**About the Role**

Fast forward 1 year
Thanks for a great yearYour talent and hard work have made you a valuable member of our team.Your time is precious and your managers are constantly debating which tickets to give you next because you complete them with a minimum of fuss and you seem toknow just when to stop and ask for help, so very little effort is wasted.For that, we are forever grateful.

You’ve followed instructions when they were clearly given.You’ve asked the right questions at the right time.You never wasted more than a few hours going down a dead-end before asking for help.You clearly cared about your craft - really taking thetime to learn from code-review kick-backs and advice from your fellow developers.

You took that learning to the next step too.You eagerly participated in our projects where we are constantly finding things to “fix” in our old code just for no reason other than “it needed fixing.”You found reasons to “extract methods” and “rename variables”everywhere.You have relentlessly applied the Single Responsibility Principle everywhere.Of course, we do all of this without fear because we have unit tests and continuous integration systems in place.We deploy new versions of our software many timeseach day, so changes like this happen all the time.

You wrote so many Unit Tests that we’ve had to completely change the way we track and report on them.The software you produce is stable and hardly ever requires rolling back.Probably because you take great care during the QA process.You’ve even takenownership of some part of our workload to the point that it feels wrong to assign those tickets to anyone but you.Nice

You’re constantly asking for new books or training or to leave early to get to a user group meeting.Clearly, you’re eager to learn even more than we can teach youWe think you have a bright future
