Yeah I have periods of downtime at my current job and I just dig in and learn as much as I can about the tools/languages I work in or write stuff that will help me down the line. I've built a few components that ended up saving me (and some of coworkers) a lot of work on later projects. Also read the forums.

Is pair programming something people actually spend a majority of their working hours doing? Standing over a coworker's shoulder and going over something every once in a while is fine but doing it all the time sounds like the most miserable thing in the world.

Here's our PR process: 1. Break tests 2. Create PR without running tests locally 3. PR build fails 4. Reviewer merges without looking at code or failed build 5. Develop build fails 6. "Must be a problem with the frontend"

We're using Elasticsearch as our sole datastore and then ended up setting everything up with basically no analyzers anyways because we never use text search and only do exact and wildcard queries

TBH the answer is going to be highly dependent on the nature of the data and how it's being used. I wouldn't say that "I don't want to GET/POST the whole thing" is a very compelling reason by itself. Is there some reason why a complete GET/POST is expensive? Is latency a major concern? Are they doing bulk updates of single fields? Is the thing they really want to do something that would be better served by a new API (e.g.: update by query)? Does every other API already implement this as a standard? Regardless the question isn't "what is the best way to do this?" it's "is it worth spending the time to do this?" and it's not up to you to come up with that justification, and possibly not up to you to make that decision.

I wouldn't do anything without some real metrics on how much these operations are actually bogging down your servers. He wants you to make a new API and then rewrite a bunch of client code to optimize a REST call that happens once every few minutes?

If you do decide to help him the answer is probably not writing a generic JSON manipulation API but just giving him an Update Progress endpoint

At my last place there was a guy who would come in before 5 (AM). Most everyone left between 2-3. I came in at like 10-1030 and had the office to myself for 3-4 hours every afternoon it was loving great.
