A day at the office

After grabbing a cup of coffee, the daily stand-up with your team starts. Julia enthusiastically mentions her latest work on the visual design of the new login page. you pair program with Jaimie on a story to actually log in via a social media account. After some fiddling around and writing code, you verify it's done and functionality is deployed to production. Whew, it's already time for lunch!

In the afternoon it's time for your 1:1 with Victoria. She wants to have a chat about things she'd like to improve upon Together, you come up with some actions and you share your experiences on the value of pair programming and how it helped you as a developer. You immediately put it into practice by pair programming with her on her current story.
