Areas of Emphasis

What was your learning focus this inning? What technical and communication skills did you want to grow? Do you feel like you've achieved those goals?

My learning focus this inning was to get more comfortable writing code in both javaScript and React. I also wanted to get better at TDD. In terms of communication skills, I very much wanted to get better about arguing/asserting my opinions about code.

I understand javaScript much better and feel comfortable writing functions in es5 and es6. I'm still struggling to put the pieces together to make a coherent program in React.

Behaviors of Unstoppable Coders

Two of the behaviors listed in this article are closely related to one another and resonate strongly with my background. In Montessori, we have a practice called "friendliness with error". This means that mistakes are teaching moments and should not be viewed in a negative manner. This closley ties in with absorbing criticism with ease. If one can acknowledge mistakes without being defensive, learning from that situation will come much more quickly than deflecting criticism. The third tenet that I found relateable is the one about skipping meetings. Often times I found myself thinking about all he actual work I could have done had I not gone to school staff meetings. If you're going to call a meeting, you should have at least one item that MUST be attened to and decided upon.

List Making

Making a check list seems redundant sometimes when it pertains to everyday activities that you're accustomed to doing. However, they can be quite h
