TFW you want to do things good, slow and expensive, but management makes you do them fast, cheap and crap.

No, you still have a PR to review.
> someone nitpicks word you used in a variable declaration
> you change it
> someone more senior says the former made more sense
> this goes on for far longer than it should
> eventually you get a real review from someone in your team that identified something actually needs to change
> you change it and re request reviews
rinse and repeat
Had a team lead that kept requesting nitpicky changes, going in a FULL CIRCLE about what we should change or not, to the point that changes would take weeks to get merged. Then he had the gall to say that changes were taking too long to be merged and that we couldn't just leave code lying around in PRs.
Jesus fucking Christ.
There's a reason that team imploded....
Had a colleague who would comment things like “add a newline here” as well as things that were fully his own preference.
That was the only time I closed comments without replying to them or fixing them, without feeling bad.
For stuff like that, it's best to have an auto formatter like checkstyle or something.
People need to lameduck their code more
People need to reply to those comments with "out of scope" and a link to a new issue that will get buried in the backlog more often
Don't forget get questioned by your manager/scrum lead as to why its taking so long to get out.
Well, I've had the PR ready for 3 days and the team asked me to make changes today
you forgot the part where you have to rebase your branch and that causes merge conflicts that were resolved later but somehow still persist.
Change management! :-)
Or, if possible, change employer.
(And I know we're in meme-land, but I always see it as a developer's task to inform of the trade-off between fast and good)
Every other skilled trade just says "Fast, Right, or Cheap: pick two."
It's not my fault if they always pick fast and cheap
Okay, sure, do fast. Then:

i got the sense that some people wanted to when i made this same point about this industry in this same community about a week or so ago.
i love the duality of lemmy sometimes. lol
Are you me?
TFW "npm install somePackage" adds hundreds of names to your supplier list, some of whom aren't even adults let alone companies, and the policy says that each new supplier needs to go through a thorough vetting process.
It's funny because it's true. All those little guys will fuck you over eventually and likely are real trojans.
For that reason I see why companies maintain private mirrors. Heck I want one myself in case any more get lost or removed.
And each in their own way. Like leftpad or openssl
Nice to meet you, Jia Tan
Never run npm audit. You won't like what you see.
I absolutely cannot relate to using a ton of libraries in production code.
Node, and you'd be surprised.
I've written Node code, I just try to limit the number of libraries I use
Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
