Software Engineer at Big Corp. 10:00 - get to work, check email, coffee 11:00 - standup: please the clueless Scrum Master by reciting the amazing work I did yesterday, which he has no clue about whatsoever. Usually finish with a "good job" praise 11:15 - peruse various newspapers 12:00 - check Linkedin, credit card accounts, Reddit/HN 13:00 - have a salad and coffee 13:30 - random crap: failing builds, random requests from people, pointless meetings. Sometimes interviewing people in this slot 15:00 - coffee 15:15 - more pointless meetings and random crap 16:00 - code review other people 17:00 - check the news/Linkedin/Reddit/HN again 18:00 - practice on leetcode (not looking for a job, just do it for fun) 19:00 - actually do some coding for the day 20:00 - call it a day, home. The amazing thing is I still got more work done than most people, mostly because the code I write actually works and takes little time to be reviewed by others. Some people seem to be working all day but spend most of the time fixing their own/other people's crap.
