The Aeropress is freakin’ *awesome*! It does use a ton of coffee to make a cup, but the flavor is just extraordinary. It makes the BEST brewed coffee of anything else I’ve ever tried!

[@Beastiebubs]

Mayuko's videos are great because they are so informational and helpful to aspiring coders and people wanting to get into tech. Many people of color, (let alone women of color,) are underrepresented in the tech industry, so it's great to see minorities being represented on youtube, and spreading their knowledge to younger viewers. Mayuko's such a great content creator and I'm kinda surprised that she isn't more popular. (I hope that isn't taken as an insult) Anyways, happy holidays, and if you don't celebrate any holidays, have a great December!

[@marensvare507]

Actual awesome gift ideas for adults 😂. Blue light glasses are life , and thanks for the reminder about propagating plants!

[@RyanPhung725]

love the hoodie!! looks so clean

[@wranther]

Awesome way to start the Holiday Season Mayuko! Great to see you speaking of your plants and plant care too. Sweet touch with your lighted Christmas tree. Happy Holidays! -Bob...

[@shiolei]

Really enjoyed the plant recos!

[@stanleymiller1181]

+1 on the Felix glasses. Best investment I’ve ever made.

[@bkpaf21]

Those vessi shoes sound really good!

[@Julie-po7uk]

These reccs are so great! I'd love to see a part two of 2022 favorites as well :)

[@KPKasumiP]

Ohh thanks for this I needed it !

[@bhuvnishah6838]

Hi Mayuko!! I also love stabilo pens and I’m definitely going to try out those notebooks! I was wondering if you could share the names of the colors and nail polishes on your nails - they look so good and match your merch super well!

[@dessertdays]

Love these recs! Now I want them for myself LOL Unrelated to the video but where are your wall art prints from?

[@normallab8932]

Defiantly just getting plants. (I'm cheap. btw nice vid :D )

[@sarahlibovmusic]

I love the pen holder/pen cup that you have! Where is it from?

[@sanderso373]

some TechLead vibes from that coffe part xd

[@joohu]

Your editing keeps getting better and better, happy holidays!

[@Aurora-zr3cp]

Great video, but I wanted to ask where did you get your hoodie? It looks so comfy! 🥰☃️

[@hellomayuko]

Hoodie is from my merch store!

[@sintetico82]

OT about this video: Mayuko can you make a video to explain how to sell customized clothes/items like your brand "code;"? Or in general "passive incoming" stuff like this as software engineering.

[@DemetriPanici]

Everyone can step up their gift game this year. Happy holidays everyone

[@darryla7482]

I got a pair of the Felix Gray glasses. Bummed I’m watching the video after 12/02. Ask them to extend the code!

[@mvicini01]

A weapon 😆

[@chrisleon27]

Greetings from China

[@user-bs1cp1fo9w]

Hi~

[@stephenleemartinez]

Ooooh, James Hoffman! I love watching his channel. It’s almost like coffee ASMR 🤣. I ended up getting into Moka Pots and then espresso (Flair Pro 2) after watching his vids. I think these coffee tools and gadgets really do appeal to an engineer’s mindset. Anyhow, as always love your videos and your real life approach.

[@Searching4DMT]

😁

[@stephenliao450]

Whats up mayuko

[@tungvu7487]

Hello, any comment on Khoa Pug drama??

[@mudbrainxyz]

James Hoffmann is an excellent weird coffee KZbinr. Best to learn how to do proper pour-over too!

[@pIayingwithmahwii]

algorithm god

[@melvinpatomendoza]

What is your nickname? I just wonder.

[@nemonymous89]

Please consider LARQ for next year's video.

[@orwillito]

Wait WHITE ELEPHANT???? haha

[@tokyowiz]

Hi, can u also talk about to how found a full remote job as a developer ? Plss

[@austinbaccus]

I don't think there's "one simple trick" for that, because ~70% of all SDE job listings are remote right now. Thankfully all you need to do to get a remote job is to just apply as usual.

[@ML-fm8nn]

My favorite gift= a girlfriend who likes computer science.

[@abui6914]

Awesome! This is a "Perfect gift for your programmer girlfriend" in the nutshell. Now I find something good as a gift, the last thing I needed to find is the "Programmer Girlfriend" itself.
