well developer life is shit in a political environment

>> Task 1 is given to sr. dev
>> Task 2 is given to jr dev

>> Sr dev gives estimate for task as 2 days. no questions asked
>> Jr dev gives estimate for task as 5 days, whole team starts negotiating (the st dev being the loudest voice"
>> jr dev ends up with a timeline of 4 days.
(btw task is heavy enough for 5 proper days)

both start work
>> jr dev does the task in 3 days, tries to clear out edges, run test cases, clear doubts (thats also a shitty side rant) and submit a perfect task by day 4
>> sr dev starts fast on day1, takes leave on day 2, works on some urgent bug fix on day 3 and delivers task somehow on day 4

>> both gets new tasks on day 5 . this time sr dev still has prod fixes while jr dev is again doing a large task in bad estimates

>> bugs come on day 6. jr dev task bugs 2. sr dev task bugs 25
>> all bugs get aligned to jr dev because sr dev is working on high priority task

wtf? why am i supposed to fix other people's shit? btw this guy is module lead (next position for SSE) now and i am still the junior dev, and we 2 joined the org on the same day :/

he can't follow proper code architecture, writes shit code and he is getting the wins. I am cleaning everyone's mess and i am getting the stick

this is shit life

    > why am i supposed to fix other people's shit?

    That‘s a wrong mentality. Code doesn’t belong to specific persons. It belongs to the whole team.
    It sounds communistic but it should be "our code" 😄

    You have other issues in the team/company for sure, I won’t address them as I don’t know how to fix them.
    But that‘s just a small advice from me.

    @whimsical Ditto. I am proud of my work. I'm also responsible for my work.

    I let others fix their shit.

    ...sometimes I even leave them a comment that they made a mistake.

    ...but I don't fix that for them.

    @Lensflare I am fine fixing code, but thhis guy doesn't learn and makes trivial mistakes. he doesn't even want to discuss the correct approach and simply do whatever he wants because he is module lead. ( btw i have 5 yoe + 2yoe in internships, he has 6yoe total, but he joined as sse and i joined as SE)
