Guys Its Finally Happened to ME! I have....the EYES!
Whats up!
Been a software engineer for over 4 years now. And yesterday I finally experienced the level of enlightenment we all aspire to.
I got a code review request from a fellow senior engineer, it was about 15 files and 300 lines. I finsished the review in about 5 minutes, and requested changes.
Fellow engineer says there's no way you finished the review THAT fast. You haven't even pulled it down and ran it on your local !
I said "I didnt need to pull it down. And as I noted in the review this is not going to work for x,y,z reasons and also these 2 edges cases are uncovered blah blah"
Fellow engineer comes back 20 minutes later, and said "wow how did you know those things were going to happen without even pulling it down"
My response: ".....I can read code? 🤷🏽♂️"
Was a pretty funny moment, but seriously, as of late its like a light flipped on and I can now read and understand other peoples code as if I am reading natural language sentences now. It took me awhile to get to that point becuase for the first 2 years of my career I was mainly reading my own code. But proud to be here nontheless.
