OWNING your sandbox.
As software engineers we all like to work on latest technology and coding new applications.
People generally don’t like spending a lot of time maintaining the code.
However, in the world of microservices the owners of each microservice are very well known and defined unlike in the world of monolithic applications. That means that you own it in the true sense.
You own the code.
You own the QA environment.
You own the Stage environment.
You own the production environment and all the errors that come along with it :)
On positive note, you have a lot to be proud of and you can turn it into opportunities :)
You own something that is contributing your company’s customers and what you do responsibly affects the lives of many people in a positive way.

You may be wondering what the Daylight saving time has to do with a software engineering state of mind. When thinking about writing this article, at first I thought to start with the following joke and I am: “ Did you know that the Daylight saving time was started because a software developer coded a function that does smart timezone and configurable calculations and then this developer created a problem to solve to use the algorithm; hence, the Daylight saving time was born. ” This is a joke, but on a more serious note , this brings me to a state of mind in software engineering that make this joke a reality to some degree. How many times did we find ourselves in situations where we learned something new in programming and we looked for ways to apply it at any cost? How many times did we see a cool new feature from a creator of a framework and we decided to use it even though that was not the right solution for the problem or maybe there was no problem to solve in the ...
