But the content is important no matter what you exact role is. So here’s the opportunity that you have as a bottom-of-the-pile developer: making connections!!! But if you come to me with a request rather than a defined task, I say that a senior digs in; asks questions; finds out more; challenges assumptions; takes steps back to look at the broader picture; and does some “systems thinking”, before knuckling down.</description></item><item><title/><link>https://vmac.ch/posts/2023-09-02-just-realised-that-i-ve-now-1693634521/</link><pubDate>Sat, 02 Sep 2023 08:02:01 +0200</pubDate><guid>https://vmac.ch/posts/2023-09-02-just-realised-that-i-ve-now-1693634521/</guid><description>Just realised that I’ve now one month at my new job.
