    Lol, the lead can’t spec the style, he just reviews the code and asks for changes. Sometimes it’s just that we already have a method that does a similar thing, so we should use it. Of course an AI wouldn’t know about that unless you gave it access to your code. And given how speed first AI companies are, I would never trust that data with them. But other times it’s just the leads personal preference.

      I just had to transfer one of my guys out after frequent arguments to do that. I don’t understand - I point out a function that does exactly why he wants, yet he still wants to reinvent it.

      I’m dreading when I come back after break. I got 50% a new junior guy who keeps saying he’s a great programmer. No sign of it so far but my management insists I take him on. All he needs to do is expose a new endpoint, wire up functionality that’s already there, and I walked him through it. Should be easy, right? No reinventing the wheel, right?
