So did you ask him to reflect his entire action and thinking process. Ask his what was good and what was bad.what did he learn along the way. If the same thing happens, is he going to do the similar thing?
I run this 3 times everyday against myself and twices in a team each day, if I have a team.
The basic idea is to run stand-up and scrum on personal level.
If the new guy starts to think about what is the purpose of life or what he does exist, it is taking effect. -
@bashleigh That made me lol π
What a peculiar way to vent out. -
@dr-ant Well you've heard of throw the book at him. Now it's throw the code at him. The more shit he writes the more it hurts. There's logic to my madness I swears it.

@bashleigh that's good logic and it generates lols too. π (at least for me)
This is just the kind of thing that I can see Archer doing. -
@sslPoodle the issue with that though is that by doing it the hard way, you are complicating the life of future developers who have to maintain it, as well as wiring your brain towards that method.(when you do something, you create connections in your brain, which makes you more likely to do it again). Sometimes that's not a big deal, when it is something that is preference it doesn't really matter. But when an hourish task for 10ish lines takes 3 days and 100s of lines, then it's a big deal.

We have a new developer working in our office. He is fairly new, which is understandable, so he asks for help regularly(which I actually appreciate). This time however, he asked for help, and every step of the way argued it. He said he needed help making a small circle(it's just an indicator on a table).
I told him if there is a mat-icon it would be simple, but if not it would still be pretty simple with CSS. He argued that those two options seem messy. I pointed out they are extremely clean actually, and showed him how it was only about 4 lines of css. and 1 if there was a material icon. He agreed it was pretty easy, and then went with a complicated way to have green or red. I let him know that was really trivial, and even gave him the exact code he needed for it(at this point, he could have copy and pasted, adjusted the conditional to the name of his variable, and be done).
He proceeds to take 3 more days to complete this task, making a new component for a colored circle, using templates and nested css in the html, and hard coding the color as opposed to using the material colors we use site wide. All in all 100+ lines of code. And he felt my solution with fewer than 10 lines was messy.
