What is the value of a checklist?

The value of a checklist is huge beacuse it keeps you on track on what to do. It gives you priorties to focus on. The checlist will help on being more organized. I belive the checklists can help me work more fluently through the day beacuase ill be aware of what im working on.

What do you plan to improve upon while at Turing?

I plan to improve on my communication skills and technical skills. I want to be able to work in a group and get that experience with other classmates where we communicate and discuss problems regarding a project. I also want to improve my logic in the technical aspect as i see its been a challenge for me at the moment. I would like to also improve my interview skill as well.

Career Development Mod 0 Capstone

Page 1 Mod 0.

When you've worked towards a goal in the past, what systems or tools have been helpful for you in accomplishing that goal? How could you adapt those same systems/tools to use while at Turing?

When i work towards a goal, I like to keep myself motivated and also keep my mind in check. I like to right down what i need to do in order to get to that goal. This helps me to be organized and work accordingly to what i have planned. I could adapt this easily by having a mentor and a little notebook where i can list my thoughts to reach the goal i want. In turing if i keep myself motivated and my mind right i can get to the goals i want. I've doone it before.

What is your greatest strength and how do you know?

My greatest strength is my patience. When things dont come my way, im patient that they eventually will. I know this because when things are going wrong with me i reamain calm. I was in calculus and i didnt understand a subject

Reflections

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

Empathy has taught me to be more understanding of the other person that im interacting with. They explain their struggles in life and what feelings they have with certain subjects. Empathy teaches me different point of views and it helps me to comprehend different situations and implement them to my judgement. It helps grow as a person and think in various ways to approach an issue.

How does empathy help you build better software?

I believe empathy helps you build better software by approaching the issue in different ways

Reading about GraphQL

What is GraphQL?

  • Is an open-source data query and manipulation language for APIS, and a runtime for fulfilling queries with existing data.

How can it be beneficial over RESTful crud endpoints?

  • GraphQL is more flexibale and efficient. It solves many of the shortcomings and inefficiencies that developers experience when interacting with REST APIs. You can get information that you specifically want with using one query. With rest we need to hit different endpoints to retrieve date we want and we mostly get unnecessary data.
