Hello, a blog for the third week; it seems cluttered because I am almost done with school since this is the end of February. Anyway, I’m starting to read chapter 3 for apprenticeship patterns. While reading, I found one of the helpful patterns was “Sustainable Motivations.” It has a set of motivations that can withstand the inevitable challenges and difficulties in pursuing a particular craft or profession. In the context of software development refers to a group of internal and external factors that keep software developers motivated and engaged in their work over the long term.

Sustainable motivations can vary from person to person. Still, some common examples include a passion for programming, a desire for mastery, a sense of purpose, financial stability, social recognition, and a positive work-life balance.

Even characteristics of sustainable motivations are resilient, flexible, and adaptive, allowing developers to overcome obstacles, stay committed to their craft, and continue to grow and develop their skills.

Creating motivations is crucial in software development (challenging and complex), requiring high technical adaptability. By cultivating sustainable bases, developers can avoid burnout, stay focused on their goals, and build fulfilling careers that bring personal and professional satisfaction.

However, I would like to disagree with some parts of the pattern as having different motivations for their work, such as personal fulfillment, without necessarily aspiring for mastery or long-term growth. Because the way is overly simplistic or idealistic, it assumes that motivations are static and can be easily categorized and controlled. However, the truth is motivations can be complex, dynamic, and influenced by various internal and external factors that are often beyond our control.

Has the practice caused you to change how you think about your intended profession or how you think you will work?

Sustainable Motivations can be a valuable framework for individuals who want to maintain their motivation and passion for their work over the long term. It emphasizes the importance of having a strong personal connection to my work and aligning my motivations with values and goals, which can help me overcome challenges and stay focused on long-term objectives. By adopting this mindset, individuals may be more likely to approach their work with a sense of purpose and commitment, leading to greater satisfaction and fulfillment in their careers.

 Hello, a blog for the second week; it seems nice and claims a little bit. I’m starting to read chapter 2 for apprenticeship patterns. While reading, I found one of the helpful patterns was “Record What You Learn.” It is nice to look back at the progress from the start and end with some struggles for learning something every day to help keep track of things that progress to improve at working efficiently. There is another pattern I would like to disagree with my opinions is “Reflect as You Work”; because it made me have doubts like “why didn’t I do this earlier or how couldn’t I think of it.” regardless, it is nice to see what you have to learn, and done for this to work.

Has the practice caused you to change how you think about your intended profession or how you think you will work?

For developers of these practices, it helps for using the patterns from this book can have several benefits. One of the benefits was to advance their understanding and proficiency in software engineering, and lifelong learning helps keep up to date on software engineering trends and technologies. It was even helping to gain more self-assurance in their skills by offering developers a collection of best practices and productivity-boosting strategies.

Those who want to become experts in software development can prepare to devote themselves to continuous learning and practice because the industry is challenged and undergoing rapid change. In this process, focused practice and reflection are both essential steps. Reflection entails taking time to pause and think about one’s knowledge and practice, evaluating what one already knows and what one may do to improve on a crucial stage in acquiring mastery since it enables the person to assess their abilities and pinpoint areas for development.

Purposeful practice and reflection lay the groundwork for domination in software development since they both emphasize enhancing knowledge and skills over time. On the other hand, deliberate practice is setting aside time to practice and hone abilities, gradually increasing over time. To attain mastery, one must engage in this kind of exercise since it makes the person pay attention to their areas of weakness and invest the time to strengthen them.
