Sprint 3 Retrospective
As many of the others in my group have said this was probably the best Sprint, we have had this semester. What specifically went well this semester was right when the Sprint started. That was a problem we had the last Sprint because we had a slow start because of Spring break. When this semester…
Apprenticeship Pattern “Learn How You Fail”
I am choosing to write about this section this week because I can feel like I can relate to this topic deeply. In one of the opening statements of this section, the author talks about how people who have never failed or say that they have never failed have avoided pushing themselves or have just…
Apprenticeship Pattern “Stay in the Trenches”
For this week’s blog post, I decided to write about this section of the textbook because I feel like this is an issue, I can see myself having when I get into the field. If I were to summarize this section in two statements, it would be “don’t let success go to your head”, and…
Sprint Retrospective #2
For our second sprint, I think our group had a lot of ups and downs. At the start of the spring (before Spring Break), our group was very productive. Before break, we divided our group into two subgroups, three people working on the programming portion of the project (Sofia, Emmanuel, and I) and three people…
Apprenticeship Pattern “The Deep End”

For this week’s blog post, I decided to pick a topic that I think is very important and is something that we should remind ourselves time and time again. The topic I wanted to go over this week is on the topic of familiar tools or using things that we are familiar or comfortable with.…
Apprenticeship Pattern “Practice, Practice, Practice”
In this apprenticeship pattern, it talks about the importance of practicing our coding skills and how we should practice. The section starts off by talking about how the reason why people make coding mistakes on the job is because they are practicing and learning the skill while they are doing it. A lot of programmers…
Sprint -1 Retrospective Post
For our first sprint, I think our group did some things fairly well and had some things that we need to work on. From the first day of Sprint planning, our group got along very well and that made it easier for us to work together. We got straight to work on most days but…
Apprenticeship Pattern “Kindred Spirits”
For this week’s blog post, I decided to review a chapter about a topic that I have thought about a lot. The topic that I am reviewing this week is the importance of mentors and finding kindred spirits. For those of you who does not know what a kindred spirit is, a kindred spirit is…
