week-4

 Hello, here is a blog post for the fourth week; I feel stressed and relaxed simultaneously because the beginning of March is winding down for enjoyable activities and nearby spring break.

Now that I have reached the end of chapter 3, I will turn my attention to chapter 4, which discusses apprenticeship models. Throughout my reading, I found a pattern that could prove highly useful; I named it “Find Mentors.” I like this pattern because it starts with becoming a software craftsman; you first need to find mentors. You can do this by enrolling in a training course or teaching yourself independently.

This pattern is one of my favorites because it has a “recommend” option. This pattern appeals to me because it includes a “recommend” option that assists someone who needs direction and assists in making better decisions for entering the tech field or interested-related tech. This helps someone who needs advice and assists in making better decisions for entering the tech field or interested-related tech.

Nevertheless, there are some aspects of the practice that I can’t entirely agree with because there isn’t a lot of information or because it’s uncommon for somebody who needs or can’t have a mentor or guidance because there are a lot of different reasons or options when there is additional time. I like to express my disagreement with these aspects of the pattern in the following way: I could not find and have any mentors. After all, it was covid because it affects people’s attitudes, and they needed to focus on themselves rather than trying to predict what would happen next.

Have you noticed that the way you think about the work you want to do in the future or the career path you want to take as a whole has changed due to the practice?

This practice pushed me to think more about expanding my network connections to get more experience and work alongside people in the same field. For suggested action in finding mentors by signing up for an active mailing list, lurk, and seek outpatient teachers for informal advice at the next conference.

WEEK-3

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.
