Today is the first day in the new team (Shackleton). The good thing Alhamdulillah is that I've been given some work to do already. I have to find instances of two deployment flags, and turn them off. The work itself was okay, just using AZDO to find instances of ~DeliverySearchInitialLoad~ and ~ConsignmentInitialLoad~, and effectively removing the code that relies on it being turned on/off. As of writing this, I've made a PR for the ~DeliverySearchInitialLoad~ flag, and I'm about to start on the ~ConsignmentInitialLoad~ flag. I hope to finish it by tomorrow In'sha'Allah. The part that takes a while is the testing, as getting the consignments in the database is a pain to do through the UI. 

Update (idk why I'm saying this, it's only been half an hour): I started the ~ConsignmentInitialLoad~ flag, and it doesn't seem too bad, I've got the controller class changes, and all that is left is the test class, and the actual testing (plus the SQL removal scripts). I hope to finish it by tomorrow In'sha'Allah.

We also had a meeting on ESS deployments, I need to read up on the documentation, and the other links, as well as the video recording with team Ludo. Quite a lot to do, but definitely a good opportunity to do YAML pipelines, and learn about the deployment process. I also need to get familiar with the new team, and the work they do, as well as the codebase. I'm sure it will be a good learning experience, and I'm looking forward to it In'sha'Allah.
