Overview
My general role involves coding, debugging, collaborating, and learning. Mornings often start with emails and standup meetings, followed by focused work on new features or bug fixes. Midday brings calls with the team to discuss problems and solutions, while afternoons involve detailed design and feedback gathering. Evenings are for reviewing work and ensuring that the work is completed.
