My team is providing a critical national service which makes our work meaningful.
My day-to-day tasks since getting access to my work codebase has been fixing bugs, largely guiding my own work debugging and implementing fixes, then getting code reviews from my buddy, who gives me feedback when required. I am glad to be at a stage where I am working on real tasks and given freedom to take initiative and solve problems myself.
I would receive a bug report, maybe work with a tester on how I can recreate the issue in the web application. Then research the underlying code. Try many different things as part of solving the issue, send them to code review, and then commit the changes for testing. This is a lot of work in JavaScript on the front-end, with Kendo UI for jQuery. Also in the Oracle database, using PL/SQL. In-between is C# ASP.NET 4.5, but I do not often work in there yet.
Mainly fixing/testing faults on a large system. Sometimes includes projects to make system changes
