I’ve been at Kobas two years now, I previously wrote about my experiences in my first month, so it seemed fitting to do an overview of my experiences since then surrounding the software we use for DevOps.
At Kobas we use continuous delivery rather than continuous deployment, tool of choice; old man Jenkins.
So I’ve talked about time tracking before, however that was much more a “Keep yourself on track / how to know what to bill per hour as a freelancer/contractor”. Today I’d like to share some thoughts on bigger companies and my feelings toward management and time tracking there.
I’ll preface all this with “these are my opinions, I’m not saying I’m entirely correct here, this is just how I personally feel“.
As a programmer I love my craft, I spend hours playing around with new technologies, learning new languages and wrapping my head around computer science concepts. I’ve always known programming would be my career from a young age, finding it amazing that people would pay me to do what I love to do anyway. 🙂
So I’ve been working for roughly a month at Kobas now, I think things have been going very well and I wanted to highlight what I’ve been working on for the last couple of weeks.
For anyone that doesn’t know what Kobas does, it is a hospitality management solution covering; stock control, rotas, HR, EPoS, customer loyalty and much more. It’s actually a very useful piece of software for clients, allowing them to gather lots of data from all areas of their business and providing a cloud interface that outputs that data in fancy reports. After seeing it in action I find it very surprising that not all businesses use this as it can really help you to increase your profits and avoid wasting money unnecessarily.
