„I don’t have a mission, I just have a love of Truth”

I heard my mediation teacher say these words the other day. This was the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. I love these words.

I don’t know if I have a mission either. I love AI. I love renewable energy. I love water technology and I love software engineering. 

And why can’t that be enough? The truth is I don’t have a specific mission in mind. I have never had a specific mission in mind. I love AI. I love renewable energy. And I love software engineering and I love wind farms. On and offshore.

My love is enough. My love is absolutely enough. The rest will come. The rest will follow. What are the facts?

What are the facts?

  • I love software engineering
  • I love renewable energy
  • I love AI
  • I love the wind farms
  • I love the offshore wind farms out at sea in Brighton
  • I love the wind farms near the village in Luxembourg where I grew up
  • I love pylons
  • I love coding
  • I love internet towers
  • I love the pylons on my train journey up to London
  • I love the pylons in Luxembourg, all along the motorway, 🛣️ and in Kirchberg, near where I went to school 🏫 
  • I always feel so alive and magical near airports
  • I love electricity 
  • I love space
  • And everything to do with it. I love space
  • I love this planet, I love earth. 🌍 I love the planet earth 🌍 🪐 
  • I love all wind farms and pylons that I see
  • I never feel so alive as when I look at a wind farm and think „I can fly with you. Build AI with you.”
And those are the facts.

I don’t have a mission. I am resigned into eternal love. 

Thank you

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&
