> Rewriting your teammate’s code without a discussion is a huge blow to your ability to effectively collaborate on a codebase together. It's a mistake to believe that the code belongs to any one teammate. Code in a shared project is the project's code, not any individual's code. Folks stuck on the idea that any given part of a project is "their" code would do well to look up the term "egoless programming" and start applying it to their work.
