    I go thru Stanford CS lectures, they are so much fun when you are bored. Also, always keep you prepared for the worst.

    Usually goes something like this:

    1. Grab a coffee
    2. Go see if the junior programs want help
    3. Escape to get another coffee when bored again

    Normally, it is: run Terraform, complain about JavaScript, get coffee, bathroom, get water, complain about Terraform, and give up and go work on the backend Python.

    1. Grab a quick cup of coffee.
    2. Take a long washroom break and think about some task/programming problem.
    3. Read up on some open source project's internals.
    4. Ask if someone needs help.
