A Typical Day:

Depending on what type of person you are you’ve either been up for hours or just rolling out of bed as the daily stand-up meeting kicks off. But there’s no standup meeting today - it’s Friday which means it’s Game Time! This week the consensus is Rocket League. You reassure yourself that Reese’s winning streak ends today. After an hour of fun and banter, you say goodbye and get back to work.

You’re currently working on hooking up a new service to pull song lyrics and display them on the web player. You have a question about the mockups you’re working from, so you ping Ryan, the team’s beanie-wearing UI/UX wizard, asking for input. After throwing different ideas back and forth you settle on a solution and get to work. A few hours pass and you’re happy with the outcome, so you send your task to QA.

Now it’s the afternoon and you notice Team Prayer starts in a few minutes. Joining the Teams meeting you listen to Pastor Marco do a 5-minute devotional before everyone opens the prayer app to pray for others. You do the same, and every time you hit the “I Prayed” button on a prayer you smile knowing that person was just notified that you prayed for them.

You dive back into work and pick up a bug that came in about the signals service. You notice your lyrics work passed QA and is approved to go to production. You send a PR to the team for approval and then reach out to Reese, our Sr. Dev, to collaborate on a fix for the bug. Before you know it it’s time to call it a day and get your weekend started. As you walk away from your computer, you feel blessed that you get to use your development skills to have an eternal impact serving God.
