How to make your colleagues miserable 101.
1. open a cr,
2. have your inexperienced friend approve it,
3. have the lead eng add 15 comments they caught,
4. merge the code anyway despite it breaking the core feature that’s being merged in parallel because you can’t just follow the design of the person who thought everything through and decided you knew better,
5. waste 8 more hours of your lead while they pair program with you, explain the consequences of your changes as you start to grasp that there’s a lot you don’t know, reverting many of the changes, implementing a cleaner approach, understanding why the lead commented what they did,
6. and hope they won’t get mad when they go back to fix merge conflicts on things that shouldn’t have been touched as they try to build the core..
