The worst programmer I know
By no mean I am the best dev I know, but I consider myself the best one with finding answer that I have met in person. e.g: fixing bugs, reading docs, even for things I have no exp about.<p>Anw when I was data engineer at a big corp data team, I was the one the 2 seniors there with 20 juniors, like fresh out of the colleges. So the juniors ended up ask me with everything since it was faster than googling them self. I still deliver things in my responsibilities since I can do it quick, also spend like one third of my times to mentoring them. Later, I found out that my manager thought I was slacking off, not working to my full potential.<p>Yes, the manager never payed attention to how the team worked. All the juniors thought that I was the reason the team was running smoothly and quickly. Ok, fine, I realized sometimes you cannot just work, you need to sell your work, even in your companies.<p>The nature of data engineer job is to ensure things run ok. So everything too well for a long time, then the higher ups might think it is easy. It might sound like bad thing, but when a bug happened, sometimes I let it be if it is not too serious, to let it rises to the higher ups. Of course being able to solve it quickly is a must.
