I actually have not worked with most tools listed or familiar with any of them, but I had this mindset that I can achieve execution of the tasks irrespective of the circumstances surrounding me. Growth mindset came in to play here because at first, I do not know anything about the tools, I did not see it as a limitation but saw it as a means to develop and grow more. After checking the tools listed and the tasks, I was able to determine my skill gap. I dealt with the skill gap issue by first having a comprehensive list of those things which included the use of Express, Mocha, es-lint, coveralls, Mocha and others. After generating a complete list, I reflected on them all, I then researched on google, and looked for materials on those new tools.
I was able to understand some of the tools such as Mocha, Es-lint, and reached out to colleagues who are knowledgeable on those domains for the remaining that were giving issues. The tasks were above my skill level but I embraced them as a challenge. Using the method above really helped my workflow as I was able to flow with some of these tools, and can proudly say these things I saw as a challenge turned out to be an opportunity for growth, and I am willing to take in more of this challenges like this.
In conclusion, developing a fixed mindset retards or does not allow growth. We should be optimistic to learn new tasks every day, with an open mindset, with this there are no bounds to what we can achieve.
