The stack is a fundemental data stucture that follows the FILO flow.
Call stack is the order you computer processes your code. An example if you called a method and within that method you declare a variable, calling the method goes in the stack first then the variable declaration. The process of setting the variable as the last thing in happens first then the method being finished happens second
The final product of an operation.
When there is an error Ruby throws an exception and the stack trace leading up to that error in the console.
Week 4 has been pretty cool. I'm constantly amazed at how much data manipulation backend learns in mod 1. So many of these concepts I didn't hear about until mod 2 during the front end program. Though I do understand that there isnt the need to focus on DOM manipulation so just getting use to the difference. Was super happy to get an interview this week. Backend is creeping closer to my love of front end but I dont know if I will get the creativce fufillment like styling the front end side.

Working on a larger team, practice collaboration
De'Marcus - Experience and documentation reading Matt- Efficient coding and quick in executing needed solutions and implementation.
Project was interesting. I enjoyed rendering the board (Gave that good ole front end feeling) and I really took the time to practice TDD. I also really tried to take my role as a sort of mentor to my partner and I tried helping him learn new concepts and would have him explain lines of code to me to make sure he understood what everything did. David was very receptive to feedback and was a pleasure to work with. Great project for learning alot of new methods.
This week has been benificial in multiple ways. It has made me confident as a developer that I can take my previous understanding of JS and apply it to other languages. The amount of enumerables is mindblowing and I feel like Ruby was built with more thought than JS. The biggest thing I'm learning is where to initiate code where I expect the user to respond. After speaking with Dione it makes alot more sense where it should go and why. The instruction has been great and things I didn't even think about like 0 being truty in Ruby when I'm use to it producing a falsey in JS connditionals is something i know whould have gotten me hung up.
My group started off with a really good DTR. Everyone knew exactly what everyone else had planned going into the first weekend. The front end was utilizing PR Templates and it made it really easy to understand what had changed and what would be affected.
Once there was a pivot, we did not come back together to nail down exactly what needed to happen with the new direction. There was conflict in what was important for the MVP as far as prioritizing testing over styling. Some members felt like others were not having there input considered and it was turning into a boss/subordinate dynamic. As crunch time approched we did less and less detailed PR's.
I definitely got better at creating a detailed PR and having the 'conversation' in the code review. Also whenever there is a change in direction, I understand how crucial it is to reestablish all the details necessary for the new direction. Worki
