Part 1 - From Reading "29 Behaviors That Will Make You an Unstoppable Programmer"

Three behaviors that resonated with me were as follows:

#6 "Understand that code is cheap" They talked about how a good dev has no issue throwing out hundreds of line to do something different. They went on to talk about how some people worry to much about sunk cost and don't want to throw away their code. This is something I can definitely relate to. Coming from my field in Civil Engineering, there have been many times I have worked for days, possibly weeks on something, but ended up scrapping it for a better method. I have absolutely zero qualms about throwing away my work to create something a better way. Usually I learned something while doing the previous method, and it helps me perform even better the second time using a new method. I am sure it is frustrating choosing a route, then coding for a day, then having someone tell you "maybe we should

Read Through Your Theme Definitions

What words or phrases stick out to you? How would you define each of your top 5 talents in your own words?

What is a fieldset element?
- It is used to have multiple labels and inputs in one form.

Build on your professional story by thinking about how you're progressing at Turing. Answer the questions below in your own gist to use your StrengthsFinder themes to add to your story:

Write 1-2 paragraphs about your StrengthsFinder themes: How have you seen yourself using these strengths at Turing? Has your understanding of these strengths changed since you first reflected on them? If so, how?

My strengths have stayed the same.

Write a story about your Turing experience so far: When have you struggled? How have you dealt with struggle? When have you succeeded at Turing? How did you accomplish those successes?

I will make sure all my HTML semantic tags are correct. example: never make a paragraph act as a button example: use labels on forms so they don't have to click a small checkbox

I will make sure content spacing and color contrasts are good for people with vision impairments.

I will check my sites over with a screen reader tool to make sure it acts how it should and it usable by someone with an impairment.

Agile Reflection

Jeff came and talked to our class about agile development. First he talked about how waterfall was the traditional method of development and then he talked about how Agile came to be. This was cool because I have no idea how the software business works. Funny thing is though, Agile is super similar to a delivery method in construction called Design-Build. Basically it all the same type of things in Agile, and just like Agile it is very based on the Toyota Lean philosophy. Overall this was a pretty cool session. It is good to learn about these things, especially because we won't being doing internships where usually you get to learn these types of things before you actually start full time.
