Keeping a Changelog at Work (2020)


What did you do at work today? How about last week? I spent a couple of days in quarterly business reviews, and wrapped up yearly planning activities for AWS Data Exchange and AWS Marketplace. I also added some unit tests to a project that I am onboarding into.

It shows that maintainers truly care about customers - making it accessible and easy to understand the changes across multiple releases. For example, I spent a huge amount of hours in training, set up a laptop backup drive, and made my first non-trivial code change during week 2. I always pay attention not to include any confidential information, such as names of candidates interviewing with AWS or referring to customers.
