A day in the life
Over the course of a week, this could look like; Monday morning you root caused why some deployments recently failed, and in the afternoon, you made fixes for those bugs. Tuesday and Wednesday you executed a highly sensitive time critical change to production. Thursday and Friday you were developing software with your team to remove humans from the loop on problems like you worked on over the previous two days, driving a common source of error out of the system and improving its reliability.
