MY INSPIRATION NEVER STOPS: You’ll find me at the wind farms

I can look around Brighton and see all the spots where I have had seizures.

But I can look at Brighton and I can also see the wind farms. 

And I think that that’s my turning point. Because what we focus on we become more of. And sometimes if something’s been our identity for a really long time then we become trapped in it. I don’t want to look around Brighton and see all the spots where I have lain on the floor publicly and either had people panic or not believe me. 

I want to look out at the sea and see the wind farms. For that is who I truly am. 

I want to look out at the sea and see the wind farms. I want to see my love. 

I am the wind farms. I am the love that I feel when I see the wind farms. 

I am universal, conscious love. And really I am just that. And so are you. I love the wind farms so much. 

And in my love, I find my healing. And in my love, I find who I really am.

Love

My meditation teacher once said that “Money is love. You earn it by doing what you love. And you spend it on what you love.” 

I want to increase my love for what I do. 

And so I know that to do that I need to go deeper into Python

I know that the only way to increase my love for my job will be by going deeper into Python

Thank you 🤩

This is the most healing place on earth. Btw my laptop is not coming on holiday but the blog posts will still flow. MY INSPIRATION NEVER STOPS.

AND IN MY LOVE FOR THE WIND FARMS, I FIND MYSELF. AND IN MY LOVE FOR THE PYLONS, AND THE PHONE MASTS, AND THE INTERNET TOWERS, AND THE WATER INFRASTRUCTURE, AND THE NICE NICE CLEAN CLEAN CODE. 🏞️ 

I just gave a Python talk

Oh yeah. It was good. An aspiring developer asked me for tips after that. Specifically they wanted tips for a Django tutorial. I gave them two - the polls app with an amazing YouTube accompanying video series. And the Django Girls project. The latter was what my mentor assigned me to do to practice ORMs and it was so amazing. I love Django so much.

Speaking to the young developer, I realised how much my knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript and the DOM had all helped me with my Django knowledge and uptake. I have never seen it like this before. 

How amazing, how wonderful, how beautiful. I am so privileged that all of my previous work has come back to help me and to serve me at this time.

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 ...
