week2

I got to start on the 2nd project of the semester with a partner. I haven't had a programming partner in such a long time, and the times I have done pair programming it wasn't with a friend. But this time, I did pick a friend as a pair programmer and it was really enjoyable.

I feel like it was a good pair because we were both concentrating and wanted to get the project done. But at the same time, we were both relaxed and had a good time because we still had a lot of time left.

I never used a source control before with a partner, and I found it to be really useful to use Git. We would split some of the work like coming up with unit tests for particular cases, so that we can put down all the corner cases that we can think of. Then we came up with unit tests together to see if we could think of more together. But it was very easy transition to merge our work together.

So far, I haven't been really enjoying writing the unit tests. I feel like I haven't had too many problems with the functions and it seems useless. But perhaps, I'll come to appreciate them later when the projects get more difficult.

The reading has been pretty good, I feel like I knew most of the material, but I can see a lot of new information coming that I'm excited to read about. The papers have been pretty good too, and I look forward to reading more of them.
