大きなリファクタリング作業を、海外の同僚とビデオ通話で分担する場面。

Summary (JP)

あなたは、古いデータ処理コードを新しい形に書き直す大きな作業を任されました。一人では時間がかかりそうなので、ベトナム出身の同僚リンさんに手伝いを頼みます。二人は作業をいくつかの小さな部分に分け、どちらがどこを担当するかを決めます。最後に、進み具合を確認するために毎日短く話す時間を作ることにします。

You:

Hi Linh, do you have a few minutes? I want to talk about the data cleanup task.

Linh:

Sure, I have time now. That's a big one, right?

You:

Yes, it is. We need to refactor the old scripts, and it's too much for one person.

Linh:

I can help you with it. How do you want to split the work?

You:

Let's split it into three parts. Reading the data, cleaning it, and writing the tests.

Linh:

That sounds clear. I can take the first half, the reading and cleaning parts.

You:

Great, then I'll take the tests. Are you okay with the cleaning part?

Linh:

It's new to me, but I'll give it a shot. I'll ask if I get stuck.

You:

Perfect. Please tell me early if my part starts to block you.

Linh:

I will. Can we check in every morning? Just five minutes to stay on the same page.

You:

Yes, let's do that. A short call at nine works for me.

Linh:

Nine is fine. I think we can wrap up this task by Friday.

You:

I hope so too. Thanks for jumping in, Linh.
