Just randomly remembered Mayuko and searched her name up, her videos were an inspiration for me starting a second degree in Computer Science 2 years ago and I just graduated and am starting my job search soon, hope she is well :). Love the peaceful warm feelings of comfort her old videos provided me

[@krteldsanta1]

I wanna review her monitor, that's why I come back

[@david004alpha]

She was the first software developer I followed in youtube and She is an inspiration for me, I´m pretty sure We all miss her videos

[@ninevolt]

congrats! how did your job search end up going?

[@a_shuchu_601]

Watching your desk setups over the years is fascinating watching it mature into a very streamlined and cozy setup that you are very happy with 😊 Thank you for sharing!

[@MikaRaynen]

She is an iOS Engineer at Apple now.

[@kingsley6480]

I'm so glad to see you back. I have been looking for your recent desk setup from 2022. It's nice that you have uploaded the 2023 version.

[@harsha1670]

Where are you Mayuko?????!!!!!!!

[@HY-zy3xv]

Your video is always like a cure for my procrastination, motivating me to tidy up and get the work done🤣So glad to see you back!

[@rhkilis]

Great timing on this video! Three years into remote work, I've been thinking how I can make updates to suit my changing needs. That swipe pad on the Ergonofis desk looks so slick!

[@bennonyeokereke6087]

which site would you recommend to get remote SWE jobs

[@itskingshon]

It’s so great to see you back online, Mayuko!! Great setup!

[@kssb9050]

I actually can’t express how happy I am to see this, watching Makuyo’s vids never fail to make me feel refreshed and inspired ;-;

Wow, this video is so inspiring! As a fellow software engineer, I can totally relate to the struggles and triumphs that you've shared. But what really stands out to me is your passion and dedication to your craft. It's clear that you were meant to do this work, and your excitement is contagious!

[@mimino_codingbee4313]

Oh my god!! I missed your content so much girl!😭✨🥺Glad to see you back.❤

[@carl_thunder]

Thanks for sharing!! Much like you, I spend a lot of time at my desk being a sales engineer for a very large data center company so having a very functional, comfortable desk is an absolute must.

[@deanwilliams433]

Desk setup's are a very personal thing. Multiple monitors verses one or monitor orientation, chairs, desk, etc. Glad to see your take on it.

[@mikeymochii]

Thanks mayuko for posting a new desk setup! Nice reminder for me to consider refreshing some of my own desk and items for a nice change of pace too. I know it’s been a while, but we’re just happy to see you’re doing well!

[@dustintrinh8143]

Really happy to see a video from you! Hope the transition to the new job has been good and you’re happy!

[@uralrex]

Nice to see you back!

[@dan4pr]

Hi Mayuko! I’ve being working in DevOps for a while and it seems I’ve been stepping into this gray line in development but to automate deployment of system where apps are hosted/delivered instead of coding for the main app instead. I already wanted to become Software Engineer but I don’t have a computer science studies (although I’ve been working in telecommunications and tech industries for 20+ years). So I’m in this on-going journey of becoming a self-taught software developer and your videos have been encouraging me to keep going for software engineering. They have been very helpful giving me a better perspective about computer science, software engineering, and the like. Keep it up! I really appreciate your hardworking dedication! Thanks!

[@jonkoenig2478]

Nice blog post

[@matten_zero]

Quality over Quantity! Glad to see you back😊

[@haifaalya8551]

Welcome back mayuko! such a relieve to know that you're still making video!

[@mythslife8883]

Mayko you’re back! I missed you lot ❤️ My CS journey is boring without you. Big fan

[@janosmarta8258]

Hey, I bought logi mx master 3s after your 2022 setup tour, and I charmed by the wooden speakers now.😊

[@hnsss]

Its good to see you again

[@whybhav]

THIS NOTIFICATION MADE ME SO HAPPY!!!!! Welcome back Mayuko!

[@chris-hayes]

The mouse tip about binding mute is a good one, I have like 6 extra buttons on my mouse I've never touched. Had issues in the past with Logitech's GHub software for configuring your Logitech devices being a real dumpster fire, so maybe there's a way to do this without installing that.

[@rockywang4909]

So glad to see you again

[@dushesx]

I don't know why, but this video is very chilling and nice! Nice setup btw)

[@CheyziEdits]

great to see you again

[@biswnathmukherjee2050]

[@lfernandorg]

Hi Mayuko, long time no see, is good to see your vlog again!

[@shah_rukh_khan_SRK]

[@officegeeks]

Such a clean, cosy and inspiring setup! Where is your coiled cable from and what do you use it for? Thanks 😊

[@laughtale1181]

mayuko is back ! we love u

[@Steve-fw8er]

Wow welcome back I just discovered you yesterday and I was saddened to see you might have left the platform completely ! I'm so ready for some new content from you !

[@perezident14]

She’s alive! 🎉🙌

[@ACES033]

I recently jumped into a software role with a systems engineering background. Wondering if you have any tips to get the code base faster and more efficiently. and also how do you break down connections within a system, like figuring out how data flows through or what functions call another, etc.

[@shaheryaryousaf]

Seeing you after a long time on youtube 👏

[@audreyfocant]

Great video! Could you do a video for beginner web developers/beginner software engineers? I'm learning by myself and while theory is ok I'm really afraid of starting to practice my code for some reason.

[@seyji_revive]

I am a simple Support Software Engineer, I see Mayuko, I press like

[@schrodingerscat3912]

when Mayuko dropped that Day In The Life video, it blew my mind because I never imagined thats how nice a job could be. Now I'm doing the same thing and life is nice

[@ethansaki]

She's back!

[@rjarora5054]

Damn it's been 5 years since i discovered your channel. I was 17 and now I'm 22. Thanks for the great content as always :)

[@chasehelton5462]

You perfectly described the way that I view notebooks at 11:35! Totally relatable hahaha

[@robscherer]

The boss is back!!! Or maybe just still here haha. Since your first muji pen recommendation I haven't looked back, they are awesome!!

[@josuemolina6124]

Mayuko, I missed you!

[@Steve-fw8er]

In the last resume video you talked about needing to update your resume, would be great to see your current resume that got you this new job!

[@bepube77]

wow you're back!

[@amyassin]

The mouse button to mute/unmute tip is awesome.. I have the same mouse and the same problem :)

[@michaelstudies]

Great Video! A new day in the life would be interesting 😊

[@bittertea]

I know you're busy but it's nice to see you. Topics: -Volunteer/mentor opportunities for STEM. (Plus if it's for any underrepresented group. Personally interested in women in stem stuff also other groups. I know engineering in general has SHPE/NSBE but are there groups for tech?) -Tech do-goodery? Hackathon, start up, organization that is an intersection of tech + environmentalism, social issues. -Tech job/interview landscape post layoffs.

[@pinchedev6147]

I love Mayuko I love all the videos she makes and She is my idol... ❤❤❤

[@antonellamar]

One of my favs is baaaack! 🤩

[@ByteUp01]

Yooooooooooooo great to see you back online Mayuko

[@manuel.blanco]

You can buy a KVM and connect the USB bluetooh there instead, you can switch between the laptops with just a click on the KVM device

[@MrJ3]

Dang that’s a nice desk.

[@drewbird87]

[@niku0617]

Welcome back!

[@pieroa1909]

I love you Mayuko :)

What's the use case for each pair of Airpods?

[@Wavyblu760]

Hi, I was wondering if you had any updates on your book for software/IT positions in Japan? I'm really looking for information about that and I'd love to see your insights from your book! Thanks for all the helpful content!

[@hankim394]
