How does the engineering culture differ from the overall company culture?
Do senior engineers pair with junior engineers in the ramp-up process? (If they do pair, you can follow up with more questions about who pairs, how often it happens, and how it’s scheduled.)/What kinds of processes are in place to help people work collaboratively?
Will I be working with anyone who is remote, or who works from home on a regular basis?
What checks and balances are in place to make sure people don't make big mistakes or repeat mistakes?/What kind of feedback can I get during my first few months, and who will I be getting it from?
Can you walk me through your development process, from a ticket or task to code on production?
Who might I be working closely with outside of engineering? Is there anyone else you think I should meet with?
What project will I first work on, and what metrics will determine success?
What's the typical day, week, and weekend like in the life of an engineer here?
Did any of your senior engineers start

Tim Tyrell!
Why you want to connect with this person and what you want to talk about:
Tim was my mentor from Mod 1 round 1 and he was successful in his job hunt. I'd like to sit down with him and map out a game plan on how to approach my own job hunt. 
When you will contact them by and how you plan to meet:
I am going to contact him over the intermission and ask him if he wants to do a slack call, lunch or if he has other suggestions.
What your follow-up will look like once you've met with them:
I will contact him once I've gotten going on my job hunt and tell him a little more about what my experience has been, then see if he's got any ideas on how to make further improvements.
What other steps will you take to start building a stronger network in the tech community?
I've got a few names written down from the mentor list; I am going to hit them up either on slack or linkdin. I want to ask them about what they're doing in the field and see if anyone would be open to me doing a "ride along".

I come from a substabtial history in music education. Over my 13 year career I found that the three things I loved the most
were the relationships I got to build with each individual student, the autonomy I had in comparison to my colleages just by 
being a "Specials" teacher, and the opportunity each piece of music we studied offered in terms of practicing, revision and
performance. Over the years NCLB painted many of us into a corner with higher expectations and fewer resources and I was left
with so much resentment in my heart that I knew I needed to be brave and look elsewhere to find a renewed sense of purpose.

I looked at many different career paths, but none of them had the autonomy, community and financial stability I knew I needed
in order to justify leaving music education. Until a friend told me about Turing. It seemed that software development had the
potential to put me in contact with diverse groups of people where I could exercise a similar process of creativity and
perfection in a fairly auto

DTR: Define the Relationship
Use this template to when conducting DTR with your project partners. It's recommended that you copy/paste this template into your own gist each time you conduct a DTR to take notes on the conversation.

Guiding Questions to Define The Relationship:
What are each of our learning goals for this project? What drives us in this project?
What is your collaboration style? How do you feel about pair programming vs. divide-and-conquer approaches?
How do you communicate best? How do you appreciate receiving communication from others?
How would you describe your work style?
What are each of our strengths? How can our strengths complement each other?
What’s gone well or poorly in your previous projects?

Project: Battleship!!!

Group Member Names: Kyle Cornelissen, Mills Provosty

Goals and Expectations for the Project (What does each group member hope to get out of this project? What do we want to achieve as a team? How will we know that we're successful?):

- Finish all 4 iterations

- Mills: I want to be able to offer more support in writing the methods, not just refactoring.

Area of Growth: 
Time management! I have spent some time going over my weekly schedule and want to spend more time here at Turing working and helping other students in order to build comminuty and my personal skills. Last go-round I spent more time than I realized (until it was too late) driving from different activities that I needed to stay healthy. Instead, I need to be planning for the whole day, every day, and packing for that so that I don't need to make stops in the middle of the day; I can spend that time working.

Goal:
Specific:  I want to be finishing at least 50% of iteration 4's on my personal projects/assignments. I've chosen this because I think this is where I fell off last time around. I wasn't making it past iteration 3's and I want to have a deeper understanding of the material I'm learning- I think this will give me the confidence I need to make it through the rest of the program.
