    Having a hard time determining whether this is sarcasm or not. Then I see the phrase “JavaScript Engineer” and become doubly confused.

        I distinguish four types. There are clever, hardworking, stupid, and lazy officers. Usually two characteristics are combined. Some are clever and hardworking; their place is the General Staff. The next ones are stupid and lazy; they make up 90 percent of every army and are suited to routine duties. Anyone who is both clever and lazy is qualified for the highest leadership duties, because he possesses the mental clarity and strength of nerve necessary for difficult decisions. One must beware of anyone who is both stupid and hardworking; he must not be entrusted with any responsibility because he will always only cause damage.

        – Kurt von Hammerstein

        LinkedIn is Facebook for that last type.

    Having to go through the process of merging hurts morale and slows performance. Give everyone on your team the right to force push to master.

    I really wish LinkedIn would add an anonymous cringe emoji. I would use it on like 90% of the content on that site.

    What does “stale code” even mean in this context?

    Does that mean it falls behind stable? Just merge stable into your branch; problem solved.

    Or is this just some coded language for “people aren’t adopting my ideas fast enough”. Stop bitching and get good.

    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.

    Nothing improves morale like the on-call having to unfuck production for the third time that hour because mUh VeLoCiTy decided code review and testing in CI was too slow.

    Techbros are fucking cultists.
