I like to fly, I build AI

There is nothing I love more in the world than to build artificial intelligence. Nothing makes me happier in my life than the fact that I work in an AI team. I started dreaming about working in utilities AI last January and I thought it would take 10-20 years. It took three months.

Every day I can’t believe how lucky I am.

This feels like some kind of a greatest gift in the world. I often think of Alan Turing. I don’t think that I could’ve done this without the kind of inspiration that he gives me.

I know it’s time for me to get organised again. I had a bit of a crash after the probation. 

I got a lot done and I built a beautiful dashboard. I was really held by the fact that I had a project with a single focus.

This really saved me, I feel. Jumping around projects would’ve been a bit too much following the probation crash.

But here I am now. I’m going back to the AnswerBot. Nothing made me feel more alive again than it did when I got back to the AnswerBot on Monday. Then I had sick leave and a course and a SPA day. So it’s good to be back. I have a big old ticket, a small ticket which could be done very quickly which I’d like to do first and another frontend ticket. I need to get organised. I need some discipline. Previously I was closely managed and given a lot of structure. Now I need to do this for myself. It will be okay but I don’t always know how to do it. I try everything. I spend all my money on planners.

Nothing makes me feel organised. I manage so much.

Dance. I dance so many workshops and lessons and playlists.

Travel. I am always going on little trips.

Tickets. I have so many to organise and to do. And water research. I always have so many ideas. Nothing works for me and I really wish something would. Actually LinkedIn posts and blog posts work best. But I can’t use them for organising my work and my personal finances and my dance playlists

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 ...

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 ...

In the Water, I find Fire

In the Water, I find Fire Who am I without renewable energy? I had to ask myself this question last year when my company laid off half its employees.  I didn’t know who I was anymore. Not without renewable energy. But I did everything I could to stay in it. The time in between jobs allowed me to experiment. Travel around the UK a bit. Reconnect with old hobbies. Rediscover my femininity a bit - be someone who wasn’t always working. But I fought to stay in renewable energy. A part of myself has been telling myself that I am in renewable energy still and that’s great because I am. But I am mostly in water. And that was hard for me to accept that. Because I love renewable energy so so much. And I couldn’t imagine my life without it. But now I can. Not because I don’t love it But because I need to give myself to something more too and that is water Because in the water I find my passion In the water, I find my fire In the water, I find my self again In the water, I find my Self So let’...
