Have you worked closely with development? Was there ever a need to read code?

Yes, I often had to read other people's code, especially when working closely with developers. This is necessary for:

• Understanding the logic of the system and business processes.
• Analyzing requirements and identifying potential problems or discrepancies.
• Preparing technical documentation or specifications.
• Assisting in testing and bug detection.

For example, when working on new functionality, I studied the existing code to understand how it is implemented, what data is used, and how to better integrate new changes without disrupting the current logic.
