Apprenticeship pattern: Practice, Practice, Practice

This week I decided to write on chapter five about practice. This pattern really reflects the reality of life. Everything, if we want to master or succeed, we need to practice in order to get better every day. To improve, if you routinely practice something, the likelihood of you doing better on something is higher.

Sprint retrospective #3

This last sprint has been different from the other two. This was our last and we needed to talk and communicate well with the team and know exactly what to do for the last sprint. We started by talking about the issues that we created in the past sprint that we did not finish and

Apprenticeship pattern: Find mentors

This week I read the pattern “Find mentors”. In life, we all need a mentor who will train, and teach us what will become our knowledge tomorrow. Some examples: in schools, universities, at home, our mentors are our teachers, professors, and parents because they teach us and train us to become great people in the

Apprenticeship pattern: Be The Worst

I was reading the pattern Be The Worst which actually explains how it is important to take a step back and improve our skills as Software developers.

Sprint restrospective #2

Apprenticeship pattern: Expose your ignorance

I was reading chapter two on “Expose your ignorance” and got so caught up to it. When working with my team this semester, if there is something that I learned is to ask questions and not be afraid to show my “ignorance” as the book calls it. Sharing and exposing myself helped me understand that

Apprenticeship pattern: Unleash your enthousiasm.

I decided to write this week on chapter two, about “Unleash Your Enthusiasm”. I was reading this and got very interested because it is something that has been an issue for me for a very long time. The excitement that we have when having ideas and want to share them with others is huge, but

The white belt

Today, I decided to read about “The White Belt” in chapter 2 of the Apprenticeship Pattern book. Basically, this chapter talks about how learning a language and becoming good at it can make us feel confident about what we do; until we have to learn another language that comes to challenge us and question our
