A typical day as a developer at Lived would consist of you considering how to implement new features and requirements, working with the wider team to solidify your understanding of the task, and then diving into the code to write some poetry. You’ll occasionally be pulled into meetings where appropriate to bring some perspective, but generally you’ll be able to focus and get into a state of flow.
