- jennyholzer2 11mo agono hate but i would try to fire someone for saying that
- KalMann 11mo agoThis but with hate.
- tossandthrow 11mo agoThat would be an immidiate reason of termination in my book.
- fennecfoxy 11mo agoYes, if they can't debug + fix the reason the production system is down or not working correctly then they're not doing their job, imo. Developers aren't hired to write code that's never run (at least in my opinion). We're also responsible for running the code/keeping it running.
- Ekaros 11mo agoI think words that would follow from me would get me send to HR... And if it was repeated... Well I would probably get fired...
- insin 11mo agoSee also "Why did you do X?" → Flurry of new commits → Conversation marked as resolved And not just from juniors
- gardenhedge 11mo agoSome other comments suggest immediately firing.. but a junior engineer needs to be mentored. It should be explained to them clearly that they need to understand the changes they have made. They should also be pointed towards the coding standards and SDLC documentation. If they refuse to change their ways, then firing makes sense.
