Preface:
I made a dream to think of what I did before as a software engineer,typically an agile developer.So I got up early — recently,I became a morning guy,aslo I had an interest that I should write down it as a post to cherish the memory of my former partener(paired prorammer) — Charlie,that’s why this post comes from
suddently wanted to post a blog to memorize what’s the day life I was,also to memorize my former programmer – Charlie,a wonderful working experience with him.
So…what’s the real day in my life as an agile siebel programmer,here it is:
1. Went to the office — 8:40am,,,Now I’m a morning guy,I will come to the office around 7:20 am,not sure if the company will pay an extra hour for me..*smile* just joking
2. Opened my browser to check my Jira tasks — they will be listed at my Jira dashborad…Good day!It’s only a less than 8 hours task need to be completed today — Sigh! Recently my windows XP sucks,it took me around 5 mins to boot completely. 8:50am – 9:10am
3. Read the task and think about the design,at the meanwhile,my partner arrived at the office(9:10 am – usually he was)
4. Say “hello” and bring up the conversation about the task 9:10am – 10:00 am
1. The task is similar with the task last time we did,we can refer to the code last time we did,,blablabla…..
duplicate work vs duplicate code
5. Get the latest code from code repository and start to implement (10 – 11:30am)
Shall we refer to the test cases the test team developed? Mostly nope..we are lazy:)
6. Hey,It’s time to lunch, (11:30 ~ 12:30)
From the company policy,we have only 30 mins to have lunch,but who know,,we can leave it early,who knows:)haha
Most of us chrish this time to surf online and buy something on online store or share some good news from internet
7. Continue working(Sigh~!!!) 12:30 – 4:30
Coding is a friend
8. Daily Stand-up 4:30pm – 4:45pm
9. Leave or wait untile 5pm to leave
We can decide by ourselves,sometime,we leave late or early to avoid the traffic jam
Also I googled with “a day in the life programmer”,and found some interesting videos,but you know,China goverment had filtered out some web site(e.g. youtube,twitter,etc),so I have to use the VPN to dial on U.S. network and looked at them,,Very interesting videos:
