Do My Words Run Dry

I thought that my blog had been hacked! But it turns out that there was just some secret evil filter plugin on my MacBook - maybe from the previous owner or maybe someone at work had installed it as a prank or something. 

Either way - I'm glad it's over! I was scared that Susanna Codes was over. But not today!

This blog post title references 'Words' by Bayonne again. I love that song. 

I wasn't kidding when I said it was one of my favourite songs of all time, ever!

Btw I have been listening to a lot a lot of Halcyon and On and On by Orbital. I realise it was used at the ending of Mean Girls, one of my favourite movies of all time! This song has the ultimate Happy Ending vibes.

And right now I need my happy ending. 

Trust me right now where I feel that I'm at in my life right now - I feel like I need my happy ending. So long may it be! And let it be with Halcyon and On and On...

Iterator Methods

.some()

I have made a CodePen on the .some() method and it is about 'words'.


It is partly that which inspired me to name this blog post after one of my favourite songs.

.every() and .filter()

Although I have already covered .filter() lots, I have never covered .every() before.

Choosing the right Iterator

It said in my course that there are two methods that I have learned about that would return a boolean value. These are .some() and .every(). 

Iterators Project - Grammer Checker

A few little thoughts... 

I forgot the .filter() method and how it works in spite of having done it 3 times in different CodePens - I got it wrong!!! .filter() puts the words you DO want in a new array. It does not take out the words you DON'T want out of the old and existing arraay.

.filter() is like putting your array through a factory processing machine - it comes out with a new array of only the elements of the old array you DO want to keep.

I forced myself to draw this diagram out to learn from the fact that I initially got this . filter() method wrong.

I just wanted to share this beautiful diagram from the course...

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.

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&
