My New Job Role at Work
April 08, 05 by kenrichI guess I really haven’t mentioned it here before, but since most of our developers have left my company, I have been designated the official bug-fix handler. This means that I work solely on problems in our code developed by other people.
I’ll admit that I am responsible for developing a lot of the code. It’s simple enough to work on my own code, but every time I have to fix a bug in some other area of the application, I really have to run a lot of tests and study the code in order to understand how everything works.
The strange thing is that most of the bugs that are being reported are in other people’s code and not mine. This makes my job even more difficult. Anoter negative aspect of this new job role is that I don’t get the time to learn new technologies or to really be creative in developing new features. But I guess if they haven’t noticed my creativity in the past four years, I don’t think they ever will.
