Too Long; Didn't Read
One morning, as I was warming my breakfast in the office kitchen, a colleague of mine walked in and we started engaging in some small talk. I’m going to call this colleague Freddie. Freddie had been at the company for a few of weeks, so naturally, I asked him how things had been going. What he went on to say has stuck with me since. He started with a sigh and spoke about how he had been having trouble understanding the codebase he had inherited on the particular project he was working on.
