At my previous company my boss made me angry after I already handed in my two weeks notice so I stopped caring, and I wrote code that depended on the insertion order into a map. Of course I didn't document it. Have fun guys.
- tzot 2y agoYour ex-boss made you angry and you left code that will make the life more difficult for whom? Only your ex-boss or more people? Who gets punished for what you perceive as one person's mistake?
- anal_reactor 2y agoIt was a company where 80% of employees were interns, I was one of them, the other 20% were people who couldn't get hired elsewhere, with just a handful of those who actually knew what they were doing. There was no leadership. I agree that I handled the situation unprofessionally, but I feel excused, considering the circumstances. Whether I'd do it again depends on who'd need to clear up this mess. If it's people I care about because I got to know them - I'd keep my cool. But if it's some abstract "organization" where I was just a random cogwheel with zero connection to other cogwheels, then you can't expect me to care about anything that doesn't include "me".
- saagarjha 2y agoWe can expect a lot from you, but I guess you’re always free to let people down.
- anal_reactor 2y agoIf I counted each time people let down me I'd definitely broaden my vocabulary of huge numbers.
