Starting new rotation

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.
