First some notes on markdown

---

Use the "#" character before lines to indicate different header types. One "#" will create a large H1 type header

Multiple "#" characters, up to 6, can be used to show smaller sub-headings, h2-h6.

1. Numbered lists are easy
2. Just add "1." or "2." etc to the beggining of the line to indicate its numbered place
3. And now you have a numbered list!

Gear Up Reflections, Turing Mod0 Day1 Capstone

By: Michael Schneider

• What role does empathy play in your life and how has it helped you?
  • I use empathy to understand the people I work and live with. Putting myself in their shoes and seeing the world through their eyes gives me a much better sense of their point of view and feelings. I also appreciate it when people show empathy towards me. Knowing that I sometimes need help encourages me to see others in need as well.
• How does empathy help you build better software?
• If we can understand the end user of our software better, then we can build programs that are easier and more enjoyable to use. If we take into account limitations others might face we can incorporate solutions from the beggining. In addition, none of us live or work alone and understanding and complimenting those relationships will allow us to be more effective and efficient in our own work. Empathy helps in a wide range of situations and software development is certainly

Career Development. Turing Day3 Mod0 Capstone

By: Michael Schneider

• What is your greatest strength and how do you know?
  • My curiosity of the world. It allows me to look again and rexamine difficult problems. The desire to understand the world on deeper levels encourages me to try unsolved riddles in new ways.
• How do you work best?
  • By trial and error. I enjoy being immeresed in variables and discovering, sometimes by pure chance, what works. It is thrilling to face complex tasks and then discover valuable information to understanding the whole.
• What is your greatest area of improvement?
  • Knowing when trail and error has born as much fruit as possible. Knowing when to stop trying everything and to focus on a single direction to my objectives. For that matter, clearly knowing what my objectives are.
• How do you hope to maximize your strengths for your new career in software development?

Agile & Feedback Reflection

Michael Schneider, 1906 FE

1. What have you learned about the use of agile vs. waterfall in software projects?

• That generally both are utilized, at least at Turing. There is a set deadline and we did our best to plan as much as possible in advance before attempting any coding. However, we also had multiple DTR and stand-ups to discuss our progress and reasses our initial plan. So we used both waterfall and agile processes in completting our project

2. How did you and your group approach project management in this project (what tools did you use, how did you hold each other accountable, etc.)?

• We used GitHub projects. We felt it was advantageous to have our project list along with the rest of our repo. We held each other accountable by communicating our intentions and reviewing our partners code. If a problem was too difficult it was that person's responsibility to report that to the group so that more brains could be applied to the problem.

PD Story Draft by: Michael Schneider

I am an artist. I spent many years honing my skills in illustration, painting and dance. However, as the years went by it became more obvious I needed to transition to the digital realm. I started this journey by acquiring a deep knowledge of Photoshop. This certainly allowed for growth, however I was hungry for even more. I was aware of website design, but didn't know how to tackle the problem. I spent more than a year practicing tutorials and picking up some basic HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Still, I couldn't do much beyond producing and hosting simple sites for family and friends.

I decided my biggest shortcoming was not having a network of like minded individuals in reach. More than a few acquaintances recommended I explore Turing, a software and design school. On my first expedition to the school I realized these were exactly the people I was seeking. Now some months into studying my acquisition of new skills has skyrocketed. Once simple websites have blossomed into p

1) Send a quick letter to Zane, Adam, Eric and Jared, all software developers
2) Would like to have a quick chat about how they started their first jobs, what support they received once
    on the job
3) Will contact Zane by Monday sept 9th
4) Whatever advice he has, I'll make some notes to keep things in mind as I reach out for advice from my other
    contacts as well
5) This should build up to having some job shadows and broadening my research, where I'd like to apply to.
6) rough draft:
