Software Developer. I try to get at least one thing done a day at work. Low hanging fruit first. A day may be a feature request, a meeting to go over new features/bugs in a system. I do maybe 4 hours of actual coding a day. But I do save the entity I work for literal millions/hours a year automating some of their workflows. I open source a large part of the work I do, which is supported by my employer, so thats nice.

I am pretty blessed honestly. Its a good gig.

    Curious - how does the open sourcing part of the gig work?

    I make a useful thing at work. I make it public as a library. Everyone profits. Thats about it.

    The only hard part is to make sure work is ok with me open sourcing whatever im building out. Sometimes Ill need to sanitize a couple of things, but thats about it.
