Observation created over 4 years agoIf you haven't had the pleasure of working with John, in code or otherwise, you're missing out!
He is so skilled at helping me feel like he really is working with me, not like he is dragging me along. When we pair and I miss something obvious, he's great at pointing things out and explaining them in a way that never leads me to feel awkward or stupid.
John is great at bringing brightness to the room/Zoom. His light-hearted nature always keeps the mood positive, even when we are both staring at the screen and have no idea what to do next 😅
And finally, he keeps his opinions weakly held, always being happy to try out another idea/listen to someone else's thoughts rather than claiming his are the best. I feel so valued as his teammate because of this!
Thanks, John, for being so great to work with!
