>>12048621Neither. Autists don't produce good code. They produce code that is organized according to what they think is "ordered" code. A lot of the time they will be just upset you are touching the code at all because they will reflexively react negatively to anyone touching anything. they're a fucking nightmare
I have seen people explain away live production downtime as being the fault of an external service because they coded things in such a way that the application would 500 on not receiving a response. At the time I flagged:
>we should error handle it and recover, no reason not tobut because of autism a senior was not happy to allow work on that area of the code because he had not decided yet how he wanted to do error handling for the entire code.
we suffered 5 downtime incidents as a result of that service not being up for that year. only one other person noticed it and it was a lowly customer support rep who finally asked
>hey autist why is our application dependent on -- external service --?i actually watched this guy with a shit eating grin on his face just say
>oh our app needs to talk to -- external service -- otherwise we can't do anythingto be completely clear, our app was not dependent on that service at all. he just was not handling the very avoidable error.
i've worked with a schizo who full on believed 4G was melting brains, the NSA was recording everything, and vaccines turned frogs gay etc. way better in general to work with but would randomly insist on doing things a certain way because otherwise it would just end up badly. on the basis that he had a good way of doing things I never had an issue with him but I could see how it can get annoying, still not a patch on the autists who throw a goddamn hissy fit when you so much as forget to put in a description tag on a function doc
