In this video, I'll take you on a tour of my meticulously crafted a mindful work from home office and minimalist productivity desk setup that I've been perfecting over the years as a software engineer and RU-vid creator. I'll also share some stunning Grovemade accessories that add a touch of elegance and functionality to my workspace.
But it's not just about the desk and tech - this video is also a reflection on the impact of aesthetics and colors on our mental well-being. After experiencing a lighter, more peaceful atmosphere in my Adobe office, I decided to transform my home office from a cool man cave to a serene sanctuary with brighter colors and minimal clutter. I'll reveal how I incorporated acoustic panels, curtains, and a cozy reading nook to create a space that positively influences my mood, productivity, and overall happiness. So join me in exploring my ultimate home office setup and learn how you can enhance your own workspace for better well-being.

Yo I have the bell icon since forever and I have not been notified about any of your new videos in past 2 weeks.

@jamescross Год назад

Might be youtube. My wife has said a similar thing. Thanks for letting me know!

Can you review: 1) both of Microsofts Power Platform developer and Azure developer qualifications? 2) the freecodecamp/Microsoft C# certificate 3) The Helsinki University MOOC Python Course? 4) Helsinki University's Full Stack Open (web development course)

I’m a cs student looking to get a monitor to use with my m1 MacBook Pro. Do you recommend the lg monitor that you’re using ? I don’t game at all and will be using mainly for coding and school purposes. Any suggestion ?

@user-us7hq6xf9o Год назад

What’s the cheapest MacBook for coding would youb recommend?

Hey! So I think I've watched nearly all of your public videos at this point(and some not that were linked in endcards). I'm coming from a similar construction background that you did and I was wondering since you did not go to college for this stuff either, what exactly did you do step by step to learn this stuff on your own? Did you go through any courses? I.e. bootcamps, udemy courses, etc? Or did you just create your own roadmap(giant list of stuff to learn) and go from there? I've been using your videos along with others to create my own list but I feel like it's either becoming too convoluted or not extensive Enough..but I'm not really sure. Thanks!

There are a ton more resources now. I kinded pieced it together from different books to try to figure out how to build stuff I wanted to build. I eventually came across a site called egghead.io that had some good short videos on angular and talked to people at meetups to learn what areas to focus most attention on. There are now a ton of different tutorials and courses to help now. It is challenging sorting through all the options. I would not try to tackle it all at once. For frontend, focus on learning the common javascript patterns and functions. If you want to build web applications, pick a single framework or library like react, angular, etc. and go down the route of learning a single stack pretty well. Later on you can then branch out more and learn some other stuff. If you try to learn it all, you will probably fail or take longer to learn solid skills. Best wishes.

@@jamescross if I could like this a million times i would! Thank you so much James! I'm saving this info in my "giant list".. which is mostly stuff you've said lol I may try following along eith tutorials of others building stuff because the process and structure of building is where I'm getting confused at the moment. But yes! I'm taking this to heart. Thanks for responding, it means a lot 🙏🏻

Hi James I am about 3 weeks into my journey I don’t know if you would be interested but I’d be happy to participate in a 0-hero programmers journey type docu series. I am currently focused on front end web development I’ve touched on HTML CSS and currently struggling to understand JavaScript 😂

No videos in a while. Where ya been?

@velohench Год назад

I always thought the old aesthetic was cool, but was super dark and heavy. Which would be great in a dedicated man cave... I thought your office was in a windowless room in a basement because of how dark it was. This is a huge improvement in terms of serving as a functional/productive space with a comfortable feel.

@jamescross Год назад

heavy is a great word for describing it. thanks for your thoughts.

@jirikocman Год назад

I really like your setup change from dark to white. I can imagine to work at that environment. Sadly I have no spare room to make my home office place. I have just desk in small living room.

thanks

@justinyadao744 Год назад

gotta say… i also do not like the max master scrolling so i got an external magic trackpad…. then i realized now i got two things on my desk instead of just having an all in one and really learning claw grip with the magic mouse is not that bad

@Adam-eats Год назад

Very nice setup. Would love to see how you have your Mac and VSCode set up for development

@shikhanath5804 Год назад

Loving your videos super informative and helpful! I am still struggling to understand, do you think the front end will still be a good career for the next 10-20 years for someone starting this time given all the technology changes and AI revolution?
