Code Retreat

  1. Problem: String Kata Challenge (From Week 1)
  2. Process: Involved 30 minute iterations, where we would pair up with a new person each time. Within that 30 minutes, we were tasked with attempting to solve the problem, given the constraints. In each iteration, more constraints would be applied.
  3. Constraints:
    -> Methods can only have up to 4 lines of code.
    -> No using mouse/trackpad.
    -> No Regex.
  4. Thoughts: Personally, I really enjoyed the process of attempting to solve the given problem with constraints. I felt it added to the complexity of the problem. In addition, I learnt different ways of approaching the problem from my peers which was very beneficial. The only criticism I have is that several other proteges and I had previously completed the same problem, so when introduced to the problem, we weren’t able to necessarily come in with a fresh mind (i.e. we already had preconceived notions on how to solve the problem).
