Daniel by Bat For Lashes came on and I had to write a blog post just to pay tribute to that song.

I still want to include a picture of Yosemite though.

My nice, neat, and organised to-do list, for my blog

I just wrote up a huge piece of my research for work. I am still waiting to see whether it will be used or not, but I remain hopeful. It was a huge piece of work. I feel like I need a tiny bit of a break after that. But I cannot just give up on my research. 

I cannot just give up on my research.

Okay so where is it then

Okay. Here. Now.
  1. I need to finish watching that video from Friday's blog post on Renewable Energy and AI. I have about 2.5-3 minutes left. I doubt I'll take any more notes. I just want to have finished it off for me.
  2. I need to finish writing up my notes from that video. I have them in a little pile inside of a notebook on the desk in my office. It would be another little post and I might revisit some of the points in my last blog post on the video - but we'll see. For the record, it would be the "You Know I Left A Part of Me Back In New York" post that I would be revisiting.
  3. On the EY article: a few things. Firstly, I need to just WRITE UP THE NEXT PARAGRAPH. THAT IS ALL THAT I AM ASKING MYSELF TO DO. Just the next paragraph. Just the next paragraph. That can and indeed I am insisting that it should just be its own blog post in itself. Then:
  4. The following paragraph or so (poss 2, if they are connected) after that should be its own blog post too.
  5. And so on until I finish section 3. And then section 4. For however long it takes. At whatever rate it takes. 
  6. And then I have about a million bookmarked articles - and I can TAKE MY TIME WITH THEM. 💜

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&
