Member-only story
Many years ago I was working for a software development company doing software development. To remain anonymous and retain a bit of privacy for the company I worked due to a matter of respect I will not disclose this particular company but feel free to stalk my LinkedIn and guess what company I am referring to.
So what is the story here then?
I was working in a relatively small team of 6–8 software developers. We bonded very well. Quickly, collectively we realised most of us share the same outlook and similar mindset on the various software development topics. We have the same views on software professionalism.
Socially wise, we regularly had team lunches. We ate out a lot.
We trolled to our nearest food market and sat on the grass of an area having a picnic during the summer days. We held frequent social gatherings. We played pool and table tennis in our company’s office social area during and after working hours. Ah — how fun it was!
