It's hardly unreasonable to expect your peers to at least _try_ to understand what they are doing. Copypaste coding is never conducive to a good codebase.

- eddythompson80 2y agoI do expect them to understand the code they are copying/pasting. Though to an extent. I understand they would test the code. They would try different inputs to the code and its result. I’d also understand they would test that code across all the different “Linux distros” we use, for example. After all, that code basically calls a Linux syscall, so I understand that’s very stable. Then I learn that this particular syscall depends on this kernel build flag that Debian passes, but not alpine. You can get it in alpine if you set that other flag. What are you a “caveman not knowing that `pctxl: true` is the build flag to enable this feature?”
