Discussion on: Tell me a coding confession

[Ben Halpern]

I’ll start:

• I still kind of suck at git
• I tend to ignore my linters

Things I continue to work on, but not my best coding qualities. 😋

• I do not do git rebase as often as I should
• I do not commit often enough (usually once for big chunk of work)
• I tend to find every minor security issue (i.e. possible attack vector) and have a long discussions about it with my team
• Sometimes I am "It works on my machine" guy and require more evidence / documentation about potential bugs
• And in the end....I could really be a better developer :/

[Ben Halpern]

I’m a safe and cautious git user and I tend not to mess things up too badly. But I rarely have a good idea of how to get out of a mess without too much collateral damage.

[Ondrej]

I sometimes have tendencies to push to origin/master...which is, sadly, locked.... but by me, haha, so when I'm on the roll, nothing will stop me!

I'm with you linters. I tend to get annoyed by them. They often lead devs to focus on really pedantic problems. With linter indoctrination, you'll be looking at another dev's code and think "Oh they used an if statement to assign a nullable value instead of a ternary statement. They should fix that." Instead of "the overall maintainability of this code looks good."
