02 May 2018 Hello, DevOps enthusiasts! Work. It's something we do for a myriad of reasons. You learn how to work early in life. As a toddler you put your toys away, as a child you have household chores, as a teenager you might get your first part-time job, all the time you're also doing school work, then you get your real job. Forty plus hours a week, 2,000 hours a year, 90,000 years in a lifetime (if you work 40 hours a week for 45 years). That's a lot of time spent working, which is why it's so important to make sure you enjoy your work. "The importance of fun in the workplace" is a quick read that goes into the culture of a fun work environment and how to build that. Even if you know how to have fun and are a fun person, it is helpful to everyone on the team to bring the fun to work. Topics applicable to software development include pair-programming, test-driven development, and automation.
