Yes, that's the entry of the rabbit hole, and reader is advised to dig their own tunnel.

I remember following the tension for a bit. Yes, there are other subjects about how things are done, but after reading it, I remember framing "code quality" as the base issue.

In high-stakes software development environments, egos run high generally, and when people clash and doesn't back up, sparks happen. If this warning is ignored, then something has to give.

If I'm mistaken, I can enjoy a good explanation and be gladly stand corrected.

This is what happened here. This is probably the second or third time I witness this over 20+ years. Most famous one was over CPU schedulers, namely BFS, again IIRC.
