Work From Home Desk Setup of a 👩🏻‍💻Software Engineer & 🎨 Designer (Warm and Cozy 🍯)

[@maisyleigh]

Thanks for all the love on this video 💓 Follow me on Instagram bit.ly/2UwNuKY to stay updated on my future videos and to get to know me more ☺️ For those curious about my mechanical keyboard, I made a video dedicated to how I build one from scratch (keyboard details included) --> bit.ly/3jMCy6c

hi maisy what a stunning clean and beautiful setup, actually what kind of software do you write? mobile front end? and what programming language ? thank you maisy

[@maisyleigh]

@@whyimustusemyrealname3801 hi! I’ll touch on these topics more in depth in a future video :) but to answer your question, I work on the frontend of web apps and most recently mobile/tablet apps. I code in React; and recently picking up flutter!

Hi what subject did you take in highschool if any of you guys would respond I would really appreciate it

[@Beast80001]

@@lapis722 hey I'm not either one of them but I am a university student in computer science. I took a computer class in high school that really got me into coding where we learned visual basic(which is not what I would reccomend you learn). If your school has it, take a coding or graphic design or any computer class it offers even digital literacy. Any skills you learn can be used on a resume. As for programming languages, I would reccomend you start with html and css. They are markup languages that are very easy to learn in just a couple weeks. There are plenty of skillshare courses and youtube videos or books if you prefer. From there I would reccomend javascript. With these three languages, you can do a lot of things including front end and back end development and javascript might be the fastest growing language for new jobs. Also Js can run on any computer because it doesn't need a compiler, so all you really need is a web browser, but personally i would reccomend either an ide or something like that.

High five to another woman in tech! I also work in software engineering. I am in awe that you do both design and engineering?? That’s amazing! Your setup looks so cozy and cute! Definitely inspired to improve my work setup (my desk is totally cluttered with notebooks, test devices and random other stuff right now T_T).

[@MariaLuiza-oq7le]

I loved this video so much!! I'm also a front end developer working with React and I love this cutesy and plant based aesthetic. I think it's so important that the world starts seeing that developers are not only men coding in the dark in hoodies. It's so powerful to be a feminine woman in code and I'm glad that I'm not alone!

[@maisyleigh]

aww thank you so much for watching and I’m so happy you liked it! 🌷💕 haha exactly, we are not all men coding in their basements 😉. front end is an art and we need more creative people like us in the field!
