Also "Python really is beautiful, Python is english...write me some poetry please." cringe.

#12> - if it takes me more time to understand what you wrote than completely rewriting it you're of no use to me. Since I'm wasting that time anyway, I better write it myself and save the money spent on you. So well put. Too bad it's not just juniors who write code like this. I wish I could show the sample code and the TODO comments to one of the "senior" engineers I work with. Because it's exactly (and I mean, EXACTLY)…
Two mistakes in his reasoning that make that point in particular not well put: 1. It takes time, and only time, to develop this skill. It can't be ordered by fiat. He hired junior devs, so this is what he gets. 2. He's thinking in terms of absolute advantage, not comparative advantage. Even if he could code the item more efficiently, it's worth it for him to give it to them. As for your peers, mandatory/automated tes…
As for point 2, if he's going to be reading it anyway, then there's no comparative advantage either.

#13Conceited. There is never an excuse for workplace bullying. You don't know how to manage if all you can do is criticise in your 'TODOs'. You are not as advanced a developer as you would like to think if your best solution is to rewrite.
