Wait, what? How does this follow? In my whole professional career I don't think I've ever sat down at another persons machine, so I don't see how Bob using vim/querty and me using emacs/dvorak could possibly impact our aggregate performance as a team.
Do teams really spend a chunk of time fiddling around on each other's computers?
- ownagefool 11y agoMaybe you have a career that's different from mine. I've spent time upskilling, pairing and mentoring. It's helpful to sit next to these people and show them something and as I said I can teach a junior how to profile on my tricked out vim setup, but helping them do it if we're both using intellij will be less effort in my opinion. Honestly though, I often work with developers (I'm a contractor so I work with tons of people ) who use GUIs for git or vagrant and the like. If you sit down next to me with your windows system using a gui for some development tool asking me questions about why it doesn't work, I'm going to struggle to help you.
