Healthy Workforce Culture

Hey everyone! Today I would like to blog about an important topic regarding the workforce – group projects! On certain occasions, we will be tasked to work with others in the tech industry. I believe that knowing how to develop a project with others is a crucial skill in the workforce because it helps bolster creativity and the success of a product. My recent failure at my bootcamp project inspired me to write this post. I was not satisfied with the finished product and I did not get along with my group during the entirety of the project development, so I hope I can help those who are facing the same issue by writing this post. I also hope to learn from this experience and perform better in future group projects.

Community learning is an essential component for successful engineering organizations because it emphasizes a nurturing culture for those who are eager to learn. These communities are composed of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and have a desire to do it better as they interact regularly. Developers need to come together because they can share their insights and experiences to identify emerging problems and the best possible solutions for those problems. “Communities of practice encourage developers to share their mistakes and what they’ve learned from them, so the whole community can benefit from those learnings”.

Reading this article from Stack Overflow reiterated my desire to make tech more accessible for everyone. Being a first-generation immigrant makes me understand the privilege we have here in the US to be able to have access to technology and solve problems through coding. Coding is a really important skill to learn in today’s society and I think a lot of society’s problems could be either solved or reduced if we had a lot more developers in the workforce. For this reason, I want to spread the growth of coding communities and make others aware of the importance of coding.
