I had a 6.+", 300+ pound dev get in my face after he belittled my code and I called him on it. Claimed my formatted SQL (select.from.where all on separate lines) were the reason for the poor db performance. It wasn't his N+1 code pattern (that was fine?)...it was the carriage return+line feed characters causing SQLServers optimizer not to function at its optimal efficiency and the processor had to strip all the 'wasteful' characters. I called bull-ya-know (few times I ever cussed out loud at work)
T: "You calling me a liar?"
Me: "No, you're just wrong."
- walks over, gets in my face -
T: "I've been a developer for over 10 years. I know what I'm doing"
Me: "Yea? Me too, ever since MSSQL 6.5. Can you prove it?"
T: "Wha...? uh...its common sense"
Me: "No, prove it. We're computer scientists. Execute the process and prove me wrong."
- drops an F-bomb and walks out -
That altercation got me called into the boss's office to discuss my problem with not being a 'team player'. -
Nearly. Guy was telling everyone for ages everyday how great windows was and how much Linux sucks. Telling it as opinion, fair enough but that was way too fucking much.
