| Intro => 80/20 is a natural principle that was first observed by a dude named Vilifredo Pareto in like the early 1900's. He noticed that year after year 20% of his pea pod's in his garden were producing approximately 80% of his yield of peas. And the other 80% of the pea pods were producing the reminaing 20% of his peas. | |
| I'm not going to go into this but heres some examples of this natural principle working in nature/business/relationships/etc. . . | |

| 1) What habits of your group members are you hoping to adopt? | |
| JH => Optimism. | |
| JP => Very effective communicator. | |
| Bret => Use pry to go through the code a lot. | |
| JH => Just start typing. To get going. Instead of waiting | |
| JH => Doing one thing from memory and then copying it (instead of just copying old code). | |
| Bret => Keeping organized and logical. | |
| JP => Wanting to learn why things work they do. |
| Find an example commit from your Traffic Spy project which was dealing exclusively with a Git problem | |
| rather than a feature or bugfix (e.g. "Fix merge commit", "Really add file...", "Merge master | |
| multiple times in a row", etc) | |
| What do you believe the root cause of some of these issues were? | |
| How did they impact your ability to work on the project? | |
| What solutions worked for you and your team? |
| Why learn recursion? | |
| 1) It's bad ass. | |
| 2) Many people view recursion as an acid test for how well an individual understands computer programming. | |
| Know recursion well enough to reach for it in a technical interview (not super hard don't worry)? | |
| #Hired. | |
| 3) It's fun and is guaranteed to give you a smug sense of superiority over people that haven't taken the time to practice | |
| it yet. Oh, and the recursive code you write will be ridiculously clean. |
| Metaprogramming => programs that write programs. | |
| Why does it matter? Rails uses it a ton behind the scenes. | |
| How does it work? Many patterns but the one we are going to focus on today is #send. | |
| Let's say you want to write a method that will contact your mother via text (because she | |
| keeps complaining that you never talk to her anymore since you started Turing). | |
| So you write the following method: |
| Weakness => | |
| 1) Give and Get buttons on front page both lead directly to user sign up page. | |
| 2) Flow is hard to understand (even browsing around I still don't know what I'm supposed to do or how it works). | |
| No real visual dominance of elements. | |
| Recommendation => | |
| 1) Instead, provide business value and only ask for user info when you need it (it will make more sense to the customer). | |
| Allow them to browse off the home page. | |
| 2) Profile/dashboard page could really use some repositioning of elements. For instance the history column on the bottom | |
| is cool but it should be front and center when I first log in. | |
| Strength => |
| Start with example of science experiment with 3 different temperature waters (hot, room temp, cold). | |
| Stick hands in hot and cold and leave them for 20 seconds... Then immediately stick them both in room temp water. | |
| The water will feel both cold and hot at the exact same time (even though its obviously the same temperature). | |
| This is to demonstrate that we are relative beings. All our surmations about reality are really just relative to what others our doing. | |
| Theory of relativity. Smarts. Test scores. Everything. |
