    Scattershot troubleshooting is the most frustrating way of looking for solutions, can’t imagine why that would be any sane persons first option, or even before asking for another set of eyes.

    Not really relevant to your comment, just that I’ve seen that myself a few times and it always frustrates me. Especially if the person does multiple changes so it’s hard to find the origin of any new issues

      Tell me about it, all the juniors were doing it at my old job, and I was usually the one tasked with fixing their shit. And since we basically didn’t do any form of mentoring (including code reviews) it was such a pain in the ass to get them to change their ways

        Tell me about it, when the roles are reversed and nor the manager ex-dev nor the older dev care about good programming practices it’s a far west where the junior desperately tries to become the dictator of a ruleless country
