It was my sixth day at work and I did not touch any code today either. Instead I followed up and checked various statistics and went through bug reports, and held an almost two-hour intro to our product for a new employee, and then joined the team for a welcome lunch for the new employee, and then prepared for a customer meeting I am to have tomorrow. And that meeting is scheduled to last 4 hours so there won’t be any coding done tomorrow, either.

The new joiner, by the way, is going to be in charge of customer support, help files, and other such stuff. Handing over the responsibility for customer support from the developer team to a dedicated support person will be such a good thing. Getting her up and running will take a lot of my time but the potential gain in productivity over a longer time is huge.
