Sally and Joël kick off a new season of the Bike Shed by asking the question, what exactly is it that we as developers even do around here?

Together they discuss their roles as developers, how their workflows and skills have changed over time, the value of context and experience when evaluating different solutions to a problem, why so much of their work revolves around googling error codes, and giving some advice to aspiring junior developers.
