I don’t know if that’s really something you can ever grow out of, honestly… And I feel the same way. But if it’s any consolation, it’s pretty much the same wit

I don’t know if that’s really something you can ever grow out of, honestly… And I feel the same way.
But if it’s any consolation, it’s pretty much the same with any cognitive bias: you can never totally eliminate them, but you can make progress, and the first step is just knowing about it! :)
- hotpotamus 4y agoI work with 3 programmers who have worked together for 30+ years (probably a bit rare in any profession, especially tech), and if you talk to any 2 of them separately, they'll talk shit about the 3rd's code. I doubt they'd be surprised if I told them that.
- nerdix 4y agoThey probably talk shit about the others' code to their faces. After 30 years, they are probably like siblings. All the politeness and sugarcoating is gone. Say how you feel and move on. They are also probably intimately familiar with each other's preferences and they likely just don't care. "Bob doesn't like it when I do this but fuck him"
- hotpotamus 4y agoYeah, 2 of them bought houses in the same neighborhood and I generally think of them like siblings.
