No, hasn’t happened to me.
I guess if it had, I‘d stop correcting their code and be ready to blame them when shit hits the fan. -
But I had some similar situation, maybe:
I did a code review and predicted that a particular part of the code would be causing problems in specific cases.
The author disagreed. I explained. She asked what I would suggest instead. I said I'm not 100% sure but she should try some solution that I provided that *might* help.
She didn’t want to and was skeptical about it and declined to change anything.
Later I tested the build and it had the problem that I was suspecting.
I told her and she went totally aggressive defensive and asked how one can work with someone like me.
She basically said that I should have implemented the fix or otherwise shut my mouth about it.
That was one of the most unpleasant and weird experiences at work. And it did come out of nowhere. -
@Lensflare Interesting. Sounds like some personal problems on their side. Not wanting to cooperate is either a violating of contract terms or violation of agile... though normally the manager should come in between if needed.

@Lensflare > 'She basically said that I should have implemented the fix or otherwise shut my mouth about it.'
Wow. She seems to be upset that others are finding bugs in her work.
That, && she thinks others should be fixing her shit?
Nice combo. -
@D-4got10-01 I've done that for someone before and instead I effectively got fired
irresponsible people are no fun to be around. even if you give them stuff and support them all that does is allows them the space to find new sabotaging behaviours... up until one of them works and then they shoot their own foot. goodness gracious
to be fair when you help someone and their sabotage behaviors just roll off you is somehow even worse. then you'll stay there for years thinking it's fine when turns out everybody disrespected you the whole time and your life was going nowhere cuz they hired you as a servant and expected you to just be a low-paid servant with more work and no consolation prizes because while it's clear everything around you is "lucky" and goes well if they involve you so they involve you in everything... their messed up brains never seem to connect that you were the one pulling the strings like a guardian angel to make it all work
and then you depression and wanna suicide -

@jestdotty Yeah, I do remember you mentioning that. That sucks. The lack of accountability makes my blood boil && people should be called out for it so that they possibly learn to be better.
> 'and then you depression and wanna suicide'.
Definitely a sign that something is wrong && there's a need for change. It's why I chose to eventually quit the place that had been making me miserable.

This is the nth software company where you have some asshole who for some reason (probably because they hate you) plays blame-games when it comes to code reviews, when they themselves screwed up in the first place (I know there's git blame, but..).
The guy writes shitty code quickly because the manager asked, then I take my time and patience to make it better, and in the code review they shit on me for things THEY wrote badly? Wtf man. What kind of logic is that? Fucked up people. And then putting shit in bold and exclamation marks (wtf?).
Is it just me or have you also seen this behavior with your colleagues?
