How do you criticize/give feedback someone's work without demotivating them?
- lifeisstillgood 14y agoThere is no technique. There is perceived motivation - does this persons interests align with my own (they want what's best for the project, for my career, for me) There is perceived expertise (this person has been right about this codebase before - Torvalds seems a good example) And finally there is objective evidence - oh look my way has a 50% performance hit If you don't have any of the above there is little way any technique or wording will help. If you have all of the above in spades then you can swear at people on the mailin list and still work right My two cents
