Were you the same when you were a junior? I was. I didn't have the experience to understand the impact of my changes. The norm reply on HN: "You need more mentoring or code review.". Sometimes (usually?) that is in short supply.
- the_af 4mo agoAbsolutely. I made all the usual mistakes, and had to be mentored and learn from more experienced programmers. (Alas! Sometimes you pick up bad habits from experienced people, and being a junior, you don't know better)
- throwaway2037 4mo agoYou raise a great point in your reply. At some point, as a junior, you begin to develop your own personal software philosophy and break-away from your seniors/mentors.
