First week on a software team

Hi, I'm Maya, and this is my first week as a developer on a small software team.

Every morning at nine thirty, we have a short meeting called the daily stand-up.

Each person answers three questions: what did I do yesterday, what will I do today, and is anything blocking me?

Yesterday, I fixed a bug in the login page, and today I'm going to write tests for it.

My teammate Sam said he was stuck, because the staging server kept crashing.

Our team lead didn't try to solve the problem during the meeting.

Instead, she asked Sam and another engineer to pair up right after the stand-up.

We have a release on Friday, so nobody wants a surprise at the last minute.

The meeting only lasted ten minutes, and everyone knew exactly what to do next.
