plusgut60137yYou are oddly specific on some parts, I am guessing you actually did have someone in mind.
Anyway I agree on every single point, especially admitting wrong doing to yourself and learn from that. -
@plusgut Hahaha yes, I searched the history of what really irks me & put it together.. admitedly that one guy who is really really bugging me falls into most categories here.. :(
-
Hmm..
Forgot all about checking out whole solution & later checking in all files, even the unchanged ones, making a mess out of everything..
And the mandatory debugging shit that is still left in..not just comments, but code that breaks the workflow.. -
@sladuled I think your guy works at my place too. The other day he asked me what’s the point of cleaning up legacy, bad code.

practiseSafeHex20Its Friday, you all know what that means! ... Its results day for practiseSafeHex's most incompetent co-worker...
Rather than singling out one person, I wanna present what I see as incompetent/stupid/ignorant:
- no will to learn
- failure to follow the very specific instructions & later asking for help when they FUBR sth & not even knowing what they did to fuck up in the first place
- asking how to solve stuff, then ignoring the suggestions & doing sth totally against recommendations
- failure to remember most basic stuff, especially if not writing it down to look at later when needed
- failure to check logs & 'google' stuff before asking why something isn't working the way they want it
- after two weeks, asking me how feature xy works, mind you they coded it, not me
- asking me why they did something in a specific way - WTF, am I a mind reader?! Who designed that crap?! Me or you?!!
- being passive/aggressive & snarky when told to do something or being asked why isn't it done already
- not testing their shit properly
- not making backups when upgrading (production) servers
- not checking the input value, no validation.. even after many many debacles on production with null ref exceptions
- failure to admit they fucked up
- not learning from (their) mistakes
