Candles

Candles, by John Hopkins, is a song from my beloved Coding Mode playlist on Spotify. It is from the soundtrack of the 90's sci-fi TV show Monsters. The album artwork is a bit scary so have a beautiful picture that I found representing 'big numbers' instead. The song is really beautiful though and is what made me fall in love with this playlist straight away initially.

Coding Mode

Remember that list of CodePens I made yesterday? Yeah, I wasn't actually done. So since I wanted it amalgamated in one place all together then I'm going to copy and paste all of the relevant bits over from yesterday, and then add more. (It's my blog... I can do what I want on it). Here:

.forEach() and Anonymous Functions 

No.1: Array of Teas

No.2: Array of Fruits 


This was just a little quick exercise I did in Codecademy. 

.map()

No.1 Animals and Secret Message

No. 2 Big Numbers and Small Numbers

.filter()

Okay gonna go into a bit more detail here because from here it is all new, and was not posted yesterday already. Thank you! Thanks for bearing with me!

No.1 - .filter() on Numbers

Numbers Under 250 Array on CodePen

This one was a pretty hard one to break down. Because this is a pretty tough one I put in quite a long explanation. It is really helpful though. 

I am so grateful to my manager for helping me to find this amazing method for understanding how code works - thank you!!

No.2 - .filter() on Words

Favourite Words List Array (incl. Esoteric)

Not my favourite words per se! Just ones that were given to me by Codecademy. 

(I just really do like the word esoteric though - which is why I highlighted it above 😂🔮🔮🔮🔮🔮)

.findIndex()

This is a good little one and I really liked it! I especially liked how if no element satisfies the condition of the callback function then it will return an index of -1. NOW THIS IS THE CRAZY SUPER COOL CODING STUFF THAT I SIGNED UP FOR. 💚💜💚💜💚💜💚💜💚💜💙

No. 1 - .findIndex() on a specific string

Find the (Pink) Elephant in the Array! (I made the pink bit up myself). 

This one just uses indexing - and a conditional statement outside of curly braces which is so cool, lol - to match an item to a string, and to find it on an array, and to deliver its index. (Starting as always with 0).

No. 2 - .findIndex() to find the first letter of a string

Find the letter S (like S for Susanna 😌😌)

This one treats a string like an array.

Hello World

 Hello from Susanna Codes! Hi everyone,  My name is Susanna and I'm a 28-year-old aspiring software engineer from Brighton! As I type this, listening to music from "Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amelie Poulain" (it reminds me of home, in Luxembourg, where I am from - I'm missing home quite a lot lately!) and look forward to some Irish Cream tea in my afternoon break, I am thinking: How lucky I am that my amazing colleague Rosana helped me out with a plan for my software engineer journey (she directed me to the front-end first). How HTML and CSS would not have been my first languages of choice had I not been guided in this direction, as in my head they were seen as 'less-serious' langages. How done I am with what other people think of me and if other people see the 'front-end' as softer then so be it! Everyone has to start somewhere. I am so grateful to be on this journey, with Codecademy's Front-End Engineer Career Path.  Thank you to Async Brighton as

Yosemite

Yosemite I'll never forget the first time I head the song Yosemite by Lana del Rey. I very nearly clicked away.  It was quite near the start of my Software Engineering journey, right near when I start learning the Front-End/Web Development. I was listening to Arcadia by LDR before, maybe twice, and then Blue Banisters came on. I nearly clicked away in the first 30 seconds but I forced myself to keep listening anyway.  I'll never forget how that song has made me feel. It became my song of 2022 even though I only discovered it in November. I can still listen to it every day and get that complete sense of wonder and of awe that I felt the first time that I heard it. That ending of the song is completely amazing, and it just completely just blows me away every time. "Withstanding all the time, changes, and seasons..." - LDR Concise Body Arrow Functions Why am I so bad at arrow functions? Whyyyyyyyyyyy?  Just kidding, I am beginning to get them. But why are they so hard? &

Two Lines of Thought, Makes Me Wonder What I'm Missing

Two Lines of Thought, Makes Me Wonder What I'm Missing "Lines of Bamboo, See What You Do To Me..." Bamboo by Elder Island is one of my ultimate 'becoming a Software Engineer songs'. (I prefer the original, but here is a great live version. ) There's a story behind this. I met a man named Mark. He was an SWE approaching retirement - he was down in my hometown with his wife, visiting. I won't go into the context of how we met, but it was a miracle. It was a complete miracle. It was just meant to be. We chatted for at least two hours and at the end of the conversation he said to me "All the best of luck with your new career". I couldn't believe what he'd just said - I hadn't even committed to it yet! A few weeks later, I did, though. After I walked out of that cafe where I had been sitting and talking to Mark and his wife though, I felt like - even though I didn't "feel ready" yet - Mark had predicted something that I didn&
