1. Challenging Walter on anything and everything seems to have
become a rite of passage in our community. Some of the reviews
of his code are the most petty and meaningless I've seen in my
career, bar none. It doesn't help that he doesn't budge on some
of the petty issues, thus a vicious circle gets created. In a
recent review, after his code had been pecked within an inch of
its death, it took me minutes to find two bugs that nobody had
the eyes for in spite of every token of his code having been
scrutinized.
I've recently been guilty of this[1], and I stand behind my
nitpicking 100%. The code was fine, but toCapitalize was a bad
enough name (being improper English) that I felt compelled to
comment. Spiritus quidem promptus; caro vero infirma.
