Venvs Part 5 - Processing a very kind message, Part 1

"Once you configure an interpreter in Pycharm", "all you're doing is pointing towards a particular environment." This is what a kind colleague says to me internally. Okay let's learn a bit more then - let's find out a bit more.

"If you type `which python` in a terminal, it will give you the folder that the python code script lives in."

Okay so now this is where I get a bit lost too. Might be time to bring Mr GPT into the equation - which is what I do when I can't understand colleagues' communications.

Let me try one more time first without this.

  • If I type in `which python` into my terminal
    • It will give me the folder that the python code script lives in
    • And be different for each virtual environment
  • Wait, what does my colleague mean by 'the python code script?' which script does he mean? My head is exploding. No worries - I am preparing all of these questions to run through an AI before I ask anyone else. xxx
  • "Opening a python shell, or running any Python program, involves the interpreter reading through all the code already in the environment, line by line."
  • "Once it's done that, it'll let you type in and add more code."
  • "If the interpreter reaches an exception, it'll break immediately, and it'll give you a `traceback` (you might be familiar with these from tests [YES!!!!]) containing the lines the interpreter was reading before it broke."
ARRRRRGH. I WILL NEED A WHOLE FEW HOURS BEFORE I CAN PROCESS THESE. THANKS.

LUCKILY IT'S LUNCHTIME. AND THEN I HAVE A CALL THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT. PHEW. THANKS.

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 ...

“But yesterday, I heard God say, you were born to be the one…”

“But yesterday, I heard God say, you were born to be the one…” Hey there. Still off work. Still tired. Lana del Rey released a new song. Thank God. My soul needed it so much.  I’m thinking a lot about everything. Thinking about where I went wrong. I just want to release. I want to release all the crap that is in my room. I’ve been trying to fully declutter since I was 21. I give away so much. I donate so much. But then I never quite finish. I never get to the click. And then I buy more. I don’t know what technique to use. There are so many techniques. The Marie Kondo method. I like to do kinaesthetic tests too. I like to pretend I’m packing up during the pandemic again and I have to make really quick decisions about what to keep and what to leave behind. That was no fun. But it was efficient. I just can’t release it. There’s so much stuff I can’t let go of. I don’t know how to. I don’t know how to. I suppose that’s a good metaphor for life. We accumulate stuff and we hold on to it....

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’...
