I just use “Claude ‘explain this code like I’m an idiot use git to do it. Make no mistakes’”
People like this author stress me out. But that’s a me thing. Nothing against them.
I assure you that it’s a them thing
I get what you’re saying. To me, this reads like someone who takes pride in forming assumptions (and biases) about people before they’ve even spoken to them. A fun game for them, perhaps, but less fun for the people they are trying to pigeonhole.
I guess there’s a fine line between collecting information to have a productive, data-driven conversation, and doing it to avoid having a conversation entirely.
Also seems like they’re more interested in connecting with the boss than the developers themselves, which is probably something you need to do as a contractor, but yeah, it does alienate other developers.
ha, its all how is the team performing and who can be fired or something. when I look at a repo its more what is this thing.
Not sure why, seems just like useful advice. It sounds like the author does contracting of some sort, so having tools to quickly orient around a new codebase makes a lot of sense.
Why on earth would this stress you out?
for a hot second I thought this is programmerhumor
