A Problem-Solving To-Do List For Myself (Yet Once More)

A Problem-Solving To-Do List For Myself (Yet Once More)

I have a lot of problem solving stuff to do.

Here is my to-do list:
  • Listen back to the problem solving call I had with my boss on 1/11/2024 for 45 minutes - I have been putting off this one for a month as it is so long
    • I also have some follow-along code
  • Re-listen back to my testing problem solving call with my boss from 8/11/2024 - I have already listened back to it once - but I just really need to listen one more time
  • Listen back to my call on - oh gosh I'm getting lost now - 29/11/2024 I believe
    • It's part 2 of a problem-solving activity we did together
  • Latest point:
    • Listen back to our impromptu 10 minutes or so of call from 2/12/2024
      • Only the first 10 minutes
      • On how to debug smth
  • Forthcoming step:
    • We have agreed to do a call on how my boss would've solved a problem I struggled with yesterday
      • We changed a path but I didn't realise it
      • My boss has very, very kindly indeed offered to show me how he would've approached and solved this problem himself

Edit: the above call is done now (4/12/2024) and can add it to the to-do list - thanks. that makes 5 problem solving calls to listen to - it might be enough. unless any big issues come up. let's see how it goes. thanks! x

Please don't be freaked out about the dates! I'm autistic. This is how I remember things...

Reflecting On One Screenshot

My boss sent me a screenshot on something I do in the debugger - or rather I don't do. 

Need to improve on it. Need to process this screenshot please - thanks.

Adding to the Great Wall

I have a great wall of problem solving. 2 A1 sheets and 2 A4 sheets on my wall. I want to add my top notes from these last 4-5 or so calls I will be listening to. 

Iterating

Once it's all on there or even before I will be writing some more blog posts based on all of this and then maybe I'll even do it very soon

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...
