Updated docs
Improved process
While my JD does not contain any development work, we are officially-unofficially(?) doing it. It was something that started in off-hours and turned into one of those "it just needs to happen" kinda things. We've recently started showing that the team does need a developer to at least keep on top of some back-end automation we have that impacts our Partner customers.

In an attempt to put me out there for that kind of role, I've been doing most of the development work that's been needing to occur as well as improving our non-existent documentation. I've created documentation on:

  • Turning a VM from OpenStack into a sandbox/development environment so we're not developing on our local machines.
    • This improves the security of our code and any data that we store.
  • Code/development standards.
    • Not much headway on this part yet, but I've at least started some notes.
  • Implementing code changes.
    • Basically the beginning to the end; creating a GitLab issue and Merge Request, performing the code change and code reviews, and finally merging the changes.

There is still a lot to go but it's been a great learning process so far!
