arekxv10545yDev are maybe the only profession constantly complaining how ones approach to work is bad, but we do not have any better solution for it in which we are 100% sure.
Code reviews & cleaner code are IMHO very important, maybe more important than developing the code itself.
This is especially true if you have people in the team for which you do not know how they work. And it is astonishing how much time and frustration clean code solves that it is almost insane how little people pay mind to it and just write code to finish a task.
We wouldn't want people building our house or the car we ride to be so sloppy yet we do it all the time in the code. -
somebody7335y@arekxv Actually I know that nobody will build a house/car/phone of my dreams so I go for close enough. And it is not about whether it works or not - thats what the tests are for - but whether you prefer blonds or brunettes most of the time to come to a conclusion (after two months) that you both agree on red heads. And then customer says he requested the car and he has no use for the model you contracted. I kinda get agile approach (not the corporate one) - if it takes half a day to rewrite from scratch it makes no sense to bicker for two days where you would like your curly braces and lets see whether it solves the right problem.

Afternoon spend arguing about small cosmetic changes in code-review effectivelly delaying the release. Feel so productive and understand why everything takes us so long. But looking forward to next week so time sunked in code-review will be larger than the development time.
