mug you have at the beginning haha, what are the odds! I'm new to your channel and I love your energy. I'm an Aerospace Engineering student trying to learn computer science out of self interest (and I'm finishing in one more semester so I can't do a minor). Your story is super insightful and inspiring, thanks so much for sharing!
That's a great and inspiring story. For me I haven't gone through a CS program but want to learn and get into programming. Once again I just wanted to thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Thanks myan, u inspire me. Tons of blessing to u.
Your videos help me relaxing everytime I want to sleep, and the bonus from that is that I'm learning something about software engineering too, wow, you're amazing!
Hey you are my hero. I am beginnier in Java. So I needed a person I mean female person who is soooooo inspectional. Thank you.
Rebeca Armani Java is deprecated. Move to Kotlin
Denis Belfort lololol
Rebeca Armani Why? If your interested just do it. Why do you need another female?
dsfa12 a123fas so all the Java programmers I know are boys my like my bro , my friends so it is kind of unusual for me but I am going strong and I love it so much and I have a lot of support so thank you.
That's good to hear! Do what you love!
She's naturally disposed to be a good software engineer, picking it up quickly even though she had no experience before college.
You are amazing, I'm looking forward in seeing your next videos, I am curently studying to be a programmer and it helps a lot to hear your experience, I can't wait to hear more tips from you on how to be good at this job. You are realy great.
Big Dreamer pl tell me
Seeing hard work paying off really delights!
It's simply fun to receive this positive energy you share.
Keep it up! I'm a great fan! Your videos have so much style and your content is really enriching with all this knowledge and experiences you are sharing!
Best regards! ♡
Your story as a freshman is very similar to mine, except it took me 2 years to switch to computer engineering instead of a semester. I spent my first year doing a foundation program where we must take English, math and computer subjects if we don't get a minimum score in ACT exam, without allowing us to take courses related to our accepted major like chemistry or calculus, it was a total non sense program that was modified for the best the year after for the freshmen, where they don't have to waste two semesters - yah, how lucky am I-. Next year I was in a pre-pharmacy program taking first-year pharmacy subjects, and upon our performance - GPA- mainly and other stuff we will be accepted to the pharmacy program or else rejected, my performance in 3 chemistry courses was horrible and I was rejected, I went through hard time then not knowing what to do, first thing I thought about is that I want to switch to engineering, then my friend told me she wants to do computer engineering, and I thought about it and saw it the most major suitable for me.
hey, love your videos! I'm currently studying CS in my A-Levels (in the UK) and I plan on going to uni this September to study CS, after I graduate I really want to move to silicon valley and work for a great company, your videos are great for inspiration! keep it up!
Very unique page, I dig the information. I'm an electrical engineer major but I have a lot of interest in programming/mobile development. Keep up the videos!
Thanks Mayuko (btw, love your name), very inspirational. I'm majoring in biochemistry while teaching myself to code. Currently, I'm going down the web development route (html, css, javascript, php etc) and building sites part-time. TBH I'm starting to wonder why my major is biochem lol, but I'm sticking with it nonetheless. We'll see where it leads.
Thank you for your videos. I am currently going to college for Software Development and Security, your videos give me a lot of insight on what to expect.
Mayuko, thank you for the inspiring video! The way you found and developed your passion for software engineering has given me the courage to continue developing a passion of my own.
Waaait a minute, it seems like you and Jarvis started y'all channels at the same time. Is he your youtube video buddy? That's pretty cool :)
I look forward to more videos from the both of you; I'll need them when I graduate~
I want to be software engineer when I grow up....you are my idol!!!
Hi Mayuko, really enjoyed your video, and also our conversation on the train yesterday, on the way to San Francisco. Best, Paul
God everything about your story is so inspiring
Thank you so much! I'm definitely hoping to make a video featuring their story as well.
Nice. I am glad to see more people into CS. I am struggling to find an internship but I am hopefully for a job program I got accepted into. So wish me luck.
I am still in high school, and after 2nd year we are offered to choose a course, various types, but this year for us and future generations they added informatic communication course which I chose. We will have many interesting subjectnlike mobile app development, Microsoft access subject, programming, software engineering and so on...
