1. Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems

2. Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger

3. Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.

4. Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.

5. Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.

6. Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same

7. Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them
