The Focus

The goal for the next hour is to practice your technical code review skills and providing critical feedback. On the job, code reviews are huge part of being on a team and being able to accept and implement feedback is a vital skill.

Feedback should be positive, actionable and clear enough that anyone reading the issue could implement without any clarifications.

Areas of Review

1. Code Patterns - Identify coding patterns or practices that are detrimental to the code base or go against the majority of the code base (consistency). Are there too many global variables? Are you using .forEach instead of .map to create new arrays? Lots of if/else statements? Functions are too big?
2. Style - Is your code consistently styled (spacing, naming conventions, file names)? Are you using a linter? Are you switching between ES5 and ES6?
3. Communication - Are you writting concise commit messages? Are you using branches for small, complete pieces of functionality and have PR's with comments?

Immersive Journalism with VR

Why You Should Get Your News with VR

• Imagine waking up and walking among the news, not reading it.
• Instead of saying 'oh another bomb went off 4000 miles away...sad', you could could emphasize with the victims and understand their struggles.
• However, some may consider this an entry point for criticism, claiming that immersive journalism undermines objectivity because the audience can be put through an experience with a controlled viewpoint. Certainly in the digital age, visual and audio material can be rapidly manipulated to create a semblance of truth which has no relationship to facts.

Clouds Over Sidra

• A VR video capturing the life of a 12 year old Syrian girl done by the United Nations.

Effortful

Pitch

Keep your change, lose your guilt and start giving back to those in need by rewarding positive behavior with basic human necessities, education or opening a door to future employment.

Problem

The problem I am trying to solve is offering a non-monetary reward for creating positive influences in our community, specifically for the homeless population.
