Couldn't Fight To Save Your Life, But You Look So Cool


I have a new obsession. It's called "Crush" by Ethel Cain and although there are two version, I'm obsessed with the 'Stripped' version. It's so so beautiful. Such a beautiful song.

Back To Work 

I have finished my giant secret coding project, although it is hopefully a prelude to the real secret coding project which will be quite literally about 75x bigger if it comes through.

I want to code space. I like to code space. I like to code aliens. I want to work for NASA. Even though this is not really in line with the dream of renewable energy tech... it can all be a part of it right? Hopefully I get to work for NASA one day.

Back To Work... Again

Anyway where was I. I need to get back on top of all of my work with JavaScript and the DOM etc.

What this entails:
  • Finish off my CodePens
  • Do a quiz (will probably pair on this one)
  • Do a code along video - I'm dreading this - it's 20 minutes - might try and break it into 2 parts of 10
Luckily I wrote a blog post of all of the CodePens I need to do... Here it is.

My CodePens

Here is the first one... It is on tweaking an element.

Here is my second one from today - selecting and modifying elements. Yayyy I'm catching up!!! 

Codepen on removing elements.

And then the last new one to be written on Add Click Interactivity. 

Finalising Things

I have finished off the CodePen on creating an element.

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&
