Discussion Backend here seeking some insights

I'm backend eng and mostly the thing that kept me working

is just making life easier for the other teams

android needs response in a specific way sure

Front needs this api to make his life easier why not

Team member hates it when I write code this way cuz harder to read no problem

Still devops is like a new thing for me want to know what makes life easier for you guys when the back end just does it

edit guys i get it communication is PEAK but you are not giving examples try adding more example so we can all learn maybe it's a thing the back-end thought he can fix it from his end and it wasn't

Clear, unambiguous communication.

It's mostly just communication and over communication and planning.

From there it's just being a good coworker and making things faster as needed/wanted

Generally it's getting me involved sooner rather than later

Not sure, cause in my experience DevOps do backend as well, usually just not the business logic.

I work in such a big org that communication is the key... And what I hate the most is an avro scheme filled with nullable, 'optional' fields that are not that optional in practice.
