There certainly is a balance to giving feedback like this. It very much depends on team dynamic and the level of trust between team members. I have experienced lower levels of trust and worsen proficiency in giving and receiving feedback described in this article since the whole WFH thing started, especially as teams at my employer change and we bring on new team members. People are a lot more sensitive, everyone collaborates less and we are accepting a lot of bad code into our projects than ever before. We had about 1/3 of a crucial team leave recently. At their exit interviews they all described how one of the reasons they left is because the code base has turned into a pile of junk and no one wants to work on it. I recently agreed to join this team to help turn it around because I have a reputation for ensuring good engineering practices and giving feedback is a strength of mine. But boy, this environment is challenging with developers all working from home. I'm curious if this resonates with anyone else, specifically if others have similar experiences with wfh.
