História: Present perfect para experiência e mudanças

Nível: B1

Sharing my background

Before the stand-up, Mariana had a quick chat with her new manager, Daniel. Daniel asked, "Tell me about your experience. Have you ever worked with Go?" Mariana replied, "Yes, I have. I have worked with Go for about two years, and I have also used Kubernetes in production." "Have you ever led a team?" Daniel asked. "I have led a small backend team since 2022," Mariana said. "I have never managed more than six people, though." Daniel nodded. "Have you written any internal tools?" "I have written a few CLI tools, and I have also contributed to our open-source project. So far, those tools have saved us a lot of time."

What has changed on the team

Daniel changed the topic. "Let's talk about recent changes. We have recently adopted a new testing tool." Mariana asked, "Has the whole team started using it?" "Almost. Two engineers haven't migrated their test suites yet," Daniel said. "Have we already deployed the new build pipeline?" Mariana asked. "We have just deployed it yesterday afternoon. So far, the build has been faster, and we haven't seen any new flaky tests." Daniel smiled. "What about the migration to the new database? Have we completed it?" "We have migrated most of the data, but a few reports are still running. The team has identified the remaining gaps and has already scheduled a fix for this week."

What Mariana has learned

Near the end of the chat, Daniel said, "I have noticed you have made a real difference on the team in a short time." "Thanks. I have learned a lot in the last few months," Mariana replied. "What has been the most useful skill you have picked up?" Daniel asked. "Reviewing pull requests. I have never read so much code before, and it has changed how I write my own code," she said. They both laughed, and Mariana added, "Honestly, this is the best team I have worked with."
