    Having dealt with this drama before, and as team lead currently, as soon as this project began, the first thing I did was set up a linter with very specific rules. If a dev doesn’t agree with the rules defined there, too bad. They’re there to prevent this kind of drama, and to make peer reviews more focused and productive. I don’t wanna see PRs about syntax. They’re nearly always just a difference of opinion.

    Oof. This is a pet peeve of mine.

    As manager, I shut this conversation down via direct messages to each team member involved.

    I remind them that they agreed during retro to live with the current set of decisions for exactly two weeks until next retro.

    I don’t dictate much, but I do dictate that Slack isn’t an acceptable place for this kind of discussion, on my team.

    The only related thing, that belongs in slack, on my team, is a link to the current accepted team standard - which will be open for review and changes again during next retro.

    Alternately, if there’s no strandard for this yet then my team knows they’re encouraged to wing it until we discuss at next retro.

    And yeah, I’ve had to open an issue to revisit a variable name after retro, lol.

    My team are an opinionated bunch, and they’re often perfectionists.

      You allow naming schemes to change every two weeks? That’s just insane! You might as well not have a naming convention then, since the project is going to be full of different conventions.

    I don’t get this meme at all… What am I expected to see in this picture? Or how am I supposed to interpret it?

    Let me tell you: I’m currently developing a user-defined, recursive form, and most of the trouble with that stems from the fact that I don’t have a good name for the repeatable part of that form (as opposed to a static part) and the thing the form is embedded in.

    Variable names do matter.

    When I was a mod on Reddit we had a slack channel, one of the new mods got outed and shamed for a post where they were a dick at a show, the sub turned on them so we had to remove them, the head mod scolded them while we were all silent watching, it felt like we were kids hiding on the top of the stairs watching a sibling get scolded.
