So with that nudge in the right direction I was making fast progress on my issues. But the 5th day of programming was weighing on me and by lunchtime my head felt just as agile as a potatoe.
Having a nice lunch helped a bit and I could tackle some more problems. My team was feeling the struggle of becoming a vegetable as well. At some point one of our merges broke our attachment feature. By the time the clock hit 3 there were no more programmers in the room, but potato. Potato everywhere. The productivity dropped off a cliff. I'd say there wasn't a usable line of code written after 3. We actually went to our PO 3 times trying to figure our how to deal with linking our contracts to people working on them.
Luckily enough one of our team members had had a birthday a few days earlier so we had a small break wishing him the best and the Helmes staff had some handmade candy for him. Shortly after this we had a discussion what our next weeks team activity will be and we decided on paintball. Hyped for that!
And the day ended with us filling out the first part of the feedback about our experience here. Totally remembered what we did on the first day, honest.
Do you remember?
