in agreement with basically every single thing you’ve written lmao. my “fucking fine, what have you got” moment was trying to parse things in a datadog log pipeline and being given three separate completely imagined solutions.

it’s now at a point where I review a coworker’s PR on something that needs to be high performance and there’s code parsing a JSON string, taking one property from it, uselessly serialising it back to a json string, and deserialising it again using a second library.

i left a comment asking him to fix it, and he replied like he understood what i was asking him to fix, then followed up with mostly rewriting the function but not actually fixing the thing I pointed out.
