What happens if the person who wrote the code went on vacation? What happens if the code is many years old and no current team member has touched the code? Understanding code you didn't personally write is part of the job. | ||

I agree that understanding legacy code and code by other people is part of the job, but I don't see how these points are related. > What happens if the person who wrote the code went on vacation? They get yelled at, because shipping code at 5 pm on Friday and then leaving for vacation is typically considered a "dick move". > What happens if the code is many years old and no current team member has touched the code? Then the issue probably isn't caused by a recent deployment? | ||
