To make my day easier, I'd appreciate:
- A great team that I can learn from and debate ideas with. Most of non-working day is devoted to hunting articles to read. If folks on the team share their insights on articles/books, it's a huge bonus.
- An fellow engineer on the team that I can rely on for skillsets that I don't posses. For example, I don't like doing frontend development. If I work with a good frontend engineer, it's a huge bonus for me.
Table stake features in my day-to-day life are:
- A good laptop that works well.
- A reliable and fast internet because
npm install sucks the life out of you on a low bandwidth connection. :P
