About:
Hey there! I'm a software engineer based in the (typical) Bay Area, where I spend my days coding, staying active, and indulging in way too much coffee. My coding journey started back in high school with AP Computer Science, and now I'm here to share my life and experiences with you. Join me as I navigate through my career and adulthood, and let's have some fun along the way! 🥰

Videos like these motivate me more and more to get a job in the field and i really like the tech field so much
The quality s chef s kiss
I'm glad that you mention stressed and overwhelmed, because that's the real SE day!
It doesn't have to be. Let's not normalize that
The discipline really helps, diet + productivity + awesome setup..
A plusss
woah this was the first video I came across and I'm impressed girl, thank you for motivating me
Thank YOU for your kind words 🤗 it really brightens my day 🥰🫶🏼
Love the day in the life of Mia Ngo. Also, you made me remember that I need to get an adequate dose of sun per/day because my Vitamin D levels were out of range (i.e. too low) during my previous blood work. I need to get my levels up prior to my next doctor's visit in July. Anyway, I like the fact that you have integrated exercise into your day because many people just don't do it. BTW, my favorite workout these days is the 12-3-30 treadmill exercise. Thanks so much for sharing, and please keep the videos coming.
Thank you~ I’m glad you enjoy watching it! 🤗 ahh I used to do a lot of 12-3-30 too - it is a great exercise!!! I’m doing it less often now only because it’s a bit more time consuming so I switched to doing Stairmaster instead 😋
It's great to see another video from you Mia! Sure you've been "MIA" but considering how much time and work your job entails, I think that's to be expected! Video quality has been getting better too. It's really awesome to see you grow video by video! I enjoy watching day in the life videos because it's cool to see how people with different lifestyles, occupations, and routines go about their days
Keep it up with the videos Mia and I hope all is well in the Bay. Cheers from Utah :)
My timestamp comments:
0:56 Props to you for getting up at 5:00 a.m.! I used to do that for quite some time but I prioritized getting more sleep in my schedule haha. Of course with being able to wake up early, you get more time in your day to do what you need/want to do.
1:08 Wild that you had a meeting for that long! I work at a company where we keep meetings no longer than one hour
3:33 Looks sweet! Nice upgrade
5:00 - 9:00 Very cool to see you show what kind of apps you use for your terminal and code setup. I'm kind of plain and jane in that I don't look much into these customizations haha (I guess other than having dark theme modes but that's barely scratching the surface); probably need to look into those as well
10:48 For me, I just eat whatever I pick out every time. I like getting a mix of the best ones at some times and the not so best ones at other times
11:10 Ayyyy, getting those greeeeens!
12:20 Awesome that you still hit the gym! I hit the gym as well but I do it first thing in the morning before clocking in to work! Everyone's different of course
13:19 I've heard many people are Vitamin D deficient so you're not alone. But it's also good you've been getting yourself out after being stuck inside all day!
14:26 Just got back from playing basketball as I was watching this part haha! Yes thanks for the reminder Mia, I try to go outside in the morning/early afternoon then relax the rest of the day
Haha thank you, Tony!! I appreciate your support since the very beginning 😆 and yup I agree, any meetings longer than 1 hour is not as productive, but it happens sometimes 🥹
Glad to hear from you again 🤗
You're amazing! 😄 I'm also a software engineer (Java, Python) and I think we have a lot in common, like going to the gym after work and even a vitamin D deficiency! 😅 You're doing a great job and thank you for this video! ☺
Thank you for your video. I just started learning HTML and CSS by signing up to this guy who puts out videos and I'm picking up the basic concepts. I'm learning the simple things and eventually learning more complicated things. I like it and I'm hoping to quit my regular job to do this as my main job.
I loved your keyboard ✨
wow i watched this video and expected to see 100k subs, great vid!
Hahaa thank you for the kind words 😆 but I just hit 1K subscribers today actually! 🥳🥰
great video! your keyboard is so thocky 😍
I'm new here, and I'm really inlove with ur videos.
I like your videos and your work as a software engineer.
Great video!
what keyboard are you using？
About the terminal, I recommend Warp, which provides many features with AI
So much inspiration. Currently learning Software Development as we speak through a cohort!
Just recently got the M3 MacBook Pro Space Black as well! Whoop whoop!
That is nice!! How do you like your new MacBook? Good luck with your cohort as well 😆🤞🏼
@@mia-archived I love it! I had my previous laptop for about seven years, so it was time for an upgrade!
I really enjoy ur keyboard, can you tell us what is this?
it's a nice video
btw, are you living in SF or working remotely? because I think you morning meeting is very early 😂
Oh my zsh is good but i like working on Warp terminal more now, not because of its look but it has some good built in functionalities like autosuggestion and syntax highlighting, also it has some AI functionality (i dont use that AI feature though)
