Time is such a weird thing. At this point, I'm a little over a month into my apprenticeship with Develop Carolina. WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE??
So far I've been pretty busy. Mondays & Fridays with the Develop Carolina apprenticeship and Tuesday-Thursday with my paired host company. During my host company time I'm learning some project specific technologies as well as participate in daily standups and other team meetings. Right now my time is spent just getting up to speed with what I will need to know as I get onboarded to the project.
My time with Develop Carolina still consists of workshops as well as planning my umbrella project. Right now were in the process of scaffolding our umbrella projects and my partner and I have picked our tech stack and look forward to getting our required technologies together and being development!
Overall, I feel pretty busy. So far, it is a lot of context switching between what we are learning in the workshops vs host company materials. However, I don't think this is a bad thing! From what I've experienced at my host company, context switching happens frequently in software development. So that itself is a learning opportunity! With my current experience some material at my host company can feel overwhelming and difficult to understand but I have reached out when I had questions so far and I'm using the time I have to learn as much as I can.
