Course code: NEAT-1

Years with company: 1

Years programming: 7

Primary programming language: Python

Other programming languages: C++, Java, Javascript, HTML

Unit test harnesses: JUnit, behave, Catch2

Something else: I recently started making ice cream and it's very addicting.

Test practice now: Catch2 at Neato, behave for python side projects

Target system: Ubuntu 18.04, x86_64

Dev tools: Preferred Editor: Sublime Preferred IDE: Eclipse

Build time: 5-30 minutes

Coding standard: Google C++ Style Guide

Function too long: If I follow the google style guide, it's 40 lines. Anything >40 lines usually triggers a "hey do I need a helper method" in my mind. Even though it triggers, I don't always follow it.

Code reviews: I don't feel comfortable nit picking others about coding standards / styling so I focus on regression issues, checking the logic, and optimization.

Code time: 20

Test time: 50

Debug time: 30

Favorite thing about dev: It's fun! I love it when I can look at my code and be proud that I wrote the code well (it doesn't always happen and I can recognize when it's messy).

Least favorite thing about dev: Making suggestions to other developers who have more experience than I do (for example in PRs).

Tdd knowledge: Two quarters in college (so many years ago) required JUnit testing. However, I did not always follow TDD. Sometimes I wrote the code first before writing the tests because I have a tendency to go down rabbit holes.

Why are you attending: It is mandatory for the software team here at Neato, but I am genuinely excited to be getting this training.
