    Having a hard time determining whether this is sarcasm or not. Then I see the phrase “JavaScript Engineer” and become doubly confused.

        I distinguish four types. There are clever, hardworking, stupid, and lazy officers. Usually two characteristics are combined. Some are clever and hardworking; their place is the General Staff. The next ones are stupid and lazy; they make up 90 percent of every army and are suited to routine duties. Anyone who is both clever and lazy is qualified for the highest leadership duties, because he possesses the mental clarity and strength of nerve necessary for difficult decisions. One must beware of anyone who is both stupid and hardworking; he must not be entrusted with any responsibility because he will always only cause damage.

        – Kurt von Hammerstein

        LinkedIn is Facebook for that last type.

          Linkedin is for lunatics. Just a bunch of goobers giving digital handjobs to each other.

        Wow, of course he’s pretending the response is a misrepresentation of his opinion instead of defending it in good faith.

    Having to go through the process of merging hurts morale and slows performance. Give everyone on your team the right to force push to master.

    I really wish LinkedIn would add an anonymous cringe emoji. I would use it on like 90% of the content on that site.

    What does “stale code” even mean in this context?

    Does that mean it falls behind stable? Just merge stable into your branch; problem solved.

    Or is this just some coded language for “people aren’t adopting my ideas fast enough”. Stop bitching and get good.

    My old boss (at a sturtup with some ten ppl) loved to do this. When you’re done with your work, merge to master. Boss-man would then revert the commits if he didn’t like the result. Since the branches all were merged, no-one knew what was actually in prod. Fun times.

    If somebody actually did that it would be grounds for removing their privileges to merge into master. THIS, THIS is why the JavaScript ecosystem has gotten so bad, people with mentalities similar to his.

    What if instead of continuous integration we had continuous Disintegration, where you code while listening to The Cure on repeat
