This direct approach sounds really good, but seems dependent on having a certain personality to pull off without sounding aggressive. For those with low EQ, a shit sandwich is just easier to execute.

Why would asking someone to walk you through code be a red flag? Isn't it usually a way to understand the context of choices, not that a reader can't understand what code is doing?

The fact that at least an effort was made does count for something, I believe.

Explaining the experience would make it a learning moment, "trust me don't do this" doesn't do much to legitimately motivate an alternative choice

I love this thread, thank you for posting it. It's awesome to see this stuff talked about, even if only online. I wish more work places valued this question. I'm fine, though struggling a bit. I'm taking a long break to scrat

That's a material strategy, if it weren't successful by material measures it'd be just a failure in implementation. It's kind of like saying this path was the right path because we've made it pretty far on it.

In a poor country, how are economic development and stability/security not pragmatically the most important values?

Patience is measured here by the question "Would you rather receive 100 Euros today or x Euros in 12 months" [0] -- when I was broke, I definitely would've said 100 today at just about any x value. Now, going through the tree

Reviewers not willing to learn anything during a code review is probably an easy tell for a crappy code review culture

Open sourcing still may not level the playing field if it turns out it requires corporate (or state) level resources to operate

Interesting that a one letter typo changes the meaning so much!

Could be that memoization can be implemented in user land so it takes lower priority

For the regex novices here, would anyone mind explaining what that pattern is meant to match? More specifically, what `. (?:. =.*)` is meant to do?

IMO one of the great benefits of working physically near your coworkers is the ability to sit in a room and discuss things. It never made sense to me that PR's would happen mostly over the internet when the person who wrote the code mi

Our values are so far skewed towards progress that actually directing that progress to be beneficial to all is almost an afterthought (or, work that most people aren't really allowed to contribute to). People also aren't rewarded

I had no idea there might be some connotation about remote workers as some kind of people, any idea what they may have meant?

Do you do other things during the work day? How do you fill the time?
