I agree. I'm actually trying to model more of this mindset into the curriculum.

Yeah after the curriculum, the students transition to using typescript. It is a natural progression towards wanting to type your function arguments and return values for clarity and consistency.

Exactly. Which is why c0d3.com emphasizes understanding users and working together as a team. All code contributions are code reviewed and there is code coverage: https://github.com/garageScript/c0d3-app/pulls?q=is

`Part of being a more senior engineer is to be able to admit that one was incorrect, learn a lesson, and move on.` I agree. The more I know, the deeper I go to validate my assumptions, the harder it is to share.

Good started templates and really nice suggestions. I work with students who are struggling to come up with an engineering resume (non-traditional coding background) and this will be useful for them. Thanks for writing it!
