Sounds like the author is sharing a personal story here. I&#x27;m guessing he wrote some FP code and one his coworkers complained about it.<p>OP, two pieces of advice:<p>- Ask yourself why your coworker went to your boss instead of talking to you directly<p>- Work on your communication skills with your coworkers. I&#x27;m guessing you have an attitude that&#x27;s rubbing them the wrong way (I&#x27;ve seen a lot of this coming from people who are trying to impose advanced techniques upon a team that&#x27;s not ready for those).<p>It&#x27;s startling how so many bright programmers possess so little social awareness.
