    Hey guys look, its actually a "day in the life of a software developer" that is actually realistic, they actually work, they joke around (while they are working), they take a break for lunch, and they work some more
    which is supprising to me considering all these interns keep uploading videos on how their day consists of 19 breaks to lay down, play games, coffee, and what not

Being paid 10% of the money I made almost made it worth it, but not quite

    interesting to see how they do it at Amazon. I work in a small webdev company and we do it very similar. My day looks like this:
    9:00 start work by checking emails, chats, see if something very important happend
    9:30 do the job, if something important came up, do this first, if not, continue the job from day before.
    10:00 /at monday: meeting for planning the week
    11:45 daily meeting (except mondays) telling everyone what I am doing
    12:00 - 13:00 lunch break
    13:00 - coding..
    14:00 (one a week) retrospective meeting
    15:00 - 18:00 coding
    What I hate about my job are all the meetings and forced break.. I am not hungry at 12:00 and I don't need 1h break... my brain shuts down at 14:00 - 16:00 and I am not really able to concentrate/code.. this is the time I would love to take a break. 30 minutes.. Not 1h at 12:00.. where I am still highly functional. 15 minutes nap at 15:00 works wonders for me, better than caffeine
