Parkifi shadowing

Parkifi:
What they do: Provide spot-by-spot information to parking lots and garages whether spots are in use or not.
What we did:
Shadow Jessica(Turing Alum):
  Jessica was pairing with another developer to learn Java and implement a new feature.
Shadow Matt:
  Matt was testing a new simulation system that they had written in Elixir.  
  They built it to test different algoritms to detect the presence of vehicles.
Attend Retro:
  They hadn't been having retro and this was their first one (at least in a while from my understanding).
  It was interesting seeing the main issues that they encountered and that many issues were similar to what we're facing as students.
  A lot of it boiled down to communication.
