A Day at the Office
You enter the office and read an email from a sales engineer asking when his customer can expect a softwareupdate for the Apache webserver to be released. You check with the QA team the current progress oftesting Apache and reply with an estimation to the sales engineer. After that you meet with colleaguesfrom other teams to evaluate the impact of a requested version update for a postgreSQL. You find out thatthe newer version has a risk of an incompatibility with older 3rd party applications. You come up witha counter proposal that is compatible and satisfies the requester’s needs. Just before lunch, you review acouple of updates submitted by development teams. You categorize these updates by customer impact andtranslate their changelog entries into documentation which describes the changes from a customer perspective. You go for lunch with a team member to one of the restaurants nearby the office. As the place is popularamongst SUSE employees you run into colleagues from another team and have a conversation about the latesttechnologies developed in their area. After lunch you have a meeting with the QA team leads to check thecurrent progress of testing, you point out some updates which need to be tested with a higher priority becausethey are required to fix severe bugs. In the afternoon, you realize that a problem which is usually foundduring testing by QA engineers could be checked at an earlier stage. That’s why you focus on improving theinternal tools and automated checks. Your Python code is reviewed by a colleague immediately and you candeploy it to production before you leave the office.
