Move fast and break things.
Merge vulnerabilities.
Double the work.
Merge code without tests.
Anything, but don’t let code become stale.
Something like that happened to me yesterday. I reviewed one PR, then some Important Guy came in and said:
- it is nice you reviewed my work, but we need to push this to production right now.
- just fix these things, I described you how. Just copy/paste these snippets
- these are cosmetics, I don’t care
- “cosmetics”, huh? Your shit may just crash
- gfy and push this to production right now
- well, ok
Of course, lack of these “cosmetics” caused crash in production. It’s my fault of course.
Test it? Meh. Just ship it.
My old boss (at a sturtup with some ten ppl) loved to do this. When you’re done with your work, merge to master. Boss-man would then revert the commits if he didn’t like the result. Since the branches all were merged, no-one knew what was actually in prod. Fun times.
What in the shit is “xtreme programming”?
It’s when you write everything in l33t WITH CAPSLOCK ON.
I guess that makes COBOL the most Xtreme programming language.
this made my heart rate go up a little bit in a way that doesn’t feel good
I’m having a hard time figuring out whether this guy is a fucking moron or a fucking idiot.
Having a hard time determining whether this is sarcasm or not. Then I see the phrase “JavaScript Engineer” and become doubly confused.
I think the latter makes clear that this is a joke account, doesn’t it?
Node: “Am I a joke to you?”
Yes.
Stop transfering people from sales to engineering!
But Elon’s annoying!
