I wouldn’t ask that if you want to keep your job. | ||

That’s a very silly statement. I’ve been asking that question for over a decade and it’s the question that makes me a better developer. | ||

I wouldn’t ask that if you want to keep your job. You are correct. You ask that if you want to get promoted to a better job, because you understood the problem and likely saved the company money, time, effort or all three, rather than just pushing the buttons like a good code monkey. | ||

Really? I’ve asked that question all the time throughout my career. Lots of promotions. No firings or layoffs. Why would you lose your job? | ||
