What does a software developer do day to day
Have you ever wondered what the software developers in your company or team do day to day?
Here is a short list:
- read emails
- drink coffee
- respond to business requests like support, tech/it questions, "is this possible"
- write comments and update jira cards
- groom, estimate and discuss jira cards
- maintain their local development environment (where the bulk of the work gets done)
- try to replicate bugs
- plan new features out (writing out how things will change and where and how it might impact the system overall)
- write code
- push code to "Pull Requests" (a request for a change in a code base) so other developers can review the changes requested
- test the changes in testing environments
- respond to any feedback
- meetings
- deploy code to production
- monitor logs
- do pair programming and help other devs in the team
- post memes on slack
Surely you didn't believe me when I said it'd be a small list right?
:P
That covers it pretty much - devs what did i miss?
