And Other Adventures in Helping Someone Learn to Code

So our next speaker, Suzie Grange, and Suzie is going to talk to us about what it's like

Suzie, although she is an interesting person, she couldn't come up with any fun facts on

her own, however, I have pulled a couple out of her.

So Suzie is a musician as you will learn about in the talk and she came to New York in order

to found a startup that has like a really, really cool mission to help improve women's

health care which is a topic that is really near and dear to my heart, because I'm a woman

and she went came to New York she said I'll leave all that band stuff behind and she quickly

discovered that she was wrong and she needs to make music and now she's making music again

and she's going to tell us about that in her talk.

All right, hi, everybody, Day 3, JSConf, we made it.

So this is actually my first talk so please excuse my verbal typos.

So I want to kick things off with a quick show of hands.

I say this but I can't really see y'all because it's kind of bright up here.

And who considers themselves still to be a junior engineer right now.

Cool, well, you're in the right place and who considers themselves to be a senior engineer?

And who considers themselves someone who knows everything there is to know about software

! Well, yeah, junior folks, as you can see from that, if you feel like you don't know

enough right now, rest assured that you probably never will, so yay for that.

So and what unites us all is that we all have to start somewhere, but that can be different

Maybe you knew from the minute that you had a family PC that you knew you wanted to code.

You knew you wanted to manipulate this machine or maybe inspired by customizing your my space

profile or maybe you did computer science as a degree.

Wherever we came from, we all ended up in this crazy journey.

So last summer my friend James decided to join us and he took the brave decision to

So me being a mostly decent human being, I offered to help, I mean how hard can it be

in 2019 with the finest Google search results and videos and courses online?

Way harder than I thought or I think he even thought, to be honest.

So today I want to share ten things that I learned as I followed James on his coding

My pronouns are she/her, I am British, not Australian, so congrats for those of you who

guessed that in the guess the accent sweep stakes and I work on the front-end tech lead

We partner with employers to support their employees through pregnancy, surrogacy, adoption

Also we're hiring, so if you're interested in either of those things, please come to

So my path into this is that I was self-taught or I like to call myself an accidental engineer.

When I picked up guitar at age 12, I kind of knew that was it for me, that was what

I wanted to do, so for the rest of my teens and early 20s, I spent most of my time playing

shows in dodgy dive bars and venues across the UK, but after playing my first show, I

think I was 14 or something, I was backing in the glory of success, I thought that the

this is the late '90s and early 20000, and I had no shortage of I inspiration.

The web was full of fonts, and let's face it questionable design choice, they were great

So armed with cutting edge tools and zero experience I drag and dropped my way to creating

I had this thing on my computer and I knew I had to somehow get that onto the interwebs.

I heard that hosting was a thing, so I got some low-cost hosting, I think and I emailed

my band's email list and I asked if anyone knew any FTP sites.

With no skills, I had become a freaking webmaster.

So sadly, archive.org didn't start until 2001, so my 1999 handiwork is lost to the ether,

Eventually I graduated from publisher to front page and then definitely very illegally obtained

Tables and frames came and went and CSS came along and allowed me to look pretty.

It wasn't a career if you had to do a career in computer science, you had to go and do

a degree in computer science, right, that's how it works?

So fast forward, I did a degree in music technology, I worked in retouching for a bit, I worked

I had something of a mid-20s crisis trying to figure out what I was doing with my life

in which I considered everything from being a lawyer to a teacher to a social worker and

then I heard about this startup scene thing that was happening in the US and that kind

You know, it's you and a bunch of people and you're creating this product that you're trying

to put out into the world in order to be successful and famous and happy or something so I figured

So I read some books, I built some bad PHP apps and I badgered some people on Twitter

until thankfully someone gave me a chance and gave me a code.

So I taught myself Ruby, discovered SVN and git and I taught myself JavaScript and here

I am today, giving my first talk at the biggest conference in our industry, so that's weird.
