  1. Move Fast and Break Things. This resonates with me because it's a reminder to not be afraid of making mistakes. Mistakes are the most valuable teaching tools. I also like learn under pressure because, I like to prepare for the worst and get my mind set ready for the challenges I will face in my career. Many times, there might not be time to learn under ideal conditions so adjusting to this mindset puts you a step ahead of the game. I also like don't count the number of hourse Learn under pressure. Dive into large open source projects to bring your features to life Don’t count the number of hours because I'm a big supporter of deep work and the power you can unleash when you really focus.

  2. After reading, consider the idea of checklists. Write a reflection (4-6 sentences) on the benefits of a checklist and how an organizational system such as a checklist might help you first as a student and later as a full-time developer. this was a fascinating article. Checklists are absolutely beneficial. there are many times in the stress of a situation, or even just a momentary lapse where things cna be forgotten adn unecessary and costly mistakes can be made.

a.What is your impression of strengths-based development? What questions do you have about this kind of development? I agree with the idea that what you're passionate about and good at you will do good work in. I like how for ex.fb brings that out of people and gives them a chance to contribute something to their strenghts. Sometimes, it's easier for others to assess what our strengths are than ourselves. Some people don't give themselves enough credit so my question would be about having a balance of external and internal assesments in your strengths.

b.What do you feel are your top strengths? How do you know? I feel my top strenghts are my grit, my focus, willingness to fall and being good at communication and working with others.I know because I have seen it in myself, I have been told it and I feel comfortable at it.

c.How do you hope to develop your strengths for your new career in software development? I hope to continue to push myself, look for ways to grow, welcome feedback from my peers and higher ups and always keeping an open mind.
