Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I get user stories to develop (code) per week. I split the story into sub-tasks and work on those day-to-day. When the changes are complete, I push me code and get it reviewed.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given the opportunity to think and come up with solutions by myself.
When I don't get it, I am guided and then I pick it up again.
The responsibility made me to stretch myself and build capacity to solve problems.
