  • For our capstone project, we have to write code for sensor components in the design. It was my responsibility as well as another team member to take care of the code. At first, we would constantly talk to each other to ask each other what the other did in the code. We would always need to understand what the other wrote because neither of us really understood what the other was trying to accomplish. It went on like this for about a week until we both decided to start writing comments in our code. After that simple method of logging, we saved so much time from needlessly cross-referencing and immediately were on the same page. I knew what code he was writing, and he knew what code I was writing. Logging that kind of data was very useful because it got us on the same page. We split the code up as alpha versions, e.g., v0.1, v0.2, v0.3, etc. This was to help us keep track of each iteration. Logging helped me save time and provided a reference for each bit of work we did during the duration of the project.
