When I have time, I have to constantly develop my skills and learn about new technologies. This could be learning a new language or skill. Tech is always changing and everyday I hear about a new technology or product which I have to learn about and incorporate into my code or service.
Daily stand ups can be confusing as the senior people talk about stuff I usually haven’t heard of.
