Measure it, report it, and stay until customers use it. * Identify where the work breaks down in a host team's hands, then correct the cause rather than the symptom. * Partner with UX designers, product teams, and other organizations to deliver complete humorphic experiences. * Transfer architecture and scaling to the product team at the agreed boundary, with the documentation and tests that make the transfer safe. * Contribute your work back into the shared humorphic layer, so the next capability starts from a higher floor. * Learn unfamiliar languages, runtimes, and problem domains as the work requires. * Write tested code, review the code of others, and operate what the Lab runs. * Present the work to the host team, the Lab, and SCORE, and participate in internal reviews. A day in the life Your calendar has two shapes. In a Lab week you write code most of the day. You take a thesis about how a teammate should behave, build the smallest version that tests it, and put it in front of a person before the week ends. You sit with a UX designer to work out how the behavior should feel, not only what it does. In a deployed week you sit with the product team carrying your capability. You watch a real user hit the seam between your work and theirs, and you fix it that afternoon. Expect occasional travel. ## Related Videos - [You are not an AI developer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1148-you-are-not-an-ai-developer) - [Are Code Reviews Worth It?
