Look How I Got This, Look How I Got This

from Lana del Rey, White Dress

I feel really sad today and I don't know why. 

I think it's because I'm so tired. We did a day in London of meetings yesterday. I got up at 5 am and got home at 1 am. It was a lot for me. Tiredness can definitely play with my emotions. 

Having said that I had a lovely and wonderful catch-up with a mentor today and I feel so new and refreshed. She really managed to refresh me and inspire me. I am so so grateful for this! I am so grateful for her and all the new techniques she brings to me and to my learning.

I really honestly don't know what I would have done without her!! 🤗

White Dress

White Dress by Lana del Rey is one of the softest and gentlest songs that I have ever heard. In the beginning I could barely even listen to it because it was so soft and so gentle. I almost found it too much. But then I finally let it in. Like all of the good things in life, I finally let it in. I am obsessed with that whole album Chemtrails Over The Country Club. 

It has my favourite song ever Yosemite on it and I love it so much. It's so soft and so gentle. The thing that we most need to make time for in this life and in this world imo. 

Softness and gentleness.

Often the thing that we most feel like we don't have time for is the thing that we need to make time and make space for.

THE SCRIPT ELEMENT

General stuff

"Web programmers use JavaScript to make web pages dynamic and interactive".

"Frankly, without the <script> tag, websites would be unclickable and a bit boring."

Sequential scripts

"The HTML parser does not process the next element in the HTML file until it loads and executes the <script>  element, thus leading to a delay in load time and resulting in a poor user experience.

Additionally, scripts are loaded sequentially, so if one script depends on another script, they should be placed in that very order inside the HTML file".

Defer attribute

***

"The defer attribute specifies scripts should be executed after the HTML file is completely parsed".

***

"When is defer useful?

When a script contains functionality that requires interaction with the DOM, the defer attribute is the way to go. 

This way, it ensures that the entire HTML file has been parsed before the script is executed". 

I CREATED SOME CODEPENS

The one one the <script> tag:

The one on the src attribute and using it to link a JS file to an HTML file:

And another one here on the importance of placing scripts in the right order:
there we go

More on the defer attribute tomorrow or the day after!

Including a CodePen and when it should be used!!!

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&
