Senior Remote Contract Software Developer here. I'll describe yesterday because it's a fairly common day for me.

  • Check slack for any mentions that I missed while I was sleeping and reply where necessary.
  • Check devops channels to see if anything is on fire.
  • If something is on fire, I start investigating and fixing.
  • Check email and reply where necessary.
  • Check github for relevant correspondence and reply where necessary.
  • If nothing is on fire, I start knocking out github issues that are assigned to me.
  • Grab a bite for lunch.
  • East coast is usually waking up now.
  • Jump into a meeting and meet new client for project I'll be taking lead on.
  • Start the process of setting up for the project (get github access, PM software, etc).
  • Go back to knocking out github issues.
  • Attend the daily development team stand up.
  • Go back to knocking out github issues.
  • Ride off into the sunset, because I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride.
