One of the things I did was helping at a company I contracted at for a few months. The company did these pdf invoices and the design team would change the design weekly. And there was a junior dev working there and she spent 4 days a week trying to get these new designs into html to generate the invoice and convert to PDF. She was quite down because she felt like she was missing out on working on stuff she could learn from. So I went talked to the design team and got them to generate their designs as Adobe forms with named fields. Then I sat with the dev and we implemented in about 2 hours Adobe form field data and outputting a pdf. Then each week she got given a new form. Double checked the fields. And then replaced the form. The weeks that followed she would spend 1 hour a week doing her task and was able to work on the main application and get real work. Edit: wow people have contributed a lot of awesome stuff. I feel like I haven’t contributed anything now haha. I just picked this particular story because I felt like I helped someone out of a crappy situation.
