A day in the life

You start your day by updating the tasks and stories that you own on the team sprint board, then you participate in the daily meeting where you provide updates and you align your priorities with the team's priorities.

You spend the next couple of hours coding a part of a new feature, then you submit your code for review. Later, you do a thorough review of the code of one of your team mates, adding insights related to their design, the maintainability and the security of their code.

After lunch, you work on a ticket from the team's queue and after the initial investigation, you call a meeting with engineers from other teams to clarify the path of action.

You respond offline to a question from the product team and you send an email to the leadership pitching an idea and a plan of action on how to improve an operational aspect of the services your team owns.

You end your day knowing that you were able to move the needle once more.
