Continuing with the absolute disaster that is attempting to sit still through a VSCode Video Course (Part 3)

I repeat - I REPEAT - I CANNOT sit still and passively watch videos. I cannot. But I am doing my best. They don't even show the commands he's using so if you mishear them thats too bad. And with my neurodiversity if instructions aren't written down either by me or someone else they don't exist. But I'm doing my best. Okay what's gong on now. "Go to bracket". COMMAND SHIFT BACKSLASH. oh nice. that one jumps to the relative opening or closing bracket

"HALF THE TIME WHEN YOU WISH VSCODE DID SOMETHING IT MIGHT" THEN WE GO TO THE COMMAND PALETTE. I AM DOING REALLY WELL. CAN I SPEED THIS GUY UP. I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT SECTION OF THE COURSE I AM ON. THERE ARE NO CLEAR HEADINGS.

HELP. I AM SURVIVING.

OH THE TERMINAL - FINALLY. CONTROL BACKTICK! OH I KNEW IT! I KNEW THERE WAS A WAY! I KNEW IT. BUT HOW AM I GOING TO REMEMBER ALL OF THIS STUFF? OH NO.

WHY IS THIS NOT WORKING FOR ME NOOO. 

oh my God 

it's friggin control backtick

well now that makes sense anyway

control backtick

please don't 

don't even talk to me

this is where all my fears of being fired stem from

someone realising how catastrophically I learn

how very much I need it to be my unique style

how very much videos are an information overload

should I be creating a cheat sheet - nah I will pull out my learnings afterwards from here

I'm actually very good at that

control backtick opens up a new terminal or just the terminal idk whatever i will experiment and play around

an artistic image of a butterfly image in a colourful orb

continue

halp

send halp please

I will never ever remember all of the things that this dude is saying

oh yeah command 1 and command 2 to move between editors nice

best to scroll to the terminal - no problem I will live

no problem I am old school

i am a broken human being

i am a broken human being

TURNS OUT THERE ARE REALLY GREAT COURSE DOCKS, I COULD READ THOSE INSTEAD

OR I COULD COME BACK TO THEM

I COULD TRY TO WATCH THE VIDEO FASTER AND THEN COME BACK TO THESE

I COULD CARRY ON WITH THE VIDEO AT LEAST FOR NOW

AND THEN SEE

OR I COULD JUST DO THESE AND DITCH THE VIDEO WHICH DOESN'T WORK FOR ME AT ALL

LET'S KEEP GOING

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’...
