If a TODO passes code review, more than one person fucked up.
At my first job after university, we did releases every Friday evening. From 3-5pm, all you would see in the Slack channel was a flurry of everyone committing straight to master (with a bunch of merge conflict commits between). Oh and then we'd release. Fun times.
A free for all, late Friday deployment is baffling… We’ve got a strict window of Tuesday-Thursday for releases (unless it’s a critical issue), and a 2-3 day merge freeze to help mitigate unexpected changes.
We’ve got a relatively small team with LOTS of moving parts, so minimizing deployment issues is always top of mind.
I literally know multi billion dollar B2C startups doing the same. It's got so toxic that the management regularly fires people and to fill their spots, they offer obscene amounts of money just for starter positions.
Where's this? I feel like I can milk the company for a little while lol.
Eh, then you just get those idiots who avoid using TODO: because it makes the code review "harder".
That's no longer a technical process issue but more of a teamcoach/HR kind of issue then. You should be able to assume good intentions from colleagues, imho.
You guys do code reviews?
I mean, just look at how many patches in Android are marked DO NOT MERGE, DO NOT MERGE ANYWHERE, etc, but are in mainline
Especially the devops team. That keyword should be caught in a precommit hook
We use a CI pipeline check which prevents merges to master if the code contains a TODO. A precommit hook only works if the developer has the hooks configured.
See this is why the devops team should do it and not me
