Skill: Learning Through Mistakes

Overview

My learning through mistakes journey demonstrates comprehensive documentation of failures, thinking errors, technical errors, and iterative improvement processes. This skill showcases my ability to analyze failures systematically, implement debugging strategies, and transform setbacks into learning opportunities. Through this process, I learned to identify root causes of problems, document error patterns, develop debugging methodologies, and create systematic approaches to rework and improvement. The progression includes mistake identification, error analysis, solution implementation, and process refinement for future prevention.

Learning Outcome Documentation

From struggling with the commits and having them constantly fail, I successfully learned how to git –force in order to override what is in my current github repository. This reset my github repo back to only what I had forked from the OCS student repo, giving me the room to start fresh, avoid mistakes that I previously made, and commit more often to prevent having to debug a lot of code in case the commit failed.
