Paradox Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 The sad thing is, the people who really need to take notice of this, don't realize they are the poisonous people, especially if they are the ones making a lot of commits, thinking that is all it takes to be a good contributor... Pay close attention to needing goals, and limiting the scope, which does not mean "everyone do whatever they want, willy nilly" 22:34 I have been saying a lot of this for years, especially at this point.

Nay Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) It's interesting that you say that, Paradox. When they were talking about "Identifying Poisonous People" you actually meet all most of the requirements. Congratulations.

Paradox Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 That's exactly what is wrong with this project is that you guys think I'm the poisonous one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a very typical mistake for programmers to get carried away while fixing a bug and introduce some refactoring together with a fix. The result is that the patch gets rather big and difficult to understand. I’m not against refactoring; it’s a very important and positive thing for a project, but do it separately after the bug is fixed and merged. No refactoring while fixing a bug! Quote Always fix one issue at a time — simple as that. No exceptions. Combining several bug fixes into a single pull request is a very bad practice. No matter how simple the fix is, keep it separate from others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Programming is problem-solving. >People often mistake coding for programming. They think that if they learn a programming language (such as JavaScript, Python or Ruby), they’ve learned how to program. That’s nonsense, of course. Learning a programming language without understanding how to solve a programming problem is pretty much worthless. It’s like learning Mandarin and not knowing how to express your thoughts effectively or eloquently. >Make no mistake: problem-solving is difficult. Coding is relatively easy. Really nice (comment about an) article that warns new developers about the long path they need to walk to be Programmers and not just Coders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
