Early morning

Scrum daily stand-up meeting

• Strive to talk less than 2 minutes.
• Situation reports for yesterday – what I have achieved, be it reviews, story implementation, bugs fixes, etc.
• Briefly announcing my targets for today: which JIRA tickets or 2nd level support issues that I might need to solve.
• Occasionally: asking present colleagues 1 or 2 questions on certain matters.

Coffee

• 1 cup of double cappuccino with 1 piece of stavia tablet.
• Brought back to my work desk.
• Read my tickets on JIRA for the current sprint.
• Wrote the today’s TODO’s on one Post-It, no more, no less. Stick it to the bottom panel of my main monitor.

Firing up the machine

• IDE
• database client application
• remote SSH client
• bash terminal

Before lunch

Actual works

• Coding, or
• Part 1 of 2nd level support issues: by analyzing log entries of related processes on remote servers or database entries, before executing appropriate measures.
• Part 2 of 2nd level support issues: preparing brief reports, then write e-mail to concerned parties.
• DevOps – attending problematic CI/CD processes on Jenkins.

After lunch

Continuing actual works

• Coffee (see above), then
• Back to coding, or
• Do a coding review, or
• Writing documentation on Confluence (it’s like a Wikipedia): release notes, updating module’s descriptions, or
• Testing
• DevOps – assisting the deployments in different environments

Late afternoon

Cooling down

• Answering emails, if necessary.
• Casual reading on the Internet: tutorials, news, articles,
• Editing or writing articles in Confluence, e.g., Today I Learned
• Summing up the works of the day: writing the talking points for tomorrow’s daily stand-up meeting,
• Turn off the computer, pack up, and go home.