Great video! Love these day-in-life.
Btw, what camera are you using?
Thank you, Marco 🤗 I’m using the Sony ZV-E10
Thanks!
Awesome productivity software video! Speaking of tools, Immersive Translate makes translating websites, PDFs, and videos a breeze. This Chinese-developed tool is free and versatile.
Nice video! Where can I get your wallpaper?
what is the software you using for testing, deploying (that table you got success) before you merge it in github
Thanks for sharing! Can you share details on your keyboard please? Thanks!
Of course! I’m using the Mode Sonnet keyboard with GMK Oblivion (Git Base) keycaps and Akko Creamy Yellow switches 🤗
I am interest your keyboard pls tell me kb model name.
Nice video ❤❤
Wow chị nói tiếng anh siêu đỉnh, ra nhiều video nói nhiều e luyện tiếng a nha c. 😊
Please give us link to your wallpaper
What is the name of the app you work on? What does it do?
from VN with love
Cám ơn ạ 🥰
hey mia , great vlog keep it up , can you tell what tech stack your work on .
Thank you! Sure, I’m using mainly Java & Ruby for the back-end and a bit of JS + React for the front-end 😊
@@mia-archived a good og tech stack , im currently learning node and react with tailwind , is there any chance i can have a chat or some small text with you for some tech helps and guide , coz i have been following u for like a long now , and you have close to a decade of exp in the tech industry , so is it possible, love from india take care :) and do upload frequently.
I have the M3 Air, anyone feel like it's sometimes janky? Like it stalls, for a few seconds but still. Just wondering
Amazing.
I noticed you using Jenkins
Thank you~ 🤗
Try Warp Terminal.
What is the name black keyboard please?
Cool vlog! Subbed :)
Thank you, Steven ☺️
Woo. I like your videos. Your videos are so professional
What’s your keycap set? I love it!
GMK oblivion git base
Yup, it’s the GMK CYL Oblivion V3.1 (Git Base). There is usually very limited stock unfortunately 😅
.I am interest your keyboard pls tell me kb model name
What's the keyboard?
Chị làm dev kiểu freelancer remote ạ😮😮😊
Is that Future Funk? More about the switches please,
It’s the GMK Oblivion (Git Base) actually 😊 the switches are Akko Creamy Yellow, but I’m considering switching to the Kang White
woww nice video, Helloo Mia. I am also a software engineer from Vietnam.
"Xin chào người anh em" hehe
waking up at 5:30 must be tough, especially if you are not a morning person
I totally get the feels of firing up an Intel MacBook and hearing the fan go full jet mode! Keep up the good work! 😄
I'm a software engineer in the Bay Area too. Let's connect! 😊
By the way, have you ever thought about trying a different mouse? 🖱
hi , just gettting started into college and my concers is that should i be going with WIndows or mac ! Linux coding shouldn't be a concern now as windows and mac has linux system integrated into them ! But the problem is sometimes my mind comes into gaming also and mac can't do that i am not a gamer to play games evryday i just want a laptop that fulfill my need accordng to every situation like if it's holiday then i can game when it working day i would prefer battery life more ? Which one should i choose ?
Anyone can answer this but the probelm is he/she should be cs graduated or SWE ! or anyone who knows which is best according to him or her ! plz give reasons also i can't settle my mind with mac or windows !
I think a Window machine would work better for you since you like playing games as well. Gaming is pretty limited on the MacBook
@@mia-archived buy i also wanted to learn swift and swift is only possible on mac !
Wow, mình thực sự nể phục những bạn nữ làm dev 💯
Mam quick question:
Is MacBook Air m1 8gb ram variant good enough for doing Java development and Android development?
It's not enough even for small Android projects, trust me. My M3 Pro 18 gb sometimes is showing orange memory pressure with one medium project, Android emulator running and some tabs in Safari. If I open 1 small project in Android Studio and Emulator it immediately eats 12 gb ram. I recommend 16 gb ram minimum for Android developement. With 8 gb you will get frequent lags and high SSD pressure due to swap (remember that SSD is not replacable). Previously I had MacBook Air m1 16 gb ram, it worked fine, but I need HDR screen to watch movies, thats why I got M3 Pro.
Beauty, Intelligent, a type of modern women. As an Vietnamese, i proud of you ❤
Thank you~ I appreciate it 🥰
try notion !!
its way better to handle to do list and other stuff
Are you Vietnamese?
which company are you working? why the meeting is so early?

Hello Mia, what keyboard are you using?
Hello~ I’m using the Mode Sonnet keyboard 🤗

MacBooks are so good but too expensive💔

Это прикольно даже очень
I come from Vietnam
Cố gắng sang đó làm cùng với các anh chị ạ

Are you frontend or backend developer? Getting up at 5 am is really self-disciplined.
I’m doing full-stack, but mainly back-end 😊
6am meetings? Nope!!
Are you a Vietnamese?
what kinda dev are you? Mind sharing your tech stack?
I’m doing full-stack 🤗 mainly Java, Ruby, Rails, and some JS + React
@@mia-archived Thats pretty amazing, I myself work mainly in frontend but with angular and occasionally use springboot on the backend side
good luck engineer

Yes, you heard correctly. Instead of cleaning the laptop fans, this software engineer bought a new laptop.
