Wow, you must have worked in some REALLY toxic places. I had one toxic senior teammate when I first started out - he mocked me when I was having trouble with some of the dev environment he had created - but he got fired shortly thereafter for being bad at his job.
Everybody else through my 21-year career has almost universally either been helpful or neutral (mostly just busy). If you think code reviews are just for bikeshedding about style minutia, then you're really missing out. I personally have found it extremely rewarding to invest in junior SWEs and see them progress in their careers.
- zcw100 11mo agoSure have. Finance, research labs, government contracting. Can't wait for people to chime in with their horror stories. I've seen some of the most dysfunctional crap you can imagine.
- QuercusMax 11mo agoSorry you've worked for such nightmare places, but it's far from universal. There are LOTS of good companies and teams out there.
- izacus 11mo agoYou seem to have chosen the most toxic (and famous for it workplaces) and now you're misleadingly claiming that's the whole industry. It is not.
- tartoran 11mo agoToxicity is spread out and touching most of the industry. Is it fully toxic? Absolutely not. But I found some level of toxicity everywhere I worked for the past 20+ years in this industry.

- ponector 11mo agoPeople usually are not living good workplace, therefore there are many more open positions to the toxic teams than to the good ones.
- zcw100 11mo agoNice attitude. Thank you for proving my point. If someone works in a toxic environment it must be their fault for "choosing it".
- spjt 11mo agoIn my experience the style bikeshedding comes about when PRs are not properly scoped. At least I have learned to just say TLDR.
