# Sprint Retro ## Stop ### Personal - Razi: Using the wrong tool for the job because it's more comfortable to use that tool - Liz: Recording videos ad-hoc - Liss: Hyperfocusing on small-scale stuff - Gene: Holding on to projects, considering projects to be "unfinished" instead of prototypes - Kellyn: - R0an: Sometimes "on-rails" walkthroughs are difficult to follow for novelty-seeking adhd type - Cam: just diving into coding things without specifying what exactly I'm trying to change ### Group - Applying too much time pressure during walkthroughs - Putting walkthroughs "on rails" - Ignoring Chat ## Continue Personal - Gene: Scoping! Being explicit and paring down the number of things comitted to - Liss: Scope, asking for feedback and direction was helpful - Aro: Asking for/receiving a summary of what is going to happen and what the end goals will be and what will be needed before we begin has been helpful Group - Prompt Engineering: Slowing down to make sure everyone got through was really helpful for the class - Prompt Engineering: Planned out classes are helpful - Prompt Engineering: Pre-work, and pre-readings are helpful - Prompt Engineering: Engagement questions during lecture - Prompt Engineering: Poll for questions / misunderstandings ## Start Personal - Razi: - Liz: Record videos in batches - Liss: Focus on the big picture, so you can do the right thing - Gene: Focus on the up-to-date thing, leave prototypes behind - Kellyn: Find a focus, define personal values - Roan: Push code to github, publish on medium and other platforms for discovery, publish work! Hit the post button! - Cam: Spend 60% of the time understanding and making a plan - Cam: Use pomodoros - Cam: Describe commits better! - Liss: Pomodoros too Group - Always push code to github by the end of any mob programming session - On Walkthroughs: Do larger chunks with more time, rather than small chunks, small time, add more customization moments - On Walkthroughs, coordinate with the coders beforehand and get them to familiarize themselves with the content so they can assist the non-coders - Check chat more often
