I'm interested to hear how a typical working day in life sounds like. I guess being an undergrad, it didn't even occur to me that writing code would be abstracted away from a technical role.
" most of my daily work life has been abstracted away from writing code"
That's why when you say the above, it really piqued my curiosity!
Unfortunately, it's more boring and less technical than one would probably think :) Instead of writing most of the code myself, I communicate with stakeholders, collaborate on specifications and basicly just update and prioritize the backlog for the dev team in co-operation with other product owners.
Luckily, even in enterprisey dev teams, usually you don't have to drop programming if you don't want to! It's a huge blessing that roles in IT are typically fairly flexible.
Hi Antti! 👋 I'm also new to the community!

Hey Leslie - I like that question!

Thanks for sharing Antti! That provided me some insights 😄
