🤓 about
I’m a software engineer based in London with a background in mechanical and aerospace engineering. Most of my time is spent reading, coding and drinking too much coffee. I got into coding by automating simulation workflows and building EdgeSheet.com, and now I’m documenting my life as an engineer on the internet.
Thanks for watching! :)

I'll just live vicariously through you and pretend I have a well-paying job in the industry I want
Watching your videos is such a chill experience
It's great that you learned about the state of layoffs fast - getting stuck in the layoffs limbo for weeks or months can be horrible for your psyche, especially when dealing with anxiety
Unfortunately it took a long time for us to know due to local regulations, so I understand precisely what you mean!
I love the life updates, please keep doing them.
I am learning how to code and it feels great learning something new!
I have the same issues with anxiety😢 Totally understand you!
No coffee ☕ for anxious people. My humble advice.
I have to try this but I love coffee so much it’s a comfort
@@CSJackie idk if it helps but decaf might be an alternative. If you get into teas some of them are calming and they are a comfort drink too
Randomly came across your channel the other day and ended up binging on all your work. Love your format and really admire your routines, your attempts at balancing health, life, and your needs. You produce such great content all around and I'm rooting for you in all you set out to do.
Don't worry about things you can't control; focus on what you can. It's a key to good well-being.
You have such clear, concise, smooth communication skills Jackie which is rare among software engineers. Can try out story telling or english coaching as side hustle.
Miss Jackie on the stress. Everytime you have a thought in that nature simply say out loud. Stop Being Thought bias. Redirect thoughts to a helpful area.
I've binged through your entire RUclips channel and loved every bit of it.
i love u
Loved your comment! 😊 Let's keep this our little secret-especially from the boyfriend! 😉

It’s unfortunate that major tech companies frequently resort to widespread layoffs, leading to a lack of job security and the constant need to be vigilant. It’s a relief to hear that you’ve managed to navigate through it.
Lovely video as always Jackie :) Your voice and demeanor have such a calming effect. Blessings 😀
Watching this on a Sat morning and hearing Chime ring in the background feels just straight illegal LOL
L-Theanine s a nutritional supplement that helps to ease anxiety. When you drink coffee
damn man, I thinks I am falling love with this dude!
Nice VLOG as always, Jackie! Keep up the good work 🥹😇
Thank you so much 🥹❤
Stay healthy. I recently got the long side of the stick in our company layoffs.
You have the most organized refrigerator I've ever seen. Also... Brewdog, nice!
They're working so hard to get the company leaner. It's good to hear your team has not been impacted. ✌️ Happy coding.
Omg that concert looks sick
Don't worry Jackie, some of us, here in Romania, have not received electricity bills since January 2023, and we have no stress about payments. We can't wait to reschedule payments..
Nice vlog champ❤ Keep up the good work
The Fear Bubble by Ant Middleton, helped me learn to live with my fears and anxieties and gave some good advice on tools to cope
The first world problems you guys have are fascinating 😂 3:10
Watching the LOTR orchestra live must have been the best experience ever
I don’t own a home yet! Excited to own a home though!
Thank you for sharing! Hope you get another good offer soon.
My bed... And in video, perfect picture, is: Heading homne after work. Thanks for video. (0:01-től)
Anxiety is very common, especially if you feel lonely and/or isolated. Even I had situations last year, and that was when I was ill too. I started acting irrationally and trying to remedy that problem. "What if this?" It came up again a couple of weeks ago. Being without a job, lonely in your apartment is not fun.
To be fair, I felt lonely at my last job that I quit.
Im really sorry to hear, and I understand what you mean. I hope you feel better 🤍
Love your vlogs!!
dude i work at amazon too and when i heard the chime call my heart dropped a little lol
😂
I'm a coder for AWS UK - I'm hating the layoffs at the moment
I just did 50 minutes ranging from 10-15%. Love doing this when I can't do my normal uphill skiing workouts.
I love Magic Mind! I added the sleep subscription to my monthly order- we"ll see how that goes. My insomnia is so bad even without my anxiety that I'm desperate for anything that will work
good to see you and great vlog. layoff currently happening are due to the excessive recruitment during covid times in fang companies in order for economic stabilization and second due to ai.My friend got layed off from audi after they adopted valispace a new ai based tool for product development.Many layyoffs will happen but if people can adapt using ai and create there own passive income through multiple projects, a steady income will be helpfull
I feel your anxiety when you started talking about layoffs. I work at Bumble and also had a mini meltdown at the start of this year. Big tech right now is not doing well at all 😢
Hey I have thaat same chair! It's comfy as hell, innit? Lol
I'm also an overthinker 😅
lmao! I feel the same way as you after working out!
i feel u about exercise and anxietyi really like your content!!! thx for posting! gl with your work! you are cool!
You're the best ❤❤
🥹❤️❤️
beautiful and smart...
Hey Jackie. Do you usually use the public transport to go to the office and home or you got a car, motorbike or bicycle?
Great video by the way!
What’s the difference between layoff and firing? Is lay-off like an easy and or synonymous with firing! Quite misleading with the not getting layed off 😂❤it’s weird how I feel a slight sense of relief that you didn’t get layers off even though it doesn’t affect me!
Will check out those books… thx!
