| In the two projects we've used Waffle.io as our go to. however, depending on the team how this is worked in practice has varied greatly. On some teams we've drive the work process thru the PM tool while on the other teams it's been cast off and not paid notice. Some of this is familiarity with the platform. I've found it helpful to just make list of features and items on the PM tool and to constantly update it to keep track of our agenda. Others have found similar use by constantly updating a personal slack channel and pushing both update and communication via that. | |
| Agile hasn't seen a lot of daylight this mod. That approach seems to be for longer term projects (okay, sure we could scale down but....) than we deal with here. |
| What does it mean to concatenate files? Find an image of an example concatenated file. Why would we want to concatenate files? | |
| Smoosh all the style sheets and html together... one long stream of conciousness mashup | |

| What does it mean to precompile files? What does this have to do with coffeescript and sass files? | |
| make 'em faster... do shit before launch so compile process doesn't bog down load time? precompile the stylesheets to make them staticaly available upon full launch?? | |
| What does it mean to minify files? Find an image of an example minified file. Why would we want to minify files? | |
| minify = take out all unnecessary characters | |

| # Feedback II Reflection | |
| * Date of feedback conversation: | |
| 3/28 | |
| * How did you prepare for the conversation? | |
| reflected on time spen doing swapping pairs during bike-share with team members and our interactions there and in a group of 4 (very positive BTW) | |
| * How did the conversation go for you? What was easy about the conversation? What was more difficult? | |
| Nearly 100% positive. The only hesitant was recieving completely fair feedback but initially receiving it as more of a harsh critique than an objective one. All good in the end |

What is the purpose of HTML?
What is the purpose of CSS?
What are some HTML tags you learned over break? Anything interesting?
What is the purpose of a class in CSS? an id?
similar... there's the movement to push us forward and get out of the entrenched white(&asian) male dominated software engineering field.
what role do you play in creating a more inclusive environment in your cohort and larger community at turing. I actively seek out women and minorities to help or ask questions of or to engender trust with to let them know that this is a welcoming place with people that want them to be here and for them to feel included. 1
For these questions, write a short description or snippet of code that meets the requirement. In cases where the question mentions a “given” data value, use the variable given to refer to it (instead of re-writing the information).
Give one difference between Modules and Classes. Classes create an object - Modules only modify objects
Defining Modules
First, create a module Doughy which defines a method has_carbs? that always returns true. Then, given the following Pizza class, update Pizza to use your new Doughy module to gain the defined has_carbs? behavior. module Doughy def has_carbs?

| Guiding Questions to Define The Relationship: | |
| What are your learning goals for this project? | |
| Further explore the use of enumerables to accomplish the demands of the project. | |
| What is your collaboration style? How do you feel about pair programming vs. divide-and-conquer approaches? | |
| Given we feel confident in our respective abilities to get after it individually we've divided the tasks up into the writer and the reader. Divide and conquer it is. | |
| How do you communicate best? How do you appreciate receiving communication from others? | |
| Clear and open. Just stream of conciousness thoughts flowing back and forth. Danny's got a leg up on Mark with regard to overall ruby proficiency but Mark's been thru this Mod before and knows the nuance of navigating this type of project. | |
| How would you describe your work style? |
