For the final pattern that I will be writing about for this capstone, I wanted to write about something that I’ve felt for a while, but I did not know if my intuition was correct. I picked this one because of this line, “someone who has never failed at anything has either avoided pushing at the boundaries of their abilities or has learned to overlook their own mistakes.”
I feel that I have faced setback after setback in my life. I like to believe that it helps make me into a better, stronger, and more resilient person. When I struggle to learn something, I find that I understand it more thoroughly than if it came easy. It will also be much less likely to forget.
The struggle is something to be embraced. It should not be a reason to give up. On the contrary, it should be a sign you’re going in the right direction. It’s like a video game where you’re not progressing in the level if there’s no bad guys in the way.
I thought the “action” piece that the authors suggest is an apt one. The long and short of it is that to practice, you should use a text editor instead of an IDE to write an implementation of an IDE in one sitting. Since there is no IDE, it might catch the errors that you would have otherwise overlooked. I have not started studying for my Unix final, and this might be something I might try. However, I think we’re mostly doing things with shell scripts and the like, which is somewhat like a text editor anyway.
I think this pattern goes well what I wrote about in my retrospective just now. For as much as I enjoyed working with my scrum team, we were not perfect. Reflecting on how we fell short will ensure that the next team I work with will be even better.
I find I perform best in the areas that I have reflected the most. A part of it feels like neurotics, but it is important to do it. I reflect on most areas of my life, whether or not I am graded or paid. I feel that it is an important step to self-betterment on the way to self-fulfillment and mastery.
