This is a depressingly perceptive comment. Is there anyway to counter or discourage these tendencies in other coders, do you think?
Normally, that would be management's job, or that of senior devs. But the former seem to encourage, or at least tolerate hypercritical responses, and the latter often actively engage in them.
- JustSomeNobody 12y agoGood question. I don't really know the answer. I worked at a company where the developers were very negative. Conversations just dripped with sarcasm. I think it's infectious. If the mentors are negative and overly critical, I think people become like them at some point, if only because that's the only way to communicate with them. I think you have to be self-aware and just know when it's time to exit.
