There was someone on my last team who loved using this term in pointless nitpicking critiques. We were a prototyping team. One minute he’d wax philosophical about how prototyping should be done simple and fast, using throwaway code and cobbling together any preexisting bits we can find to move fast, and the next he’d claim that the name “NetworkManager” for the net code client component was “code smell”. Very eye roll inducing.
- coinbasetwwa 4y agoThe worlds full of hypocritical morons. There was a guy on my team who would promote random blog post driven ideas, but never implement the codebase. So the codebase he led was a dumpster fire, but he had enough clout that our director turned a blind eye. It would have been laughable, until our applications merged and we all had to play in the same trash pile. Everyone worth their salt left the company, so mission accomplished I guess.
