Then by his logic we would conclude that the new guy is actually a bad coder. Now what can we say about the original victim? By his logic he is not a bad coder anymore even though he's working with the same level of efficiency. <br> So I feel that it is rude and insulting to be spoken to in this manner. | |
| Apr 8, 2014 at 15:44 | comment | added | Mugen | Thanks a lot for the examples and explanations. This makes sense to me. Could you please provide some more information for the case when the facts are valid (meaning that our developer indeed gets the highest number of bugs logged in his area)? I personally feel that just because he has the maximum number of bugs doesn't mean he's doing a bad job, isn't it? It could be that his area is complex, or he has less experience, or he's a slow learner, or he's clumsy and makes mistakes. But who knows if he's good in some other aspect? ...CONTD 1... | |
