    hey! i just graduated with my b.s. in swe in may and JUST NOW got a job! im so pumped to start. you're definitely not alone in feeling imposter syndrome - in my internship i did last year i somehow ended up doing embedded systems which i had learned none of in school but nobody expects you to know anything at first, as long as you continue to learn! i know internships are different but i have a feeling it'll but the same once i start my job. i hope you're enjoying your job so far! i feel like im starting my journey alongside you :)

    Today, my mom wasn't feeling well and couldn't make our meal at noon. At first, I was unsure of what to do, but then I came across your video. It truly inspired me to cook for myself, my mom, and my dad. Thank you for sharing such an inspiring video! I really appreciate your hard work. Best wishes to you!

I hope I can make videos like that in the future, after I graduate and start my life as a software engineer. I'm also really interested in cybersecurity, AI, and robotics. 😪 I hope we get to meet in the future!

    Steph, I would highly recommend getting some computer glasses. It helps block the blue light, which is more than likely contributing to your post-work fatigue.

    I'm currently an undergrad studying for computer science for software engineering, would it possible to transition into SE with a CS degree? I've just enrolled for some classes I need for this upcoming semester, but I've been hesitant trying to go forward with this degree because I know it requires a lot of math which I'm not good at, at all. Would you have any tips/advice for this major in general, and what I could do to succeed better?

    Simple is always better. While modern front-end is loaded with a bunch of flashy HTML5 animations and JS derivatives, less can be more. And picking up the markup language takes way less time than it would for a programming language.
