Hi Jenny, i would like to see more technical side of your work life. Maybe like what you usually discuss in your 1:1 or how your stand-up goes on. I mainly suck at communication and usually wonder how others do it so effortlessly. Thank you and love you videos ❤

[happy]

I love how Howl is sitting like a loaf of bread around 7:30 🥺

[anushmadubey]

I'd love to see how you keep your tech knowledge updated alongside work! Or any tips you might have to build on knowledge whilst working

[nickstrands]

Always a pleasure watching your vlogs Jenn! Hope you're doing well!

[jpoo]

just wanted to say that I appreciate your videos as a fellow asian woman in CS! <33

Hi Jenn! :) I really enjoy your "routine" side of your viddeos and how you manage to keep up with everything such as social life, pilates/lagree and mental health. Thank you for the nice videos :)

[sharpayyevanss]

I honestly really enjoy watching your day in life or week in life videos ❤❤

[koniabdu]

hi Jenn i am a software engineer student and it would be super helpful if you tell us the the career path you took and other tech related contents. ily

[Nicole-ljwd]

Unit tests definitely take the most chunk of my time when working on a feature or implementation, I feel you!!

[caly]

I really love your setup & I feel like the surrounding wall would be perfect for a studio ghibli art poster or something similar for that extra cozy vibe :3 like the lo-fi girl :D

[labresnat]

I would love to know how you started in tech, what your trajectory was like in a big tech company, and any advice you have for women who want to work in tech <3 love your vlogs

[joonhaunited]

love you and howl so much ❤ love to see any content you put out, it's so relaxing and grounding.

[chiomauche]

thank you for constantly uploading!🪽🤍

your channel is a safe space for me because this month makes it the first year I've been working as a software engineer(backend) and its been remote all the way. 🌬

for video requests/questions you can answer in a qxa:

⁕ how do you ensure you have a stable social life?
⁕ does the routine ever feel monotonous?
⁕ how long does it take you to reach out for help when you're super stuck on something
⁕ how do you step away from the desk once your work hours are over?
⁕ how do you grow as a software engineer outside of work? do you have side projects yu are currently woking on?

thank you; have an amazing day!
.xoxo.. Chioma

Just started watching Pachinko on Apple TV+ and the cinematography and writing is utterly brilliant. 🎉

Howl has to be one of the calmest and well-behaved cat I have seen

[Jessalyn]

Hi, I just love your videos. I find them so relaxing even though your remote days look pretty much like mine. I also love watching you go into the office too as I don't get to experience that often. I am new to the software industry and work for a small software company focusing mostly on software configurations. I used to be a teacher so this has been a pretty big transition. Do you have any tips for dressing for the office (not too dressy but not too cas) or even favorite clothes for remote days? Anything on bettering communication when remote including headphone/microphone set up- are you using the Sony XM5 for zoom meetings? What do you think? Are you using the mic or an external one? Sorry to hear you've had a hard week. I hope it all gets better soon. 💜

Hi Jenn happy Wednesday afternoon to you and I enjoy your channel and you are amazing supporter

[niel.h]

Been subscribed to your channel for a year, keep it real and love the content!

Yo jenn long time no see. Thanks for asking for suggestion at the end of video - Would you be able to share a bit about soft skills when working with western and Asian colleagues? Thanksss :)

[brebree]

Hi There! I don't think I've commented before on your videos but I definitely like this style I like how short they are and I also want to learn more about what your work is like! I am currently going through a MS of Business Analytics program and am looking forward to graduating in May but definitely interested to see how that type of career would be different than what I am used to!
