>> What does your company do?
I currently work in a group that provides cloud services for mobile developers.
>> How long have you been working for?
Company 10y, this group 2y.
>>What do REALLY do?
Software. Various aspects of cloud services. Can be a system design from scratch, adding a feature or a subsystem, or simplifying an existing system. A common aspect for most of my work is scalability, sometimes it measured by qps (order of 7 digits), sometimes by number of clients (order of 10 digits) and sometimes by the data size (order of 16+ digits). Smaller projects I do myself, for larger systems I get a team). I try to do actual work rather than just pushing papers.
How's an average day there?
Work is done between meetings and the number of meetings depends on the project scope, number of stake holders and the project stage. I try to keep formal meetings to minimum and ask people to justify meetings they schedule. I start working in the morning at home, after the commute gets better I drive to the office (~11:30am), work, eat lunch , keep working, drive home, and sometimes keeps working at home. Typically I stay a day or two a week and work from home using a remote connection to my Linux box at work which saves me the driving time (got my current car 1.5 years ago and it already has 25K miles).
>> Do have lunch all together?
Sometimes we go in large groups (~15), sometimes eating at my desk. It depends on schedule and group mood. I never had breakfast at work and rarely have dinner there (I prefer my wife's cooking).
>> Do you stop to eat at all?
Always but sometimes late. We also have nearby a 'regular' restaurant that is opened 9am to 9pm that I like and sometimes I just go there to eat a late lunch.
>> How many women work with you?
Some, but I try to be gender neutral so I don't count.
