When the ray of light shrinks, shall cold winter nights, begin

If you get the reference to the song in the title without looking it up then I might marry you (maybe). The most beautiful song ever written of all time.

I have spent the whole of this weekend writing to do lists and no I am not even sorry

If you want to judge me I'm afraid you have to have AuDHD, as badly as I do, and be dealing with all the other stuff I have dealt with recently. 

Python to-dos 🐍🐍

I love courses but they stress me out. I can't stand the pressure. But I enjoy them.

And in hindsight I will miss them.

I probably need to take a deep breath and to relax. And to try and be enjoying it more.

It will be over soon enough.

Here are my remaining to-dos:

In Intermediate Python (Finish the rest of the course):

  • Generators
    • Only the project
  • Sets
    • Lesson
    • Quiz
  • Collections
    • Lesson
    • Quiz
  • Sets and Collections
    • Combined project
  • Resource management
    • Lesson
    • Quiz
    • Project
And then I will be done with the intermediate Python course! Omg.

In Advanced Python (I'm just going to be completing two modules):

  • Logging
    • Article
    • Lesson
    • Project
    • Quiz
  • Database Operations
    • Lesson 
    • Project 
    • Quiz

Recordings I need to listen back to

I record nearly all of my calls especially my technical calls.
  • Listen back to a few minutes at the end of my session on clients and servers on 28/10
  • Listen back to the ending of my call on 25/10 on the yield keyword
  • Listen back to my problem solving lesson which is like 45 minutes long on 1/11 
  • Use the code we wrote together with it side by side together

Blog posts or something that I need to write

  • My next blog post after this is a special one
  • I want to write at least two blog posts on the notes that I took from a spontaneous talk my senior gave me about problem solving
  • Other than that just the Python ones - the train ones, the Thursday morning ones - all the other ones are optional
  • I don't usually plan LI posts but wanna do the one on yields - see above.
A woman walks down a cliff in a starry sky. text reads "how lucky i am to have something i love this much."

Important Stuff Related to Work

  • Finish evidencing behaviours for this week
  • Find backend examples of code I don't understand (APIs stuff, HTTP stuff)
  • Share an incident report

Work Stuff

  • Agree on approach to 1 bug
  • Confirm the existence and next steps of bug 2
  • Have session on HTTP stuff - see above

Other

  • Could just let it go but wanted to write a very specific type of journal entry - again I very rarely plan these, if ever at all - in fact never - never ever 
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&
