I'm quite a bit older than you and I have many years in software development, but I find this video extremely informative and helpful.

Most day in a life videos are mostly show off, this video very helpful.

these kinds of videos really give me some confidence. majority of my days pass in confusion. I am still struggling to have order in my life. I started to code in December, whenever I feel down I watch some of your videos to get some guidance. thank you mam

Thank you for sharing all the personal info! You are a very brave and inspiring person. As a retired developer having spent 43+ years in IT (I'm 63), I truly enjoy and learn from your videos. Keeping up to date with your trade is especially time consuming in software development. And when you retire you can do it for fun! :) Cheers, Dan

Thank you for this fantastic video, the from-the-heart advice on the day-in-the-life of a developer, and your insightful approach on how to plan, chunk your day, organize your actions and so forth, it's valuable and appreciated. I'm trying to control the learn-about-this-and-that that creeps into my professional life, and I always think "this will be nice to learn, oh, what about that over there, oh I'll note to come back to it and other thing" and before I know it, I have a whole bunch of things I'm interested in learning, but have managed to learn little bit about each of them, I need to control that in order to increase my focus.

Thank you, Zeze! Focus & productivity is something I also work on constantly, but having a set routine has definitely helped me a lot :)

Hi! Just found this video. I’m actually in need of advice. I have a website portfolio with full e-commerce projects, google maps project that tells you where to find restaurants and blogs using React, Python Figma to code as well. Do you think I have enough projects or should I need another one? I’m asking because I’m looking for a job. I have about 5 years of exp. doing internships, working contract jobs, and helping my college where I graduated on clubs. But it’s been always because one organization or someone knew me. Please let me know, I’d appreciate it so much.

I think the projects you listed are plenty; It's just a matter of having the best quality projects with good documentation, testing, etc. I always scrub through people's open source code before interviews to look for those things.
