Are there coders who worked for a company here?

[WillBeCoder]

I have some questions. What was your typical working day like? What kind of tasks did they want from you in a working day?

 

[lucky.sparks]

Answers will depend a lot on the project, client, and what kind of development is being done. And what type of communication the team uses, e.g. if daily stand-ups are a thing or not.

Tasks would depend on programming languages, e.g. if the dev is creating mobile app, then obviously tasks will differ a lot from a dev whose tasks are to create backend API.

But usually day starts by checking messages, then browsing 9gag/reddit/whatever together with a cup of coffee and then checking jira/trello/asana for assigned tasks and then grinding them through.

Anyhow, if you have specific questions, I can answer them, I had an agency of skilled developers and we did build a good amount of custom projects, including mobile apps and other solutions.

I work something like 8 to 5 with a one hour lunch.

I work mainly in php, javascript and mysql (html also) working on a million plus lines of code web application with a humongous backend in the auto refinance industry.

I fix errors in the code and build out new functionality per user requests (for example adding new columns of data to reports or making the front end web app accept additional input fields).

This is on top of all the admin tasks required (email, meetings, phone calls).

Can you list some specific problems and tasks you solved in a typical day like:

1. Add this from here to there
2. Remove duplicates from a .txt file

And have you ever faced a problem that you couldn't solve and what happened?

What were the hardest problems you solved so far?

A typical day consists of adding new functionalities which highly depend on the project. But again, are we talking about frontend dev, backend dev, or mobile app devs? Almost all projects have some sort of user authorization logic, e.g. login/registration so that is a pretty typical thing on per project basis.

And have you ever faced a problem that you couldn't solve and what happened?

Almost all problems can be solved with one or another workaround. mid/junior devs in general are not very good with that, that is where senior developers/engineers or solution architects come into play and finds the solution.

For me working with unions in mysql makes my mind spin. On another hand, working with problems that just appear to be intermittent are a hard fix. And just in general the bigger the application the harder it becomes to maintain the application. Lots of app have over a million or two lines of code and that's getting pretty big.Those sorts of things.

I am more into web/desktop backend side.

Can you show me some example that a junior couldn't solve? And what do you think about ChatGPT coding? Can it solve most problems? So far, it helped me a lot solving lots of issues and fixing bugs.

Sure, can you take a picture and make it look like it's a canvas image with a few degrees skew and shadow borders using only backend code? No CSS/JS is allowed to get this effect, only backend code.

Example image of end result:

And what do you think about ChatGPT coding? Can it solve most problems?

It can be a great help to search things as it's trained on a large amounts of data, including code examples.

But in general I think it's great for generating ideas, e.g. you ask it for code examples and then you chose what to use and what not.

So far, it helped me a lot solving lots of issues and fixing bugs.

That is great! modern-day programming, haha.

For the majority of this week I've been working on migrating from .net core 3.1 to .net 6 for all products and updating deployment pipe lines with new sdks. Spent some time in meetings planning an up coming ML project and some feature requests.

Not working yet but I have an interview soon. If i'm able to answer your questions a little bit later it would be good.