Dang, we are so opposites when it comes to utilities. I forgot to set up autopay on my water bill and completely forgot until I got mail telling me they were about to shut my water off because I hadn't paid my bill from October (this mail came in February). If I never got an electricity bill, I'd be blowing fuses running a server farm in my apartment 😆
hahahah I was a glitch in the system. Who knows, maybe I wouldn't have had to pay if I didn't raise it :')
I'm considering therapy because i've been stuck at a deeply unsatfying data science job which, on paper, is an otherwise great role (good salary, benefits, colleagues, etc..) But the actual day-to-day is so incredibly dull that I often arrive home with my mood permanently tainted. The job market sucks too, which isn't making it easy to find a new one. I feel so ungrateful because I know a lot of people would kill for my job. Do you think this 'warrants' therapy? Sorry to ask such a naive question, but interested to hear your opinions :) Great video
I need your glasses.
Hello CS Jackie. This is a question unrelated to the main content of your videos but are your brief introductory poses an intentional parody/homage/imitation of Kelly Stamps poses? Just seeking confirmation. Thanks!
being a person who scrolls on the phone.... Don't you scroll on your phone? like Instagram or Tiktok?
LotR ay. What do you think of Tolkien's opinion of Disney and Dune, eh heh. I've never read the books, I think it's quite overdue.
Sam and Frodo forever ❤️
Yeah market is kinda broken now.
I have a job, but pay is crap (im from argentina).
I want to change, so, for about a year now im having lots of interviews, and even when in ALL the process i killed it, the common "we decide to go with someone else..." comes.
2 years back, with a mediocre tech interview, i knew that the job was mine... And 99% of times that was true.
But now its being SUPER hard, the entire interviews cycles are much longer and harder.
And im not asking for a "super" pay or anything... Im asking for not more than u$4k/month (which es VERY cheap for US companies) for someone with B2 upper /C1 english level, 4.5 years of experience Android developer as myself.
I dont know what will happen in the mid term with IT.
from which country u are??
Portugal
hi jackie, what camera and lens are you using? thanks!
Do you read more than one book at a time? How do you keep the stories straight?
7:02 Where are the Pecci stickers on your Computer?
How do you handle the day to day job with all the layoffs in FAANG? That's one of the reasons I've put off applying for roles with them.
Love the vids 🎉
Thank you 😊🙏 it’s tough, I think the best way to handle it is to make a rough plan and play it safe. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst
@@CSJackie Good advice, do you speak with your manager or colleagues about the matter or is it frowned upon?
love your vlog from Bangladesh!
Funny coincidence, but I've had a similar experience with a bill I hadn't paid because it was not there yet... Worriers of the world :D
Nice, Jackie i have a question..
How many programming lenguage you know?
Also, what laptop you recommending for programming?
Thank you! I'd say maybe 3-4
Linux or macOS are both great for programming. Hardware wise, you don't need much unless you're running heavy computations locally e.g. training ML/AI. A mid-range CPU and 16GB RAM are usually enough for most types of programming :) but of course, if you want to splurge, go for it. It doesn't hurt.
what is your stack?
9:08 Brewdog punk ipa😂 respect from Ukrain
hello, please tell me what brand of keyboard and monitor you have?)
Hello Carmen ( if I remember correctly 😅 ). I got the codecademy pro which you recommended. So far so good. What would you recommend doing? Doing as much as it provides or doing a few courses and practicing alone? What projects would you do if you traveled again back in the past?
Thank u :)
That’s great, glad to hear!
I would suggest doing the career paths as they’re super comprehensive. The Comp Sci one and then the ML/AI engineer one would be a good combo. They’re both safe bets
I made a generic video about how I would learn to code from scratch if I had to do it again. It was posted a few weeks ago. Codecademy offers most of the stuff I mention in their comp sci and full stack Eng career paths
I really appreciate you answering. :)
there use to be a link to your hardware - like a linktree or something. I lost the link, can you please reshare it?
Hi,
did you learn anything else than python for your it career?
thanks
Hello Jackie, I'm Peter, frontend developer from Germany. Do you also develop in your free time? If yes, what ?
Hi there
I'm from China. I watch your video to practice my English listening.. And you're really cute.
👍🏽 😊 Wow.... Alot of info....
Thank you 😊🙏
You’re pretty 😮
What mac do you use?
Why do people go to the gym to walk. Why not just go outside and walk.
your own apartment is a step towards your home with a dog)
You’re too pretty to be paying rent. 💘
so if you get laid off, you may have to go back to building rockets? I think you worry a lot, like, just tell the electric company to figure it out and send you a bill. Like, are you afraid if you don't pay the bill, they will send somebody off to eliminate you from Earth?
are you a Capricorn because you seem to plan well... are you from Russia or Ukraine because you eat health and don't drink soda and exercise and have good self control and moderation... oh but then I saw you were cooking Portuguese food so may be you grew up in Portugal
Wait I m going to call jeff bezos.
Hey Ma'am
how are you?
Do you need a professional RUclips thumbnail designer?
You need a husband or boyfriend
Glad you survived! I just got laid off in a recent round 🫠
😣 I’m so sorry, sending you strength!
You're wasting too much time being stressed over silly things. Too much focus trying to control things in this life, that you really have no control over. Seek the Lord then enjoy time you spend on this green earth.
congrats on not getting laid off😆
"Days in my life as a diversity hire"
did an indian team take the position? Ive seen it happen to so so many people here. we've got to regulate this a bit more. American jobs to americans, and whatever cannot be filled outsource