All in all, I want to thank you now, and I hope i will thank you many more times in the future, because watching your videos gave me confidence and courage to persuade that course and my life goals, in which I was insecure in the past.
All I want is to thank you for showing me the other page of this profession and job.
P. S. Love your videos 😀😀😀
I understand you, I write usually python and matlab code for my work but it is so much fun
I think, you will be better vlogger than most of other youtuber because you have different life energy.
Wow! Your place offers a lot of opportunities! Thanks for making this channel. Looking forward for more videos! I'm working as a developer myself.
I'm motivated AF right now , thanks !!!!
I am a CS major and look at a few ways to get my foot in the door, knowing the path you took is really helpful and inspirational so thank you for that. Just have to start doing some research on where I apply while I'm still in school learning
I'm going to share this video with my daughters. You have an awesome channel. Thanks!
VERY INSIGHTFUL IN MY JOURNEY! THANK U!
this motivated me so much!
Did you ever, at some point, fail an interview? Im studying computer engineering and Im starting my final year soon, still have no idea what I want to do from there. Judging from the classes I've had, I hate every single subject I studied for. Your journey seems like what I dreamt I would do in college, while I was in high school( in which I had some computer science classes). Haven't lost hope yet, just overwhelmed. I like your content :)
Nice video!! It is very nice to know that you went to same University that I went. I am class of 98 (should be 96 but it took me 6 years to graduate :( ) I really enjoy your last two videos and I am planning to show those to my kids to help them thinking about what they want to do when they grow up. Although I am a software engineer myself, I guess it would be different from hearing someone who is way younger that their dad. :) Thanks for putting these nice videos on RUclips!
I just reread this and am so humbled. Thank you so much 🙏
So inspirational. Thank you, Mayuko. You’re the reason I am a now aspiring Software Engineer.
Hey i just wanted to say im a Bioinformatics student at UCSD right now and its always cool hearing how alumni are doing! Makes me feel more confident about my future lol
Mayuko,I'm learning to be a backend developer in web technology,it's self study and without a degree....any advice or tips for me? Also since your channel has just started to grow,make sure to make videos for-not only those in the journey to software development via a degree,but also,those in it without the degree....These will be two main types of audiences your content would be watched by.Where you are now,you can help these two a lot .Do your best,Mayuko
Same graduating year here, 2014. Only I did it in the polar opposite, liberal arts. Just moved to San Diego to hopefully study programming while freelancing in HR (the field I got into after college). Loving your videos and hopefully I will learn enough to join the field soon.

It's my dream to work in Hollywood as an Animation Artist...
Hey Mayuko, recently I stumbled upon your videos. It's good to see you succeed. It is much better to see you succeed publicly! Computer stuff - specifically all the programming aspects - are deemed very unpopular by the female gender most of the time. This is mostly due to simply not knowing what exactly the job is. So thanks for showcasing your whole way into this scene and explaining what it's all about. Keep doing what you're doing and enjoy it!
Much respect towards the iOS/Swift grind! (coming from a hopeful iOS dev in college) :)
I'm studying 2nd Mechanic Eng and I was so happy to find out you studied at UCSD! :D Probably gonna binge watch your videos now to maybe learn some tips! *currently struggling to get any interviews for internships"
Awesome videos! Please continue to share with us. Very inspirational as someone who is getting back into code.
i studied english literature in university for 2 years then dropped out due to emotional instablity and financial problems. During this year i fell in love with software engineering and just decided to browse some videos before i apply. I have not done maths in like lightyears and its daunting. I was having doubts but your video really made me want to pursue it further!
0pda 1 Sorry for pointing this out but stuff like this really bothers me. Lightyears are a measurement of distance not time despite the "years" suffix.
no need to apologies im glad to be corrected! now i wont make a dummy of myself in the future!
mayuko seems like such a chill, friendly, warm-hearted person. I hope to meet SDEs like her in my future job!
"College is one of the hardest tings that i've ever done"
