Search your heart, search your soul, and when you find me there, you'll search no more

"Search your heart, search your soul, and when you find me there, you'll search no more". - Brian Adams

I fell in love with this song while I was away on my meditation retreat but really I have always loved it anyway.

This song speaks volumes to me about my passion, and my love for what I do. 

"You can't tell me it's not worth trying for"

Reflecting on two of the strengths and potentials of digital software solutions in hydropower 🌊🌊

Monitoring equipment using sensors

One thing you can do with software engineering in hydropower is to monitor equipment using sensors. 

This can be done in real time and I guess it can be done remotely too then. Obviously. Software integrated with sensors can monitor vibration, temperature and pressure in a hydropower plant. If the software can promptly process incoming data, then it can provide instant real-time insights into the condition of the equipment. Therefore, it can tell us whether the equipment needs fixing or not. In a nutshell, software can be used for the real-time monitoring of hydropower equipment, letting us know if it is doing okay.

Predictive Maintenance

Software can be empowered with advanced algorithms. 

This software can analyse both historic and real-time sensor data. 

It predicts potential machinery failures by identifying patterns that precede breakdowns.

Basically the software can predict whether or not, or when, a machine is going to fail and this is done by looking at similar patterns in the hardware before, when it has failed, and then making its predictions based off of that. This is "predictive analysis of maintenance needs." This allows for action.

So it's about real-time monitoring and predictive insights. Wow, really. Wow.

I can't help it, there's nothing I want more

Than to keep on reading this Digiteum article.

Tomorrow/Monday/next time I will look at their actual predictions for software development needs in hydropower and marine energy. I CAN'T WAIT!!!

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&
