Down By The Lakes

"Bold was the waitress on our three year trip getting lunch down by the lakes/ She said I looked like an American Singer" - Taylor Swift, Invisible String

Invisible String was one of my favourite lockdown songs. 

The whole of Folklore was just incredible.

It sounds like the forest where I am from. It sounds like the forest that I just grew up in. It sounds incredible, I mean just incredible.



CodePens

Here is a CodePen on mouse events:


And here is a CodePen on keyboard events:


That's it for now, but I look forward to continuing to build my Piano Keys event listener project tomorrow.

Event Listeners

Keyboard Events

"Keyboard events can have unique properties assigned to their event objects like the .key property that stores the values of the key pressed by the user."

We did it for the Right Reasons

And all of a sudden I remember everything.

I remember how I wanted it so so badly.

There was nothing I wanted more in the world than to be an engineer. I repeat: there is nothing I wanted more in the world than to be an engineer. 

I will repeat one more time: nothing I wanted more more more in the whole whole whole whole wide world than to be an engineer.

And suddenly I remember how much I wanted it. And how badly I wanted it.

And how I am so so lucky to be fulfilling this dream.

How I am so so so lucky and so so so happy to be fulfilling this dream.

I REMEMBER NOW

I CAN REMEMBER IT NOW

I REMEMBER EVERYTHING

I REMEMBER EVERYTHING. 

I CAN REMEMBER EVERYTHING.

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&
