This sounds like the story of how I got into CI/CD ….
I was working for a startup, and leadership was amazed at how “productive” this one developer was, changing thousands of files in marathon coding sessions. I realized he knew how to use the refactoring functionality in his IDE. More importantly, I was the QA peon tasked with being first one in every morning to characterize stability before everyone else started working. This guy and his antics made my life miserable.
However, I created build and test automation, and scheduled it nightly (this was before CI was a thing, before we had good tools), so now everyone got emailed the state of the product first thing every morning.
This diva was the only one making changes so all the instabilities were owned by him. Made my life much easier and helped our product get much better. More importantly, it did knock him down a peg, as the side effects of the scope of hos changes became more clear
I'm that dude on my team when it comes to SQL. Everyone on my team (in my whole company, it seems) follows zero formatting standards when writing SQL code. Nothing qualified, no indentation, no query hints or anything to optimize. People just get their sprocs and views into a state of "good enough" and just hit submit.
