    I was thinking of why I like your videos so much and I realised that's because you're not faking anything. Your videos aren't making me jealous or anxious about my own reality, because you show both the good and the bad things in your life. And thanks to this, I cheer you on your every journey and keep my fingers crossed like for a close friend :) Cheers from Poznań, Poland

In the meantime, I also did a course marathon at Netacademy and once I finished I applied for a job that was being offered to the bootcamp alumnis.

    Girl give yourself some grace, your colleagues may be switching up but youve been working two jobs between UA-cam and software engineering and I'm sure they look at you like you're doing the cool big things too. Growing and exploring is important but do it for you not in comparison to others on their own path. A podcast would be very cool though, your voice is so peaceful. You're doing fantastic!! 🧡

    I write a blog myself and I recently had these same ideas of why are you posting this, no one reads it or like why are you even writing for the blog at all. So yes i always mentally block myself but i also have trained myself to ignore those thoughts. The answer is because I love it. I love writing and creating content on the topics I write about.
    All of that to say if you are happy with what you are doing, just keep doing what you are doing and don’t compare yourself to others (I know that is hard to do). If you want to do something creative like create a podcast and you have doubts - just do it! If it will make you happy, just do that creative thing or make that change. You can always change what makes you happy as you grow as a person
    Also don’t worry about not knowing what you want to do for the rest of your career and life. A part of the fun in life is that you don’t know and you surprise yourself. I made a huge career change after almost 10 years in 1 career and thought I was destroying my life but I am so glad I did. If you would have told me 5 years earlier that I was going to make that change, I would have thought you were nuts. Life will hand you opportunities and push you in the direction you should be going but if you want to take the leap and try something out - that is fantastic and you should totally do that both in career and creative outlets. You will never know until you try.
    Sorry for such a long post but this video reall resonated with me cuz I was just thinking about this - also I would totally listen to your podcast. There is a reason that people watch your videos ❤

    The life of a software engineer is going to meetings with scrum masters, project managers, business analysts, managers, directors, and VP's, where they all ask you how long will it take , why is it taking so long, and when will it be done. Then when you need something from them, they take many weeks because they're soooo busy. When they finally get back to you, the stopwatch starts and they want it done right away. Then you hit some security issue and have to make a ticket, and have a meeting with a DBA, DBA manager, your boss, and a security admin, where you have to explain to them in detail why you need access. They end up giving you just enough access to where a few days later you have to repeat the process and ask for more access. Then once again you have the first people I mentioned asking you why its taking so long.
