Introducing a brand new hashtag today called #quixotical. Here is the definition:
“ In the context of a team, an adjective to characterize something done by a person that doesn’t take into account the rest of the team.”
Example usage:
Simone: we don’t have auto pull on our staging environment.
Ryan: that is #quixotical
Other examples include:
– not having different staging/production environments for the team to test and deploy changes;
– using manual deployment
– manually using ftp to move files and the WordPress admin area to install plugins by hand;
– not using VVV to allow every developer on the team to have the same project setup;
– not using version control;
etc.
p.s. You can also use quixotic — idealistic without regard to practicality.
