What is the value of a checklist?

Checklists are an invaluable tool when tackling any large project. Checklists don't just allow you to list all of the tasks that need completed, they also give you the ability to prioritize your work. The process of making a checklist can help you think through the project step by step, which can alleviate some of the overwhelming stress that comes from thinking about all of the elements at once. Once a checklist is complete and you have a more structured idea of how you are going to approach the process, you can break items on the list into even more detailed checklists. I have also found that a list can help me overcome procrastination, as I can choose to complete one item and then decide if I am going to move on to another task or take a break.

What do you plan to improve upon while at Turing?

In my academic life, I have always struggled with procrastination. Throughout my education I have always been able to wait until the last minute to begin a project, and know t

What is your greatest strength and how do you know?

I believe that my top strength is my ability to lead people. My Highest Virtue Class was listed as "Lover of Humanity" which is typified by compassion and befriending others. My top EQ Competency was "Inspirational Leader" which implies that I can guide and motivate people. I think these elements combined illustrate my strength is organizing and supporting people behind a clear vision. I think that these two elements of my assessment compliment each other.

How do you work best?

I work best when provided a clear structure of rules and guidelines. My assessment reflected my logical and analytical approach to problem solving. I rely on breaking projects down into small sections with achievable goals. When working with a team, it is important to me that each person knows what parts they are responsible for and when they need to be comp

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

Empathy is a fundamental part of the way I live my life. There seems to be a great lack of emotional intelligence in the world, and working in the service industry makes that all too clear. Just taking even a moment to actually listen to a person and to understand what they are feeling can make every interaction easier and more satisfying. Working as a bartender for several years allowed me to talk to so many people and see so many perspectives on life, but everyone was driven by the same desires for respect and purpose as anyone else. It also helps you give people the benefit of the doubt, and not take their first impressions too seriously. People don't brag because they have a big ego, or because they think anyone is actually interested. People brag because they are nervous about what other people think about them, and want to show them that they have value. As a writer, understanding the emotional states behind people's words and action

  • What is a "framework?" And how does it differ from a "library?"

Both a framework and a library are collections of code written by someone else. A library is a collection of class definitions that can be implemented into your code without having to rewrite them each time. A framework is a more complicated skeleton with specific places for a developer to write functionality. With a library, the user calls the code and has much more control over the rules that must be followed. In a framework, the framework calls your code and there are more strict rules that you must follow to have the code function correctly.

  • Why should we consider using a framework over vanilla JS like you have been doing in mods 1 and 2?

The main benefit of using a framework (or a library) is code reusability. It can be time-consuming and error-prone to rewrite the same functions over and over again. Frameworks provide a tested and predictable structure on which developers can build their apps. Fra
