Sitting Still Through A VSCode Course, Part 2

Sitting Still Through A VSCode Course, Part 2

Ahem.

After a year of Pycharm, I am learning to be good at VSCode. So here we are. 

Part 2 of this series. As the most AuDHD person alive (well, one of them) it is going very very slowly. Let us continue then.

Continuing

Talking about the vs code built in terminal. And other buttons.

Okay which section am I in? Which chapter am I in? This kind of things helps me to focus. Wait, lost. Totally lost. Oh so you can do

command shift [ / commamd shift ]

to move back and forth between files.

Just like in Pycharm!

Suffering on

OMG

YOU'VE GOT SWITCH EDITOR 

AND SWITCH GROUP. The nice man instructor person 

Says to just drop down menus and look at what the options are

MY OPTIONS ARE OF COURSE DIFFERENT FROM THE DUDE'S IN THE RECORDING

But I get the idea. Look at options. Hit tabs at the top and look at what the menu options are. Just to get an idea of what is possible.

An image of green and red code and laptops

Okay so you can do some shit with like commands one and two.

OMG THERE ARE LOTS OF DIFFERENT LAYOUT OPTIONS OMG.

okay so I TRIED THE COMMAND ONE AND COMMAND 2 THING. 

THAT IS JUST CRAZY. I CAN JUMP ROUND BETWEEN EDITOR WINDOWS 

OKAY LIKE WOW. NOW WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT LAYOUTS AND HOW DO I GET TO THEM PLEASE? THANKS

Continuing Forwards

I'll check in a moment. Okay so you can also just drag editor windows around. Okay you can do groups or something. Can't find them locally on my IDE, Who cares.

We are looking at and talking about very complicated setups. Optimising patterns is good. Can't memorise everything Steve is saying. Lots of options to jump between editors and groups. COMMAND P IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT. WITHOUT THE SHIFT

THIS IS FILES

YOU CAN SEARCH FOR ANY FILES IN YOUR CODEBASE.

OKAY ARRRGH.

Continuing More

OKAY COMMAND P JUST SEARCHES IN FILES

OKAY THAT IS COOL

REMEMBER

COMMAND SHIFT P - COMMAND PALETTE

COMMAND P - FILES

WE WILL MESS IT UP SOMETIMES

AND THAT IS OKAY
THAT IS OKAY TOO THANKS

BUT THE DIFFERENCE IS - THE CHEVRON

SO IF YOU DO COMMAND SHIFT P AND YOU MEANT TO DO COMMAND P - YOU CAN REMOVE THE CHEVRON

OR IF YOU DO COMMAND P AND YOU MEANT TO DO COMMAND SHIFT P

YOU CAN ADD THE CHEVRON

NICE NICE NICE

NICE

THE TAKEAWAYS

Key takeaways - again

IF I CATCH MYSELF THINKING

Why am I doing this manual task? Why am I not thinking about the code? Think about why and then try and learn the quick command

You can open the same file in two windows but why would you wanna do that?

YOU CAN ALSO HAVE ZEN MODE

FOR BUDDHISTS LIKE ME

But not great for coding

Command option tab: no idea

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’...
