Just Hold On, We're Going Home

I have fallen in love with a song. It's called Hold On, We're Going Home and it's by Drake ft. Majid Jordan.

But it's the Nick Mulvey version that I'm obsessed with. 

It's got to be the Nick Mulvey version, I'm afraid.

This song just gives me such a great big feeling of safety. 

It really does make me feel like I'm safe and it's all over. I really do get the feeling of being brought home and of being taken care of and of being cared for by someone while listening to this song.

It's beautiful. It's just beautiful.

I can't wait to listen to more of it.

P.S. I have recently rediscovered one of my old favourite songs, Radioactive by Imagine Dragons, and I definitely need to name my next blog post after that. If I don't name my next blog post Radioactive, then I am in Big Trouble with myself. And please tell me off. But I will name it Radioactive.

Loops

My boss and I decided that it was okay (and necessary and/or important) for me to revise loops. 

This was because I didn't have his very very wonderful and amazing technique of putting things on CodePen and /* COMMENTING OUT WHAT THEY DO */ which saved me and saved my coding journey and changed how I process things and CHANGED EVERYTHING!!! 

So we've agreed for me to take a couple of days to do this!

For Loops


I know really understand them really - I think - and I understand how they have three expressions. 

The diagram in my CodePen is really good. I had wanted to make my own but this one is so good, that I don't really feel like I need to...


This one will output logging 'Susanna is so awesome' to the console 100 times.

Looping In Reverse

Nice and simple - just like the above but backwards.


Now here I did something different - I mixed it up a bit. I put a for loop inside of a function body.

It's about a rocket ship!!! 


.reduce()

Wow, I UNDERSTOOD THE .REDUCE() METHOD TODAY!

Thank you so much to my wonderful mentor Chung for going through this with me. 


(I wanted to use some extreme numbers and maths).

And finally here's the Codecademy example.

It feels so good to have moved on!!! 🤗

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&
