PD: Story Telling

After graduating college with a degree in English, I found myself wondering what exactly it was I wanted to do with my life. I spent my summers in college doing a door to door sales internship in which I was pretty successful and through which I gained a vast number of applicable real world marketable skills in the field of sales.

I applied and was hired by a New York startup to be an outside sales rep for the Portland Metro area in Oregon. I was full of excitement for what the future held, especially now that I had a 6 figure salary to manifest all of my dreams.

It wasn’t really the glitz and glam that I had been anticipating for my first

Guiding Questions to Define The Relationship: What is your collaboration style? How do you feel about pair programming vs. divide-and-conquer approaches? Lane - pair programming bounce things of each other Karl - pair programming learning concepts that maybe aren't fully grasped but having to physically type the code is helpful.
