Life of a Software Engineer
Wake up early morning
Take a hot shower!
Go for a short walk
Some yoga, some workout
Some meditation, some music
Open your laptop
Oh no… it’s a dream!
Back back
Rewind please!
Let’s start once again!
Wake up with alarm (beeping)
Snooze snooze snooze zzz…
Finally eyes open
Check Instagram, Twitter, etc
Toss & turn in bed
Finally get up (literally)
Wobbles to the washroom
Looks in the mirror
Oh looks great... no shower today!
Deo left right centre!
Any T-shirt which does not stink is OK
Shoes or sneakers… that’s something special
Ok smart watch connected (health app)
Ready to start the day (noon)
Oh no …it’s WFH
Ok open the laptop (mac)
Slack msg first, then email…
Sips coffee, connects to Spotify
Ear plugs on (max volume)
Morning huddle, no camera!
Git pull push commit
PR requests pending!
UI broken, needs work
Postman API collections not working
Auth changed… as always!
Oh no it’s brunch time!
Zomato Swiggy anything…
Oats, cornflakes, milk, bananas!
Online shopping while munching :)
Oh need to apply this credit card… great offers!
Impulse buy something, its just so cheap
Back to work mode
Time to deploy code
UAT, SIT, etc, etc…
Tester logs some bugs in JIRA
Phew it was working fine!
Oh no… it’s sprint end too!
Ping everyone but no reply :(
Aha… its lunch time (2pm)
But feeling full (burps)
Ok lets just drink some Coke
Code code in VS code…
Finally QA certified build
It’s a good day finally
Push to Production, it’s LIVE!
Phew… it’s late evening
Time for chit chat (channels)
And donuts... nah samosa(s)!
Again Zomato Swiggy something (app)
Finally slack snoozed!
Chrome profile switched
Manager is offline :)
Thank god its Friday!
Pings in Whatsapp friends group
Movie someone… bookMyShow offer!
IMDB ratings good but late night show
Forget it..no Ola or Uber!
Tap tap restless foot
Let’s watch Netflix (paid so much)
Oh this pilot episode looks good
Meanwhile orders some pizza & beer!!!
Damn its 4am!!!
Watched all 10 episodes
But did not checkin code to repo
Aha lets raise a PR!
Finally mac flap closed (smash)
Too tired to brush teeth :)
Falls asleep on the couch!
Wakes up early morning (déjà vu)
Checks all pings…
Time to finally sleep on bed (thud)
YOLO !!!
Once upon a time, there lived an engineer(s) who dreamt big & changed the world we live today.
Everything in this universe was built by an engineer who forgot his/her lunch!
And there are many more living this awesome (above) life right now.
P.S : Every true engineer lived this way someday until (go figure) …
