I'm a system engineer working right now as a developer semi full stack. I said 'semi' because I really don't like css, but I think because I wasn't catch the funny part yet.
I have a question. I'm in a team that doesn't follow any standard, we just write as we think is well. This may be is a company problem who never said us that we must follow this convention but, leaving that aside, how I can say to my fellows "Hey our work will be easier if we write following this convention, standard or avoiding the dirty code" without say dirty and without offending anyone?
There is so much to say about this topic. First thing that comes to mind is do you think introducing coding standards would be possible? If your immediate reaction is that this would be difficult, then why? For example is it that you think no one would ever agree to a standard? If that’s the case, start with just a few rules that you know everyone will agree with. Perhaps have a weekly meeting to discuss new rules. If even this seems difficult, then perhaps you have to work on building trust with your teammates so that they become more open to persuasion.
None of that is going to happen overnight, so at the same time you need to figure out a way to make peace with the code you dislike that is invariably going to be added to your repositories in the meantime 🤣
