"Radio Waves They Flow Through Me But They Can't, They Can't, They Can't Hold Me": Addressing my two final problem solving calls

"Radio Waves They Flow Through Me But They Can't, They Can't, They Can't Hold Me": Addressing my two final problem solving calls

So the plan going forward is:
  • Listen to these final two problem solving calls
  • Address them in my blog
  • Fill out the last two panels on my wall
  • Continue to use my wall to write blog posts/journals
  • Maybe create a more refined version or two of the posters on my walls
Also work is supporting me to do a debugging course but this is not online it is on paper, so you may see posts about this or it may just all be in my journals please - thanks.

Okay I'm on the train now wearing my Christmas jumper and wondering how on earth I'm going to make it through this day.

Call 1:

I AM listening to it back on the train.

The internet is pretty rubbish.

Not sure whether to give up just here our not (I am 12/27 minutes in) or if there might be some golden gems at the end I might have forgotten about. I like myself when I problem solve.

I am very very good at it. "Always read the error. Cos it's trying to give you the answer. And if you ignore it you just go down a black hole/rabbit hole."

Listening to this call back really told me that:
  • What is the problem here? and
  • Okay, so, what is this talking about? 
Are really two questions I should be asking myself with every ticket and with every problem.

And I need to get better at
  • Clicking into the right functions
  • Looking around for nearby code examples of how to do the same thing
  • Reading the error messages

Call 2:

I can't do it. After 30 years of tireless effort there is just one call I can't bear to listen back to a second time having listened to it once already.

So I have the last 2 points for the last two panels of my problem solving wall
  • "What is the problem here?"
  • "What is it talking about?"
And that's it. Tomorrow I need to
  1. Buy a chat GPT license
  2. Buy a debugging zine
  3. Expense them both
  4. Print the zine
  5. Try and go to a local social, though I do not know how
  6. ABOVE ALL: Put my new pink A1 POSTER on my wall - and make it - with the PROBLEM-SOLVING HIGHLIGHTS.
  7. Put my new ceritifcate on my wall - yeah I WON AN AWARD!!!! I'M SO HAPPY!! 💗
  8. Allow myself a brief rest - it was the Christmas party!

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 ...
