week-7

Hello, final week (seventh). It is spring break week is almost over, even with the book. I got a comment about needing clarification on the chapter 2 blog; I needed to have understood the number of pattern selections as I chose more than one pattern. So I went back to week-1 (chapter 2) for a quick review; I chose one of the topics. It is “The Deep End.”

This pattern connected with me by feeling stuck and needing to challenge myself with more significant projects to grow my skills, confidence, and even a portfolio. By jumping in at the deep end to take on challenging jobs and doing things that push over the limits. It highlights that taking risks is an opportunity seen through anxiety and responsibility to counteract the threats by finding mentors and creating feedback loops. Yet, I agree with aspects of that technique. It shows taking the list of your projects to measure project complexity and other proportions while using this idea to see where your career is heading and make choices based on it.

Have you noticed that the practice has changed how you consider the type of work you want to undertake or your desired career path?

This practice allowed me to jump at the deep end and take on challenging projects for future careers in tech companies. I have developed various skills highly valued in the tech industry of experience in different areas like project management, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration. This can help me become more flexible and better equipped to handle different roles and responsibilities in the future. I am then building a solid portfolio that showcases my skills and experience to possible companies. It tracks projects and provides results to help people stand out and increase their chances of getting hired or promoted. Lastly, taking on challenging projects and pushing to become more confident and stable for tech companies operating and looking for individuals who are fast-paced and rapidly changing environments can settle on challenges and work under pressure. Also, I can become better prepared to guide the injunctions of the tech industry and succeed in my career.

The Long Road Pattern~

Hello!

Welcome back to the blog. Today I’m discussing The Long Road pattern from the book “Apprenticeship Patterns: Guidance for the Aspiring Software Craftsman” by Dave Hoover and Adewale Oshineye.

The context of this pattern is that our culture values quick rises to fame and holds material values.

The problem relating to this pattern is that we have a main goal for what we want to become–for example, a master software craftsman–but there are other people and outside factors that expect differently from you. You may be offered a great promotion and are urged by others to go for that rising opportunity, even though it would derail you from your “end goal”.

The pattern brings up as a solution to recognize that it might not seem like you would match with your end goal, and to also keep looking forward to your end goal. You should prioritize learning opportunities and any other growth opportunities that would help in the long-run rather than taking the higher-salary position or a leading position. For people hoping to hone their skills for something specific, they should be prepared for it to be a lengthy process.

For action, the pattern discusses thinking about your future–what role you may have a decade from now, and what experiences you want to have under your belt decades from now. Imagine you have to write about your professional history four decades from now, what would you want to see? Use that to plan out your career path. 

I think this was an interesting pattern to read about. This is meant for someone really dedicated to having a specific range of skill sets rather than someone aiming to quickly get promoted and become managers or someone higher up. I was thinking about what I would do–do I have a specific thing I want to become, like a master software craftsman? Not really. But it was interesting for this pattern to get me thinking. I do agree that if I wanted to become a master software craftsman, it would be important to not take on a role that is unrelated to using skills relevant to programming or being hands-on with software utilization. It could make you stray away from your path too much and could take away major opportunities for your growth for your career goal. If I end up having something in mind that I really want to become, this pattern will surely be on my mind–to make sure I stay on a path that will help me hone my skills and gain experience necessary for my career plans. I don’t disagree with the pattern since it’s meant for a specific end goal in mind.
