🤓И пусть сегодня будет день апдейтов!
Как говорить о планах во время daily или status/progress checking meetings:
📌Today I`ll start on the code to read the grades from the legacy database, writing tests at the same time, as I’ve started learning.
📌So, I`m going to move this task to ‘Completed”.
📌Today I`d like to keep working on this if it`s OK with you, guys.
📌Today I want to keep working with Carla on the database contention issue with Update Grades.
🤯... и о трудностях:
📌My impediment is that I don't understand some of the recent changes Eddie made to the build file.
📌I`m uncertain whether the automated tests should go all the way to the database tables written by the legacy system, or I should just use mock objects.

Раз уж мы заговорили о собеседованиях, делимся целой историей с фразовыми глаголами и идиомами:
After the IT school, I was turned down by lots of companies before I was finally taken on by a VR startup. I thought it was a nine-to-five job but I was wrong. I had to work all hours, and our CEO was constantly checking up on me to make sure I was hard at it. To make matters worse, we were dealing with some financial difficulties. Once I realized that I wasn’t cut out for the job, I decided to hand in my notice. But before I had a chance, they gave me the sack – they realized I was hopeless!
📌to turn sb. down – to say “no” to sb. when they apply for sth.
📌to take sb. on – to employ sb.
📌to check up on sb. – to watch sb. to make sure they are doing their job
📌to be hard at it. – to be working hard
📌to be cut out for sth. / to do sth. – to have the necessary qualities and ability for sth. / to do sth.
📌to hand in your notice – to formally tell your employer that you are leaving your job
