Quote from my new colleague: "I rather cut of <colleagues> fingers".

They both were troubleshooting a server problem. Both of them did not cause the server problem afaik.

It's easy to say that about someone's else his fingers. Your own, that's real dedication.

Worked somewhere where we rotated the support role per team meaning you almost always work on issues you didn't make yourself. Idea behind is education. But in reality it was just goddamn inefficient. Doing that work I even doubt the effectiveness of reviews. The stuff that went past that.. Just like the tz situation at Linux, how could someone not see socket code on a zip library. Original maintainer was kinda burnout, I know

@retoor if you're never fixing your own problems it means you can never learn from them... wow yeah one way to create animosity

@jestdotty sometimes it's your own, but 90% it's not. But yh, it was fucked working on smth with time pressure while you know the one next to you could fix it in a second

@retoor well it's also the whole being aware and embarrassed by your own bugs. if someone else has to fix it you will never get better, because suddenly you're omitted from the knowledge of how you're making the bugs
