Day 5

We had our first sprint stand-up today! This was new for everyone on the .Net team, but as the concept was simple and communication good, we had no issues with it.

With the first sprint planning being quite thin on user stories, we struggled with choosing tasks that didn't depend on the previous tasks or were ready to be taken on. With limited tasks and unlimited brainpower, we settled on coding in pairs with one person coding and the other observing and vice versa.

The day itself was quite productive, but hasty errors proved to be tough to crack, as the first commit made dealt with a similar issue as the last commit.
One does not simply git push

At the end of the day we voiced our concerns about the bootcamp, the milieu, the people or anything we could think of. All of the feedback was positive and everyone was content.

I for one was exhausted when the week ended, with my mind buzzing with new information.
