Waaaaaaaaah😍🥹 i don’t know why but i feel inspired from watching your videos. It’s been my long dream to take up comsci but i ddin’t push it. I’ve seen comsci and DS vids every year. But this one made me feel inspired. I love how genuine you are in sharing about your tech career without dropping topics about money. You earned my respect and i definitely hope to see more of your vlogs. I’ll check your web some other time in my free days. Thank you so much for such a content. PS: i don’t usually leave comments on any comsci or tech vids. My joy is overflowing and I’m excited to see more in your page. ❤

[@MagdelineHuang]

Awwww thank you so much for your heartwarming comment! It really made my day 🥹 All the best with your journey~ You got this!!!

[@MagdelineHuang]

Hello! I answered your question in my latest KZbin video 😄 kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3Owl2WlZ7KJesk

Magdeline I want to move to New Zealand & have a CS background any way I can get in touch?

Amazing video! You mentioned that you did a bit of learning regarding Javascript, Typescript and GraphyQL. Do you have any recommendation on any courses or how to approach learning these languages?

[@lay3437]

I study computer science here in Brazil and also only see python, c++ and java. Do you have a recommendation where to study front end? I'm having trouble getting an internship because the focus of the university is far from the reality of the market

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll keep that in mind :)

[@RaviKumar-o5h6f]

Perfect ✨

[@flyernaruto]

Hi Magdeline, thank you for sharing. I work majorly on frontend side, with little backend experience. I see many jobs in NZ required both frontend and backend skills. Do I suit for these full-stack job?

[@MagdelineHuang]

Hmm if you want to apply for full-stack jobs, I think it's best if you can brush up on your backend skills so you can stand a better chance! Good luck :)

[@flyernaruto]

@@MagdelineHuang got it, thank you

[@guiimeris]

Hello how are you? Congratulations on the video, I'm from Brazil and I work in Information Security. I would like to know what your day-to-day life is like with the projects there, and how you deal with security controls on the front-end and back-end. Do you have a security team that supports you?

[@dragoneer121]

How big is the team? I did my first year of experience in software development and it was a 2 person team. How often do you complete tasks too? its interesting seeing someone doing so well in a similar situation to what I was in

[@MagdelineHuang]

Hello! My team is around 4 - 5 ppl, but the entire Engineering department is around 30 people. In terms of tasks, the features are broken down into sprints and tickets. How long it takes to complete a ticket depends on the ticket itself. Thanks for your nice comment! We're all on this journey together 😄

[@zarifatima3117]

[@Niberspace]

Have you considered a career as a comedian?

[@alcampbell]

@@Niberspace hey, you`re alive. I cant tell tell you how many people want to kick my ass for making wise ass comments. LOL. Back in 1979 I got my first computers like the Timex sinclair and apple IIE and I started writing code in basic and later on in C and C++. I should have kept up with the coding and become a big shot like you, instead of having to work in a circuit board factory all day.

[@Niberspace]

@@alcampbell hmm how did you know I was a coder? well.. I guess from the subject of the video maybe

[@alcampbell]

@@Niberspace Well Maggie, I assumed that all "Software Engineers" Have to learn to code to get their degrees. Unless I`m mistaken as usual. Hey we`re communicating here, what the heck.

[@shivinunitholi2493]

I really do not understand what is the purpose of these "A day in the life of a..." videos. I mean what's the content creator looking for in such videos? To educate anything at all or just to show flaunt that lifestyle and get likes from kids who call themselves "aspiring engineers"

[@MagdelineHuang]

I really love watching "Day in my life" videos tbh! I make these to document and share my journey, with the hopes of maybe inspiring others too :)
