WEEK 1: Feature learning & Scheduling self-reflection

Week ZERO Video

This week has two main focuses.

The first, in following the study-gude & roadmap to take the time to learn the syntax of basic commands you might be faced with in your code interview. Other than a brief overview, the work on that front will have to be your own.

Once you acknoweldge that the learning has to happen, it's on you to just do it.

The second, delve deeper into the concept of professional self-reflection as a practice borrowed from teaching which I don't see discussed extensively in computer science & software engineering.

What is Professional Self-Reflection

The ability of a teaching professional to critically, realistically and constructively review one’s own performance in order to take necessary actions to improve abilities and/or maintain motivation toward teaching and learning goals[1]

Learning Objectives

  1. Acknowledge the need to memorize some language syntax for a codeinterview evaluation
  2. Know the definition of Professional Self Reflection (PSR)
  3. Schedule a weekly time block to engage in PSR set a reminder
  4. Engage in a round of PSR as a practice. Share if comfortable

Discussion questions

  1. If you're going to work in Big Tech do you need to be hyper-driven?
  2. Big-tech salaries are commensurate with practicing doctors and lawyers while taking months as opposed to decades to prepare for. No question really, I just think that's awesome and inspiring.
