      As long as the code you submit is quality. Otherwise brace for impact.

        Well. He’s gotten better.

        I think he really struggled understanding that he was seen as a leader, and that people were modelling his behavior because he was setting the standard. Once he realized that, his criticisms became more… measured.

        Idk, it’s more of a Dr. Cox from Scrubs situation. Clearly not the “villain” but definitely abusive on his way to do good works.

        I guess it’s “Jerk With a Heart of Gold” but it’s not very zippy.

        makes you wonder what the reply would have been like 10 years ago. probably something along the lines “just breathing the same air as you already makes me feel stupider…”
