It’s been an interesting week at work. Ever since I found out my feature was pulled, I myself have been pulled into a variety of discussions on how it could be saved (or at least put into an upcoming release). It was at a point where I actually had to re-enable my feature early this week before having to pull it out again.
Instead of my usual developer hat, I got to put on a triage hat and went around poking downstream products to see what the problems were, how to fix them, and when they would be fixed. I also had a knowledge-person hat where the managers and architects would come to me for information so they could make their decisions. It’s fun but hectic.
It was especially busy the first two days of this week, because I had previously signed up for a course. Basically I ended up having to spend 9-4 in course, and then another couple of hours after that chasing issues.
