I was sent forth from the power I don’t have anything to say to anyone. Only I know how hard I have worked. Only I know what I overcame to get here. I don’t need to prove myself to anyone anymore. I have my own self-respect and that’s what matters  I know how hard I worked. I know how I picked myself up every time. We talk a lot about picking ourselves up but there are few who have picked themselves up (literally) as many times as me as such  I have nothing left to say. I have to keep focusing I have worked so hard to define a focus  And that’s it Now that’s it  That’s all I’ve got Let’s gooo

7 words to change your life forever The main reason I have stopped panic blogging is because my phone has stopped me from uploading photos to my blog post software update. I am okay with that - I am channeling my energy into the work But here’s a post I can’t resist writing - picture or no picture What is the best thing in the world?  The best thing in the world is my beautiful flatmate whom I mentioned a few posts back Coming back from Barcelona and bringing me a Starbucks mug back I love Starbucks I love Barcelona I love big giant mugs But what’s better still is her coming into the kitchen the other day and saying „You are strong. You can do this.” And if you don’t know What those words mean to me Then you will never understand  And that is okay too Thank you Photo added next day.

Understanding Locators in Vitest  I am doing really well. I am doing things a lot more independently. It is going really well. I am writing some tests write now. I am struggling to grasp get by role. One of my mentors sent me the vitest docs. I have a new rule about documentation from another mentor:  "When I encounter something new, the first port of call should be how the docs describe it and summarise it."  One more time:  " When I encounter something new, the first port of call should be how the docs describe it and summarise it." So I am being a good mentee.  So what on earth is a locator? A locator is "a representation of an element or a number of elements."  "Every locator is defined by a string called a selector." What? Huh? Huh? Huh? "Vitest abstracts this selector by providing convenient methods that generate them behind the scenes." I understand almost nothing  getByRole Right this is the one I want so let's focus on that...

There is an inextinguishable fire inside of me There is a fire inside of me that no one can turn off. And that scares some people. The truth is. My confidence comes from within. I don’t need other people to validate my passion I don’t even need other people to tell me I am good at something although it’s always nice and always helps. I have had people tell me I was in the wrong job for months (only for them to leave the job lol) and  It doesn’t matter what other people say to me because I know that I love my job I know that I am amazing at it I know that I have loads to give I know that I have masses to contribute to this industry I know that I am incredibly and uniquely passionate about what I do I know that I am immensely talented I am going to slightly spread out my tasks this week so that it doesn’t feel as rushed But if you haven’t seen what I am capable of yet Look closer  Look closer  You may be amazed what you will see  Thank you 

Writing Down the 6 Most Important Tasks for the Next Day Ah yes. Blogging at 2 am.  I had an exhausting two weeks and barely slept. Today I finally crashed and slept all day. Awesome but now I am awake at night. You may have noticed my second blog - www.susannalearnsreact.blogspot.com I wanted a place for all of my react notes as I am approaching it deeper now. I am also starting a new project to practice it - how on earth I will find the time for this I do not know - luckily I am quite efficient with my work. I can code very quickly. The challenge for me is not the coding and it never was.  It is understanding the instructions, the task and the brief. Luckily my tickets right now are amazing. And being in frontend saves me every time. If I can see the problem  I can fix it The Top 6 Tasks for Next Day This is a lifesaving thing. I need to do it at the end of every working day but I always forget  What are my top 6 for Monday? Read the accessibility docs I have timeb...

Vois sur ton chemin "FEEL AT THE HEART OF THE NIGHT - THE WAVE OF HOPE."  Saturday. Spain's first ever female ecstatic dance DJ is in Hove playing the craziest set I have ever heard in my life. I have been dancing for 3 hours. Intensely. I am so tired. Then a song I forgot ever existed comes on  The song of my childhood "Vois sur ton chemin." I sang the alto part in school (I am a soprano who can go low). The techno remix. Verbal reactions were banned on the dancefloor so I couldn't scream out my specific words of excitement but my body danced like crazy. It gave me the surge I needed and now I am reminded of my childhood The song means "focus on your path." Focus on your path  Focus on your path Get tickets from one side of the board to the other  Get your code live into production  GET YOUR CODE LIVE INTO PRODUCTION  Get users using your code GET USERS USING YOUR CODE It was a mistake to think that I was ever hired for anything else. But it's...
