To anyone being harsh to this guy I suggest you go back and look the code you wrote 5 or 10 years ago. Now think how bad the code you write today will look to you 5 to 10 years later.
Edit: I lost my train of thought. I meant to say, imagine how your code looks today to someone as good as you but with 10 years more experiences than you.
- greenyoda 9y agoAlso, 500 lines of tested, working code takes most people quite a bit of time to write.[1] So where was this developer's team lead or manager while they were writing all this unnecessary code? Why didn't they give the developer feedback much sooner? This sounds like as much of a management failure as a technical failure. [1] If the developer only spent a couple of hours writing it, they wouldn't have wasted too much time, so why should anyone be talking about firing them?
