I can't swear or reference other team members anymore, it was considered hostile. Fuck Steve, trying to get his git numbers up by running a linter on my feature branch while I am developing the branch. Now I can't fucking quickly read the code, it is a mess for a reason, it is temporary. I hate Python for this, I come from C++ land and need my whitespace.
Solved! Tell your coworker to make their own branch!
That comment made me laugh so hard
If it's your feature branch, just revert his commits (or reset the remote branch to your local branch)? Not sure why a feature branch would be shared between devs...
Ask Steve why he was working on my feature branch. Steve is not a smart person. He also built a feature that another team was working on, over a weekend and implemented it on Monday morning. The feature was already finished on Friday and the PR was waiting for approval. While 10x devs work fast, they create 10x the work for everyone else. He no longer works here and it turns out he burned every single team with shit like this. It is so hard to get rid of someone who can work fast. When upper management is convinced someone who is productive and smart can do no wrong. They ignore the fucking carnage they create.
Just don't pull his commit
