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.

Hello, Everyone. How are you guys doing? This past week, I read some articles or news related to CS (Computer Science). I finally picked a topic that caught my attention; engineers create 3D-printed objects that sense how users interact. My reason for why and seeing how choosing this article is because it looks cool and relatable for Gamers to use any controller made of small rubber pieces.    Short Summary : The researchers found a way to combine sensing capabilities into 3D printable structures made of constant cells, enabling designers to prototype interactive input devices quickly. Even, Formed a new method to 3D print mechanisms that detect how force applies to an object. Or The structures are made from a single piece of material so that they can be rapidly prototypes. Also, A designer could use this method to 3D print "interactive input devices," as a joystick or a controller. For accomplishing the goal, the researchers blended electrodes into structures made from metam

Hello, I am doing some class activities and looking over some questions ahead to save time for a thing or two. I came across the word "Behavioral Patterns" in class Act. 4 (Model 8); I got curious and looked it up. I found two articles that helped me understand the purposes, Problems with solutions, Real-World Analogy, Structure, Pseudo-code, Applicability, How to Implement, Pros and Cons, Relations with Other Patterns. The Behavioral Patterns are concerned with providing solutions. It is about object interaction - how they communicate, how some are dependent on others, how to separate them to be both dependent and independent, and give both flexibility and testing capabilities—also, the assignment of responsibilities between objects. The Behavioral Patterns cover many small parts to form the full extend of patterns. Like Interpreter, Template Method/Pattern, Chain of Responsibility, Command, Iterator, Mediator, Memento, Observer, State, Strategy, and Visitor. Interpreter The

Hello, and welcome to week six. I'm on spring break this week, so I will experience some activities like going to a resort or doing wild things for fun outside my comfort zone. However, I still need to complete the complex and lengthy tasks of studying and returning to school for some exams and schoolwork related. After finishing the fifth chapter, I'll continue with the book's sixth chapter. I read and picked what stuck with me was the reading selection " Dig Deeper ." This pattern connected with me since it applies to everyone who has engaged themselves in a subject that might be thought-stimulating. Workers may want assistance with code maintenance and clarification of skill levels due to the issue of developers needing a basic understanding of the tools and methodologies. It can stand the resources and knowledge support while putting them above the creative process. One can prepare to support the time and effort necessary to read primary sources, comprehend id
