Midnight thoughts about git (really)

Some things can only happen at midnight. Thinking about git like I am right now is one of them. 

Git has been on my mind recently a lot. As my software engineering work ramps up - YES you read that correctly! As we have finally found a way to make tickets accessible to me my work has SKYROCKETED and nobody is happier than me. 

The last two work days have been the most fulfilling of my career. Yes you read that correctly. 

I am finally doing proper software engineering again. 

With the correct rules, and focus. And the accessible tickets that I can work with now (tickets haven’t changed much but how I approach them has and the new iterative approach that I have for them is amazing - it’s quite complicated and it’s a long process involving personal docs but if anyone ever has a neurodivergent employee who is as lost as I was we can help out). With the correct priorities and goals. And with reminding myself again and again to come back to the tickets. No matter how hard it is or how complicated it is. 

To just come back to it again and again. I am so so so happy omg. I am so happy omg. I have never been this happy in my life omg. 

A castle on a clifftop and a big full moon. Text reads: midnight thoughts on git (yes really).

So anyway yeah git

Midnight thoughts on git. As my work finally ramps up and speeds up, I AM SO SO SO SO HAPPY OMG, I am SO SO SO SO HAPPY. I am having to jump around on branches a lot more. Alternate between a reviewed PR I am fixing (DID I MENTION I WAS SO HAPPY OMG) and my new branch which I am coding on (DID I MENTION THAT IT IS SO GREAT). 

And there are always complications. Maybe a branch has already been rebased before and now I have to fix it. Maybe my colleague has already pushed changes onto my rebased branch and now I need to apply further fixes. 

Anyway so I need to improve my git knowledge.

I have been using this game. 


And I’ll say that with git. I always get it at first. And then I think about it and I don’t get it. So I want to learn it properly. So this is my plan for the weekend - along with tidying up a bit (doing some “spring cleaning” except that it’s September) and oh I don’t know - watching Sherlock, processing more Software Engineering Goals, and/or writing in my beautiful new Japanese Temples journal - about AI, of course. 🤖 

Thank you. P.s. I have to stop typing these out on my phone my wrist doesn’t like it. So back to the computer then for these I guess - I still do the technical long ones on there 

My only real thought on git is that I need to do some more practice on it. Thank you. But that will be one for tomorrow. And I can’t wait. I can’t wait at all. Thank you. I am so so so lucky to have this thanks. 

I feel so passionate and alive. Thanks.

Because I can’t wait for tomorrow and to go some more and to go again! Thanks. 🏞️ So wish me luck and if lyou ever read this and are rooting for me. Then please let me know. As all encouragement means the world to me thank you. All encouragement means the world. Thank you. Thanks! ❤️❤️

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&
