Project Feed Back

What went well?

I believe that we both learned a lot during this project. New features and how to implement them. We learned how to work in an all remote setting and I believe it well given that the world is ending. We didn't have any merge conflicts and were able to use the gems effectively. We started collaborating at the end and that went very well, we should've done more paired work reflecting on the project.

What could be improved?

Our time management could use some work, the transition from in-class to all-remote was hard and we didn't reach out for help as much as we should when we were stuck. That ate up a lot of our time to work on the project and I think both of us felt like remote learning was very difficult. Thinking to the future, having a set schedule is important to maintaining a healthy mental and physical state. Given all the stress this should improve some aspects of our lives.

Professional Story

Everyone has a talent and mine seem to be working with my hands. I had an interest in mechanics and always seem to be fiddling with my car. When I decided to join the military it wasn't surprising after taking the ASVAB it showed I had an aptitude in the mechanical and electrical field. I spent four years in the Airforce working with aircraft structures. Had a lot of interesting experiences and learned a lot. If you’re kinda familiar with airplanes the f-16 and a-10 are among the many aircraft I got to work with in my time in the military. Working with airplanes was great but it did come with a lot of work hazards. Part my job was to repair or craft part for the planes and that required working with and being around dangerous chemicals and materials all the time. I got into programming because it’s relatively safe compared to what I did before. I am able to be creative and work with my hands but in a different way. Technology has always been an interest of mine. Getting to know how

Agile & Feedback Reflection Guidelines
In interviews, you'll be asked about how you approach working in projects, and being able to describe how you utilize agile processes is a great way to help you stand out as a junior developer candidate. This reflection is meant to help you develop this skill.

With that in mind, please answer the following questions in your own gist about your group project:

What have you learned about the use of agile vs. waterfall in software projects?
An agile process is more ideal because it requires more review and keeps the end product dynamic. I learned 
that if split the project into processes and have others review the little chunks of work you or your 
group members accomplished, it will ultimately make the end result what everyone wanted to be, especially in 
a large project.

Battleship was my first partner project and my second project at Turing. This project objective was to
build the game Battleship on the terminal using Ruby 2.4.1. This game would be played by a user against a 
computer coded by myself and a partner. My partner and I used the driver, navigator method to complete most
of this project. We've also tried using zoom for times when we could not meet. We've followed a prompt to
build this game and when running into challenges we've had to come up with some creative ways to solve issues.
Over all this project fun to work on and was a great way to experience working with someone on the same code.

This was my first paired project and was overall a valuable experience to learn how to code with another 
person. In the future working with other people and other people's code is common, so there was a lot to
learn from making Battleship. If I were to work on this project again I would like to try to organize more
