I wrote down everything I did as a software engineer for a month

Learn what it's really like to be a back-end software engineer as I go through all programming and non-programming tasks I completed this month. Every day as a software developer is different since there are different phases of the software development lifecycle. By taking the average of all the things done over a month time span, it's time to discover the reality of being a backend software engineer.

I find it really helpful. Thanks for the spreadsheet template.

[@rjcdz06]

Thanks Kathryn, it's so useful! 🙌

[@WisdomofHal]

I really like how this is extremely data driven!

[@elycode1173]

Thank you.😀

[@sankalpmukim1052]

This process helps me become a better developer and become more accountable for my time!

Nice charts at the end, I love it. A clickbait title would have been more appropriate, because it unveils untold things: "The secret life of a software engineer" or "The truth about being a SE". 😁 Also the summary so true, sadly you cannot be a senior engineer that codes 90% of the time as we all did at the beginning of our journey.

I feel seen whenever you post stuff like this

[@VincenzoDAnielloprofilo]

Really well done, a truly remarkable video. Sure it can be boring for those who are not in the field, but for the insiders it is a bit like looking in the mirror..

[@BrianYatich]

Great breakdown!

[@Zolteey]

Awesome summary. I had to do this recently as well, because we couldn't deliver on time. For me it was 50-60 percent proactive time(35% was effective in Zen-coding, 10% bugfixing, 10% collaboration+devops), rest reactive (emails, meetings, etc.) This helped making better estimates. 1 day of work will be 2 calendar days. Are you achieving the goals in the sprints? Do you make good estimates? Are the estimates in complexit, like story points, or you use days/hours?

[@Zolteey]

Also helped in feeling better, because I saw the whole picture, and I understood, I really couldn't have done it that much better.

[@drakata27]

I watched several of your LinkedIn learning java videos and I gotta say you sound like a robot in those so I had to check if you are not AI 👍

[@ziadabouwasaa8206]

Finally someone said it.

[@opmfa1850]

could you please elaborate on career development??

[@BN-cr3el]

I did it for 90 days and then I stopped because it was becoming repetitive 😂

[@Mike-cp1tj]

dude why are u still in tech?! you look extremely tired, get some sleep

[@federico7014]

You are not blonde you dye your hair. Why fake your hair color? Does it matter that much to you?
