  • Are you wondering what is like a day in the life of a software engineer mom, well then you are in the correct place! In this video, I share a simple day in a software developer mom. Obviously, there are no 2 days that look and feel the same and that is why this is a simple day of a software developer since this particular day was really basic. We, programmers, have different workdays and we should have multiple video versions of "day in the life of a software developer" since there are days where we are drinking from a fire hose and days when we have the freedom to do as we please.
    This video is a realistic day of a software developer, in this video, you will not see a standup since I am a team of 1 in the project am working at the moment same is true for meetings, this day was 100% meeting free with the exception of a few phone calls with the customers and colleagues for some last-minute questions.
    Disclaimer: Please take this video with a grain of salt since no 2 days alike nor 2 jobs will be the same. As I mentioned this is a simple version of a low-pressure workday, which might happen once every few months.
    I am a full-time software engineer and a mom of a girl under 2. I love software engineering and I love being a mom and that is why I start my day pretty early so I can do both as much as I can.
    Thank you for watching!!!

    This has been THE MUST ACCURATE video of this kind, showing one person that wakes up early to have enough time to complete everything. Facing the duties of a house. That verify the emails looking for urgencies during the absence, code and having meetings is what normally a Software Engineer does. That is called being productive at work not like some others that are messing around just eating and playing and after 5 hours at work, just spend 3 being really productive. you just gain a SUB.

      Hi Kerena, it is so great to hear that you are interested in getting into the tech industry. The past doesn’t matter as much, as long you are dedicated , curious, creative and determined to solve the task on hand. I got into tech many years before I became a parent. There are many ways to get into tech, the path you will go with it depends on your current situation and accommodations you can do. I hope this makes sense. I will be happy to assist and provide any guidance i can, just reach out. Have a great weekend !

      Kids require a lot attention and energy. Having 2 kids and taking care of them it is not as easy as it might seem. Just take one day at the time and try to find time for you and what you like, if possible. When time is right you will be able to get back to software engineering if that is what you want. I am sure that your are an amazing person and parent. Best wishes.
