I knew moving from a FAANG to a midsized company outside of the software field would be an adjustment. But I was not prepared for the sheer number of things that are just baffling design decisions.

The stuff that everyone recognizes needs to be fixed but haven't had the time to knock out is understandable. It's the stuff that people are like "and what about it?" for the absolute wildest design choices that perplex me the most.

#codeblr #progblr #Code smells #The latest thing is releasing a library that cannot be manually tested outside of prod #I didnt even realize that was possible #If we were using a lisp then itd be a bit more forgivable #It also currently has no unit tests but at least they see the value of that #Theyre saying its a common industry practice #Is it?#Also is it a common industry practice amongst companies that have robust software?#When they hired me they told me they did TDD #That word I do not think it means what you think it means #I went in expecting to be hindered by a rigid push to have 100% code coverage but this is actually worse
