1. what is one command that you'll incorporate into your daily workflow and why?

- git --grep for me seems really helpful because you get to search through all of your commit messages.

2. How does rebasing work compared to a merge workflow?

- rebasing adds your commits on the top of the master while the merge workflow merges commits into the master, which can easily create merge conflicts.

3. why would we ever use git stash?

- it's helpful when you still need to record all the work that you've been doing but have to switch out to a different branch. It allows you to go back to it and work.

4. what is the primary difference between git reset -soft and git reset -hard?

- git reset -soft will just change the head branch, while git reset -hard changes all of it pretty much. It changes the head, index, and workign directory.

Facial Recognition Pros vs Cons

---

Pros

1. Convenience: facial recognition will eventually be able to allow us to use our faces as a means of credit. What I mean by that is our credit cards will be linked to our faces, thus making it more convenient so we don't have to pull out our credit cards, and we also don't have to be afraid of losing our wallets or having it stolen. Besides payment methods, it can help in places like bars, where they would know who is of age, or who got in line first at the bar, etc. In a more relatable since, at schools, it can help take attendance by doing a mass scan, therefore no time is wasted of the instructors or the students.

I've been very fortunate enough to score a pretty cool mentor, actually mentors. Not only are their personalities very compati- ble with mine, but they are very skilled and very sociable as well.

1. I'm currently planning to go to meetups with my mentor. He told me that now is a great opportunity because it doesn't make it seem like i'm only trying to network to get a quick job access. I can use this as experience and get great advice from other successful developers.

2. I've been contacting my mentor via slack. We also set up paired meetings and discuss future coffee date plans and how to message developers that I am interested in reaching out to.

I am, the youngest daughter of Asian immigrants who came to America for a better life. Me, growing up and living in America am currently trying to find and live the "American Dream". But what is this American Dream we all talk about? Initially I had this impression that it meant having to be successful in life, but eventually you realize that everybody has a different meaning of success. I found myself involuntarily falling into societal norms of contributing to the Asian stereotype of working at a nail salon. My aunt owned a nail shop, and that's how it all began for me. My entire life up until now I've been working in the service industry, not knowing my own worth and potenial. I found myself drawn more to the logical aspect of situations I've always been put in, whether it be at work , or in life in general, thus bringing me to finding my path as a developer. I was more satiated in mediating, problem solving, and seeing people's reactions when their problems were solved. I can honestly say now, that a

1. What is your greatest strength and how do you know?

• My greatest strengths would be that in the work force, I have the ability to maintain my own virtues while respecting others. I fall under the category of "Lover of Moderation". People in this class are said to be unpretentious and sincere. Instead of making impulsive decisions, I gauge the situation first and think of the future outcome while avoiding an instant judgement call.

2. How do you work best?.

• Because my attitude is very "OCD" esque, I work better in a more organized environment. I prefer when there's a plan, rather than being spontaneous; for me, I'm less stressed that way because I know what the outcome is going to be if the rules are followed. I also don't mind taking the lead and arranging certain engagements as well. It's like a check list; all you have to do is go down the list and follow instructions/tasks one by one and eventually you'll be done.

3. What is your greatest area of improvement?

"The Surprising (Nontechnical) Skill You Need to Succeed in Tech" -The Muse

After reading the articles, reflect (4-6 sentences) on the following prompts

1. What role does empathy play in your life and how has it helped you?

• When I was still working in the service industry, one of the key factors of getting good tips or an outcome of an experience that was enjoyable was having empathy towards customers. By gauging people, you know how to approach them; you know the right things to say and you know what not to say. You learn how to turn on your "customer service" attitude and try to adapt and adjust to your customer's mood. Understanding someone can help you work on yourself indirectly as well. For me personally, it helped me become more patient helping me be more calm and understanding towards others. Not everyone thinks like you, so when you are able to empathize with others, you'll be able to understand why they act the way that they do.
