Building Taps w/ Singer

This guide will walkthrough the basic construction of a singer tap that uses an api endpoint as its data source. Singer Taps can be built to pull from many different types of endpoints but most commonly used is an api.

Mashey Required Setup: - Python 3.8 + - Singer-Python - Pytest

Week 4 and Week 5

  • Tracie I apologize but with everything that went on job hunt was the last thing on my mind so Week 4 and Week5 are mostly regarding reflections and the bits of outreach I was able to do opposed to any actual job hunting.

  • Mock Interviews Reflections -

    • Weekly Job Interview Reflections -
      • I believe my strongest part of my mock interviews came from the technical questions. I have kept a sheet of all the technical questions that the instructors gave to each student and have researched and filled out the answer to those as I went. I think that this was a strong point because these questions are things that I can research and learn and don't really require personal reflection. The answer is what the answer is. I don't have any trouble exiting a question I don't know nor do I have problems asking for clarifing details
  • When it comes to the behavioral questions, my weakness shows. I have a really hard time talking about specific times for each question. I have found that

##Process##

  • We pair together very well. We think along the same lines and often times are on the same wave length.

  • We could be done.....

##Communication##

  • We are good at over communicating our needs and schedules so there hasn't been any conflicts with that yet

Class and Lesson Feedback

There was a consensus that there was a big disconnect between the lesson and the learning. It felt that the majority of the lessons became tutorials of checklists instead of a task instead of learning the information. The extra layer of disconnect made it hard to understand WHAT questions to ask. We felt that we did a decent job at asking questions but when it came to the project those questions in the end felt like the wrong ones to ask and we weren't able to get the needed information.

The way the current schedule isn't much different than what an in-person Turing schedule would be BUT 8 hours of in-person class is drastically different then 8 hours of straight screen time. In person, yeah we are still on the computers the majority of the time but visually there was much more to focus the eyes on (whether they use the whiteboard, just beginning able to listen and take notes, etc). It feels that if you aren't starring at the the screen for t

The parts of an HTTP Get Request

The get request starts with the GET http verb, and that goes through the path or URI and then to the controller action and finally ends up at the view.

The actual GET request includes the HTTP version and the host.

get '/welcome', to: "controller#index"

An example 200 response would be something like going to www.google.com (google.com would get a 300 redirect response). -

Reflection on working in Teams:

What particular skills, talent, or perspectives do you bring to a team?

  • When working as in a team, I typically bring the ability to see the large picture of the project and make sure that the individual pieces fall into place. With this perspective, I typically land in a role of group leader and do my best to make sure each individual is supported for their talents or what they would like to focus on.

What have you learned about building software in pairs and teams?

  • Working in a pair and a team is drastically different then working solo. One thing is that to work efficently each person works on a different part. These different parts are often times linked and different teammate speeds can lead to having to do more dream designing or testing for features that aren't quite in the code yet.

Project Reflection

What is one thing that went unusually well during this project?

  • The team started very strong with a very clear DTR and the entire group was very good at working together to review larger pull requests and made sure to make actual inline comments as they went through it all.

In hindsight, is there anything you would have done differently?
