Demo Day!

Last month my fellowship with CodeCollab came to an end. It was a great opportunity to grow as a developer. The fellowship was full of learning.

I collaborated with a diverse team. We all gained experience not only working remotely quite useful nowadays but also working in different timezones (9 hours apart). We used GitHub as our collaboration tool. We used GH to keep track of the code and as a task manager. We had all the tasks, features, and bugs we needed to take care of and we held most of the discussions about them there.

I learned how to prioritize tasks and manage workloads.
I also learned how to be confident working with the tech stack that I wasnt familiar with. It was intimidating at first, but then I realized that all the frameworks have something in common.

I also got to experience the power of testing. It became one of my favorite parts of the development process. I learned how to give empathetic feedback and receive feedback with grace. It was difficult to review someone elses work at first, but it became easier with more experience. I learned how to take ownership of the App as well.

We finished our fellowship with Demo Day. It was a great way to show a tech community what we had developed and how much we had learned and grown from the experience. I most appreciated how much you can learn from a team with many different backgrounds and experiences.

Now is to the next adventure!

Cheers!
