Hello HN,
I started a small one man company with time as I gained more customers I got another person to help me with the programming.
But since then I find myself doing more work trying to fix his code and trying to get him to work in a way that doesn't upset our workflows.
Shamefully on my part, I get really angry and I want to scream at the poor guy but I don't want to make him feel bad. When I get angry I end up taking a few mins off my work to calmn down and then get back to work and try to help him. Or I end up doing his work for him.
How do you guys deal with situations like this, how do you help people get better and make them better programmers without making them feel bad? What do you do when you are angry about the quality of work of someone?
I am honestly a bit scared I get angry, since this is me managing just one person, I have more projects I want to work on so I will need to get more people in, and I don't want to be the sort of person that screams and terrifies people, but instead someone who helps build people.
