Counter-point: I’ve dealt with engineers who certainly would’ve considered themselves this article’s brand of “craftsman”. But all it really meant was that they tolerated their own TODOs in the code and no one else’s. Theirs were obviously justified and smart and correct TODOs and yours were just nonsense, trivial, brutish TODOS.

Too frequently this attitude is just a bad cover for acting like your shit don’t stink.
