I'm going to differ on the 'don't be a blocker' thing. It varies by team. If your whole team agrees that the code reviewer is the 'gate' then people understand that they just need to fix the thing and move on. I…
It's a problem for small teams and people with little experience with code reviews. The 'walking on egg shells' thing happens ALL the time. I've never seen this get solved overnight. Your management really needs to sit…
I thought you were being facetious.
Yup - it's also similar to how great developers don't debug or code by braille (did that work? nope. How about this? Nope. Ok lemme try this...) but rather will sit and think through a problem. #3 is where a lot of…
This is exactly my feeling too. Justin seems too smart by half. His attitude is very much like an ivory tower academic who is befuddled that people don't follow best practices. I also get the feeling he's not used to…
Yeah but his point is really silly. He's trying to make the argument that by making it impossible to lock the car we won't leave valuables in it. His argument is that since a person could just smash the windows and open…

The value, I think, is in challenging your own beliefs. To be honest this reminds me a lot of how Microsoft used to treat issues in their code/software 'Oh, that's a user error. That's not a bug, that's a feature!'. And…
Don't most sites require that you enter your old password before you can change it?
So you log out of your computer every time you give your computer to your wife?
That's fair enough but then why put in a giant 'SHOW PASSWORD' button. Why not just remove that button. I expect a hacker using my computer with admin rights to get everything. I don't expect my GF to get my passwords…
This is really, really narrowminded. You're thinking of security in the sense of some hacker or someone who has technical abilities. What about the jealous ex-bf? He asked to use the gf's computer when they were dating,…
I consider it a sign of intelligence to be able to speak about complex issues in a plain and straightforward manner.
