Alan Turing's Legacy, Part VII

Alan Turing's Legacy, Part VII

I have run out of AT pictures - maybe one of his memorial - but I want to keep sticking to the titles.

My next plan was to use pictures of wind farms in Luxembourg, where I am from, so here we go.

Using TypedDict

So this was my second homework assignment that was set to me by my incredible mentor. I am so so lucky. 

I have the most incredible mentorship. 

I have the best mentors in the world!

And so one of them has set me a task to learn what TypedDict is 

And so that means I need to read again - arrrgh. Luckily my lead and I have spent a bit more time on this today so I have some context. But I still need more - hey I wonder if I covered it in my Codecademy course.

It's so obvious, please - DUH

It does exactly what my Lead has said to me that it does, based on the conversation that we had this morning. So why was I worrying about it so much?

From Dafoster (???!)


"A TypedDict is a new kind of type recognized by Python typcheckers such as mypy." ALREADY lost then. K THX BYE.

"IT DESCRIBES A STRUCTURED DICTIONARY/MAP WITH AN EXPECTED SET OF NAMED STRING KEYS MAPPED TO VALUES OF PARTICULAR EXPECTED TYPES."

Alan Turing's Legacy

Look, I'm not going to lie to you. I'm going to be honest with you. Sometimes it gets a bit overwhelming.

Sometimes it gets really really overwhelming.

But then I listen to Alan Turing's Legacy from the Imitation Game movie.

I love Alan Turing so so much.

I'm sure this would've been what he wanted me to do.

To keep on learning and keep on coding.

I'm sure this would've been what he wanted all of us who are doing these things and are pursuing such matters to do.

To follow and practice this discipline that he loved so much. That he loved with all his heart. And gave everything to.

Python DictTypes

The below screenshot sums it up pretty well:

Finally, I'm onto something...

I've found a really really good blog post that actually makes sense to me.

So here we go.

from typing import TypedDict

class Person(TypedDict):
  name: str
  age: int
  favourite_song: str

susanna: Person = {
  "name": "Susanna",
  "age": 29,
  "favourite_song": "Yosemite"
}

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? ...

Where To Hide A Star

Where To Hide A Star I haven’t read this book but I just saw this title of a forthcoming children’s book on the train and so I wanted to write a blog post based off of this as well. The last six months have been… rewarding and fulfilling. I have managed to make all of my dreams come true and to defy expectations,  Sometimes the best place to hide is in plain sight and if you reread all of my blogs over the last six months (all 200 of them) you would know exactly what I’m struggling at work and what was going on. And why. But I’ve managed to overcome most of my challenges. Neurodiversity. Being very new in the field relative to the expectations of the job. Being in a new workplace environment. All stuff which I can handle and I am doing just fine. Because I am amazing and fabulous and I can do anything. I am loving the job. I am thriving. I am loving just getting on with it. I love my work. I am having massive breakthroughs. On Thursday I had what felt like the biggest breakthrough ...
