1. Do Experienced Programmers Use Google Frequently? by Umer Mansoor (10 min)

I was (pleasantly) surprised to hear that programmers regularly use Google. Many courses in academia push for memorization which isn't realistic or helpful, so hearing that Google is an essential for a programmer's toolkit was a huge relief. This point was especially clear when Mansoor mentioned that he used Google 23 times for 255 lines of code; that's almost 10% of his project! Ho

1. When you've worked towards a goal in the past, what systems or tools have been helpful for you in accomplishing that goal? How could you adapt those same systems/tools to use while at Turing?

• I regularly make to-do lists with my own due dates for portions of a project or just general tasks, whether they have their own due dates or not. I try to push my personal due date up, making it a little earlier than it's actually due so I can go back and review it if necessary. Nowing how to create my own gists with check lists, I'm excited to stop wasting so much paper and create my own lists/notes to manage my time (and therefore managing my stress and workload). I also keep a weekly and monthly desk calendar to keep up with all of my tasks. I think I will keep these physical calendars to have a visual reminder of what my week/month will look like.

2. As you start this new career, what is one of your strengths and how do you know?

Why are we talking about empathy at a software development school? How can you develop the "skill" of empathy? And why should you care? When I saw that we'd be reading about empathy in software development/the tech industry, I assumed a lot of the information would be about the bias that can be unintentionally implemented into programs (like what AI is quite publically dealing with now) because of the internalized biases their creators carry. But understanding empathy on a more broad level, on a day to day basis, is important because we can potentially tackle those biases and misunderstandings even earlier on in the process. Empathizing with others can help personal and professional growth, but you can also help others who may not have the courage or capacity to stand up for themselves the same way. I recognize that being a white person, I've had a lot of privilege and I can use that to help others and make change. But I'm also a queer woman, so there are spaces I haven't fe
